Common problems and fixes
Low juice yield
Feed produce slowly and in the right order — soft items after hard ones help push pulp through. Overfeeding floods the screen.
Juice is pulpy or foamy
That is normal to a degree. A fine strainer or a short rest lets foam settle.
Greens yield almost nothing
Greens need a masticating juicer or a bundle technique with a hard fruit to push them through.
Cleaning dread
Rinse parts immediately after juicing. Dried pulp on a fine screen is the hardest part to clean.

The winner is insideRepair or replace?
Repair when the problem is a single worn part, a cleaning issue or a settings mistake — most juicers problems are. Replace when the core structure, coating or motor is failing, when spare parts are unavailable, or when repair costs approach the price of a new unit. Safety faults — damaged cords, cracked housings, electrical smells — always mean stop using the item and replace it.
Frequently asked questions
Is fresh juice healthier than store-bought?
It has no added sugar and more fresh flavour, but it still concentrates fruit sugars and removes fibre.
Which type is better for greens?
Masticating, by a clear margin. Centrifugal juicers struggle with leaves.
How long does fresh juice keep?
Best drunk immediately. Refrigerated in a sealed container, a day at most before flavour fades.
