Unfortunately for you, this is not a salsa maker. You need a food processor for salsa.

I don't think you can make it work that way. The juice is forced through the screen to the outside the screen cyclinder where it falls to the outside ring to the juice spout. The pulp falls through the center of the screen cylinder to it's own spout. It's designed to sperate the pulp, not include it. Maybe you can mix some of the expelled pulp with the juice? BTW as a vegetable juicer, I think it works great.

I tend to agree with the other users, I think it may just need to be cleaned out in the middle of juicing if you are doing that many apples. I also always make mine right before I drink it so I only make enough for myself. If you are doing heavy duty juicing, your best bet might be a higher end juicer that can handle the load

It leaves alittle bit of pulp in the juice. Not much though. Yes, you should be able to add some pulp to the juice from the pulp catcher.

You should be able to place the peppercorn under the battery mechanism. Did you take the place piece off of the bottom? That needs to be taken off when you want to use it or nothing will come out...Let me know please

This is a great Salsa Maker. I do recommend doing the tomatoes by hand though if you want it super chunky.My way of doing Salsa.5 roma tomatoes cored1 bunch of green onions1/4 cup of cilantro with no stems1 jalapeno (boil to soften first), stems removedSalt to tasteFor the tomatoes, 3 of them I cut in half and place in the food processor, the other two I chop to my liking and set aside.The onions I rough cut (I use the whole thing minus the roots) and place in the processor.Then add everything else minus the tomatoes that I set aside and pulse till I get the consistency I like. I then put everything in a bowl with the tomatoes I set aside. Perfect every time This is a great Salsa Maker.

let the juicer run a little longer -- depending upon what you are juicing, if you have soft and hard product, end with the hardest product. This should push out the greatest amount --- If you are doing softer fruits/vegetables, you will have a little left over-- best to 'play around with what you are pushing through. DON"T GIVE UP! :)

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.

no manual..just mix up your juices or yogurt, whatever and freeze! i found them kind of awkward and gave them away! you might want to look into the yonanas machine...you can do sooo much more. orjust freeze your mix in a small paper cup.

If you want actual juice extract...where the pulp is separated from the juice and you are left with only juice..no, it doesn't do that, as all fruits and vegetables are chopped in the same container. However, it is blends very finely, so that you can drink it without noticing any pulp; ,but it's not the pure juice that a juicer makes. However, if you just want to make sure it can turn veggies into something drinkable...yes, it does that. I have a Vitamix and I am very impressed how well this compares to the Vitamix. Had I bought this first, I wouldn't have bought the Vitamix. I bought this as something I could travel with.

The only thing that comes out is the juice. Sometimes I run all the pulp and scraps back through again. You will be disappointed if you like pulp.

well, to start with, my Acme isn't your Acme!! My mother's machine was purchased in 1965 by the company called "Acme", your's is now owned by Waring, I believe; I don't sell juicers, but that's what I've heard!! If the pulp is wet then your blade needs to be sharpened OR you basket isn't spinning as fast as it needs to (it uses centrifugal force to take the shred and move the juice from the shred). This could be the nut not fully twisting down, or your holes in your basket could be clogging the juice from going out into the pour spout holder under the basket and not allow it to come out. I personally now own an auger Juicer by Samson (but i would suggest their competition Champion or another brand, as this one after 3 years is starting to have 'issues"), which is NOT a spinning juicer, but a cork screw type that grinds the fruit/veggies/meat/grain and releases the juice away from the fiber which is then dumped out.

It extracts the pulp. for me, that much waste is bothersome. I drink a morning protein smoothie, so I make sure to trim the vegetables before juicing. That way I can take the leftover pulp (ie fiber) and add it to my smoothies. It's already broken down so it mixes in very easily. Also, I add it to soups, spaghetti sauce, etc. I've stored it in the fridge and the freezer. I'm very happy with this juicer. I'd love one of the high end ones, but I don't want to pay that much money. This juicer is a good price, it's easy to use, very easy and quick clean up, and I would recommend the purchase.

That's easy. Just take 1 paper towel add a little water squeeze out. Then just wipe out ,then get another dry paper towel wipe out the small wetness. Ta Dah it's cleaned. You can't submerge anything that plugs in to the wall outlet. Everybody knows that. I hope this helps Mihaya. I NEVER use soap or vinegar cause it messes with the flavor of the next thing I might want to grind. I've ground up sugar in the raw to make it powdery.

Not so well, there is pulp in everything. I juice with a heavy-duty screen and then juice the juice with the original screen and there is still pulp.

It won't make juice like apple juice. It makes smoothies and it can also chop stuff up like veggies for salsa. You won't be able to make traditional juice from it though. Hope that helps.

I just used Swiss Chard today. You have to roll up the leafy greens and "sandwich" them between something like apples or cut the apple in half - top & bottom - put the green leafies between the halves....caution DO NOT force through the greens... let the juicer do its job. Otherwise, the motor will seize and you'll have to open it up and back out everything in the chute and start over with what's left. Oh, and there is NO PULP in the juice...all that goes into the pulp collector (As an extra: put a clean bag [biodegradables are available for this purpose] in the pulp collector and save the veggie pulp for soups & savory dishes and the fruit pulp for baked goods!)

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
