When it worked for a week or so yes but need to add some water. Nutibullet works great too also needs some water added. I liked the idea of more power with the bella but it did not last KIM202WOB MDT5N25A

I did. ...I did cut them up real small though.....1/4-3/8"....the machine turned them into absolute juice...no lumps or pulp

Yep you sure can! I've put all kinds of fruit & vegetables in there and it just chops them right up. The Bella is perfect for all kinds of smoothies.

My experience with carrots: I wanted/expected something drinkable but, even starting with carrot pieces/chunks (rather than entire carrots), got a paste instead (:-( so I had to add water to the paste and mix some more. Marketing material says "blending blade liquefies entire fruits and vegetables"; I say baloney.Also, the clear tumbler became ever-so-lightly stained (carrot orange, of course), which even warm soapy water wash didn't fully clean. I suppose it's possible a dishwasher would do a better job than this dudewasher (;-) but IMHO it should fully clean up with basic hand washing, if not just a good rinse.

I haven't tried it on Zucchini yet but yes the carrots came out nice and long. I would not cut the top of the carrot until I use it (just to have some way to hold them) unless their tips are better. I haven't read their tips yet, but again despite all that the carrots came out fine.

Carrots were no problem, but I wouldn't go beyond. Actually, I wouldn't bother buying at all. I broke mine on a butternut squash rendering it useless.

I've never tried carrots BUT it can turn raw ice cubes into fine snow so I'd have to say yes! It's a great powerful blender.

I put a raw carrot in my smoothies sometimes. It's best to cut it into slices first. Use the "whole juice" button.

Yes you can. The charring rod only activates when you are smoking. Otherwise the main element gets hot, and cooks like any other pressure cooker.

I blend baby carrots with apples and works very well, you just have to make sure you water up to the max line on side of glass...........

I have only used the small baby carrots. Yes, I would not put an entire carrot in, I would cut them up in 1 inch pieces. I love this chopper.

I wrap the parsley tightly and place in shoot to blend with two other thicker vegetables, like carrots, apples or celery. It juices better than by itself.

Yes, I have done kale, carrot smoothies and they were great! You just have to put it on the highest blend option and leave it for a solid minute :) Also, make sure you break up the ice a bit before blending to save the motor. You do that by using the "stir" button a few times before blending.

Yes. It's not great for carrots unless they are some really big carrots. It's awesome for onions and bigger veggies like zucchini or cucumber.

I guess it can. But the carrots must be short and fat. I wouldn't use it for that. We peeled potatoes and apples. It works great for apples.

Hi, While our slicer has only had to deal with garlic, the chef says that ginger should not be a problem. One may get thick or thin slices by the pressure applied to the item being sliced. With the extremely sharp cutter blade, most any food substance up to a shallot, or similar, should be fair game. When asked about carrots, no. Things likely to become gummy were also a no-no.

The carrots would be fine enough for me for a carrot cake. And soooo easy! This is the only way to go when it comes to shredding carrots!

I have I just cut it down into smaller pieces to fit the opening and it takes a little more cranking but works great for carrots

I've used it with fresh banana and steamed carrot and it works ok but does not last as long as frozen.

In the strict sense, no. Juicers extract the juice (water) from the plants. The vitamix blends the plants into a smooth concoction. You do need to add juice or water to do this but would be amazed at how little. If your goal is to create the healthiest and tastiest drink than go with the vitamix and make a smoothie. You will read that he advantage of smoothies is fiber, but that is not completely true. Think about how much of the vitamins, anti-oxidants that are left in the plant itself after you extract out the water/juice. Especially in non-juicy plants like; spinach, kale, carrots, etc... Plus you can throw in healthy juice, protein power, Metamucil, etc... into the vitamix and it will blend it all into a very smooth drink. But if a smoothie is not your idea of a meal and you just want a healthy juice to go with your meal/breakfast than I would go with a juicer, not the vitamix. It blends extremely well but does not extract. Hope that helps.
