Many ask us which juicer they should buy. In this article, we will therefore try to guide you to the juicer that suits you best.
All the juicers we offer are so-called slow juicers, which means they cold-press the juice, i.e., the juice is pressed out slowly so that enzymes and vitamins survive the juicing and do not oxidize.
It is important that the juice is pressed out slowly so that enzymes and vitamins survive the juicing and do not oxidize. With slow juicers, the juice therefore lasts longer after being pressed.
With our selected juicers, you get the maximum nutrients from your vegetables, berries, herbs, sprouts, and fruits.
Exclusive top-class juicers
If you want to juice everything like vegetables, berries, wheatgrass, barley grass, lots of root vegetables, soft fruit, herbs, and sprouts, we always recommend a juicer with two augers.
They are in a class of their own, and yes, much more expensive and much better at juicing everything.
Professional juicers with two augers
- Angel Juicer
- Greenstar Pro
- Greenstar Elite – available in white and black
Both Greenstar and Angel Juicer use the same mechanics with two augers, but there is a slight difference in the design of the rotors and pressing chamber which mainly affects the amount of juice.
Greenstar Elite has "Bio Ceramic Magnetic Technologies" and "Infrared Technologies" which according to the manufacturer make the juice more stable. If you choose to juice in the morning and make juice for the afternoon at the same time, this can definitely be an advantage.
If you choose a slow juicer with two augers, you get a significantly better result, retain more nutrients, and get more juice that lasts longer.
Affordable & simpler juicers
If you are mainly focused on making lighter fruit and vegetable juices like celery juice and want a cheaper juicer, you can choose one with a single auger.
They are usually lower in price and easier to clean.
A juicer with only one auger juices a bit slower and is more sensitive to hard vegetables like carrots or beets.
If you press very hard vegetables with such a machine, some parts may break.
So you need to be more patient with a juicer that only has one auger and be more careful.
Slowjuicers with a single auger
- Omega Juicer MM900
- Solostar 4 – available in white & silver
- Vertical juicer that works as both a juicer and a grinder – available in red & silver
- Omega Juicer MM1500 works as both a juicer and a food processor
- The Z-star 710 is a manual juicer that works really well but requires arm strength & patience. Most people who choose the Z-star do so because they want a juicer to take on the go or maybe are in a place without access to electricity.
Which juicer is easiest to clean?
Angel Juicer is easy to clean thanks to having fewer parts and fewer hard-to-reach spaces.
Greenstar and Slowstar are equally easy to clean. Of course, it also depends on what you juice, but cleaning takes a while.
We find Solostar 4, Omega juicers, and Angel Juicer the easiest to clean.
Choose a juicer you will use a lot
The most important thing is to find a machine you enjoy using so that you actually use it.
Some different thoughts:
- Our experience is that Greenstar and Slowstar produce juice that foams more. This foam+fibers should be separated with a strainer that comes with the machines. This function is instead built into the pressing chamber for Angel Juicer.
- A very important feature where Slowstar is superior is that the juicer in most cases feeds the vegetables and fruits into the machine by itself.
- For Solostar 4 and Omega Juicer, the vegetables must be cut into smaller pieces for optimal feeding.
- The fibers that come out from Greenstar Elite and Slowstar are a bit wetter than the fibers from Angel Juicer. This means you simply get more juice from Angel Juicer, assuming you use the same amount of ingredients.
However, you can extract more juice in many juicers like Greenstar and Omega by running the fibers through 1-2 more times.
When you press this way with Greenstar, you can get about 20% more juice, depending on the type of ingredients you use.
Multifunction juicers
With some juicers, you can make ice cream, sorbets, nut butters, and pâtés.
- With Greenstar, Solostar 4, Slowstar, and Omega Juicer MM1500, these accessories are included.
- For Angel Juicer, you need to buy special pressing chambers which are quite expensive.
- Omega Juicer MM900 doesn’t have that function at all.
Conclusion
If we sum up all the points above and want to spend as little as possible for multiple functions, have limited counter space in the kitchen, and want the juicer to feed down as much of the ingredients as possible by itself, then Slowstar and Omega MM1500 win.
If you want to get more juice from the ingredients and plan to juice lots of fruit, berries, spices, leafy greens, and grasses, one of the larger two-shaft models like Angel or Greenstar wins.
If you want a cheaper juicer that’s easy to clean, Omega MM900 or Solostar 4 win. They also look nice in the kitchen and don’t take up much space.

6 reasons to drink more juice
- Green juices based mainly on vegetables and a little fruit are an excellent way to get a lot of different vegetables, especially if you find it hard to get enough vegetables and fruit in your daily diet.
- Through juice, you get plenty of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that go straight into your system, but juice should not replace chewing fresh vegetables; that should be done as well.
- Juice helps you absorb all the nutrients from vegetables. This is important because most of us have impaired digestion due to less optimal food choices over many years. Vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, are linked to reducing the risk of developing diabetes and can help improve cholesterol levels.
- Green juices support the immune system by “charging” concentrated phytochemicals/phytonutrients. These are substances naturally found in fruits and vegetables and act as the plants’ immune system.
- Green juices often promote weight loss if needed. You increase your intake of vitamins and minerals while reducing your intake of fast carbohydrates.
- Green juices boost energy. When your body has an abundance of the nutrients it needs, those who drink green juice can get an almost immediate energy “kick.”
How to make a green detox juice
What you don’t drink can be stored in a glass jar in the fridge for 1-2 days (absolute max 3 days). This recipe makes 2 servings.
1 cucumber
8 celery stalks
2 green apples
3 dl green leaves (e.g., kale, spinach, pea shoots)
1 lemon
2-3 cm peeled ginger
Wash all vegetables (preferably choose organic vegetables), peel the lemon, and core the apples. Put everything in smaller pieces into the juicer. Slowly, one piece at a time. Enjoy!
