When juicing...how long does it take to feed through enough veggies to make 1 glass of juice. Also, is there anyone who has had theirs for over 6 mo?

Once the veggies are washed and scrubbed, it takes around 1 or 2 minutes to make one 8 oz glass of juice. I had this juicer for a year or so and I didn't have one issue with it. Well it cost enough. .

We have had our angel a few months and really love it. To make one glass of juice, the act of washing and topping off carrots and other prepping far exceeds the time it takes to push the veggies through the machine. I'd say a full length carrot takes 3-5 seconds to push? Very fast and ultra dry pulp. The nutrients extracted from anything that goes through is remarkable, it differs radically from other juicers. If you have the means, get this juicer! With lesser juicers you are trashing or composting the unextracted juice you should have consumed. Over hundreds of uses imagine how many $$ that you save. Good luck on your decision! We have had our angel a few months and really love it.

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

I forgot to add something. If you are taking the juice to help you sleep, which is how I use it, the studies I read said to take 2 Tbsp in the morning AND 2 Tbsp at night. You can mix it with water or other things

I have an older vita-mix. I know there has been some debate between blending and juicing. I think juicing is the way to go. I rather have veggie juice than anything made in the vita-mix.

I haven't juiced beets yet but I've done it with carrots. It was totally fine. I don't know if juicing peaches or bananas would be a good idea though.

1 year, but returned mine for a refund after the 1st use. Motor overheats juicing more than 6 oranges at a time and has to cool about 20 min. before continuing. You would be so much better off with a Cuisinart Pulp Control Juicer - excellent machine, this one is cheap and not good for a family.

Juices everything. I make a juice that includes papaya, apples, pears, spinach, celery, parsley, kale, and cucumber. The opening is like 3 in so I have to cut some things down to fit but I but the whole thing -- skin, seeds, stems, etc. it has no problem. Fair warning -- keep an eye on the pulp shoot. Things like greens and skins will accumulate and can cause the juicer to clog up. However, I was making two pitchers of juice at the time. But I love it

I have timed myself and it is laborious. From the time I fill the sink in light soapy warm water to the time I finish brushing the metal juicing screen, the longest I have taken is 12 minutes, average 10 mins. The metal juicing screen takes up most of the time.

Mine lasted three months. I juiced daily and ran everything on high speed. You can't expect any juicer blade to last too long if you use it often. The only thing is that Breville sells this filter for less than HALF of the cost of this one on Amazon. That's nuts. I love my Breville juicer. Three to four months..expect that long for your blade/filter to last. Happy juicing everyone!

I bought a Vitamix many years ago (about 15?). I only lasted about 5 years, then fell apart. Honestly, I prefer the concept of getting the whole fruit/vegetable, but I would never buy another Vitamix again.

Leafy greens are tough. I do it almost every time I juice, but the yield is disappointing. If you roll the wheat grass into a tight ball you will get some juice, but not nearly as much as with a slow juicer.

I really love this juicer for fruit. I have never tried any veggies. sorry.

Yes, this machine works. It is a more pure form of getting nutrition than eating. Eating is great, but how many times to do you eat 5-7 raw vegatables every day or other day. Some people eat fruit and juice raw vegatables so they don't waste the fruit, and so they still get their nutrition from vegatables. PS. Cooking kills vegatables and fruit too. The vitamens die, that's why everything has to be raw, and that's why juicing, especially vegatables, works. Use the V-8 as a start. Do a V-5, or a V-6. It can't hurt.

Maybe use more water? I use mine daily. I steam 6 oz of just about any veggie for 3 minutes and they are perfect. Carrots might take a bit more.

Juicer is great for small fruits. We have a lime tree and I can juice 6 cups in minutes. Takes longer to cut the limes in half than to juice them. Hope this helps.

Well every juicer will have a little foam that's called oxidation... However the faster it juices the more oxidation equals less nutrients .. which equals less storage time. I pretty much get no foam when juicing veggies And i get a little with like apples... Berry.. But none with oranges cucumbers . And yes i throw the whole thing n just chop it up. You should YouTube vids. I do not throw orange peels in it tho because i don't like the taste and it can do pineapple skin but you shouldn't consume that their really dirty lol n pesticides
