Does this use the whole fruit or just the juice and the pulp/fiber gets thrown away?

It uses frozen fruit. You have to let the fruit thaw for about 15 minutes before putting it into the machine. It is easier if you peel and half the bananas and then freeze them. You can use frozen berries, pineapple chunks, melon, peaches, etc. Just be sure to freeze them for at least 24 hours, and then thaw for 15 minutes prior to use.

Hi Susan, about the fruit for the Yonanas. It is no way like a juicer. You only use the fruit that is fruit you would peel or could not eat the peel. If you put in an apple with the peel on it that would be okay but not a banana with the peel on it. It comes out like creamy ice cream as cold as the fruit is you put in, no juice comes out. Everything you put in comes out in your bowl so if you put in a fruit with seeds the seeds would come out in the frozen item but maybe ground up some. Hope this helps...Patsy H.

Fruit is used as you would naturally eat them. The bananas are frozen without the peel. Berries are frozen whole. Pineapple without the shell, etc

You just throw in the whole fruit and it all becomes part of the desert. You would want to peel peaches,mangos, etc and just use the frozen fruit.

It uses the whole, frozen fruit. Just be sure to remove inedables like apple seeds, cherry pits, and peel bananas and oranges before freezing. Due to the size of the chute, you want to cut larger fruit into slices before freezing.

Yes!!! Pulp is directed to another part of the machine so that the dispenser only dispenses juice. :)

Most juices come out smooth with little to no fiber. I juiced some pears today and there was fiber in it but they are really soft. The harder the vegetable the less the fiber. It comes with a screen for straining, but I rarely use it.

Yes, the juice is collected in the cup through a strainer lid. The pulp, skin, etc., is pushed out the front of the juicer. Although the strainer lid does a decent job, I still use a wire mesh strainer before I consume or store the juice.

I have successfully used it with sliced apples, pineapple chunks, orange slices, frozen or fresh berries and bananas - I almost always add milk, OJ or water, yogurt and ice. It blends all of that quite well. It is not a juice extractor and does not remove pulp. I have not used it with any vegetables.

A juicer takes all the pulp and fiber from your produce, where the Blendtec liquefies the produce. That leaves the good stuff, which I think is healthier.

Like most juicers, it does leave wet pulp behind in the canister/basket. However, this is one of the most powerful and best juicers I have used. The pulp is only a waste if you don't use it (ie. bake with it or throw it in a blender to make a smoothie)

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!

you will need to grind them up first. It will not do whole ones. But it works really good if will prep the items first. I have used it on berries, apples and other fruits. As long as i grind the apples first, it gets all the juice out.

All the solid matter is ejected out the side from my experience. However, I've only been using the fine juicing basket. The coarse basket looks like it might allow some pulp to get through.

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 :-)

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.

Run water through outside of basket and use hand to remove pulp from inside of basket immediately after use (although it would make this process a little easier, I don't use filters because I like a "meatier" bite in my juice). Then rinse and wipe all parts (basket, shredder, lid, etc.) with a scrubbing sponge and air dry before reassembling. Every week or so I put everything in the dishwasher for a cycle. Every six months or so I soak everything overnight in a sink of hot water with dishwasher detergent to remove calcium buildup that accumulates from fruits and vegetables.

Yes it does leave some pulp in it. During winter when I don't have oranges I buy juice and it doesn't have pulp. I think you will like it ok.

Eric: it does have pulp that goes out the juice side, but this is caught in the screen if you choose to use it (it fits on top of the juice catching container. The only draw back to that is you need to rinse it often so the juice can drip through it, but its very simple. I mostly juice spinach, haven't tried much other leafy greens yet. I'm new to juicing, but do really like this machine (its very quiet). I hope this helps you out.

It does eject little pulp for leafy greens. but it comes with a filter dish which filters out any pulp that comes into juice. There are some techniques to avoid pulp into juice, check youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/rawfoods?feature=watch for more information on choice of juicer. I used the same.

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.
