Has anyone had a problem with the seeds and/or pulp escaping from the fruit holder into the water?

Hi Anthony! No, not one seed has escaped! I use it pretty much daily and is worth the cost. My one complaint is that the infused insert could be a bit wider. I have to cut my limes and lemons small in order for them to fit. Hope this helps! Suzanne

I have had no problems at all. I make sure to keep the bottom of the machine dry.

I use the fruit/nut dispenser for caraway seeds and it works well. The seeds are quite intact in the finished loaf. The seeds do tend to fall out of the little slots in the dispenser but lots still get into the loaf at the right time.

I've never had any issues. I throw it in my tote bag to bring to work or in my beach bag. I just make sure the lid is closed tightly.

Yes I've just checked and it's possible to remove the strainer. I've never juiced without the strainer so don't really know how it'll actually behave. You'll end up with a lot of seeds in the juice along with the pulp, I think. But removing the seeds shouldn't be too difficult, I suppose.

At the top where the water expulsion ports are, there is a plastic divider that moves back and forth, it can get stuck by leaves or debris. Move it back and forth with your finger a couple times and it will usually work fine after that...

There are holes in mine. Also, the tray doesn't really collect water because the water drains from around the tray due to the way it's constructed. However, it you have a heavy rain, and particularly if it's blowing, then that little roof isn't enough to keep the seed dry.

I don't recall having a problem with the rubber ring. My problem was with the juices getting behind the plastic lining of the base and not being able to clean it out.

I have used this product for about 5 years now. At the end of the bottle, I see some berries come out, I have never seen seeds. Usually at the end of the bottle there is little juice left, so I dump what is left inside.

I live in Missouri and I have it in a pot in my sunroom. Its gotten so big I dont move it in and out anymore. It stays indoors and is going crazy! Ive had it about 2.5 years and still no fruit. It shouldnt be too much longer, though!

I haven't, bought about five of these by now and never had a problem. I usually buy them at Costco but they were out of them when I needed a new one. Good luck!

I have not, and I have not had any problems thus far after quite a few months of use. No idea long term (yet). That said, I am an amateur cocktail maker and a professional with more knowledge on the matter might be able to provide a different view.

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.

I have not herd of this being done. Usually the fruit that is processed with the juicer/strainer is cooked until it is soft enough to run through it.

Yes, I did have some problems with fruit flies. So I used the old remedy of placing a small container next to the steel composter. Fill it with water, a little brown vinegar and a drop or two of dish detergent. The flies are attracted to the vinegar and cannot escape the detergent which breaks the water surface. They then drown.

The strainer catches the seeds and pulp. Some of the pulp does get through, which I absolutely love. Can't wait for the Valencia oranges to be ripe in Southern California. I love fresh orange juice!!

I have had maybe a few teaspoons of juice go into the water, but not any large amount. Is it possible you've got a bit of a tilt to the pan/cooking surface?
