I've had a similar problem. However, I realized that i wasn't pushing the screwdrivers down far enough into the handles after use. That's the only time that I experienced an issue with the pliers getting caught or stuck on the screw drivers.

I have trouble with taking it apart also. The best way is to switch the orange sliding switch all the way to left to release the clear top. Take that off and grab a hold of the white section with they blade and lift and wiggle/ shake til it releases. It's a pain but for a cheaper small juicer not to bad. Hope that helps:-)

To close the blades there is a button on the base of the blade . To close the screwdrivers there is a button about 1 in down from the base of the blade and the pliers just fold back up. It will be alittle stiff when new but it will breakin

I want to add to my previous comment by saying my juicer with the red feet is the original model- I have had it for decades; it still works great. Sounds like the switch in manufacturers has altered the new model for the worse. Too bad.

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.

I just sold my new (4 Month old) Omega 8004; I also sold my Omega VERT 350. I will not experiment with anymore juicers, as IMO, there is no better juicer on the market than a Champion!

There is a small gap between the battery slide and the handle. I used a small screwdriver to push down just above the arrow in the gap. There is a small plastic hook there that slides up under the handle portion when closed and once it is pushed down you can slide it open. Hope this helps.

Yes, I'm finding it better made, heavier and the motor is a lot stronger, I'm not worried at all about it breaking. Thought I'd let you know, on ALL models not all the fruit goes through and there is quite of bit of waste left in the blades. I LOVE this though! Try freezing cubes of soy milk or coconut butter in ice cube trays to add to the fruit. I use a lot of vanilla and cinnamon too. Hope you enjoy it.

I would make sure that nut fully engages/sits on the lid properly when you slide it on the can. Also the first time it was a little ruff to get going as using it without a clamp style handle and the fact that it splits the lid open was a little weird to get used to; but it works fine for me and no problems turning it after that first can open, love it. When you turn it clock wise the splitter latches to the lid then counter clockwise unlocks the can opener. hope this helps sort it out, it really is a great can opener and can just take some getting used to. If not you might have gotten one that has a turning problem hope that isn't the case, if it is I'm sure they will exchange it.

I had the same problem and couldn't remember how to get the battery out. The unit separates at the point where the light gray meets the darker gray. Just pull hard enough at that point and the battery compartment will pull out. What probably happens is that it gets residue on the plastic or age just causes it to become more difficult due to not opening it frequently. If you pull hard enough, it will open. It is a single AAA battery that is needed.

I have had mine for 2 years and use it daily I never have had a problem I have heard others say that thy break. the only fix is to buy a new one and do not apply a lot of pressure unnecessarily. You can buy a commercial grade one but costs a lot more worth it . if you do a lot of juicing.

Mig, did the black plastic on the inner (not visible when closed) part of the crank/sharpener somehow become separated from the chrome handle? Mine are fused together, and the both pieces stay connected when I unlock the sharpener. I'm just trying to get a visual of what you're describing in case I can help.

The only problem I have ever had with the button is that if you extend the screwdriver while holding down the button (like he does in the show), you have to press very hard. Other than that, I have no problems with it! It has never gotten stuck for me, and even when you press it, it does not go far enough down to get stuck. It is a small button, but it's big enough to press. Also it is in great proportion to the rest of the screwdriver.Hope this helps!

the rear clamping jaw might be reversed. If oriented correctly, the jaw will close and hold something paper thin. If it is reversed, you just have to slide it off, flip it around and then you can close it tighter.

Yes it does and we have not found any fix for it. We even have the manufacture send us a new part but with same results. One suggestion for multiple juices: disassemble the unit to clean & remove debris from prior juicing. Reassemble.unit, snugly fitting the "trap door" and tightly sliding the piece underneath into place (I forgot the name). Sometimes I feel it "settle" into place but not always. I have less leakage now then when I first started using the juicer. (We make nine juices a day. if you plan on using it that much you make want a Norwalk. I have another I still use - Juiceman - and I'm satisfied with that for occasional juices.) Yes it does and we have not found any fix for it.

It's an adapter. On my Juice S2 you pop out the "silver" piece, put it over the leatherman's philips driver and plug the bits into the other end. The end the bits go in looks like one migt be able to try using it as a ring or hex shaped wrench/spanner in a pinch but I have never attempted to use it that way, I've only used it for the bits.

No and I've had mine for quite some time and use it quite regularly. This is the best juicer on the market by far, I wouldn't expect you to have that problem.
