How well does the VRT350 handle bananas

No juicer will juice bananas great because bananas aren't mean to be juiced. Throw those in a blender and make a smoothie. Read a book man.

About as good as any juicer... Not very well. Bananas, mangos, etc are better off in smoothies. They are too sticky/gummy to be juiced and don't contain much moisture anyway.

haven't used it with bananas but i think that the m.erb is probably right about being to thick would be better as a smoothie

I have. Make sure you do it in between bananas or it will all come out in a puff :)

That is a great question. This unit is perfect for picking up dry crumbs and debris however when it comes to wet food like bananas, avocados, etc. this may not be the best option as it could stick and become difficult to clean the sweeper after use.

Yes there is a metric version... And there is also a left hand and right handed model too! ...Also make sure the bananas you buy are all curved in the same direction, or you will have problems slicing the the wrong curved ones.

I am not sure, but it is very little output. One banana plus additional fruit and flavorings produce about 1/2 to 3/4's cup. Alot of the fruit gets stuck inside the machine and never comes out the spout.

You don't need one because you can only get off one sliced banana at a time. If this were a semi-automatic multi-fruit slicer, you'd need a permit.

I have grown the same species for several months outside in pots in the New Orleans area. I think that you may need to water it more often. Bananas need a lot of sun and moist, well drained soil. I hope that you have holes in the bottom of your pot. In the past, I grew Cavendish bananas. They grew faster but are less cold hardy. Good Luck!

It doesn't have a VCR built in, but it can definitely slice bananas. The only issue is you lose about an inch of banana at the slice because the edge is a bit dull compared to other banana slicing implements.

Sorry, I have no idea as I only used it 1 time. One of my friends swears by it and the rest of us that bought it tried putting bananas in the bag vs just putting them in the fridge. They looked the same to me, brown and ugly....so I never used it again.I would suggest turning it inside out and washing with warm soapy water, rinse well and air dry

I set it on white rice and it works great. Just be sure to use the right amount of water. For one serving I use either .25 or .33 cups, then 4 to 5 times that in water still using the dry measure. Add bananas or apples and top with cinnamon and granola, then cook. It comes out perfectly every time.

the only problem ive had with this juicer is that it doesnt handle pineapple very well. it does great with all other fruits and veggies (even leafy veggies). ive had it for 3 months and it works great. no problems with the attachments or with the motor. easy to clean. mine came with a 12 yr warranty so i feel pretty confident about it working in the future.

I use them along with the plastic screens. You will need them when drying anything that will dehydrate down to small pieces. I'm pretty sure bananas will dehydrate down quite a bit. I just used them for drying cherries. Came out just right. Yum! Hope this helps!

We cut ours in half or quarters and freeze them. I can say that we haven't had any problems with half frozen bananas. This blender has not disappointed yet.

I used it on my banana plant. It LOVED it. Don't know about that particular variety.

Be very concerned. My bananas did the same thing. I figured it would pass, but 2 days later the 897H human slicer arrived in the mail.

I haven't tried too I think it would be a lot of cleanup and much simpler to use maybe a blender. I really don't think this is the best tool for the job, I put a banana in it just spits out the back

I bought it specifically for Himalayan Blackberry canes (rampant and vicious). It does a wonderful job on both green and dried canes - skinny or fat, green or brown. I don't even worry about branching. If the branches can be bent in to fit through the fan shaped intake, they go through fine - leaves and all (I haven't tried it with berries, but it handles the occasional spider or small snail too).
