Will it juice carrots and apples?

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 have used this juicer for many years and have gotten to like it. It juices well for certain fruit and vegetables and not for others. It also does not do well when the quantity is too much for it to handle. I judge it by the amount of residual inside the machine. 15 apples may be more than the machine can handle in one sitting. If you would empty the residual inside the machine a couple times, I have the feeling that may work.

You will want to cut some fruit like apples but yes the skin and seeds can be juiced.

Hi Barry. This juicer has worked amazing for me. I do peal citrus bc it would make the juice bitter so I don't have experience with that. I also peal watermelon and cantaloupe. I do not have to peal apples, carrots, kiwi, beets, and other fruits and vegetables. It even takes out all the seeds from strawberries which is great. Hope that helps.

Yes. Use the "hard fruit" setting on the Breville juicer. I put a small piece of raw ginger in my carrot, cucumber, celery juice every day and it's great. Of course, there isn't a great deal of juice in ginger, so don't expect a lot of juice, but what you do get is extremely potent.

I don't think so. Does carrot juice real well, pulp real dry, used it in carrot raisin cake. Love this juicer!

I had one. Hated it. Did a terrible job juicing even basic things like carrots or apples. You had to practically dice everything to get it in. I got rid of mine after two weeks and got a Jack Lalane power juicer. Works great. But it's not made for leafy things like kale or wheatgrass.

It really depends on the fruit/vegetable and the size of the glass. We have 12oz or 16oz glasses, and three to four average macintosh or granny smith apples, in general, will approximately fill that. Fruits/vegetables with more water content will require less than those with a denser fibre content, for instance carrots require a bit more as they contain more dry fibre than do apples. It also depends on the juicer as different machines are more or less efficient at extracting the juice from the fibre waste. This Breville unit is fairly efficient--one of the better non-industrial juicers I have used.

Maybe if you use the food mill as the top of a double boiler. Otherwise the apple juice would just go through the holes in the bottom of the food mill.

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.

yes it juices carrots and just about everything else including ginger just if you are going to juice celery as well do it last because of the celery structure it tends to block the strainer best juicer for the money

Yes it does. I have used it for recipes that call for romaine or iceberg lettuce as well. All have been juiced successfully. This is a fantastic device! I am discovering it's just a matter of finding what I like juiced as far as taste goes but all my juicing attempts have gone well.

I think it does a good job except with small raspberries.... But I also recommend using the pulp in cooking meat dishes like meat loaf or stuffed chicken breast etc. that way there is no waste period. I also recommend adding great flavored like freshineple to all my juices...I blend carrots and kale and pineapple and apples together frequently. The most powerful juicer I think is the ninja....but it I not quiet like the fusion....the fusion is also easy and quick to clean. :)

Most definitely! I have juiced about everything in this juicer. It does a particularly great job on greens compared to centrifugal juicers, but it will pulverize the juice out of just about everything.

Hi Charisse, I believe it can. I have not done it but my recommendation would be to cut the fruit (with skin on) into one inch pieces and feed it gradually to see. If it doesn't work, you can use the back button to remove the fruit from the small end of the auger. Let me know if it works without taxing the engine! :) (remember, I'm not a technician, just a fellow juicer like you, so follow your gut instinct!)

It will work on leafy greens with something heavy behind it, like a carrot or something other wise you'll have more green in the grinder. It will juice them though so far I'm satisfied with the product, expected a little bit more from it but it's OK. Only complaint frozen strawberries didn't work very well, there was juice but I had to take the machine apart and clean it. It's excellent for the price range though.
