Wil this juicer juice kale efficiently ?

Yes, it does. To be honest, I'd never even heard of kale until I started juicing. But from everything I've read now, it juices as expected. I get about a tablespoon of juice per large kale leaf. When I do juice kale, I juice two large leafs. Again, from what I've read, that's plenty in a juice recipe.

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!

Yes it does. One problem with kale is that it flies through the holes above the waste bin. This is easily fixed by placing a moist washcloth over the top of the bin while juicing.

Yes, it does a good job with kale. I would recommend juicing kale before anything else so the screen is clean and you get the most juice from it. Anything leafy I would recommend cleaning it after juicing a decent amount as the screen gets little pieces stuck in it, but I think this is true of any juicer.

I have a masticating juicer. It is true it will get slightly more juice out of Kayle. The only problem with the masticating juicer is that it will not juice other vegetables and fruits. Also the masticating juicer is extremely difficult to clean and a lot more money. Personally I think juicing should be made as easy as possible. It's a lot of work to buy the fruits and vegetables wash them and then Juice them. I don't have time to operate and clean two machines. Unless you only want to use Kayle I would not buy masticating juicer.

I tried Kale the first day... it worked, but how efficiently I can't say, because it was the one and only time I did kale. I have read somewhere that the pulp is supposed to be fairly dry. There was some moisture left in the pulp, but not a great amount, so I would think it was pretty efficient.

It will get juice out. I do juice kale. Although My understanding is that the best for leaves is a masticating juicer.

Yes, just make sure you mix the ingredients while you juice it. For example leafy greens - piece of cucumber - leafy greens and so on. This works great

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.

Most definitely! I have juiced about everything in this juicer. It does a particularly great job on greens compared to centrifugal juicers, but it will pulverize the juice out of just about everything.

is it perfect for greens? No. however with a little practice and trial and error i have been happy with the amount of juice i get. try rolling the kale or spinach up tight and running through with cucumber or zucchini.all said would not trade for any other juicer

It juices all leafy veggies with ease..I juice spinach cilantro and swiss chard. to get the most juice out of them roll them in a tight ball then trow in the juicer.. :)

Leafy greens are juiced, but the quantity of juice is small. I like to bunch the kale so that the bunch meets the shredding blade. Otherwise, the kale parts break away without getting juiced.

I'm not sure but I didn't like this juicer at all --- and went with a Breville which is fantastic. I have not tried kale in the Breville but I can't imagine it woud have a problem.

This juicer is excellent on anything that is "leafy". I have used it on kale, cabbage, spinach... it works very well. The pulp which comes out is very dry. You can always pass the pulp through the juicer one more time to get those extra drops. Hope this helps.

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.

NOT efficient!!! I have to put the 'grounds' through twice more.....and get lots more juice. At the price, this machine should be much more efficient at getting all the juice out of the kale and everything else for that matter the first time around. For two large bunches of kale, I get MAYBE a quarter of a cup....by the time I've put them through twice more, I might have half a cup.....just doesn't seem right.

Yes, it does handle greens however, you will want to juice something a little less dense after. I do a handful of greens first and then add 3-4 celery stalks. Adding a juicy vegetable or fruit right after is the best way to extract the juice from the greens. Greens (normally kale or spinach) are always the base in very juice I make. This is an excellent juicer, great investment! It has a lot of power, juices almost anything easily. And it is very easy to clean.

It really depends on the type of food you are juicing. If you are not doing leafy greens, the Tribest may be better for you. It is faster than a horizontal auger juicer and adds versatility with its spout plug and its mincing attachment. To order please click on "See seller's offer" below.

Nope. This is for very small amounts only. In my opinion you would be better off getting an electric juicer.

No. I doubt it has the torque to juice anything with with a thick peel. The holes in the strainer are tiny. U prob would need something like the nutri-bullet for something that.

I would not recommend this for any green juices. I had a Green Power Twin Gear Juicer that was lost in our move and it was much better. It is ok for fruit juicing only - even with the Greens attatchment it is not as good as the Green Power.
