How good does this remove the juice? (is the pulp dry?)

This juicer is wonderful as getting the most juice out of whatever you place into it. At most, I've seen only a few drops of liquid sneak out with the plump but in general the pulped is incredibly dry no matter what fruit or vegetable you place into the machine.

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

It does a better job than any other juicer I have tried. It works the best with veggies and fruits but I also use it to juice berries. Any soft fruits like mango and berries should be run through the juicer two or three times to get the maximum juice out. I save the soft fruit pulp and run it through at least 3 times as I have found this gets the best juice yield. I have seen other people use a hydrolic press to get the remaining juice out of the pulp if they don't want to run it through the juicer again.

for me leafy veggies come out really dry Fruit and veggies like cucumbers, not so much. That being said. I love mine. Just make sure to cut stuff up first

Pulp will come almost completely dry. Some fruits like blueberries you can pass the pulp 1 additional time through the juicer to get it completely dry.

It does a good job but since it is a slow juicer, if you want the pulp drier you can just dump it back into the chute. You do not need to have the pusher in the chute unless something needs dislodged. Fruits tend not to be as dry so I often put them back thru'. The biggest difference from other juicers is that the slow juicers do not make a "strained" juice. It's more like a smoothie in my opinion. I love it.

I've juiced greens, apples, grapes, melons (honeydew and cantaloupe, maybe watermelon), citrus, beets, sweet potatoes, jalapeno peppers (for a sauce), radishes, ginger, various herbs, etc. It does really well with all of that stuff, but with juicier stuff like melons and grapes you do tend to lose a little more liquid. I usually feed the pulp through the chute one more time if it feels wet. I've found that starting with something dryer like greens or carrots makes the juicier stuff juice a little cleaner. In any event, I highly recommend this item :-)

The pulp collects in a separate container than the juice. The juice is without pulp but yes it would be easy to put some back in.

The pulp comes out wet on first pass, moist on second, dry on third pass. Even though the wheat grass comes out wet still after first pass, a lot of juice has been extracted. I am extremely happy with this product. The juicer gets loose and needs to be tightened when too much pulp is put in the juicer at one time. I juice frequently.

Yes, however, I would say that would be about the max before having to remove the pulp, which is very easy. I can juice 2 very large grapefruits before having to remove the pulp.

We gave it to our daughter as a gift, but she used it before leaving and it worked great! She juiced fruit, veggies and wheat grass. Pulp came out dry and almost clear and juice goes out through another area.

not at all ! I was amazed how it extracted the juice at no effort at all. No waste and the juice tasted really good. Very different from my old juicer. The only con I have is that the cover keeps falling off the juicer because I always put it up on the shelf. It will be ideal if you just leave it on the counter. Hope your arm feels better.

I find it juices leafy greens quite well and kicks out the leftover veins as pulp in the waste bucket opposite the juice container side. Easy to keep clean, use a produce bag from the store to line the waste bucket side first and use a nylon bristle brush circularly on the metal mesh part and blades, and I hand dry those parts carefully. :)

This isn't going to work as a juicer because it is a blender and thus does not remove the pulp. If you wanted, I guess you could run the blended mixture through a strainer to remove pulp, but I prefer having the extra fiber in my smoothies because it's good for you!

It comes with a strainer that you use after juicing. It gets rid of all the pulp so the juice is smooth.

Good question. From what I have read I'd have to agree with Joe & Victor that more of the nutrients would be in the liquid & the nutrients are better absorbed from the liquid than the pulp. So, a better extractor (i.e. juicer) is more effective towards that goal.

No. A juicer is much different. Those will extract the pulp/fiber and leave a thin juice. Great for short term cleanses. Trendy too. I have one. It is gathering dust. I use the blender twice a day at least.

Am not sure exactly what you're looking for...but I learned quickly that the Vitamix is NOT a juicer. If you want all the pulp REMOVED and be left with a drinkable liquid, you need to get a juicer. But the Vitamix does a good job of grinding up hard fruits and vegetable to a pureed texture. You can add water or other liquids to end up with more of a "juice" consistency. That's been my experience!

I think it is, especially if you put a bag in the pulp collector. Also, I would clean the mesh right after juicing to be sure nothing starts to stick; a brush is included for that.

It's easy to clean right after use. Once it sits the pulp and residual juice dries and becomes sticky. I recommend placing a plastic grocery bag in part that catches the pulp. It makes clean up much easier.

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.

I am very pleased with this juicer, all that is left is the pulp and peelings.
