Many people 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 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 process and don't oxidize.
It's important that the juice is pressed out slowly so that enzymes and vitamins survive the juicing process and don't oxidize. With slow juicers, the juice therefore lasts longer after it's been pressed.
With our selected juicers, you get maximum nutrition from your vegetables, berries, herbs, sprouts, and fruits.
Premium Top-Class Juicers
If you want to juice everything possible such as vegetables, berries, wheatgrass, barley grass, lots of root vegetables, soft fruit, herbs, and sprouts, we always recommend a juicer with twin gears.
They are in a class of their own, and yes, much more expensive and much better at juicing everything possible.
Professional Juicers with Twin Gears
Angel Juicer
Greenstar Pro
Greenstar Elite – available in white and black
Both Greenstar and Angel juicer use the same twin-gear mechanism, but there are slight differences in the rotor and pressing chamber design that make a difference, especially in juice yield.
Greenstar Elite features "Bio Ceramic Magnetic Technologies" and "Infrared Technologies" which, according to the manufacturer, should 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 twin gears, you'll get a superior result, retain more nutrition, and get more juice that lasts longer.
Budget-Friendly & Simpler Juicers
If you're primarily focused on making lighter fruit and vegetable juices such as celery juice and want a more affordable 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 such as carrots or beets.
If you press a lot of hard vegetables with such a machine, it can happen that certain parts break.
So you need to have more patience with a juicer that only has one auger and be more careful.
Slow Juicers with Single Auger
Omega Juicer MM900
Solostar 4 – available in white & silver
Vertical juicer that functions as both juicer and grinder – available in red & silver
Omega Juicer MM1500 functions as juicer and food processor
Z-star 710 is a manual juicer that works really well but requires arm strength & patience. Most people who choose Z-star do so because they want to bring a juicer when traveling or perhaps are in a place where they don't have access to electricity.
Which Juicer is Easiest to Clean?
Angel Juicer is easy to clean thanks to consisting of fewer parts and fewer hard-to-reach spaces.
Greenstar and Slowstar are equivalent to clean. It naturally also depends on what you juice, but cleaning takes a while.
We find Solostar 4, Omega juicers, and Angel Juicer to be the easiest to wash.
Choose a Juicer You'll Use Often
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+fiber should be separated with a strainer that comes with the machines. This function is instead built into the press housing for Angel Juicer.
A very important function where Slowstar is superior is that the juicer in most cases automatically feeds the vegetables and fruits into the machine.
For Solostar 4 and Omega Juicer, the vegetables must be cut into smaller pieces to be fed in the best way.
The pulp that comes out from Greenstar Elite and Slowstar is slightly moister than the pulp from Angel Juicer. This means that you simply get more juice from Angel Juicer provided that you use the same amount of raw materials.
However, you can extract more juice in many juicers like Greenstar and Omega if you choose to run the pulp through an additional 1-2 times.
When you press this way with Greenstar, you can get an additional approximately 20% juice, depending on what type of raw materials you use.
Multi-Function Juicers
In 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 purchase special press housings that are quite expensive.
Omega Juicer MM900 doesn't have that function at all.
Conclusion
If we now summarize all the points above and want to spend as little money as possible for multiple functions, have limited counter space to place it on in the kitchen, and want it to feed 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 want to juice a lot of fruit, berries, spices, leafy greens, and grasses, then one of the larger ones with 2 gears like Angel or Greenstar wins.
If you want a cheaper juicer and an easy-to-clean one, then Omega MM900 or Solostar 4 win. They are also nice to look at in the kitchen and don't take up huge amounts of space.

6 Reasons to Drink More Juice
Green juices based primarily on vegetables and a little fruit are an excellent way to get a lot of different vegetables, especially if you have difficulty getting enough vegetables and fruit in your daily diet.
Through juice, you get loads of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that go straight into your system, however juice should not replace chewing fresh vegetables, that should also be done.
Juice helps you absorb all nutrients from vegetables. This is important since most of us have impaired digestion as a result of 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 through "loading" with concentrated phytochemicals/phytonutrients. These are substances found naturally in fruits and vegetables that function as the plants' immune system.
Green juices often promote weight loss when needed. You increase the intake of vitamins and minerals while reducing the intake of fast carbohydrates.
Green juices increase energy. When your body has an abundance of the nutrients it needs, those who drink green juice can get a "boost" of energy almost immediately.
How to Make a Green Detox Juice
What you don't drink can be stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator for 1-2 days (3 days maximum). This recipe serves 2 portions.
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. Feed everything in small pieces into the juicer. Slowly, one piece at a time. Enjoy!
