When I'm juicing tougher things like carrots or apples the drum moves slightly, is this normal?

i have not noticed this. just be sure all components are properly attached and tightened. i am also not exactly sure what you mean by the term "drum".

Compared to other juicers (the centrifugal kind) it's SUPER quiet, but as far as small apartments go - it makes noise. The motor has a constant hum and as carrots or beets go through they will sometimes squeal. Again though, compared to the vacuum sound of the other kind, this is much less noise.

That has also happened to me at times. It's often a common problem with leafy greens. I simply also add another fruit or veggie along with the leafy green to capture as much of the green juice as possible; both will basically combine together if that makes sense. If you go the fruit route, try a small apple slice. If the veggie route, add perhaps a piece of celery. And remember: fruit and veggie slices should be cut very small to accommodate the juicer.

No this is not normal. Before it blew up it juiced very well for one or two days. Check and make sure you have it assembled correctly. If that doesnt work buy a different type of juicer. I do not recommend this juicer at all. I bought a Breville after returning this one and love it to this day.

U probably have to blend or grate those to press but not its not strong or big enuff to do hard produce

If you are using the low setting for less dense items, then you sometimes have to juice things like kale and spinach and collards twice. I sometimes mix the loss greens with more dense things or wrap them to be more efficient. i.e(Wrap the kale around apple peices or beets)

I wouldn't say 'trouble'. I figure it's part of the process when doing large amounts of juicing.

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

It doesn't lean much - When I take off a heavy pot it does move, but not a big deal at all.

I've never tried that. I see that someone else has done that and responded to you.I love it for juicing, especially because the vegetables go in so easily, usually without using the pusher. On my other juicer with a large opening, the carrots would bouncearound on the blade and they were hard to control. It would take a lot of effort topush them in. This one makes it so easy. The only improvement that I would makeis to design it so that it's easier to take off and put on the top part before and after cleaning.

Mine is the same way. Doesn't really affect the use but it can be a little annoying.

All the solid matter is ejected out the side from my experience. However, I've only been using the fine juicing basket. The coarse basket looks like it might allow some pulp to get through.

I have this problem but I'm afraid I haven't used the grater as of yet. As far as the other pieces go I have had no issues with it moving while in use.

Yes! I have the same thing. It moves just a bit side-to-side when grinding.

I usually don't get a bumping sound when my batter is thin. If I'm working with a stiff batter the machine doesn't bump and bang. My flex beater doesn't reach to the very bottomof the bowl and someone told me that I can adjust the depth of the beaters on themixer. I haven't attempted to do that but maybe your beater is reaching to far down into the bowl. If you use the regulare beater does that bump too?

I don't find it offensively loud, or louder than any other juicer, but it does make a bit of noise on high speed in particular.
