The Green Star Elite is a highly capable twin-gear slow juicer that has a tremendous reputation based on its performance and reliability. As a result, it has broad popularity and thanks to its 3 stage juicing mechanism, it keeps to the guidance of the Gerson therapy to maximise nutrient extraction.
To achieve its great juicing reputation, the Green Star Elite makes use of a twin-gear mechanism to great effect. This style of mechanism is widely regarded as the best when it comes to overall yields, and it is able to put ingredients under incredible pressure to enable maximum nutrient extraction.
This process is further optimised thanks to the jumbo gears found in the GSE. These gears are far longer than the gears seen in older Green Star models, which allows them to perform a 3 stage process for optimal results. These stages are as follows:
In combination, these stages allow the Green Star to extract some of the highest juice yields possible and it specialises at working with fibrous ingredients, such as leafy greens, celery and ginger.
Alongside the standard twin gear juicing mechanism, the Green Star Elite also makes use of a pulp control knob. This spring-loaded knob can be manually adjusted to different levels and allows for more or less pressure to be applied to ingredients as they are juiced.
Higher pressure works best when juicing low-yield ingredients such as leafy greens or celery, as it ensures deep juice extraction. Then, when working with juice-rich ingredients such as apples or oranges, a lower pressure level helps to avoid a pulp backlog while still facilitating high extraction levels.
On top of its juice-oriented advantages, the GSE also offers a very large selection of accessories in the box. These range from more typical options such as a cleaning brush or a drip tray to some nicer items such as a glass juice collection jug and a wooden pusher.
However, beyond the basic parts, it also comes with 3 different types of screen, which allow it to perform roles beyond just juicing. The coarse screen allows it to output smoothies, the breadstick screen allows it to mix and process doughs, and the homogenising screen allows it to make nut butter or breadcrumbs.
To ensure its lasting durability, Tribest has made the Green Star Elite from a range of high-quality materials. Starting with the gears, these are primarily made of stainless steel, ensuring they can handle the high pressures required to effectively extract high yields.
Then, the remaining juicing components are made of a range of durable and sturdy BPA-free plastics. This gives them a bit of flexibility to prevent cracking, while also importantly ensuring that no chemicals can leach from them into the juice.
In keeping with its use of high-quality materials, the Green Star Elite has a very practical design with a heavy focus on being sturdy and damage resistant. It also features some useful elements such as a carrying handle and a safety switch to prevent accidental activation.
After trying another Brand of juicer which I returned as unsuitable I decided to go back to the Green Star brand. I had previously owned a juicer from this brand many years ago. I researched features and reviews and also looked at several comparison videos before deciding on this upmarket model. I am certainly not disappointed. Yes it is slow, yes it is big, yes it is quite an investment but it really is a fantastic juicing machine. The build quality is first class, it is quiet in operation and best of all its not too difficult to clean. The juice it produces is beautiful and there's not too much waste, the pulp being very dry. This model has no fancy add ons which was exactly what I wanted. The service from Juicers UK was exceptional as always and if you are considering a serious juicing machine I would not hesitate to recommend this one.
I am a novice in the world of slow juicers and my only prior experience of juicing has been with centrifugal juicers. I did however do extensive research before buying the juicer. For the price point, this juicer has the best yield and has a robust built which makes juicing an absolute joy and you cannot beat its performance. It has a very good yield and the pulp is fairly dry. I have been using it everyday for over a week now to juice greens of all kinds, carrots, beetroot, celery as well as some fruits and it does an amazing job with everything. However it does require some pressure pushing down fruits and vegetables down the chute and the cleaning is not the easiest in the world and the juicing process takes some time. Having said that, if you do not need to rush your juicing and do not have any concerns operating a machine which is heavy and requires some force in forcing the fruits and vegetables in between the gears, I would highly recommend it. It produces great quality juice with very little pulp and very little froth.
A simple and robust piece of equipment. Well design and built does anything that you expect without fuss. Easy to use with outstanding juicing ability.
I used to have other slow juicers both vertical and horizontal, but decided to get a twin gear one. Initially I was thinking about getting Omega Sana twin gear (new one) but hen a No. And I am very pleased with my choice. Green Star is pretty quiet in operation, the juices both from leafy veg to carrots etc come out really well. I have noticed a much higher yield comparing to previous centrifugal juicers I have used. The cleaning is not too bad and the cleaning gadgets are very useful. I went for the black colour as it matches my kitchen white top really well. I would recommend either Elite and Pro version and hope the machine will last longer then 5 years as per the warranty.
Juicers uk handled my order expertly. The Green Star Elite is an impressive machine, I am very happy with the product and the company.
I love this juicer, much drier pulp than my old centrifugal one.
