Can this juicer juice raw ginger efficiently?

Yes. Use the "hard fruit" setting on the Breville juicer. I put a small piece of raw ginger in my carrot, cucumber, celery juice every day and it's great. Of course, there isn't a great deal of juice in ginger, so don't expect a lot of juice, but what you do get is extremely potent.

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.

I have not tried it. But, I believe it would. However, because it is so fiberous, it might clog the filter. This juicer does great with carrots and celery.

I am going off of your last word... "efficiently". I normally juice my ginger in a Green Star machine. But for the sake of your question I went and juiced some ginger in the Breville. For small pieces I am not quite impressed, for a large chunk it does a decent job. Your question though asked for efficiency not decency...so I would say; no. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MESKYBYvsXQ The above video shows kind of how mine works and I recommend using this juicer. Now on a side note; I have a Vitamix and normally I throw a piece of ginger in my drink and blend it along with other things. Now it DOES juice ginger better than many others and I have owned a few. I pray this helped. Be blessed!

I have used ginger in recipes successfully but have not tried ginger by itself.

it actually is, I just juiced some kale the other day and I got more juice out of it then my old juicer. You can go look at instagram to see what I juiced from it since I had it. @getfitangie Hope you like the juicer! It's also easy to clean too.

YES! I load it with kale, carrots, beats, broccoli, cucumbers... Great juicer.

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.

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!

I had one. Hated it. Did a terrible job juicing even basic things like carrots or apples. You had to practically dice everything to get it in. I got rid of mine after two weeks and got a Jack Lalane power juicer. Works great. But it's not made for leafy things like kale or wheatgrass.

I absolutely love this juicer. I juice a lot of carrots, beets, and ginger and so far it has been great. It also has many uses besides regular juicing and it comes with a recipe manual.

With green leafy vegetable like kale and spinach, I have to roll a small handful and put it between two orange halves so it doesn't moves too fast through the blades. I do still think I get more juice from this juicer than other juicers that I have owned.

It, like almost all garlic presses, will squeeze much of the juice from ginger, but none actually cut up the extremely tough fibrous body of the ginger - a process that requires one to chop the fibrous body in order to get a truly chopped quality rather simply than a coin sized 'slug'...

This is an excellent juicer for that! It quickly juices fruits and veggies and I have made fantastic cookies and breads with the pulp! I have recommended this to quite a few people :)

Yes, it does. You don't want to apply much pressure like with a conventional juicer, you could jam it up if you did.

Yes, - I use mine to make drinks with apple, pineapple, kale, strawberries, spinach, bananas, etc for health drinks, but it is not a juicer, so don't know about raw carrots...cooked carrots, broccoli cooked potatoes - yes - made cream of broccoli. Will do ice, frozen berries, etc. alsoBob/CA

It will juice them, but they don't have much juice in them. It is better to use a blender for those.
1068858
Yes, definitely. It juices them perfectly fine. You just have to peel them first.

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.
