does this have the "Complete Juicing" feature? as it shows in the infomercial (or is this a different model?) and if so how smooth/thin is the liquid?

since the blender tend to crush things into very small piece, the final result liquid is pretty rich, a bit too rich to be called "juice". it's not suitable for making juice because it doesnt have a filter to extract the juice from the fruit pulp. You might want to do it yourself but the juice will still be a bit grainy.

Nope which was a disappointment. It can make a great smoothie though. When I tried to juice added coconut water it came out like a smoothie vs juice.

Thanks for asking. I do also have a Vitamix so I think I can speak with some experience. I had Vitamix for about a year before I go the Omega. Vitamix is perfect for daily smoothies as it can pretty much grind up anything. With the Vitamix you get 100% of the fiber with the drink. This is excellent for getting plenty of greens etc. With any juicer, you do not get the fiber, only the liquid and the nutrients. The claim to fame for the juicing is that the nutrients are immediately available to the body without any digestion - excellent for those that are fasting, ill, aged or compromised health-wise. I feel the input of straight nutrients almost immediately upon drinking a glass of fresh juice. I use the juicer most often when I am dieting, cleansing or recovering from any sickness. I use the Vitamix daily. If I had to choose only one, it would be the Vitamix but I love having both. Hope this helps. Happy Holidays.

I don't think the blades and revolutions for blending are high enough to consider my Magic Bullet model a 'juicer.' Having said that, I don't personally use my Magic Bullet as a juicer but I think Magic Bullet does make a juicing model.

It is better than a juicer. It uses the whole fruit or vegetable and gives all the fiber, vitamins and minerals available. I retired my juicer once the Blendtec came into my home.

As others have mentioned the softer stuff does not juice "as well" as juicers designed for the softer stuff. But they do juice decently. I you are really worried about quantity of juice then a centrifical juicer works slightly better, but the quality is better with this one. Depends if you want quantity over quality or vice versa. This is an excellent juicer.

Hi Diane, I wouldn't say it has the capabilities of a juicer because they are two totally different kind of machines designed to do different functions. That said I love my blender. It's very powerful and very quite compared to others. I can blend green drinks with very little chunks left over if any at all. It kind of depends how long you blend for. Usually a minute or two is sufficient for my needs. Hope this helps.

No - It is strictly a juice. If you are really interested in juicing then this is your unit. If you want blended fun drinks then get a blender like Vita Mix.

I have both. I just replaced my 1995 Vitamix with a new model that has preset programs for smoothies, soups and frozen treats. I LOVE my vitamix, which btw has a 7 year warranty with the option of upgrade, and is definately the better machine healthwise and if you want more than straight juicing. I cannot imagine what the previous poster did to the Vitamix that it fell apart. It is a workhorse!" However, if you are just juicing, having owned several juicers the Brevelle is the best! Pros and Cons summary: VITAMIX - variety, "Whole" juicer, easy cleanup, built to last. BREVELLE JUICER - Smooth juice with less pulp left over than other Juicers, so much to clean up I rarely use it.

Using a juicer removes all the pulp, which is fiber and what you need! Healthiest option is to eat the whole food... use the vitamix with water and drink your veggies! I had a big juicer sitting on my counter, a pain to take apart and clean, cleaning out the pulp container... save pulp to add to other things, but wait, why don't I just add all I want to my blender... so my juicer is put away waiting for my Vita Mix to replace that and my blender. Just trying to decide on which model I will get...think this is the one!

Yes, it does. Mine hasn't jammed on me (yet), but the feature is there. If anything make sure the rubber seal at the fiber exit port is properly positioned, and you shouldn't have an issue with jamming. Been juicing with fruits and veggies since I got it several months ago.

Breville has a BJS600XL Fountain Crush Masticating Slow Juicer that appears to have good reviews. I don't know how easy to clean it is, that's a big factor for me along with quality of the juice. I've read different reviews on ease of cleaning. All I can say is I do know I love the Kuvings!! :) Hope this helped at least a little.

If you are looking for a "juicer" that removes the pulp - this is definitely not it. However, it puree's better than any blender on the market. The ninja does great with making great "snow" style ice, but it leaves unappealing chunks on basic juices. The Blendtec also does an excellent job - but you have less control over the speed. We use our vitamix for tons of things - even wheatgrass added to our fruit/veg juice! It is the best for making hummus. My knowledge on the other 2 blenders is experience from friends & family that use it for the same purposes I do. They are all going to get the vitamix too.

This juicer is excellent at maximizing juice extraction and leaving behind no solids. For people with intentions of juice fasting, no solids in the juice is important as your body detoxifies best when there is NOTHING I'm your stomach not even tiny bits of pulp. If you are supplementing a solid-foods diet, then a blender would be fine

I think that a lot of people think there's a drastic difference between a smoothie and juice in terms of texture. The reason the "juice" is so thin is because it has NO fiber, NO pulp, NO nutritional value. You can put in more water in your smoothie to thin it out. But if you want a juicer, buy a juicer. IMHO, you will waste TONS of money. I had a juicer, not only did I waste money because of all of the pulp and fiber that wasn't in my drink, but I wasted time from the extended clean up.

it actually is, I just juiced some kale the other day and I got more juice out of it then my old juicer. You can go look at instagram to see what I juiced from it since I had it. @getfitangie Hope you like the juicer! It's also easy to clean too.

Hi The question is how does it compare to the CHAMPION, You need to say what you are trying to compare it to. The Champion Juicer is the best all around juicer period. I will start with carrots, If you look at about any juice book recipe most of the them have carrots in the mix, carrots have a lot of nutrition and healing. I will tell you the Champion will juice carrots with the best of them. Also the Champion will juice any kind of fruit, fresh or frozen. A lot of juicers won't do frozen very well, A Champion Juicer will juice leafy greens. Also the Champion Juicer has a grain mill attachment to make your own flour. I guess what I'am trying to say is a CHAMPION will do anything. The other juicer will leave a stringy pulp in it that you might not like, The Champion will leave pulp to but it masticates it a lot more so its real smooth. I will say this that the other juicer will not make fruit sorbet very good, It does not masticate it very well. When it comes time to clean your juicer the CHAMPION wins by far. The one thing you should be able to tell right away is look at the screen, Its a square screen with a little curve, Three inches by two inches, take a scrub brush and it cleans real easy, the other juicer has a round screen and are harder to clean. I hope this will help you, if you lived close to me I would ask you over and I would show you how easy the CHAMPION is to use and how good of a job it does. JUDITH if you would like to call me I think I could answer your questions a lot better. Go through the customer question process and leave your phone number or email, I live in Indiana. jim

This is still a blender as opposed to a juicer. You would still have to add water to help with the blending process, but overall you would likely end up with carrot juice-albeit diluted a bit by the water. I consistently use the 3HP to make smoothies that are pretty much all liquid.
