Re: Re: juice fast---Cleaning Green Life Juicer is easy.

[Guest guest]

I have the Green Star, which is apparently the same as Green Life but

the newer model. It has SS grinding augers. I guess that and the talk

of infrared/magnets to keep the juice from deteriorating helped me buy

it. I'm somewhat sorry when I read about the Samson/ Lex-something

juicers that have an attachment available to make flaxseed oil. But

they have a plastic type auger, I forget the exact material. I do find

the cleaning a chore and don't use it as much as I should as a result.

It is also a little difficult to feed things into it, as the 2 turning

augurs have to grab hold, and the pulp must make its way through the

grooves in the augers and little 1/2 " hole in the pulp outlet. Mine

has a little plug in the pulp outlet that can be screwed in tighter to

make less pulp go into the juice. But if you want more pulp you could

just put some back in the juice. The Vitamix that will make juice by

pulverizing the fruit or veggies and leaves the pulp in apparently has

the disadvantage of causing enough heat in the process to damage the

enzymes, which is what you are juicing for. The Green Star/Life is

supposed to be the best for preserving them.
