I paid less for the one I have but it heats up and the last time I used it,

it staerted getting sluggish.

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.

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.

Is that the 8002 or the 4000?

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.

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.

Bill,

Love my Green Star. Easy to clean and you can make pasta from the pulp. Pulp is

really dry.

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

[Guest guest]

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.

Green Power is better, I have one, but cancer has been cured with the Champion

juicer. Man behind the hallelujah diet did this---->>>

Champion's pulp can be squeezed dry. 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. Ten minutes and pulp will be bone dry

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.

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....

[Guest guest]

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!

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]

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]

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.

Blessings and best to you in the New Year,

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.

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.

Take care,
