Has anyone ever used this to clean fruits and vegetables?

I have used it diluted to rinse off apples. This info is from Healthy Home Products, that sells Dr. Bronners "Believe it or not, Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap can also be used as fruit and vegetable wash. Mix a quarter teaspoon of it in a sink full of water. Wash residue in fruits and veggies off using the solution, then rinse well before cooking or refrigerating."

I am sorry I can only answer for the fruits and veggies I tried. I know it did not process greens at all. There was a lot of pulp left over from fruit with skins. I hope that helps.....

I had one. Hated it. Did a terrible job juicing even basic things like carrots or apples. You had to practically dice everything to get it in. I got rid of mine after two weeks and got a Jack Lalane power juicer. Works great. But it's not made for leafy things like kale or wheatgrass.

I have used cucumber, carrots, yellow squash, zucchini... also cut fruit like melon, strawberry.. that is what i have used it in.

It juices all of those items excellently. I juiced pineapple, greens, carrots and beet the other day. One of the videos about juicing I watched on YouTube recommended this juicer as the best for fruit. I have found that for best results, the trick is to alternate items when juicing.

Never done that, but I blend fruit and vegetables into a fine pulp, put it in a nut milk bag and get all the juice out. Can't see why the same wouldn't work with potatoes.

I have had no luck doing that. Other than thick and thin slicing, this tool mangles fruits and vegetables with the other blade options. It is a huge disappointment.

It does a better job than any other juicer I have tried. It works the best with veggies and fruits but I also use it to juice berries. Any soft fruits like mango and berries should be run through the juicer two or three times to get the maximum juice out. I save the soft fruit pulp and run it through at least 3 times as I have found this gets the best juice yield. I have seen other people use a hydrolic press to get the remaining juice out of the pulp if they don't want to run it through the juicer again.

Although I have only used it to juice my apples this fall I do plan on using it for other fruits and vegetables. The instruction manual which comes with it does list tomatoes as one of the vegetables for juicing as well as many other fruits and veggies.

I've just used it on potatoes and carrots, but there isn't any reason it shouldn't work on softer vegetables like cucumbers.

I've juiced greens, apples, grapes, melons (honeydew and cantaloupe, maybe watermelon), citrus, beets, sweet potatoes, jalapeno peppers (for a sauce), radishes, ginger, various herbs, etc. It does really well with all of that stuff, but with juicier stuff like melons and grapes you do tend to lose a little more liquid. I usually feed the pulp through the chute one more time if it feels wet. I've found that starting with something dryer like greens or carrots makes the juicier stuff juice a little cleaner. In any event, I highly recommend this item :-)

I've used it for all types of potatoes and sweet potatoes and squash and cucumbers. so far no problems - although overly ripe (soft) ones can mush a little. I am happy with mine.

I have only used it for celery and it is amazing! Check the individual instructions for different vegetables.

I don't think so. I have only used mine for juicing carrots and apples. I am surprised there is so much residue that needs to be scrapped out of the machine when the juicing is done. Not sure how this applies to other machines

Hi, yes I have, it was fine. The slicer works well with most vegetables, softest I have found to be cucumber.

yes, I use it for carrots, cucumber, zuchinni--just about all vegetables. It woorks great. I am very pleased with its performance.

Does pretty good on everything minus herbs and juicing soft fruits (like strawberries). You get some juice but a lot of waste. Most hard fruits and vegetables do amazing.
