How does this juicer perform when making nut milk compared to using a nut bag?

I have never made milk using a nutbag but I have used this juicer to make bean milk and nut milk and it worked pretty well, I was impressed. I need to try it the old fashioned way to see what the difference is though.

Never used a nut bag. We've made Almond Milk numerous times using the machine and it works well. Just need to soak Almonds overnight and don't use too much water. Follow the proportion of almonds to water they give you and it will come out fine.

It's been almost a year since I had this, I returned it cause it didn't work well. I don't really remember if I used it to make nut milk or not. I now use the blendtec and it does a wonderful job, but you do need to use the nut bag but that certainly isn't a biggie. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

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!

Hey Barbara, Let me tell you this...by far, this is the best juicer for the dollars...by far...I have owned many centrifugal type juicers...First to your question...Yes....this is more Froth with this juicer...but I do not believe this is much of a problem. The motor, is much more powerful than its competitors...like Jack lalanes juicer. If you refrigerate you vegetables and fruits...there will not be effected by the higher speed, and more power motor...just a little more froth. Here is why this juicer ROCKS. I owned the Jack lalane for many years...and it is definitely a very good juicer...However...it does have a few problems...1. The center plunger can Jam...It has a square side...so if you don't put it in correctly....it will get stuck...and then you have to hammer it out with a stick. The Omega's plunger has a guide and cannot jam 2. The motor on the Jack lalane can stall out if you put to much in at one time...it does not happen often...but it can jam...then you have to take the machine apart and clean it...to unjam...the Omega....never jams! 3. The jack lalane plastic on the lid and plunger...stains very easily...the Omega...does not stain...and seems to clean very easily...as if there is some special coating on the plastic...PLUS...the Omega has a stainless steel main bin..which really cleans easily.. ***All I can tell you..is that I am extremely happy with the Omega...there is never anything that is absolutely perfect..but this come close!

This juicer is definitely not quiet, but not overly loud either. I am very pleased with it's performance otherwise. It's very strong and has impressed me in it's ability to make sorbets out of frozen fruit and making nut butters. I hope this helps.

I use mine regularly for processing large batches of fish and have run it steady for hours with no problems. You just have to time it so you leave it sit for 20 seconds between bags, which is usually about as fast as you can go anyway. I have also burnt out several food saver specials but this one works well.

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.

Juicer is great for small fruits. We have a lime tree and I can juice 6 cups in minutes. Takes longer to cut the limes in half than to juice them. Hope this helps.

I have used it on every fruit and veggie including beets (don't do it) and I have learned that you need to rotate between soft and hard produce to help the machine along. Also, put a fine mesh strainer above the bowl that you are using to collect your juice to make your final product a bit smoother. Enjoy

It's takes just a couple minutes to strain the milk and you can squeeze as much or as little as u want. I let the milk run out on its own as much a possible before squeezing. If you want the absolute most out of your almonds, there is a fair amount of squeezing/ twisting, but nothing that's "excessive".

Obviously the ultimate choice is yours, I am very pleased with this juicer, previously I had doubts and wanted to go with a more expensive one, but I am happy to say that I am very pleased with its performance, the motor is a 700 w power, very powerful motor, easy cleanup, inexpensive... There are no negatives so far with the juicer.. I will recommend this to any one.. Good luck on juicing...

Fast enough. It's not like an extractor and takes time to thoroughly crush the produce but I can turn a half gallon of juice out in less than 30 minutes total time, including clean up.

I've taken it on several car trips. It's pretty light and fits nicely into an ordinary brown paper grocery bag, although it does help to have another pair of hands to keep the spout from catching on the bag's edge. The biggest challenge is keeping any juicer clean when you're traveling.

With the Tribest SW-2000-B Slow Star Juicer you use the mincing attachment to make nut butters. The mincing attachment uses the auger and not the screen. When you run nuts through the machine with the mincing attachment on, the nuts will come out almost powdery the first time through. You may want to run the nut ingredients through up to 5 times to get a creamy consistency. The more you run the nut mixture through, the creamery it gets. You also may want to add a little neutral tasting oil to you nut butter to increase the creaminess. Many commercial nut butters have added oil. The oil can be added when the nuts go through the machine or after you are done running the nuts through the machine. I hope this information helps you. VeggieSensations

It works great for what I use it for. I use it to mash and separate the skin from the insides of my rejuvelaced (wheat berries I have soaked for about 3 days)wheat berries. It will do any soft food (ie fruit, avocado, corn). Handle turns very easy. With fruit I find the first run through does not get all the juice out. So just run it through a second time. I bout this one about 3 months ago. This is the only hand juicer I have ever owned so I have nothing to compare it with. However, it suits me so far so I'll probably not buy another one.

It really is not too bad. Much, Much easier than a Jack Lalanne power juicer. The big differences is: everything rinces AND you don't have to worry about getting cut.

This juicer produces VERY little foam and does the entire fruit! It also comes with attachments so that you can grind meat, make nut butters and make homemade noodles and breadsticks! I always remove the pits from stone fruits before I juice so I can't say how well it would do with those... But, I can't imagine why you would make the effort to leave them in for juicing if its easier to leave them out.

Compared to other juicers (the centrifugal kind) it's SUPER quiet, but as far as small apartments go - it makes noise. The motor has a constant hum and as carrots or beets go through they will sometimes squeal. Again though, compared to the vacuum sound of the other kind, this is much less noise.
