    We have the Breville juicer. It does sweet potatoes without any problem. It takes up an awful lot of counter space though.

    I ran out quick last night to grab this one at Walmart before the price disappeared and the 10 cm of snow fell.

    Salton VitaPro Low Speed Juicer | Walmart.ca

    It's got mostly very good reviews and is apparently almost identical to the Omega Vert which is way, way more money. But it wasn't very good on the sweet potato. It bogged right down, I was thinking the motor might even burn out. I had to stop and restart and reverse several times to get the sweet potato all through and then it was a pain to clean the SP out of the pulp chute. I cut the SP very small, much smaller than needed to get through the food chute and cutting sweet potato is hard.

    I guess I continue baking the sweet potatoes. That's not so bad 'cause I can stick Oban's Chinese medicine capsules into a slice of the baked stuff. They don't mix very well with most of the raw meats I bought. Plus the SP smells wonderful while it's baking.

    I would take it back but unfortunately the juice from the banana, orange, apple and pear was very, yummy, good and the OH wants to keep it. Maybe I can get him to make juice for us and do the clean up?

    Maxx&Emma, what a sweet () thing to volunteer, to buy a sweet potato just to test for me. But they are so incredibly hard it might wreck your machine. Really, no kidding, putting a sweet potato in is darn near like putting in a hunk of lumber. So, no, I think you'd better not. Thanks though.


    And no snow left on the ground this morning so there's another disappointment. I can ski on 10 cm.
