How well does it extract the pits for making cherry juice?

It works well when it's working. Sad to say when it gets a little age on it, then it will break via the main drive from the motor to the grinder and it is not repairable. For what it costs the most important part of the machine is cheaply made and won't stand the test of time. I'll never get another one and I'll never recommend that anyone get one either.

I didn't notice any issues when juicing cherries. The pits didn't clog the blades and it was easy to do.

Don't try to juice cherries with the pits. You will most likely damage the juicer extractor. There are limits to this juicer. It prefers soft materials, not hard pits.

I honestly have never attempted to juice cherries in the juicer. However; based on the performance I have seen,The machine's filtration process doesn't allow any pulp, skin, seeds,or roots into your juice. It all goes into the container in the back of the juicer. Id be willing to bet that this machine would take a bunch of cherries and give you a "pit-less" product.

I think it depends on the cherries. If you are pitting Queen Anne cherries for a pie, they are too small. I believe it would work on Bing Cherries but I fear it would tear the skin. The point sharp end are meant to prick the flesh of the fruit, dig in and remove the core of the stawberry. Although I generally eschew single use tools, this one is so perfect that it should be in the drawer. Besides we all have a zester and it only does the one thing.

Does not liquify vegetables to the extent an extractor juicer would since the pulp/fiber is still there. I blended 3 bell peppers after seeding them with no liquid added and it finely chopped them. Added few carrots and it finely chopped. Added apple after coring and the juice from the apple made it into a pure. To this added cup of apple juice and this made it into a tasty healthy slurpee. In answer to your question, you can process vegetables in the Ninja to make consistency to drink (also chopping, etc according to amount of pulsing you do). If you want the liquid only, you will need the extractor type such as a Hurom that gives you only the liquid and spits out the pulp.

I didn't have any trouble juicing beats with it. However, I thought this juicer didn't do a great job of extracting juice, a lot of it ended up in the waste bin.

It will work on leafy greens with something heavy behind it, like a carrot or something other wise you'll have more green in the grinder. It will juice them though so far I'm satisfied with the product, expected a little bit more from it but it's OK. Only complaint frozen strawberries didn't work very well, there was juice but I had to take the machine apart and clean it. It's excellent for the price range though.

I used this on sweet cherries and it left the pit attached about 1 out of 20 cherries, then tried it on my sour cherries which are quite a bit smaller, it left the pit attached in about 19 out of 20 cherries, it got to be such a pain I did the rest of the 4 gallons I had by hand. When the third sour cherry tree was ripe I pulled it out and tried it again, these cherries are a bit bigger then the other trees and it did do better leaving the pit attached in about 5 out of 20 cherries.

I have used this for pureed fruit pops as well as other flavors of popsicles and it has always worked beautifully. I have never used just plain fruit juice.

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.

I've had the most luck juicing carrots with this juicer. The pulp that comes out is very fine and isn't wet when you squeeze it. It is kind of shocking how many you have to put in to get a decent amount of juice though. I don't juice often just because it is so expensive for all that produce but I love garden fresh juicing when I don't feel like going through all the steps to preserve large quantities. Hope this helps :)

I truly would recommend getting a juicer with an external pulp collector. this one has to be cleaned out too much. as far as Mea I tomatoes don't know. but kiwi and soft stuff splatter in plus collection area. Not much juice produced.

Don't know the answer to that. All I know is that the juice that I bought has zero additives so it's just the juice of the fruit. i do know that the pits are poison that is probably why they don't sell the fruit. It is vey tasty and quite sweet.

It does a good job. I usually juice the apples and then blend it in the blender with kale and other greens. I've had no problems with it

We are very happy with this item. You still have to be careful I found a couple of pits in the cherries we did but overall it worked quite well.

It worked real good for the smaller oranges but it didn't squeeze the outer edge of the larger oranges. So you lose quite a bit of juice. The diameter of the lower "cone" where the orange sits is 4.375". the upper "cup" which squeezes the fruit is 3.75 so there is 5/8" ring of fruit that doesn't get squished into juice. Other than that it works good, better than the electric juicers.

Works great! I just tried it with a key lime (half slice dimensions: 1 1/4" diameter & 3/4" depth). All the juice squeezed out well & effortlessly.

Feed the plunger up from the bottom, then attach the spring (from the top) and finally screw on the black handle. When finished dont forget to slide the red rubber guide into the slot. Without the red rubber guide the cherry pits will not separate from the cherry. It works great but not 100 percent. You may still find a few pits left.

I've only tried it with Bings. And with those I had to go over each cherry, as some pits were not removed. Good luck.
