I get too much foam from this juicer. Anyone figure out a solution to this? Or do they all make foam?

Dunno about "others". My issues, still unresolved (peeling paint, now in two spots) remain unresolved. I do double-filter my juice, though. And sometimes use a coffee filter if I am making juice for guests. Note: I live in a high-altitude area 4800'+. Wish I could be more helpful.

What kind of fruit or vegi are you trying to juice? I don't get foam on apples, kale, or carrots but do get some on pineapples, and pears. You might want to try different combination of fruits and vegi when you juice.

Place a sieve over the juice collector, although the foam is not bad at all, neither taste wise, nor health.If you use the sieve that comes with the juicer, you will get almost zero foam; in fact, I think it is too little foam when I use the factory sieve.

well, to start with, my Acme isn't your Acme!! My mother's machine was purchased in 1965 by the company called "Acme", your's is now owned by Waring, I believe; I don't sell juicers, but that's what I've heard!! If the pulp is wet then your blade needs to be sharpened OR you basket isn't spinning as fast as it needs to (it uses centrifugal force to take the shred and move the juice from the shred). This could be the nut not fully twisting down, or your holes in your basket could be clogging the juice from going out into the pour spout holder under the basket and not allow it to come out. I personally now own an auger Juicer by Samson (but i would suggest their competition Champion or another brand, as this one after 3 years is starting to have 'issues"), which is NOT a spinning juicer, but a cork screw type that grinds the fruit/veggies/meat/grain and releases the juice away from the fiber which is then dumped out.

I tried to juice an apple and it came out full of pulp so much that it resembled apple sauce over juice. I returned it. Mine might have been defective because I have no idea how anyone would use one like I had though.

My juicer is not even a year old and it is making awful noise and sounds like the plastic gears are going out. It worked just great at first. Now it stops if you try to juice a lemon. Expensive machine, does not hold up. We are always careful to limit how much we juice in a day (have grapefruit and orange trees) so it has never been overheated. Problems started after a total of about 8 gallons of juice.

is it perfect for greens? No. however with a little practice and trial and error i have been happy with the amount of juice i get. try rolling the kale or spinach up tight and running through with cucumber or zucchini.all said would not trade for any other juicer

I am no expert but did think of putting juice in mine. I personally couldn't see a problem with it although with milk ? suppose you could but would have shelf life issues and I think u would need to wash it out more.

I have no idea. I hated this unit as the pulp that was left over after juicing was soaking wet with nutrients and juice. I have got rid of this juicer and purchased a Norwalk. Sorry I didn't do that from the beginning. I had the Omega horizontal and after that got the Vert and hated both!

I can only compare it to my old Champion juicer, which was such a pain to operate with leafy greens.(the hole was too small and the leaves would make the plunger stick). So by comparison the Breville is AWESOME, I juiced some kale a few days ago and got a decent amount, the pulp was very dry. Have not tried other greens, but imagine it would be efficient.

I think it depends on whats used on how much foam there is because it varies. I happen to like the foam but thats just a personal preference. No theres no pitcher to separate. Also its still spraying from the crease between the machine and the catch container where as it didnt in the beginning. I cant figure out why so the bag i put in the catch container im now folding up over that crease to minimize the spray mess. and... the pulp is wetter than it was in the beginning. I just run it back through another time or two, i still get good juice but disappointed its only been a month and im already having issues. After the money spent, Im already thinking about my next juicer... :(

Mine seems to leak at the seam if I put too much in at once. Also, I do run the pulp through again once or twice. The veggies/fruits are too expensive not to try to get more juice out of it.

No and I've had mine for quite some time and use it quite regularly. This is the best juicer on the market by far, I wouldn't expect you to have that problem.

I don't find it any louder than my former juicer. No louder than the blender either. I believe there are some videos on YouTube that give a demonstration.

Hello. I have the same problem but it's a basic juicer not a fancy/expensive one that juices everything.

No this is not normal. Before it blew up it juiced very well for one or two days. Check and make sure you have it assembled correctly. If that doesnt work buy a different type of juicer. I do not recommend this juicer at all. I bought a Breville after returning this one and love it to this day.

Well every juicer will have a little foam that's called oxidation... However the faster it juices the more oxidation equals less nutrients .. which equals less storage time. I pretty much get no foam when juicing veggies And i get a little with like apples... Berry.. But none with oranges cucumbers . And yes i throw the whole thing n just chop it up. You should YouTube vids. I do not throw orange peels in it tho because i don't like the taste and it can do pineapple skin but you shouldn't consume that their really dirty lol n pesticides
