How efficient is this juicer for hard and soft fruits and veggies? I've read mixed reviews about how wet the pulp is that comes outt

The pulp varies according to how wet the produce is when you juice it. I rinse mine right before and don't bother to dry it. The pulp is moist. I have no problem with that. I often use the pulp on salads. I do not juice pineapple, strawberries or oranges. They do not do well in most juicers. I use them for smoothies in a blender. The stainless basket makes this juicer the best choice for me. Another popular brand has a plastic basket which does not hold up. I also like the separate hopper so I do not have to stop and empty it.

I have had it for over one yearI don't use it every dayBut we have used it for virtually every fruit and vegetableI am sure there are better albeit more expensive juicers out thereBut for the money this was a good deal for usIf the pulp is too wet I just reprocess it

Here is what I can tell you. We used it for a 40 day juice diet for two people. Lots of different fruits and lots of different veggies. We thought it was good as far as the pulp moisture content. The clean up was easy and the machine worked well the whole time. We were happy with the purchase.

This juicer is excellent on anything that is "leafy". I have used it on kale, cabbage, spinach... it works very well. The pulp which comes out is very dry. You can always pass the pulp through the juicer one more time to get those extra drops. Hope this helps.

We love it. The pulp is very dry. It gets as much juice out of the produce as possible. We are quite pleased with it

Everyone has their own opinion about the best juicer all the way up to $1000. I bought this one to try out juicing and have been using it daily for several months. Once you figure out that it wants the veggies to be exactly 1 inch wide by 1/4 inch thick then you will get more juice using less vegetables, and it takes less time to cut them than it does to try and shove them through when too thick. I juice carrots, yams, beets, and when the right size it does an excellent job, especially for the price. You will know it's the right size when just the weight of the plastic pusher puts them through without having to force them through. Too small and they will zip through without juicing. You want lots of juice with dry pulp. It took me a few weeks to figure it out but I can use 1/3 the veggies now to get the same amount of juice. I love this juicer and when I wear it out I will buy another one, same make and model.

It juices greens just fine, this is where it excels. It works much better than centrifugal juicers where your greens will get caught up in the blade instead of getting juiced. So far I've tried wheatgrass, spinach, beet, celery, and carrot greens and all did great. Only a cold press juicer can do a decent job with greens.

It's not easy to answer this in definite terms like what is a lot or how wet it is, I hope my own opinion on the subject is helpful. I feel the waste is relatively dry, which to me means it is extracting as much liquid juice as it is capable from squeezing from the fruit/vegetable. I find the drier waste easier to clean up. As far as how much that depends so much on what is being "juiced" but when I look at what's left it seems to be about what I would expect considering the process it uses to extract the juice, in other words what is left is truly waste and not unprocessed juice, so I would call that relatively low waste.

Apples really need to be pressed to get the juice, they don't do good in a juicer. I use mine for tomatoes, and grapes, berries, more the soft fruits.

It really is not too bad. Much, Much easier than a Jack Lalanne power juicer. The big differences is: everything rinces AND you don't have to worry about getting cut.

It works great for what I use it for. I use it to mash and separate the skin from the insides of my rejuvelaced (wheat berries I have soaked for about 3 days)wheat berries. It will do any soft food (ie fruit, avocado, corn). Handle turns very easy. With fruit I find the first run through does not get all the juice out. So just run it through a second time. I bout this one about 3 months ago. This is the only hand juicer I have ever owned so I have nothing to compare it with. However, it suits me so far so I'll probably not buy another one.

That depends on the veggies you are using. I have used almost every veggie and fruit you can think of and haven't run into any issues, so it is really as fast as you can put the veggies in, it will crank out juice and pulp. The machine will also juice the pulp again from the first go around to get even more out of the remains!

I haven't used it for a large quantity of grapes but it seems to work fine when I toss in a few just for flavor when juicing other things. In general, though, "juicy" fruits tend to leave more juice behind in the pulp that gets discarded. Things like beets and carrots make juice and leave a pretty dry pulp. I think it's generally better to eat fruits and juice veggies. You get the fiber that way and there's no waste.

I didn't have any trouble juicing beats with it. However, I thought this juicer didn't do a great job of extracting juice, a lot of it ended up in the waste bin.

I think this is mainly a greens and wheat grass juicer. I've used it for mostly wheat grass that I've grown. It works grat for that. I've also used it to juice kale, spinach and other greens. Love it for that. I juice carrots, apples,beets,etc. In a masticating juicer.

I love my juicer. What a machine! I just brought in some key limes to try before answering your inquiry. I was able to juice them by pressing my palm over the limes. Not perfect like the oranges but works.

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