Powerful and versatile tool for good health
2 of 2 found this helpful eBay is pretty off-putting with all their rules after enticing buyers to leave feedback. Look for John with Discount Juicers on YouTube. He explains many things this juicer does well and the things it does not do so well. I chose "yes" on the 3 questions eBay mindlessly posed about ease of use, cleaning, and speed but John will explain this to put it into perspective. He will also explain why the fastest and easiest juicers are not the best. We have had a wide range of juicers from the very efficient and expensive Norwalk to the cheap and fast Juiceman and the hand-crank wheat grass juicer.
In my opinion, the Green Star is the ultimate combination of versatility, ease of use, and efficiency. For juicing, it has a high extraction rate so you get more yield than most other juicers. This lowers your cost of juicing. The gears turn slowly so very little heat is produced in juicing and this makes the juice more nutritious.
You can do other things besides juicing. You can make frozen sorbet by feeding frozen fruits through it. That is the only way I have been able to jamb the Green Star, by feeding frozen fruits too fast. You can make hemp seed milk (listen to John on YouTube), almond milk, soy milk, tasty before-dinner drinks, nut butters, and other things. Juicing wheat grass in with my green juice or other juices is a snap.
The only thing I have found that is difficult to juice is soft fruit. There are tricks you can learn to do it but if you try to juice only soft fruit, you will end up with fairly low yield, relative to other fruits and vegetables that go through the Green Star.
Cleaning can be a bit daunting at first but with a few good tips given in the manual and some practice I find it pretty simple and straight forward to clean and reassemble for the next use.
Learning to use the Green Star well and taking the time to make juice with any juicer is a significant time investment. But it is a great investment in a healthy lifestyle, one that I am glad to have made in the Green Star.
