Tribest Juice Extractor Review

I did as much research as I could online for masticating juicers in this price range and then spent two days deciding between the Omega 8005 and the SoloStar II. Although the Omega seems to be the more dominant product, all the reviews on the SoloStar where excellent. I had hoped for more reviews on Amazon to help me out but there was only one person that had reviewed it. Hence, I'm adding my own to hopefully help someone else out. The juicer is terrific. I had it put together in a matter of a few minutes and as I stared at it, I knew I had to try it out. My other juicer is a centrifugal so I could hardly wait to see the difference. This juicer does an awesome job. I juiced celery, carrots, asparagus, grapes, and an apple right away. I was amazed at how much juice I got. I would have used twice that much fruit and vegetables in the centrifugal juicer. The pulp came out very dry and then for the best part...I had this thing taken apart washed and ready to go again in 3 minutes. It's that easy. Time to scrap the old juicer! If I had to completely dig for a complaint about the juicer I would have to say that I wish the chute was bigger; however, I don't think it is any bigger on any other juicer of this type. I also expected some instructions or a little recipe book and that was not there but no big deal. It did come with a VHS tape which I know I will never watch. The three selling points on this juicer for me where #1 - Dual Stage extraction (which really works - you can see the juice that other juicer would have lost come out of the second stage spout) #2 - Larger Auger #3 - Made by the same company that makes the highly acclaimed Green Star juicers (which are too expensive for me right now). So far, I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

DUAL-STAGE JUICING PROCESS SoloStar's new and exclusive Dual-Stage juicing process achieves greater efficiency than other Single-Auger juicers, which means that you get more juice from your produce.It works by filtering out juice during the initial crushing phase, before it can be reabsorbed into the pulp, and then squeezes the remaining pulp in the secondary pressing phase. More juice goes in your cup, and less stays behind in the pulp. VERSATILITY The SoloStar can handle virtually any fruit, vegetable, leafy green, herb, or grass that you can ever want to juice. If can also easily convert into a flat pasta or round noodle maker, and mochi mill, with its included accessories. QUALITY Solostar's low-speed Auger gently crushes and squeezes your produce, and will not heat up your juice, or destroy any of the precious nutrients and enzymes. Conventional high-speed centrifugal juicers fling your juice around, heat it up with blade or basket friction, and damage much of the nutrients, live enzymes, and fragile taste of the juice. The SoloStar delivers all the natural goodness and flavor that you should demand from a juicer.DURABILITY Only the highest quality, heavy duty materials were used in the construction of the SoloStar. Its excellence of design ensures that it'll be juicing for many years to come. SoloStar is UL approved, and meets the highest standards. SERVICE Tribest Corporation has been world renowned for bringing you the Green Power, Green Life and Green Star juicers. Now with the SoloStar, Tribest Corp. celebrates its 15th year of bringing you service, quality and value. Tribest is committed to your satisfaction, and are proud to be of service.

New Z-Star Manual Portable Wheatgrass Juicer Review

I am partial to the masticating (rather than spinning centrifugal) juicers for reasons I won't go into here, so I went nuts shopping trying to fit my budget. I looked over this model quite a few times thinking it wouldn't be suitable for more than wheatgrass, or assuming it would be a lot of extra work.
Turns out that it is so easy to use I can't hardly believe more reviewers don't talk about it. Granted I chop the veggies, but to give you a frame of reference it's less effort to turn the handle than to tamp the veggies down the chute, and you have to do that even with an electric (not that either is hard). I could liken the manual/electric usage to driving manual/automatic transmission. I actually prefer this manual over the electric masticating I have used most days. Staying actively engaged makes it go by faster or something.
It is also extremely efficient. I have also used an Omega 8005 and feel like I not only saved money up front, but am spending less on veggies. As a daily juicer, that adds up. It's also lower pulp in the juice and less froth, the first a matter of taste the second a matter of shelf life. If you like the pulp, you can obviously add it back in.
As others have mentioned the pulp wants to drop into the juice container. There are about a hundred ways to easily work around this. My personal favorite is to put something under the container to raise it up a bit, allowing it to slide "out of range." Complaining about that seems to me about as petty as complaining you need an outlet for your toaster. It's really no big deal.
I have been extremely pleased with what it is able to juice. I am growing wheatgrass, but so far have fed it mainly apples, celery, and carrots.
I suspect this is the Green Star or Solo Star or whatever it's called these days with a crank instead of a motor. That is just a guess, based somewhat on the available "conversion kit" for electric model owners. Either way it is a terrific juicer and I'm glad I didn't fork over triple the price for an electric motor.
Update 11 1/2 months after buying:
I finally had something go wrong with this juicer. I was making peanut butter with the plug in the cap and it broke. I jumped on the Tribest web site, found a toll-free number, and in less than a minute I had someone from the company on the phone who replaced the part free of charge. They honored the 1 year warranty with no hassles even though I was pushing the thing pretty hard (I think the rep was surprised I had successfully made as much PB as I had with the plug in). BTW - the peanut butter this makes is amazing. It's actually capable of making creamy peanut butter, just leave the plug out of the front cap. ;)

Wheatgrass juice is one of nature's richest sources of chlorophyll and has proven to be a natural body cleanser, rebuilder, and neutralizer of body toxins. Until now, obtaining the juice from this miracle plant required purchasing expensive juicers or making a trip to your local juice bar to buy a shot. Now, with the Z-Star Manual Juicer, Tribest makes it affordable to be able to juice wheatgrass at home, or on the go.
