when using blank (for puree), does small amount of juice still drip from bottom?

It may depending on how juicy the produce is you are pureeing. I've never had a leak, however, I still place a container under just in case.If it does leak it will be minimal.

Yes it does and we have not found any fix for it. We even have the manufacture send us a new part but with same results. One suggestion for multiple juices: disassemble the unit to clean & remove debris from prior juicing. Reassemble.unit, snugly fitting the "trap door" and tightly sliding the piece underneath into place (I forgot the name). Sometimes I feel it "settle" into place but not always. I have less leakage now then when I first started using the juicer. (We make nine juices a day. if you plan on using it that much you make want a Norwalk. I have another I still use - Juiceman - and I'm satisfied with that for occasional juices.) Yes it does and we have not found any fix for it.

You can now order a homogenizing body (which is a unibody) from the manufacturer so no dripping!

Ours has yet to drip. Only flaw is rather small opening in which to fill without some spillage but then I'm a shaky dude.

Yes I have the sme one after I use it I do lay it on it's side. No dripping or spilling at all. I hope I helped you out. Have a Great Day:)

Nope and theory issue I have had with it is pineapple. It seems to get stuck in the strainer and slow the discharge of juice.

Mine leaks juice around the cup no matter how tight I screw it on and it runs down into the machine when it's blending. Anyone have a solution for that?

Same as another commenter. I coarse grind, so there's fine powder-like grinds that stick to lid, that I tap into the sink. Even at the maximum amount to grind, the container is filled just below the lip, so there isn't any spillage, and I have very little mess (if any).

Good to know. Thank you. My concern was pulling down too hard, and possibly pulling the fruit basket down & breaking whatever container you where draining the juice into. Thanks again.

This juicer is wonderful as getting the most juice out of whatever you place into it. At most, I've seen only a few drops of liquid sneak out with the plump but in general the pulped is incredibly dry no matter what fruit or vegetable you place into the machine.

No, you may loose a drop but no running down the side. I do have this happen a very small amount when I fill it from empty

Caroline, The main body of the unit will not stain as it rarely comes in contact with the veggies. If a few drops splash on it, they wipe off easily. The top hopper and the twist on front white cap have the most minor amount of staining on small places on the inside. This may be because I just rinse/ hand wash them off when I am done instead of putting them in the dishwasher. The semi clear plastic juice receptacle ( the thing that catches the juice when it comes out of the machine) has discolored a bit. I juice carrots, dark greens and beets at times. All this said, we keep our juicer on the counter because we use it almost every day. It aesthetically looks fine, like any other kitchen appliance. I had the old school spinning blade juicer prior to this one and did some research prior to buying this one. I am pleased so far with the value and the quality of the juice.

Have not tried mine out yet, but have been told filling 1 vessel from another be sure the filler sits higher and upside down as the one being filled is lower, even if the filler is not completely full. Hope this helps.

That hasn't happened to me so far after steaming 6-8 batches of grapes yielding over 6 gallons of grape juice. All the juice collects in the middle (collection) pan with none going in the bottom water pan. Not sure why your juice is getting into the water pan unless there's something wrong with the steamer.

Technically, yes, but if pressed to the bottom the leaf/water ratio is so small that additional infusion is limited.

Hi there! I tend to slow simmer things for hours and have never had a problem with anything dripping off of it. I LOVE this thing. It is my favorite kitchen tool. :D

I forgot to do this once with mine and my juice yield was lower. The machine functioned normally, I noticed it because I am used to a consistent yield each time I juice.

Not really. That's what I bought it for but it makes more if a purée. Need to add a lot of water to get to a juice consistency.

Hi Lisa: We also had an old one that leaked like a sieve, but it was probably 50 years old, so that's what prompted me to buy a different one. This one, I do keep a little bowl on the floor in case it drips.........I have found it'll drip a small amount if I'm making 'V5', and my carrots aren't mushy enough. The strainer probably isn't made for that, but that food mill will go through anything. So, in answer to your question, I would say 'yes', but only a matter of a few drops........NOTHING like my previous mill, where most of the juice was on the floor. Hope this helps!
