Question 1

can i do leafy greens? spinach, watercress or kale? 
Thanks everyone! Sounds like this is the machine for me :)

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Set speed to 3 for spinach, oranges (without peel), etc. Set speed to 5 for apples, carrots, pears,etc; this will allow the motor not only to run efficiently, but also last. The Cuisinart CJE has a motor rated @ 1000 watts, which is very powerful, however that doesn't warrant overloading it by pushing whole amounts of fruit through at once. I recommend slicing apples, pears, etc. in half at the very least, and your Cuisinart's 1000 watt motor will keep going. Use common sense, if motor bogs down due to large amount of whole apples. etc being forced down, then stop the machine, slice the fruit and put less in at a time. Do not force fruit and vegetables down, gently press down. When juicing greens such as spinach, to ensure that you are juicing it all without waste, put greens between apples or pears this will  get optimum results. Best of luck with your Cuisinart CJE - 1000...I love mine.  GOD Bless

Question 2

Can you juice wheatgrass with this juicer?

Accepted Answer

I have bought this juicer and it is wonderful.  Very powerful....can do whole apples and oranges without even blinking.  But I have read that to do wheatgrass you need a special juicer.  A wheatgrass juicer is more like a slow press.  It juices it very slowly to get all of the juice and not destroy the good stuff in it.  A wheatgrass juicer juices at about 100RPMs whereas these power juices are at about 1000RPMs.  It will miss half the juice, oxidize the good stuff in there and possible clog up the juicer.  http://ezinearticles.com/?Why-You-Need-A-Special-Wheatgrass-Juicer-To-Extract-Juice-From-Wheat-Grass&id=515538

Question 3

How easy is it to clean?

Accepted Answer

Once taken apart it takes 5-6 minutes to hand wash all the parts in your sink.  You can also rinse the parts and run them through the dishwasher, but I prefer to hand wash them.  Once you have done it about 100 times it gets pretty easy.

Question 4

Will this unit work with 220/240v power?  i know that the plug is us based and would need an adapter.  would i need a converter for use in peru?

Accepted Answer

The plug is not three pronged, only works with 110V as far as I know.
