why does it dump my leafy greens

The leaves are thin and therefore they are hard to cut, try clumping in tight ball or wrapping leafy greens around another veggie/ keep steady pressure but don't force......here is a sight " juicing vegetables" or "drew canole" that you can subcribe to that gives recipies, tips, support, and healthy information on juicing......good luck

No, because I don't like it enough to use it more. It's not good for greens like the reviews say. If you have more money to spend, spend it on a better juicer.

It doesn't seem to be large enough to put leafy greens in it. I haven't tried to do that , but there is no reason it couldn't if the greens were very cold, almost frozen, and you only had a small amount.

It is a mechanical spinner, so you power it yourself. The picture doesn't show it, but the black center circle pops up, you push it down and it pops back up, this motion causes the interior basket to spin. As it spins the water on the salad greens is forced off the greens through the basket and into the clear outer container, it then collects at the bottom. The greens are dry in less than a minute. Just stop the spinner, take off the lid, remove the basket, pour off the water that is a the bottom of the outer bowl and you are done. Sometimes I do a second spin if I want my greens to be really dry. I believe this is the best product on the market, works extremely well and lasts and lasts. Enjoy it.

Mine go in the trash. Have never given their disposal a second thought, and I'm pretty darned green!

I have used it for baby carrots and it worked wonders!!!! Not sure about the other greens...

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 does not do greens well, I have to say. Everything else about it is great though, the steel makes it beautiful and sturdy.

I had another thought about this. I had nearly forgotten but when I first got mine, the two green cups were stuck together and I didn't realize it. It came out in drops and made a terrible mess with the grounds. I probably should have noticed that they were stuck together but well . . .

It makes everything green. Including your tongue n clothes if it spills on it. The taste is not strong but I enjoy greens.

No attachement that came with it and not good with any green leafy veggies it really just shreds them hardy any juice comes out... I returned it for the same reason and got an omega juicer instead

I have experienced my grounds to be quite soupy or watery when I go to dump them out. Not sure if it's normal, but it's been a bit messy. I try to let it drip out for as long as I can before cleaning the whole little coffee basket out under hot running water. Hope this helps.

Since we are using it to grow vegetables (greens) we have chosen not to stain it. We do not want to risk the stain leaching into our food.

Yes the tube of left over vegetable is normal. A good use for this may be for composting, or give to the dog. I put mine in garbage disposal.

Not real good, you could wrap it up with another veggie, or tie it in a knot, when I do items like kale and other leafy items I either roll them up or tie them in knots with themselves to give it bulk, or wrap it around some other veggie like a carrot or something with more substance.

I don't know because I keep adding refuse to it. If you can be more regimented than I am, try to only fill one side to capacity. I did not do that and have stuff cooking on both sides. After I turn it, there is room for more, so I keep on filling it. I'm in no hurry. I feel good that I'm not throwing leftover greens into the trash.

Nope. That's not normal. Mine is consistently green. It turns yellow for a minute or two when I have lots of air movements and it goes back to green after. I can tell the difference in cleanliness in the air for sure.
