can you juice oranges and grapefruit with the peels? can you juice bananas if you cut them up? does this handle all vegetables well?

You can juice oranges & grapefruit with the peels using the Big Boss, but it's best not to because it will make your juice taste just like the peel. You can however, juice lemons & limes with the peel on. No on juicing bananas and avocados, but it will make nut milk. It has handled all of the vegetables I've used, carrots, sweet potatoes, beet roots, greens, etc.

This is actually 3 questions. 1st question: Yes, you could juice oranges or grapefruits with the peels BUT ONLY if they grown certified organic and are washed well beforehand. Depending on the fruit it might introduce a slight bitter taste.2nd question: You cannot juice a banana, all you can do is mashed it.3rd question: this handles most vegetables however I have not tried it on leafy vegetables.

I have juiced citrus along with greens, other fruit and veggies in various combinations and mostly with the small hole screen, but I have not juiced just citrus. I would think that it would be fine and that the large hole screen would produce pulpier juice.

The BJE820XL Juice Fountain Duo can process the peels of most fruits and vegetables, it is not recommended that citrus peels/skins/rinds be processed through the juicer. The pith on the inside of them can be bitter and alter the taste of the fruit. As well these can be very fibrous and can clog up the filter basket mesh and dull the blades of the filter basket over time.

for home use not bad, I have my own grapefruit trees and I burnt out the gears when doing a bushel of late in the season fruit. Fruit needs to be ripe and juicey. If the fruit is too firm or dry the gears will not last with any heavy pressure pushing on the fruit. Just doing a coupe of glasses each day or a quart the machine is OK.

I haven't used it for grapefruit, but it's a GREAT juicer and I think it'd work well for grapefruit. You'd just probably have to rotate the rind and press the sides a little more, but again, I love this juicer.

Grapefruit and oranges, yes! However, the "cone" core is probably too large for smaller fruit and would result in tearing the flesh. That said, the resulting juice would still be fine.

It's better than a juicer, it blends everything. I put vegetables and fruit and it blends them with ease...

I would not suggest you do this with any juicer as the taste of the rind/peel will transfer into the juice. I even like to peel the white parts from my oranges and grapefruit off so that the juice does not have that bitter taste.

Absolutely. I suspect that the juicer would have no problem with the peels but they would probably add unwanted flavors. I regularly add peeled lemons to my juices. No problem.

Yes. I cannot emphasize this enough. Yes, you must peel any fruit or vegetable that has a thick or very waxy skin, as it will clog and possibly break the juicer. Oranges, grapefruit, bananas, clementines, etc. all fit into this category.

Alpine CuisineIt is well made and has worked for us to juice lemons, limes and oranges. Have not tried grapefruit.

Yes, I've juiced oranges and pineapples, and I know my friend has done grapes. Not sure about pears though, but I don't see why not? Might be a bit pulpier due to their grainy texture, but should work!

Juicer is great for small fruits. We have a lime tree and I can juice 6 cups in minutes. Takes longer to cut the limes in half than to juice them. Hope this helps.

I think it does a good job except with small raspberries.... But I also recommend using the pulp in cooking meat dishes like meat loaf or stuffed chicken breast etc. that way there is no waste period. I also recommend adding great flavored like freshineple to all my juices...I blend carrots and kale and pineapple and apples together frequently. The most powerful juicer I think is the ninja....but it I not quiet like the fusion....the fusion is also easy and quick to clean. :)
