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."

To tell you the truth I've never used it with vegetables, But there's always a first time for everything. I know it works with all kinds of meat and it's fast and works great. I bought my son one and he loves it.

Hello Jennifer,I've used it on everything from tomatoes to kiwi fruit and vegetables. On oranges it doesn't do enough in a single pass so you will have to do it twice. Much easier to use a knife. An excellent peeler but be careful of your fingers as it is easy to cut a finger if you are a bit careles. If you are like me, you will only do that once though.Well worth owning one. I bought a few and handed them around to all my family members.Regards,Peter

No problems at all. Works wonderful and saves time because of the two containers. You can mix the fruits in one while you are steaming the veggies.

I have not tried that, but I would think so. I actually did use it on apples for my dehydrator.

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

No. I have not. It works pretty well on mango fruits. You have to position it just right and it works best on fruit that is not over ripe. I would be curious to find out if anyone has tried it on other fruits.

I have had mine for almost a year. I use it every day on multiple kinds of veg. It works very well for most vegetables (I have never tried with asparagus), although I find that unless enough water is used, celery, apples, and carrots can be quite gritty. It may be slightly louder than my blender, but it works fast, so you don't have to listen to the horrible noise for as long :)

It does REALLY well with vegetables; I've only had problems with super wet vegetables (e.g. the seeded portion of summer squash), but that just required some extra cleaning, nothing too intense.

Yes. It works very well. I especially use it to strain blended fruits or vegetables.

I have used it on every fruit and veggie including beets (don't do it) and I have learned that you need to rotate between soft and hard produce to help the machine along. Also, put a fine mesh strainer above the bowl that you are using to collect your juice to make your final product a bit smoother. Enjoy

I have not done that, but it is wonderful for all the things I use it for such as for soups and anything else otherwise requiring chopping. You have to be careful not to over pulse it as it will actually liquefy things. Saves a great deal of time. Great kitchen tool.

I've only used it to cook fruits and veggies. For meats I would boil on the stove, then use the Cook and Blend to puree.

I have only used it for carrots but I imagine zucchini or small cucumbers might work. For the results you get with the carrots alone, it is well worth the price.

Yes I use it all the time for what ever fresh fruit or vegetable that will fit in it. It works great. I have strawberry & cucumber bags which work super too!

Yes. It works well for me. I haven't compared it with other juicers, but all the vegetables that are more dense - like ginger, beets, potatoes, carrots - juice really well.

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.
