Glad I bought it
I am writing this because I had SO much difficulty finding more than a handful of customer reviews online when trying to find a juicer.
My family has been juicing for years now with a popular-brand centrifugal juicer. My stepdad was diagnosed with cancer and we started researching the Gerson Therapy. This juicer is NOT recommended for the Gerson Therapy, but their system is so complicated and expensive we decided to compromise. We went with a twin-gear because it's a much better juicer than a centrifugal but it's not nearly as much trouble as a 2-stage press system.
Anyway, we love it. We estimate we're getting twice as much juice per-veggie than we did with the centrifugal juicer. We juice at least 4 times per week (for 3 people) so we're thinking the price difference will easily be paid in a year just from the savings on produce.
It's also easier to clean than our old one. The hardest part to clean is the mesh screen... it has some tight corners that the...
i like it....!
i have had my gs-elite for almost 3 weeks and i really like it. it performs better for me than the gs-1000 which i have been using for several years.
i like using the wooden plunger because it is gives me a lot more sensitivity when feeding things into the feeding chute.
it seems that the gs-elite makes carrot juicing a bit easier than with the gs-1000.
the clean up is very easy for me and i like the "snap open and close" new style latching arms of the gs-elite.
most of the parts rinse off easily after a short period of soaking in the sink and i use my sink sprayer to 'squirt right on to' and clean the back part of the juicer body where everything attaches. also i can wash the cover easily in my dishwasher if needed and it comes out nice and clean.
one thing i personally enjoy about the gs-elite is that the feeding chute cover- assembly can be turned upside down and placed on a small towel after being washed so that it...
Shame on Tribest
I purchased a Green Star Elite juicer sight unseen with great hopes and high expectations. This is the third twin gear juicer I have owned, the first being a Marathon and the second being a Green Star Gold, and my expectations were dashed when I used the Elite for the first time. I have to say that I am deeply disappointed in the Green Star Elite. In my opinion the design of the Elite is inferior to the Gold and the Marathon.
The twin gears on the Elite and the Gold are the same but the plastic augers on the Elite have been extended another inch or so and the screen has been lengthened a corresponding amount. The performance of the Elite is equivalent to the Gold and I can detect no difference in either the juice or the pulp. The two significant improvements between the Elite and the Gold are the latch mechanism that holds the unit together and the location of the feed chute, which is offset in the Gold and in-line in the Elite. However, the latch mechanism is also a major...
