Green Star GS-1000 Juicer - A Juicer That Lasts

The Green Star GS-1000 Juicer is great if you are going to be juicing a lot of greens such as spinach and parsley.
A huge benefit of Green Star is that it juices wheat grass, so you will not need a dedicated wheat grass juicer.
During the time I owned this it never failed to produce a quality juice from virtually any fruit or vegetable (as well as a soft, smooth ice cream, peanut butter and burger patties).
Assembly and setup are not that easy though-it is important to assemble in the proper order, so I would recommend keeping the instructions for the Green Star GS-1000 Juicer and laminating them for easy reference.
Dis-assembly and cleanup are more simple, and the manufacturer includes proper cleaning tools with the unit.
The juice collection cup that comes with this juicer is on the smaller side, so an additional juice cup purchase is advisable to prevent delays in juicing sessions.
The Green Star GS-1000 Juicer is a twin gear masticating juicer. One real benefit to this style of juicer is the enzymes in the raw fruit and vegetables are left intact since it doesn't heat the juice. So the juicing process is slower, but with a slower speed, the juice does not heat up.
Also the pulp comes out very dry.
It's also amazingly quiet, far quieter than other juicers.
The inlet is on the small side, so pre-cutting most vegetables and fruits is necessary.
It comes equipped with a convenient carrying handle built into the machine and compartment for electric cord storage, making it easy to store between sessions.
The size is on the smaller end for masticating juicers and it can fit into most cabinets or appliance caddies.
The Green Star GS-1000 is a higher end juicer, averaging $440 in most stores.
But with a 5 year warranty, that price is well worth it for a machine that will long outlast its warranty with few if any problems.
If you are looking for a sturdy, well built juicer for years of enjoyment, the Green Star GS-1000 Juicer is just what you need!
