Do you have the diamond vortex? Mine does all of this and makes great smoothies and juicing

YOu can use the juice from the juicer to add to smoothies which I have done. But mostly I use it as a juicer only

It's better than a juicer, it blends everything. I put vegetables and fruit and it blends them with ease...

No offence intended but this is one of the weirdest questions I've ever seen. Have you ever seen an average juicer? lol. Picture a blender with lots of attachments. Then, you need to take it all apart and clean it. It's doable, but cumbersome. I'd rather do my juice at home, put it in Mason jars and drink it within three hours. Just my opinion.

Plug in a lamp or other electrical source to be sure that you have power first... if power is available, check off/on switch make sure to switch on... some believe that plugging the unit in should start the juicer believe it or not... so be sure to use the off/on switch... if all else fails, try another outlet... if the motor hums but not juice, make sure that there are no obstruction in the juicer feeder... if non of the last, then yes I would return the unit... I have this juicer and am pleased with how it works and results of juice... My only gripe is that it takes some time to prepare the vegetables and clean the unit for a glass of juice but is well worth it... enjoy

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!

Thanks Jennifer. I mainly use it for making smoothies, but I tried blending just water and it made that noise. I emailed Breville customer support, and they're going to ship me a new blender pending "inspection" of the old one. I don't know what they could hope to find during the inspection - I just purchased it a month ago!

Unless Vitamix makes a juicer, a Vitamix is a blender. I have one. Love it, but it's a blender. Mac-daddy of all blenders! Awesome. But it is not a juicer. I juice, then add the juice to some whole fruit, kale, whatever then into the Vitamix and make the best smoothies on earth.

I would not recommend this for any green juices. I had a Green Power Twin Gear Juicer that was lost in our move and it was much better. It is ok for fruit juicing only - even with the Greens attatchment it is not as good as the Green Power.

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

Sounds like you have either an old blender or a commercial blender. I would take the blender to an authorized dealer and see if they can match up to your needs. Our item is inexpensive but I don't want you to buy it if it does not work for you.

I'm sorry, do not know the answer to that. I don't use it that way, only for my smoothies, fruits and spinach or kale and whatever I toss in. But I do not use it as a juicer.

By juicer, if you mean "Does it extract juice from produce, and separate out the pulp and fiber?" then, the answer is no. It does not extract juice. It is a high-power, high-speed blender. It pulverizes the fruit (or veggies) and creates a smooth puree (or very juicy smooth puree depending on how juicy your produce is). I guess you can do as jonkitvn suggested and filter the pulp and fiber out, but why would you want to do that? The Vitamix makes the best tasting blended fruits and veggie smoothies/beverages. I guess it depends on what you want to do. If you are looking to do something like make juice from wheat grass (or spinach, kale, etc.) then you probably need a juicer. If you use the Vitamix, then you just add the wheat grass (or spinach, kale, etc.) to the blender with liquids (i.e., water) and/or fruit and blend it together, eating the whole plant food. Hope that helps.

It does not make juice, it makes very smooth pulp. We use carrots daily as part of our smoothie blend. We like the smoothie rather than juice as it has the full complement of vitamins and minerals. A juicer will throw off the pulp.

To be honest, and I LOVE my Breville, if you are looking to extract all the juice in greens, you would be better with a "green juicer", which presses the greens to extract the juice. The centrifugal force juicers really don't work well with wheat grass and greens. OR you can juice your fruits and veggies, and place the greens in a Vitamix and then add them with the pulp!!

A blender only blends all content , witch creates pulp , but this juicer separates the fiber from the juice. So in one bin, you get the solid content and in the other you get pure smooth juice

Good luck...I returned this piece of junk and finally got a Vitamix! If you are into blending hearty veggies like those (as I am), then you should invest in a Vitamix or Blendtec. You won't regret it! :)
