Green Star Tribest Greenstar GS-1000 Juicer, Standard, White

My wife and I have used this juicer every day for 1.5 months for juicing pretty much anything under the sun. We've juiced things as soft as ripe mango to things as hard as carrots. This juicer eats up everything.Cleaning all the internal parts can be a bit of a chore and no matter how careful you are, the white neoprene will stain from the juices. To me that isn't an issue since they can't be seen when the juicer is assembled but my wife doesn't like it. ;)The pulp comes out very dry so I know the juicer is getting every bit of juice out. My mom has a green star but the model below this one. She's had the same results as I have. She uses the pulp in her home made breads and sometimes in her soups.All in all, this is a great juicer and I'm confident we will get many years of service out if it.

This is the second one of these that I have owned. The first I had overseas, with the European plug, so I left it there with a friend. Twin gear juicers are by far the best for extracting all the goodness from fruits and veggies without the damaging heat. The only downside is cleanup, but these are fairly simple to break down and clean and well worth the effort for the best juice.

So I got my juicer for Xmas and it's been a learning journey with this machine. I did alot of research before purchasing this item. My concerns were "heat" while grinding up the veg's can cause killing some nutrients, easy to assemble, the amount of juice vs pulp, can it handle most veg?Quiet 1. my son has a Champion and couldn't believe mine was so quiet and as time goes on others who visit say the same.Heat 2. the grinders (if you will) blades move at a rhythm that is definitely not heating my veg'sPulp 3. there is so much pulp ! I am just getting juice and lots of it. AmazingEase 4. Of course at first it looked like I was building a machine but now I can put all together in minutes, the cleaning is pretty simple but one thing the filter is tough getting pulp out of especially with the scrubber that comes with the machine. I am looking for a hand scrubber now with stiffer bristles to clean this item. But not a biggyVeg? 5. OMG I put everything in this puppy. I did try Avocado don't do that too creamy! But broccoli, cauliflower, whole ginger, it loves Kale I will just put stem side down and it sucks it up. Apples, lemons, celery, carrots heck you name it I am trying !I really love this machine so far. Every other day I am using this so it is getting a work out. Best part I can see it on my face.... I am looking younger !!! My eyes are clearer, my body is really liking the mega veggies that I am feeding it.: )

I got this wanting the best. Which I believe it is. Only it requires strength and detailed cleaning after use. Although I would prefer a cold press juicer. I may need to go with an easier to operate and clean centrifuge system if I was 10-15 years younger and stronger would keep this

I wanted a juicer that would not break my budget along with not damaging the juice being made.This juicer has the twin gear juice extractor system.Absolutely the best juicer we have owned. Does not even compare to others we have had.This juicer also does all kinds of grains and butters, along with any veggie.I also wanted a juicer that would not take a few hours to clean and reassemble. This one is very easy to clean and put back together again, my children do it all the time. The only thing you have to remember is to line up the three dots to make sure it runs true, and you are ready to go again. Definitely a top of the line juicer with a competitive price.So if you are looking for an overall Premium juicer definitely give this one a chance.

The machine is not perfect obviously, and if you overload it or try to put soft fruit into it through the fine screen it will ooze pulp through the cracks of the gear housing, but when you run it properly and clean it properly this juicer works like a champ. It's not as fragile as I was afraid it would be and it has juiced 40 lb bags of carrots at a shot just taking a single break in the middle as recommended in the user's guide.I would recommend that if you plan to juice soft fruits like pineapple, to get a coarse screen (which doesn't come with the GS-1000). The fine screen backs up and while the blank works okay, you get all the pulp with the juice as well (which I don't mind but some people might not like that). For wheat grass and hard vegetables, this juicer is ideal with the fine screen.I have quite the opposite of buyer's remorse here, and I'm very glad I made this purchase. I've been able to make my own juices, saving money on store-bought juice and getting better quality juice as well since it's made fresh. I think in a few more months this juicer will have paid for itself.

This is my first juicer and I did a lot of research. All of my raw food books say Green Star is the best and I bought it mainly for that reason. I heard so many criticisms on the cleaning, but it is not that bad if you have a little tub of soapy water set aside and put the parts in right away. Also, I can tell that once I get the hang of it, assembly/parts are not that bad. The juice is yummy but a little foamy, although I don't care. I was a bit concerned that the remains that come out are still pretty moist. Not sure that matters. By the way, I juice kale, apple, ginger and lemons. The two things that really bothered me was the amount of time it takes to actually juice and the muscle it requires. I spend a LOT of time pushing the ingredients through, even after chopping them up. Pushing too hard with the tools worried me because I feel I'm shredding them a bit. I just visited a friend who had an Omega Vert and I now wish I bought that one. It readily accepted everything you fed it and the remains were really dry. I did not notice a difference in taste and there wasn't much foam if any. Being inexperienced, I don't really know the difference between twin gears and masticating. If there isn't a huge difference, I would go with the Omega Vert.
