Works great at juicing oranges, but have to cut them smaller than halves to fit the shoot.

I've done oranges and pineapples and you just have to cut into smaller pieces. It works fine.

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 :-)

I've juiced oranges just fine. The trick is to cut up everything into 1-1.5 inch pieces.

The Tribest Sw-2000-B SlowStar Juicer is great for any fruits and vegetables. Some will produce dryer pulp than others. You can always run any pulp that you feel is too wet through the machine a second time. The manufacturer says the only seeds that are too hard for the machine and may cause damage to the screen are pomegranate seeds. All other seeds will be crushed and ejected with the pulp. Happy Juicing. VeggieSensations

This is not a citrus juicer. It can handle an orange with other hard ingredients, but oranges by themselves will clog it up and make a huge mess. I have never juiced watermelon but cantaloupe is no problem.

I'm glad you asked! I've been using the juicer for five months now. It's a very nice juicer But it's more for an occasional juicing. And you do have to slice up the fruits and vegetables. Especially carrots and beets.

When I want to juice greens I core my apples and stuff the greens into them - that seems to work best for me in terms of getting the most juice out of my greens.

I put fruits like lemons, oranges, and apples in with the greens to add flavor. I do not bother to peel the skin off the oranges, or limes and I do not core the apples. I just cut the fruit into pieces small enough to fit in the feeder chute and it comes out great. The oranges and lemons can be overpowering if adding too many so you might want to experiment but the apples usually never are. I would also recommend adding beets because they add a nice flavor to some of the drinks. Another good thing you may want to look into are Chia Seeds because they help to speed a detox if that is what you are also going for.

Fruit smoothies are consistent and smooth. Have never tried veggies because I have a juicer.

This juicer works great on wheat grass. It produces very dry pulp. We find wheat grass is just too strong for us to drink. We juice kale at the end of juicing a Tablespoon of flax seed, a knuckle of ginger root, followed by apples, celery, beets tops and roots, and carrots. We separate the bitter and very dry kale pulp from all the rest of the fiber to compost. The apple and other fiber we add pomegranate juice to, along with Ceylon (real) cinnamon,a pinch of cloves and some chopped nuts. We mush this into a dough then roll into balls to make raw vegetable "cookies" which are awesome and supply the fiber which gut microbes need to create satisfaction for us in fullness. We drink and eat these raw vegitable cookies each morning and love it ,really love it. Sometime we put a fresh raspberry on top of each one, really better than tollhouse, we follow with about half cup of cooked little red bead with garlic, red onion, and a fewcooked mushrooms since the health benefits of these cooked plantfoods are tremendous for satiation, fighting cancer and longevity. A good site to visit for latest research is NutricianFacts.org(not dot com) Mr Greger at NutricianFacts provides all the lastest research in hundreds of 5 minute videos. We are attempting to grow baby broccoli greens to juice since the research shows they are at least 20 time higher in nutrients than bigger broccoli leaves for juicing,why eat only the flower and waste the leaves. Dr Joel Furhman,of Eat To Live, has also been very helpful in our quest for optimum wellbeing. The best to your health Rachel

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.

Yes! I love this juicer! I generally just put whole apples and carrots and what not in and it always does fine. Pretty large shoot. Of course, some fruits might be too big, like grapefruits and things like that, but I would definitely recommend this juicer!

It juices all of those items excellently. I juiced pineapple, greens, carrots and beet the other day. One of the videos about juicing I watched on YouTube recommended this juicer as the best for fruit. I have found that for best results, the trick is to alternate items when juicing.

Yes, and very well. I have juiced kale, and other leafy greens and it does great.

Yes. Just watch out for apple seeds. They're poisonous. No matter how you slice it (pun intended), you have to cut your fruits and veggies into sizable pieces to extract the juice. I barely use it these days though since I bought a nutribullet.

Yes, I usually add a whole apple (cut up in order to not include the seeds), a whole banana, spring mix, yogurt, nuts and pineapple juice. Tastes great. I like it better than juicing because the pulp is not extracted. I'm happy with the purchase.

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.

Yes and Yes. This is not a secret. It's a well known fact that this juicer ejects pulps into the juice (just google it). What's not clear and hard to define is the amount and the size of pulps because it depends on the greens. Also, the personal tolerance or preference to pulps is different. Some people claim that they like the pulps in their juices but that's kind of absurd. One of the important reasons that we make juices over blending is that it's pulp free, fiber free, and easily drinkable so that the body can absorb nutritions faster. I'd tell people that to make blending instead if they like pulps, which I do in the morning to get extra fibers. To make comparisons to other juicers that I have used, Breville and Omeage 8006 do not eject any pulps to the juice. If I may add, nothing tastes better than smooth, silky, fresh, delicious juices!

This juicer is excellent for carrots, apples, and other hard veggies and fruits. Spanich is better to mix with hard veggies when juicing or alternate. It's a great juicer. You will love it!!!

Yes, I really like it. We just did apples, the kids drank the juice almost faster than I could make it! We made apple sauce and fruit leather with the apples. I think it is the way to go for juicing and having apples to do something with after you get juice. Hope this helps. God Bless.
