Can I juice whole apples without slicing them (one at a time)?

Don't juice the seeds- they contain cyanide. It takes a whole bunch to kill ya but what's the point when you're juicing 'for the health' of it.

I'm glad you asked! I've been using the juicer for five months now. It's a very nice juicer But it's more for an occasional juicing. And you do have to slice up the fruits and vegetables. Especially carrots and beets.

Apples, lemons, soft fruit too! It's so easy to clean and works amazing. The pitcher is larger so great for two people. I love mine and would buy it again.

Yes you can if they are not too big. Otherwise you just cut them in half or quarters. I cut them because I read the seeds are not good for you so I always remove them before I juice the apple.

I never tried... I always cut them up. Other than kale and spinach this machine works well. I suppose if the while apple fit into the opening and you do not mind the core being in your pulp it would be sting enough to push it through. Vague I realize, but I hope it helps.

Only if they are small. I prefer to take the core out of my apples after cutting in half or quartering. Pears. Beets etc I also cut in half because the chute is about 3" in diameter.

No, they dont fit! You have to sílice them in half. Is importante to mention that this juicer is a COMPACT so the cointainer only holds a glass of liquid. But it has good power and for me it works.

I'm sure it can though I've had no need to do it that way. The peeling blade is adjustable and also can be manually held away from the fruit as you turn it. Be aware that the size of the fruit will influence what you can and cannot do. Hope this helps

For manual Juicers, Yes. I make Kale / Apple all the time. Almost every day.

Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item. If you get the 3 lb bags of apples - they are small - like a tennis ball - they slice perfectly. Start it off without the gripper so you get a flat side of the apple, then put the gripper on and slice fast! They do slice thin, probably about the thickness of a greeting card. I pop them in the oven at about 190 degrees for about 45 minutes and they turn just a tad tan and get crisp. I don't season them at all though you can sprinkle some cinnamon if you want that flavor. They turn out great and you can eat a whole gallon ziploc bag of them without any guilt! Yes, as a matter of fact, this was the main reason for me to purchase this item.

I would cut the fruit, it would cut down on the time they needed to juice. I like to use the pulp from the fruit to make fruit leather in my dehydrator, which is really yummy and nothing goes to waste. So, I always stone the fruit and cut out any bad parts when I am planning on using the pulp. I hope this helps!

I cut up the apple so I don't put the core in the juicer. So far it hasn't given any pulp

Basically you are able to juice nearly anything besides banana. I would definitely google for a list of what not to juice. I personally have since upgraded to a different juicer because this one broke on me and the feed tube was too small and inconvenient.

I tend to agree with the other users, I think it may just need to be cleaned out in the middle of juicing if you are doing that many apples. I also always make mine right before I drink it so I only make enough for myself. If you are doing heavy duty juicing, your best bet might be a higher end juicer that can handle the load

The users guide states it is not made for juicing grapes, or uncooked vegetables or fruits. That being said, If you cut up or mash the grapes first, It works fine. It is a more of a fruit/veggie saucer that removes seeds, peelings, etc. You do not get just juice, but depending on the type of a grape, more like a thin to thick sauce. You just need to strain it to get the juice out. Grape skins do break easily in this since there is nothing to cut them. If you cut them open they will juice just fine. I usually run my fruit through twice if the pulp (seeds and skins) are still very wet when they come out. The left over pulp is very dry after the second time. You may have to clean out the screen several times since the skins of some like to stick to the inside too. If you are making a large batch of juice, or don't have time to cut grapes and stop and clean the screen, I would suggest using a juicer made for grapes. You can also stomp or mash the grapes first, then you would have more of a mash that should work just fine. If you soften the fruit and skins by steaming or slightly cooking them, they work better too. Any fruit or vegetable that is not soft does not easily juice. I cut apples in 1/4s and steam them in a little bit of water till they are softer before saucing them for applesauce or apple juice. So, for a small amount of grapes, you are OK, for a large quantity, it would be a slow process.

It depends on how small you cut the apples. Use a corer/slicer, don't peel. Fill the juicer about half full. When the juice starts flowing it shouldn't take to long. I didn't make apple juice but my pear juice turned out pretty good. It took a couple of hours but I filled it up.

Sure，but u need cut these first. This is not enough for whole fruit one time. The only hard thing for me, just clean it after use.

1st Extend the hinged bottom gray plastic tray to the same level of the slicer 2nd. Slice the apple by pressing down the apple, lift the apple and slicer up about six inches. 3rd. Pull the plastic tray up under the apple. 4th Set the slicer and apple down. . 5th.Press the slicer down again 6th. Pull the core out of the slicer. Your finished, you now have fresh apple slices. Good luck! This is the best value of any kitchen tool I have ever purchased.

I haven't tried blending coconut, but I have put in apples (with skin on) and used the whole juice button. Comes out perfectly blended, no chunks at all.

I have successfully used it with sliced apples, pineapple chunks, orange slices, frozen or fresh berries and bananas - I almost always add milk, OJ or water, yogurt and ice. It blends all of that quite well. It is not a juice extractor and does not remove pulp. I have not used it with any vegetables.

I never tried banana in the juicer, and probably wouldn't, there isn't much to juice in them. Apples you could juice it, as well as kale. It's not a very efficient juicer for apples though. I would mainly use it for leafy greens like kale. But IMO, I would get a motorized juicer if your budget allows for time, effort and efficiency!

No, it does it all at once; peels, cores, and slices. Great for zipping through apples for freezing!

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.
