Has anyone ever used this to clean fruits and vegetables?

I have used it diluted to rinse off apples. This info is from Healthy Home Products, that sells Dr. Bronners "Believe it or not, Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap can also be used as fruit and vegetable wash. Mix a quarter teaspoon of it in a sink full of water. Wash residue in fruits and veggies off using the solution, then rinse well before cooking or refrigerating."

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 juicer does great with all kinds of fruits and veggies. We have had its for over 4 years now and have daily put everything in it from strawberries and watermelon to celery, cucumbers, kale and spinach. I have even made almonds milk with it. It juices carrots, sweet potatoes and bets with ease. I only suggest that if you do root veggies to cut them up thin to save wear and tear on the motor.

Yes, does an amazing job! I've used on frozen strawberries, peaches, etc. Just need to move blender in and up-and-down movement so you start blending top layer of fruit ... don't push down hard into all the frozen fruit at the bottom initially.

It is really for soft fruits and veges. I tried it on an orange and it will take the peelings off but only to the white underneath.It damages the fruit if you go any deeper. It is great for tomatoes and that is what I bought it for. I have used it on potatoes and cucumbers and it works good.

Yes it works very well for all vegetables, in containers or in a garden. Just follow the directions and you will be pleased with the results.

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.....

Sorry, I've never tried. Only used on tomatoes, apples, squash, and to make salsa.

it works great on soft cooked vegetables and fruit, a blender works better for cooked meats in broth

No I haven't. I've only used it for sauces and absolutely love it. It is so powerful though I would think it would work just fine.

It works great as a steamer for veggies. In fact it works great for just about everything we have used it for. The recipes in the enclosed recipe booklet are spot-on delicious. We use it a lot.

I'm sure UberChef answered your concern. So far, I've used it for zucchini and cucumber and it works great!

Hello Jennifer, I've used it on everything from tomatoes to kiwi fruit and vegetables. On oranges it doesn't do enough in a single pass so you will have to do it twice. Much easier to use a knife. An excellent peeler but be careful of your fingers as it is easy to cut a finger if you are a bit careles. If you are like me, you will only do that once though. Well worth owning one. I bought a few and handed them around to all my family members. Regards, Peter

Yes I use it all the time for what ever fresh fruit or vegetable that will fit in it. It works great. I have strawberry & cucumber bags which work super too!

We have had this attachment for at least 10 years - just love it. We do bushels of raw tomatoes into tomato puree and tomato juice to use as soup base. Yes - run the skins back through to get more pulp. We use an old toothbrush to clean the screen when we are done. I hand wash the metal parts. Keep checking your mixer for heat and give it a break when running through a lot of product.We also make applesauce (wash, quarter, core and cook the apples al dente), peach and apple butter and winter squash all the time with this.I have also purchased the large food tray and it saves a lot of time for feeding the machine and clean-up if you use the unit a lot.
