Yes there are really two masticating juicers in the US one is the champion and the other is the Norwalk (costs over $2000) It has small teeth that finely "chew" more like chop with ultra vine teeth. even the toughest roots like carrots and beets into a super fine slush, then it compresses the slush Juice comes out through a screen. Omegas and other single auger tupes advertise themselves as masticating but they are really crushing the produce. That's why the champion is more efficient for carrots and beets which truly require masticating, and less efficient (in it's standard configuration) for greens and wheatgrass which require far less shredding.

Mastication is defined by the dictionary as "chewing". This juicers shreds the contents as they enter and compresses and continues to shred as the pulp leaves. So I would say yes it is. The pulp is very dry when it exits but I feed it through again sonetimes to squeeze a little more out. ;)

The juicer is a rotary engine. It turns and the rows of steel teeth embedded in the nylon cutter shreds. Thus, to answer your question, no, it does not chomp--masticate--like our teeth do when we eat. However, there is a mill you can add as an adapter for milling your own grains, even. Google is your best friend for inspecting individual parts. I hope this helps in your search for the juicer of your dreams.

Yes it is. Great for juicing with peel on. Very powerful. If that's what your looking for. I have had mine for several years now and no problems

Hi- This is a masticating juicer. I have one and I also have Omega VRT. If I had to choose one I would take the Champion.

Reading some of the recent posts its important to keep in mind that you have to take the time to Cut All veg and fruit into smaller pieces than what you may be accustomed to. The shoot is smaller than normal and I rarely use the device to push down the veg as its not necessary, this can also aid to the juicer getting jammed. On the whole im very happy with my first masticating juicer.

It did not come with any type of juicer attachment. I use organic frozen fruit for yogurt smoothies. And again, I have not used the food processor attachment.

It will. My only problem with this juicer is that it is centrifugal. It generates more waste than a masticating juicer. When I bought it, I wasn't aware of the 2 different types. After just a few uses, I bought an Omega masticating juicer and love it!

Un Sure. But I personally tested a few juicers and this is the best. It's a masticating juicer. Best for leafy greens etc.

I'm not sure, I returned it because it wasn't a very good juicer. I did however get an Omega and it is fantastic.

No, it's not a juicer. it's a super great, wonderful, marvelous out-of-this world blender.

No I,m afraid not ..the only thing I could think of is that you use the press handle ...pushing away from you with your left hand rather than pulling towards you with your right......mmmmm if you get my drift.Either way it's one heck of a juicer.

No it is not a juicer. You may get a smoothie out of it but even when I do that I have to add more water or almond milk or something.

Yes..it comes out of a chute into an attached container in the back of the juicer.

Its a one mill juicer. Just has the one mill inside that turns slowly. I love it ! Had it for about 3 years now, NO regrets. Even made slushes with it once:) No problems, just have to store it away when not in use bc it takes up space. Enjoy :)

I'm sorry, do not know the answer to that. I don't use it that way, only for my smoothies, fruits and spinach or kale and whatever I toss in. But I do not use it as a juicer.

I think it is, especially if you put a bag in the pulp collector. Also, I would clean the mesh right after juicing to be sure nothing starts to stick; a brush is included for that.

no. It's like an old fashion non motorized juicer....where you twist, say the orange...except this machine does the twisting....you just hold the item.

Yes, it is like most other "masticating" juicer (since it does use any high-speed blades to shred the fruit pulp, nor any centrifuge to extract the liquid juice afterward) It more or less squeezes the pulp slowly (as if masticating the pulp) then forces the mashed pulp past a metal screen to enable the fluid juice to be separated out and into the collection tube.

This is a masticating type of juicer. It has an auger that turns and crushes vegetables and fruits for juice. It can juice leafy greens as well as harder vegetables such as carrot and sweet potato. It does allow some pulp, but if pulp is not desired you can use a sieve when you pour the juice out of the pitcher. It's better than a centrifugal juicer, which can heat the juice and kill the enzymes. It's rather quiet, works slow to prevent heat during the juicing process. Hope this helps.

I'm not thinking so but you can always check it out at Breville.com. You should just get the entire juicer blender as I did. It meets all it is advertised to be and more. Love it!
