My brand new juicer leaks on the sides at the seams and the pulp container also has a lot of juice mixed in. Is this normal?

David, my suggestion is return it and ask for a refund. Mine worked for half a glass of juice and then there was more juice on my walls and ceilings than my glass. So please return it, ask for your money back and buy another brand.

Mine seems to leak at the seam if I put too much in at once. Also, I do run the pulp through again once or twice. The veggies/fruits are too expensive not to try to get more juice out of it.

No this is not normal. Before it blew up it juiced very well for one or two days. Check and make sure you have it assembled correctly. If that doesnt work buy a different type of juicer. I do not recommend this juicer at all. I bought a Breville after returning this one and love it to this day.

My Big Boss already gave out. It only lasted about 4 or 5 months. I never overloaded it or did anything at all that you weren't supposed to. The motor just made noise, then stopped. It never really worked that well. It was easy to clean, but way too much waste. Spend the extra few dollars for a screw type one. You get more out of them and you can do more with them.

This juicer makes a huge mess. To be honest I used it once and put it in the box. It's sitting in my garage.

I use a produce bag and place it inside the waste bowl. As soon as I'm done juicing I wash everything. Use the brush to clean the screen and let it dry. If the screen still has stuff in it after dries - re-clean. Have been very satisfied with the juicer; Gary H.

If you check the champion website it says that this problem is due to cutter hole needing to be cleaned or lack of lubrication. This shouldn't happen, I would make sure the cutter is clean and the shaft is clean, makes sure I'm not juicing to slowly to heat up the juicer or using vegetables like grass that are causing too much heat and then if your still having problems get a new cutter.

Hi Eleanor D. I love my Waring juicer. The pulp stays inside, and it's really dry!!! No pulp in the juice though. :)

I've had this happen a couple of times when I run the pulp through a second time (I do this a lot) or when I've run the machine a little too long (my family drinks a lot of juice). I'm not sure if it's the combination of pulp overload and juice leaking under the bowl creating a suction, but the only way I've been able to get the bowl off was continual flushing with warm water. I have a big glass pitcher that I normally use for the juice side. I pour as much water as I can while the juicer is running: flush it through, repeat, wiggle the bowl, repeat ... I would also suggest calling Nutriteam. Although I forgot to ask about this particular problem, I've found them to be very helpful.

The juicer only has 3 parts that get dirty during juicing - and the pulp comes right out once dismantled - it is super easy to wash. Like the previous answer, I never even use the dishwasher and do it by hand

My first one leaked like yours. I threw it away and bought a new one. The new one has not leaked I would say return it!

Not at all....The juice in one side and the pulp all goes to the other side. The pulp and everything else left over will be in the overflow container, not completely dry but not wet either. I do recommend to follow the instructions and put a plastic bag on the inside of the container, makes clean up easier. I'm sure that you can use the pulp for other cooking like pies but I'm not so inclined and only go for the juice.

Hey Meghan,some of the pulp goes into the top but not much. I do not stop and clean while I am juicing I have emptied the external collector and just continued with the juicing process..I only clean up when I am done juicing for the week.Sherrie

If the juice is pulpy, you might need to take the same amount of care as with any spout, but otherwise it should be fine.

there is a basket in the center for the pulp. If you're not going to use it much, this juicer would be a fine beginner. But if you're serious about juicing, i would not recommend this one, 1, because the pulp container is in the middle and you have to take the juicer apart in order to empty the pulp bin.

We've been using the Omega for quite some time now and NO issues with pulp. It did come with a screen to put on top of the cups as you're juicing, which may help with any pulp issues.

I just cleaned it and used it. I did put cheese cloth init to help keep all the sediment and pulp from squeezing out.

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?

I have used the juicer about 50 times with never a malfunction. However if you overfill it, juice will get down into the motor.
