does it juice leafy greens

They make a special juicer for them or take the money you saved by purchasing this one of the best and least expensive spinning juicers and buy a vitamix or a nutribullet and liquify the greens in one of them and mix with your juice . That is what I do and I feel great for doing it .

We have used it for berries, larger sliced fruits and vegitables- not greens.

yes...what little juice they have.before buying a juicer,think about what you will do with all the left over pulp.

i don't think so, tho' I wouldn't be certain. Juice extractors are for hard things like carrots, apples, celery - beetroot (but what a mess!) - and grapes (delicious), etc.

It does - although you don't get much juice from them. I think that would be the case with all juicers.

I don't get much juice from Kale or parsley which are the only leafy greens I have tried. But I don't expect much juice since there isn't much juice in them.

I have never tried. When I have juiced greens though, it does leave a little more juice in the pulp. I just ran the pulp right through again...a few more times. The centrifugal juicers leave a much drier pulp, but then you have to stop and open the juicer to empty it when it gets full. But, I still like the convenience of the Champion much better. Even if you have to put the pulp through again, it still takes less time in the long run.

Hi Ruth,yes the champion juicer works very well also with vegetables! I make daily my carrot juice and it taste very good. Herbs and spinach, cabbage, broccoli is also good. You only get a little bit juice out of it, but the most important ones.Enjoy,Gabriele

I had one. Hated it. Did a terrible job juicing even basic things like carrots or apples. You had to practically dice everything to get it in. I got rid of mine after two weeks and got a Jack Lalane power juicer. Works great. But it's not made for leafy things like kale or wheatgrass.

It juices greens just fine, this is where it excels. It works much better than centrifugal juicers where your greens will get caught up in the blade instead of getting juiced. So far I've tried wheatgrass, spinach, beet, celery, and carrot greens and all did great. Only a cold press juicer can do a decent job with greens.

I am sorry I can only answer for the fruits and veggies I tried. I know it did not process greens at all. There was a lot of pulp left over from fruit with skins. I hope that helps.....

After researching a lot online, the Omega was the winner to me in what I discovered in reviews & videos concerning juicing greens and wheatgrass. That's what I was looking for in a juicer. I have juiced leafy greens with hard vegetables & hard fruits and it does very well, very, very minimal foam. I have not juiced wheatgrass yet.

This is great for greens! My boyfriend makes a green juice every day and we have has the same machine for over 2 years. He uses kale, spinach, lemon, cucumber, apple, celery and ginger.

I have not juiced wheatgrass with my Breville. When I did my research on it, I had read that it wouldn't juice any greens very well. I don't juice wheatgrass, but I do juice cilantro and all sorts of greens (kale, spinach, chard, etc.) I haven't had any problem with it what-so-ever. When I juice greens - particularly cilantro - I twist the bunch into a rope (sort of - make a tightly packed bunch) and I follow it with something firm - like an apple or carrots. Hope this helps.

To be honest, I don't know. I've only done wheatgrass in this. I'm thinking though that it would be ok for other leafy greens since it's the auger type of juicer. Good luck to you on that!

Yes, just make sure you mix the ingredients while you juice it. For example leafy greens - piece of cucumber - leafy greens and so on. This works great

With leafy greens it's tricky. I've juiced spinach and kale, but you have to roll it to make sure it does juice. And then you have to immediately after run a juicy fruit such as an apple, pear,a citrus fruit or any fruit or vegetable with a high volume of juice such as also cucumber and tomatoes to make sure you get all the juices from the greens that are left behind. I've never juiced lettuce our asparagus. However both of these vegetables are listed in the produce chart of fruits and vegetables ideal for juicing in the fusion juicer book. Hope this help.

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

Yes it does. I have used it for recipes that call for romaine or iceberg lettuce as well. All have been juiced successfully. This is a fantastic device! I am discovering it's just a matter of finding what I like juiced as far as taste goes but all my juicing attempts have gone well.

If you want to juice primarily wheat grass (or greens in general) this juicer isn't the best choice. Look at the omega 800x series (8003-8006).
