The Fantastic Fruitstar
On one hand, I was pretty nervous ordering this juicer with the review left from Orphex, but on the other I know a lot of people who have and use Tribest products (particularly the Green Star juicers). I didn't want to spend as much for a juicer as I don't really plan on juicing that heavily, I was looking more for something to supplement my new diet and not completely change my eating habits and I was thinking that a vertical juicer would be the best alternative in terms of function and price.
After researching a bunch of different vertical juicers particularly the Omega VRT, it didn't seem like there was too much of a difference machine wise and the Fruitstar was on sale and came with an additional strainer so I decided to take the plunge, and I'm happy I did.
Now down to the review, I was really worried about what amount of pulp I would be getting in my juice and was pleasantly surprised when it was minimal. From the past review I was expecting something the...
Fresh tasting juice!
I have been a happy owner of a Tribest Personal Blender for a few years but I wanted to purchase a simple juicer for my detox juicing program. After researching a bit about the juicers, I decided to go with a slow juicer. The omega vert, fruitstar, and hurom were all good candidates for my slow juicer but I picked Ffruitstar without any hesitation because of my experience and trust on the Tribest products.
My Fruitstar came in last week and Yes! My decision was correct. I love it so much.
The machine is very simple to assemble and juice, just like blenders - assembling the machine took less than a minute. It is also kind of fun to watch the ingredients go down by themselves if you leave them alone in the chute.
The juice tastes fresh. Although it takes ten more minutes than blending everything in one cup, I like the fresh clean taste of my detox juice. For nearly-pulpless juice, try putting the included strainer on top of the juice container and let...
Great juicer, wonderfully easy fresh juices!
I love using this juicer. The vertical, masticating design is quieter than most juicers and very efficient. It produces more juice per piece of produce than my previous centrifugal (Cuinsinart) juicer. The juices from this style have more fiber in them, especially from the extra fibrous vegetables. They are very easy to filter, so I usually do an extra step of pouring my juice through a small sieve and my almond milks through a nut bag.
Clean up is very quick, all juicers require disassembly and serious cleaning after every use. This one is much easier to both take apart and clean.
The colors of the juices are brighter and deeper. There is less separation of the juices too. I have juiced a lot of fruits: apples, oranges, lemons, limes, nectarines, peaches. I mainly juice vegetables for an appetite suppressant, diet-aid drink. These vegetable drinks are mainly different combinations of juiced kale, spinach, lettuce, squash, celery, cucumbers, bell peppers, ginger...
