Does this product work well on leafy veggies?

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.

Yes it can work very well with big and long vegetables. there's no container holding the vegs and it actually works better if the veg is thicker.

I've just used it on potatoes and carrots, but there isn't any reason it shouldn't work on softer vegetables like cucumbers.

I haven't tried it on Beets yet. It worked great on daikon radish, carrots and cucumbers.

Yes, it works well for leaves and clippings but it does get very heavy when the grass/leaves are wet. My husband likes it and we have a huge yard so he can do it in three passes without having to empty the bag. It is a good investment!

I have juiced kale, spinach and cucumbers, it works fine with these veggies. I am sure it will work with broccoli and cauliflower, the blades are small and works well.

I love this product; however, I would not use directly on vegetable plants. It is much safer to use around the plants than a weed killer like roundup, but you will need to be sure not to get any on your veggies.

I made spinach juice with mine. I would think it would work just as well for any green leafy veggie.

I haven't tried it on hard vegetables and can't give you an honest answer. Works great on tomatoes!

Yes, and yes! It worked fantastic in my raised beds, my collard greens were being destroyed and this worked instantly. Just diluted w/water in a spray bottle.

I am sorry to say that I have not tried any leafy greens in mine. I have tried fruits and other veggies and have not found anything this blender cannot handle. I would have no problem trying it if that means anything. If you try it, please write a review so I know.

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

yes this works well for most fruits. For harder veggies i steam longer but it still mashes very well. I recommend it.

Hi, I have used this on all sizes of leaves with no problem. Just be sure to feed larger leaves slower so they don't jam up!! Really works great

Not sure about kale or chard but it does a nice job on fresh baby spinach leaves with stems.

The unit works well with beets and cabbage. What I found was that any fibrous veggie I'm using, I cut across the fiber length, leaving shorter fibers. Short fibers tend to not clog the pulp chute as easily. Ginger root, definitely needs to be cut small and across the fiber!.Bottom line though, unless you're looking for a pulp machine instead of a juice machine, this unit is best on the market. It takes more juice out the veggies than any other machine I've used or seen used.

should have no issues. i went through kale and some other leafy things and it worked like a champ
