Can I feed bananas and apples into this unit to get juice as well as kale ?

I never tried banana in the juicer, and probably wouldn't, there isn't much to juice in them. Apples you could juice it, as well as kale. It's not a very efficient juicer for apples though. I would mainly use it for leafy greens like kale. But IMO, I would get a motorized juicer if your budget allows for time, effort and efficiency!

I juice spinach and kale daily. I don't have the upgrade. They don't take more time to juice than anything else. I make a tall glass out of 5 fruits or vegetables in 5 minutes. Cleaning the machine takes about that long as well.

Yes, and very well. I have juiced kale, and other leafy greens and it does great.

Excellent! I take my Kale and spinach and role them up into a wad, if i have cilantro and role it up inside with the spinach and kale, and feed them on through, does great! I like and lot of greens in with my carrots. We feed the pulp to the rabbits in the desert.

Without a doubt. We use kale, parsley, spinach etc. Just have to put them in first in a bunch and follow up with an apple or another hard fruit or veggie.

No juicer will juice bananas great because bananas aren't mean to be juiced. Throw those in a blender and make a smoothie. Read a book man.

Yes you can! I have juiced thick kale, celery and many coarse veggies. Not wheat grass yet. In the book it says it works fine. I am not sure about the attachment. Make sure the inner core is well oiled. I use coconut oil so the rotating device with tiny teeth like blades rotate smoothly.

Yes, but if your greens are in a bunch, I would break or cut them in half first. This will make for less wear and tear on the juicer's motor.

All I have tried so far, like kale, is parsley and collard greens. It has a bit of a rough time with them, but, it does the task. I break up the greens with pieces of cucumber, which pushes all the greens through. Otherwise, I LOVE this juicer.

Yes, it can handle Kale, as well as anything else you'd want to juice. It's a wonderful juicer.

I have successfully used it with sliced apples, pineapple chunks, orange slices, frozen or fresh berries and bananas - I almost always add milk, OJ or water, yogurt and ice. It blends all of that quite well. It is not a juice extractor and does not remove pulp. I have not used it with any vegetables.

No, it only juices the fruits and veggies. You need a blender for that, some fruits like berries you can just throw in blender with the ice and whatever else.

Yes, I regularly juice carrots, apples, oranges,limes, kale,& ginger root, great am drink. I make a half gallon at a time, lasts 5 days fresh in the fridge. Kale is like spinach, ginger root is gnarlier than any other vegetable. I love this juicer. Heavy duty, industrial strength.

Although I have only used it to juice my apples this fall I do plan on using it for other fruits and vegetables. The instruction manual which comes with it does list tomatoes as one of the vegetables for juicing as well as many other fruits and veggies.

you should ask the mfg. I always core my fruit, so do not know for sure. would guess yes, but take a bit longer. be sure to use pulse mode to breakup. for all veggies I use a juicer and then put that mix into the blender as ice cubes.

A juicer extracts the fibrous material and leaves only the liquid parts of fruits and vegetables- this blender would chop the kale up very finely but I don't think you would be left with a liquid. Hope this helps!
