Many people ask us which juicer they should buy. In this article, we will therefore try to guide you to the juicer that best suits you. 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 is 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 has been pressed. With our selected juicers, you get maximum nutrition from your vegetables, berries, herbs, sprouts, and fruits.
Premium juicers of top quality
If you want to juice all kinds of things such as vegetables, berries, wheatgrass, barley grass, lots of root vegetables, soft fruit, herbs, and sprouts, we always recommend a juicer with two rollers. They are in a class of their own, and yes, much more expensive and much better at juicing all kinds of things.
Professional juicers with two rollers
Greenstar Elite – available in white and black color
Both Greenstar and Angel juicer use the same mechanics with two rollers, however there are slight differences in the design of the rotors and press chamber which mainly affect the amount of juice produced. Greenstar Elite has "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. When you choose a slow juicer with two rollers, you get a superior result, retain more nutrients, and extract more juice that lasts longer.
Affordable & Simpler Juicers
If you're mostly 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 roller. These are often lower in price and easier to clean. A juicer with only one roller juices a bit slower and is more sensitive to hard vegetables such as carrots or beetroots. If you press a lot of hard vegetables in such a machine, some parts might break. You therefore need to have more patience with a juicer that only has one roller and be more careful.
Slowjuicers with one roller
Omega Juicer MM900
Solostar 4 – available in white & silver
Slowstar which functions as both a juicer and a grinder – available in red & silver
Omega Juicer MM1500 functions as both a juicer and food processor
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 to take a juicer with them while traveling or perhaps they are in a place where they don't have access to electricity.
Which juicer is easiest to clean?
The Angel Juicer is easy to clean thanks to having fewer parts and fewer hard-to-reach areas.
Greenstar and Slowstar are comparable when it comes to cleaning. It depends of course on what you're juicing, but cleaning takes a while. We find the Solostar 4, Omega juicers and Angel Juicer to be the easiest to clean.
Choose a juicer you'll actually use
The most important thing is to find a machine you're comfortable with so that you'll actually use it. Some different considerations:
In our experience, 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 the Angel Juicer.
A very important feature 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 for them to be fed in the best way.
The fibers that come out from Greenstar Elite and Slowstar are a bit moister than the fibers from Angel Juicer. This means that you simply get more juice from Angel Juicer provided that you use the same amount of raw ingredients. However, you can press out more juice in many juicers like Greenstar and Omega if you choose to run the fibers through an additional 1-2 times. When you press this way with Greenstar, you can get an additional 20% juice, depending on the type of raw ingredients you use.
Juicers with multifunction
In some juicers, you can make ice cream, sorbets, nut butter, 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 which 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 in the kitchen, and want the machine to feed in as many ingredients as possible by itself, then the Slowstar and Omega MM1500 are the winners.
If you want to extract more juice from the ingredients and want to process lots of fruit, berries, herbs, leafy greens, and grass varieties, one of the larger models with 2 shafts like Angel or Greenstar will be the winner.If you want a cheaper juicer that's also easy to clean, the Omega MM900 or Solostar 4 are the winners. They also look good in your kitchen and don't take up too much space.

6 reasons to drink more juice
Green juices based primarily on vegetables and a little fruit are an excellent way to consume many different vegetables, especially if you find it difficult to include 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 be done too.
Juice helps you absorb all nutrients from vegetables. This is important because most of us have impaired digestion as a result of less optimal food choices over many years. Vegetables, especially leafy greens, are linked to reducing the risk of developing diabetes and can help improve cholesterol levels.
Green juices support the immune system through "loading" of concentrated phytochemicals/phytonutrients. These are substances that naturally occur in fruits and vegetables and function 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 increase energy. When your body has an abundance of the nutrients it needs, those who drink green juice can get a "kick" of energy almost immediately.
How to make a green detox juice
Any juice you don't drink can be stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator for 1-2 days (absolute maximum 3 days). This recipe makes 2 servings.

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!
