Date: July 31, 2008 02:13PM Ever forget to hook up the thing that catches the pulp from your juicer?
I wouldn't advise it. That is all. -DaveK Re: I learned how to make a big mess today!

Date: July 31, 2008 02:22PM You must have been in a hurry. I've made messes too. One time
I didn't put the top on my Blender because I thought I wouldn't need it.....Big Mistake.....WY Re: I learned how to make a big mess today!

Date: August 01, 2008 02:10AM Yeah, I did that before too. Luckily it was nearby and I only lost a little bit of juice. Not quite as messy as the pulp. I think i'll be cleaning little bits of orange pulp outta stuff for weeks! Re: I learned how to make a big mess today!

Date: August 02, 2008 09:00PM Hmm... I've only used a couple of manual juicers, but it sounds like some of the electric models eject the pulp with significant force! Re: I learned how to make a big mess today!

The models we're referring to have a high-speed spinning basket. You'd have to be a real Idiot to forget the pulp catcher for a slow manual.......WY P.S. I hope no one here has done that.

Date: August 13, 2008 05:37AM Ha! I saw this thread and had to post. A while back I turned on my VP3 blender without realizing the "HIGH" switch was still engaged. The container was almost half full of green smoothie and had no lid. A second later the container was nearly empty and I had green smoothie all over myself and the kitchen. I spent more than an hour cleaning and I still find dried green juice around the kitchen at times. Re: I learned how to make a big mess today!

The time I messed up, my High Switch wasn't up, but the variable Dial was on 5. Thank goodness we learn our lesson......WY Re: I learned how to make a big mess today!

Date: August 15, 2008 02:32AM Well, I have to post too, my blender blunder -
Turned it on when I first got it (manual still in box), got so frustrated that it wasn't blending, shoved the tamper down in without the cover on and obviously ruined the tamper. WY sent me a new one (forever grateful) and then I had another mishap. I plugged the blender in with the clear platic piece down in the container, along with the tamper, without realizing that it was in the "on" position. The blade started up and I lunged for the chord. I unplugged it with little to no damage done. Thank goodness. I would have been calling you up again WY!!! 
I have also thought "I don't need the cover on to just blend this up" and sure enough...total mess. Great way of putting it LaV, as always, about reflecting life's mess. Re: I learned how to make a big mess today!

What were you doing with 'stuff' in your Blender? I don't see how something wasn't damaged.....WY Re: I learned how to make a big mess today!

Date: August 16, 2008 01:18PM My husband would clean it and just put it on the base like that - instead of just putting it back together. Weird, I hadn't even thought of it. Anyway, the plastic piece for the cover just had a fairly deep scratch in it but not all the way through it. (eyes rolling) I now make sure that before I plug it in, there is nothing in the container AND that it is off!!! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
