Guest guest Posted June 1, 2004 Report Share Posted June 1, 2004 Also, these don't heat up and usually cost around $230 for Champion, $235 for Solo Star, and $259 for Omega 8002 or 4000. The pulp is almost dry, so you know most of the juice is out of it. Mine leaves a very wet pulp.

Mine doesn't heat up but maybe I'm not juicing as much at one time. I just juice what I'm going to drink right away since the juice loses it's flavor quickly if I store it. I've had my Juiceman for 5 years and it works just as well as it did new. Best $70 I ever spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Here is Dr. Mercola's output on a good juicer. It is the same as I've read several different places, and if I remember right, it is what was telling us the last time someone asked. I notice in this article that he doesn't compare the Samson he was saying a couple of years ago was the best or the Solo Star by Green Star that has been out for a year or so. http://mercola.com/article/juicer.htm# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hey all of you juice-ologists out there, is a juice extractor such as the Green Star 1000 really all that much better than a centrifugal one? Isn't one still getting the vitamins, minerals and enzymes from the centrifugal one even if it's not rendering (per oz.) all the juice that a more costly one does? And assuming this is so, now that my centrifugal juicer is long paid for and I'm purchasing more vegetables per lb., isn't the bottom line that it would take me years of more vegetable purchases to equal what a new juicer would cost? Maybe some one is going to tell me that a juice extractor yields a higher and more valuable amt. of vitamins, minerals and enzymes per oz...and if this is so, I'd love to be referred to some reliable source which proves same. Open to enlightenment. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Hi! I have a Champion juicer, the commercial version (simply a larger motor), and am very pleased. The only thing that the Champion is not able to juice is wheatgrass, which the company specifically mentions. The only juicers that I have heard do wheatgrass justice are the twin gear or specific wheatgrass juicers. As far as the pulp issue goes, the instruction manual does state that the pulp, if still wet which can be the case especially the first few items you juice, can be re-juiced. I generally put the pulp through twice, and it comes out so dry that it is in flakes! By the way, I juice mainly greens and the only part of the plant that is left is the small amount of dry pulp, so all the juice is definitely extractable. I find the few parts very easy to clean, assemble, and re-assemble. Finally, I guess the noise level may also be personal- I can chat with my kids in the same room, I did not find it prohibitive. Champion has a great 10 year warranty, the company has been around for over a half century, and has easy to access replacement parts.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Bill, Love my Green Star. Easy to clean and you can make pasta from the pulp. Pulp is really dry. victor On 5/17/07 5:27 AM, " breathedeepnow " <aug20@...> wrote: In my opinion, the Green Star/Green Life juicer is the best juicer I have ever had, and is, if not THE best juicer available, certainly one of the best juicers available.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Hi All, Does anyone know if its true that the Greenstar juice can be stored longer than the others? Altho best when freshly juiced Ive heard that the juice will retain enzymes for a number of hours after preparation. I'm looking for a juicer where I could take juice to work to drink during the day. Thanks, KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 I have the Greenstar juicer. I did a lot of research before buying it. It is well-made and will last forever. I like the fact that it juices wheatgrass. It makes juice slower than the centrifuge types, but this is good as it does not heat up the juice and therefore enzymes are retained longer. Has something to do with magnets in the gears too. You will not go wrong in purchasing this one.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Green Power is better, I have one, but cancer has been cured with the Champion juicer.

Just get some nylon window screening. Double thickness of it. Put pulp it and start squeezing away. Want to really squeeze it dry- rig up a press with an automobile jack and two stainless steel baking pans. Or two stainless baking pans and put a concrete block on top of the pulp in the nylon bag.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I have had 4 different juicers, Juiceman $65, Champion $250, off brand and still have 3 of them. I just bought another one recently and it was the least expensive, $50 from Sam's Club and the best performing ie fastest, easiest to clean, less juice wasted. It is the Waring Juicerator. I had never heard of it, never seen one, just bought it on a lark while I was walking thru the store. It has been great for me.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I have a Champion juicer. And while it might not be the " best " , it will still do what you need. Yes, perhaps you might throw out " some " valuable stuff, but you'll just have to buy a tad more produce to make up for it. All the nutrition is still there in that glass. Let's not be too anal about this. We're definitely on the road to health with both machines.... Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 I love my Greenstar also! I believe you can keep the juice much longer than basket type juicers. We store the juice in mason jars (the 8oz size) and fill it to the top (to keep it from oxidizing) and put them in the freezer right after juicing for about 10 min. I think this helps lock in the enzymes and keeps the juice longer. Then they go into the fridge. When we do it this way the juice lasts sooo much longer. I can get away with 3-4 days worth (except for broccoli juice which is pretty rough after the first 48 hrs) I hope this helps! " Mireles " wrote: > I have the Greenstar juicer.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 That is an excellent idea about putting the juice into the freezer immediately after juicing, and it reminds me of the person from whom we occastionally buy raw goat milk. They chill the goat milk immediately after milking, because if they don't, it soon becomes " goaty, " even if refrigerated. But when they chill the milk down to at least 45 degrees immediately after milking, the milk will last 2-3 weeks in the refrigerator without turning " goaty. " I actually don't mind a mild " goaty " taste, buy my wife does. I never thought of chilling juice I want to keep in the freezer. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Thanks for the freezer to refrigerator tidbit! VERY good information. I learned from my raw milk farmer that he puts the fresh milk into ice before refrigerating, so the logic still applies. I just never put the two together...thank you so much!!

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I have had a Green Power Gold juicer for almost 5 years. I decided to purchase this juicer after my own research and the recommendation of a nutritionist I saw who worked with cancer patients and was friends with Ann Wigmore. Hippocrates also uses a Green Power juicer, so I can say without a doubt, between my own experience and the use of this juicer by many clinics and practitioners, that this is one of the best juicers on the market. Some say better than the Norwalk, which is very pricey, but considered to be the Cadillac of juicers. Remember that the most important aspect of juicing is extracting nutrients, live enzymes and trace minerals that your body can quickly assimilate. To do this you will need a triturating (twin gear) juicer that operates at a low speed. Juicers that operate at high speeds will " burn " the enzymes, so you will not obtain the same benefit. Also, the less pulp (fiber) the better, since many of the nutrients are locked in the fiber and cannot be digested in that form. A triturating juicer will strip the nutrients from the pulp, so that the body can absorb them.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Hi, . Some people may consider the Norwalk to be be " the cadillac " of juicers, but from my standpoint, the process of extracting the juice using the Norwalk was extraordinarily tedious. With the Norwalk, one first has to pulverize the vegetables or fruits, then fold a little of the pulp into a piece of porous cloth, then press the juice out of the cloth using the hydraulic press. No thanks. I would rather be able to make juice of a little less quality, but more quickly, using the Green Power/Green Star or whatever it's called today. By the way, I think that if one shops around, one can get a significantly better deal than the 600 dollars a member recently mentioned. Also, there is one other juicer, the quality of which is similar to the Green Power juicer, maybe better than a Green Power, but I can't begin to remember the name of it.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi Elliot, When I referred to the Norwalk as the " Cadillac " of juicers, I was referring only to the quality of the juice and how it is ranked by juicing experts. No doubt, that it is more complicated to operate and can place a strain on ones time and finances. That is why I prefer the Green Power or Green Life machines. They are more affordable, yet still produce the high quality juice necessary to assist the body in healing.
