If it's with other fruits or vegetables in alternating textures (one soft, one hard) and in small quantities, it goes down without a hitch. If you put 2cm of root in the mouth, it's all good. On the other hand, I've never tried juicing only ginger or only turmeric.

This thing is rubbish. Maybe it's because we had to use the intermediate clutch with our old Kenwood, but the power transmission is very unsatisfactory. Hard vegetables are almost impossible to press.
