**Juicer Summary of our (raw list) Comments**_revision 1

[Guest guest]

revision 1 with additional comments/corrections in italics. (yes, i'm a geek)

 

I've been following our juicing comments/opinions/issues, and this is a summary

based on what I could capture, please let me know if I have missed anything. I

have 4 topics: wheatgrass juicers, non wheatgrass juicers for veges, non

wheatgrass juicers for fruit and random comments. I am seeking a wheatgrass

juicer still, and looking to get a great wheatgrass plus more juicer for in laws

soon. My outstanding questions to the group will follow. Thanks to all.

 

Juicer Synopsis by Michele (please forgive me if I have misquoted you):

 

Wheatgrass Juicers:

 

perynoid likes BacktoBasics manual wheatgrass juicer for wheatgrass for just a

couple of ounces

 

Jeannie suggested samson <http://www.discountjuicers.com/samson.html> and also

http://www.sproutpeople.com/juicers/mj550.html

 

Jeannie gets too much foam with the green star

 

Brian Choi suggested Z-Star Manual Juicer for wheatgrass only

 

Eva H comment: I haven't done wheatgrass, but the Solostar is recommended for

wheatgrass. I have done spinach, parsley, and kale which maybe come close to

wheatgrass, and the Solostar II does an excellent job with these. By the way, it

is a low rpm with a single auger. Since the auger is longer than in any other

single auger machine it is supposed to do a much better job and produce drier

pulp and get more juice out. I don't have a comparison to other single auger

machines, but I am pleased with this one.

 

********************

 

No Wheatgrass Juicers for Veges:

 

Everyone loves the Champion

 

perynoid likes greenstar for leafy greens and carrott,but not for fruit , pain

to clean

 

Eva H likes Solostar II, even for leaves

 

Eva H said juiceman for veges was noisy and celery would get stuck

 

Valerie said Green Power, takes an hour to make 8oz of juice (too long) Valerie

correction, " it took my friends an hour to complete juice a 5 pound bag of

carrots; still too long for me! "

 

 

Valerie said juiceman or le equip " juice as fast as I can pick them up "

 

Valerie correction " Valerie said juiceman or le equip " juice as fast as I can

pick them up " I think this was John; I followed up with a comment that while

these were fast, they weren't as efficient since they ended up with less juice,

and more wet pulp. Also, I understand that the centrifugal juices added more air

to the juice, increasing their oxidation; that's why these especially don't do

well being made ahead of time. "

 

 

The original thread complaint of the Green Power taking too long to push

carrotts through (from John?)

 

*********************

 

Non-Wheatgrass Juicers for Fruit:

 

Everyone loves the Champion

 

perynoid likes samson auger for fruit, but not for leafy greens

 

Eva H likes Solostar II

 

Valerie OK with green power for soft fruit only

Random Notes:

 

Brian Choi suggested single auger juicer and this site:
