This Company is a Nightmare to Work With!
By Linda R. Hendrex
I got my Champion Juicer about 15 years ago, and LOVED it. It is a well made and versatile workhorse that does everything from grinding grain to making peanut butter. However do not be fooled by the new machines. They look the same, but the interior configuration is different. It does not work the way it is supposed to, and the company doesn't care.

Several years after I got my juicer, my mother-in-law wanted to get a better juicer than the centrifigual one she already had. Upon MY advice, she gave away her old, reliable juicer and bought a Champion. I was shocked that the motor sounded loose and rattly, and the pulp came out wet and drippy. Hardly any juice came out. It was obviously a piece of junk that was either broken, or poor quality, or both.

I called Whole Foods, where it was purchased, and they said that they did not offer any warranties on their juicers. They advised me to contact Champion directly. When I called the Champion company, the person who answered the phone was rude and defensive. She said that they had "upgraded" the unit, and that the noise simply reflected the "better" motor. She flatly denied that the machine could possibly be defective, and she said that the company policy does not allow refunds. She claimed that we must be doing something wrong - it didn't matter that I already owned one and knew how it was supposed to work. My only choice was to ship this extremely heavy machine back to California (AT MY OWN EXPENSE), or accept it as is!

So my unfortunate mother-in-law had given away her good juicer, and was stuck with one that barely worked. It languished in her cupboard for a long time, unused. Now, several years later, she is caring for a sick family member, and desperately needs fresh juice. We lugged it out, thinking that it was better than nothing, but when we plugged it in today, it wouldn't even turn on. The machine is totally dead, and she did not even get a single full glass of juice from it! Of course, the company claims that "nothing is wrong with the machine".

My suggestion is that if you want a good juicer, buy an Omega, or purchase a used Champion that is more than 15 years old.

5best kitchen tool i've ever purchased
By J. Sack
I've owned this juicer for 8 years, and have never had a problem. Of course, I only juice apples, oranges, carrots, grapefruit, ginger, and beets, so I do not know how stuff like spinach, broccoli, wheatgrass, and the sort turn out. Clean-up involves brushing off 5 parts, which takes about one minute. Just buy a nylon bristle brush, make sure to use only warm water (never hot so as not to mis-shape the pieces), and clean immediately after use. To give you an idea of how economical this machine is, and juicing in general: yesterday, i bought an 18 pound bag of Texas Rio Red grapefruit for $6. There were 21 grapefruit, large and very juicy. I used 4 this morning to make three large beer mug-size glasses. That is 29 cents times 4, for a total of $1.20, approximately. $1.20 divided by 3 glasses is 40 cents. Very good compared to $3 or $4 at a juice shop, where they are normally adding apple juice from concentrate or ice. I just hope mine goes 27 years like the other reviewer's.

5Champion Juicer
By Trixie
This is possibly the best juicer on the market. I have owned mine for twenty-seven (27) years! I have never had a problem with it, and it has aided me in improving my health. I beg to differ with the other reviewer, as I juice wheatgrass fairly often, with no trouble.

strengths and weaknesses
By The Delite Rancher
Drawbacks
My SoloStar II has been plagued by problems. In less than a year, many of the outer parts have broken. The juicing screen ($35.00) has broken three times. When the juicing screens break, it happens before the pulp container is even full. As a result, the auger and juicing screen need to be cleaned constantly within a session. The screen locking cap ($5.80) has also broken. Speaking of the auger, even that cracked ($35.00). Several times, I e-mailed customer service about such issues with no reply. When I called, Tribest Life promptly sent out free replacement parts.

Benefits
When the parts aren't breaking, the SoloStar II works very well. It's simple to assembly and operate. The actual extraction process seems efficient. Cleaning is a breeze since most of the parts rinse under the sink. The only cleaning challenge is the juicing screen. Along these lines, the modified toothbrush that comes with the unit is worthless. I now use a steel auto detailing brush that does a great job. The SoloStar II is visually pleasing and the unit operates at a good volume. I was inspired to purchase the juicer after watching the online video as hosted on the Tribest Life web page. It accompanies the juicer in VHS format. Being a first time juicer, this was extremely helpful.

In conclusion, there are benefits and drawbacks to the SoloStar II. While it may have been a good introduction to the juicing world, I definitely look forward to an upgrade. Talking to juicers (people who juice, not the machines;), it seems that you really need to spend around $350.00-$400.00 before getting a quality juicer. Should you decide to purchase the SoloStar II, make certain that you send in the warranty/registration card. That was essential in getting parts replaced at no charge.

4Quiet
By Elliot
It's quiet. What a change from the previous juicer that sounded like a chainsaw in the kitchen. The only way I have to judge whether it seems to juice better is the dampness of the extruded pulp. This one makes far drier pulp than our previous. Juice is juice to me, but this one seems to work more effectively. And did I say it was quiet?

5Solo Star II works perfectly if you just follow the directions!
By Christine H. Farlow
I purchased my Solo Star II in May 2008. I had a couple centrifugal juicers before I purchased the Solo Star II, so I was accustomed to shoving the carrots and other veggies and fruits down the chute quickly and having the juice come out just as fast.

The directions for the Solo Star II specifically say to cut the fruits and veggies you're juicing into small chunks about 1" long. I thought I could just push the carrots and other veggies down slowly, without cutting them into small pieces. It worked at first, but as time went on, the juicer was backing up, and there were chunks of carrots and other veggies in the juice. And my juicing screen cracked. I had it replaced under warranty.

After I got the new juicing screen, all was working as when I first got the juicer. However, shortly thereafter, the same problems started occurring again. Before I called customer support this time, I went back and read the instruction manual one more time. I decided to follow the instructions to the "t" and see if that made a difference. By George it did! The juicer started working flawlessly again. I experimented and tried cutting the carrots into 1 1/2" pieces when juicing. While the juicer didn't back up and there weren't chunks of carrots in the juice, there was more carrot pulp accumulated on the auger and in the juicing screen. When I went back to 1" pieces, again it worked flawlessly with less accumulation of pulp inside the juicer.

There's something to be said for following the directions - exactly. I've had my Solo Star II for a year now and as long as I take the time to follow the directions "exactly," it works flawlessly.

5by far the best juicer for the $$$
By F. G. Carroll
Two reasons why this juicer is the best out there...1) it presses or masticates the vegetable or fruit, rather than centrifugally cutting them, thus preserving vital nutrients in the process (kind of defeats the point of juicing when you're killing the enzymes before you're given a chance to ingest them like the centrifugal juicers do) and 2) by comparison to the omega juicer(it's cousin), it's cheaper, looks the same, and does the exact same thing. and a few extra perks include very easy clean up (probably one of the better in this department), the luxury of making your own nut butters, it's ability to juice wheatgrass, and the fact that it's quieter than most juicers, especially the centrifugal ones. have fun. fully recommend.

5Outstanding machine - outstanding company to buy from
By Rocky Ruggiero
I am a huge juicer. Every morning my wife and I juice. We noticed that our juiceman jr was not efficiently juicing our green vegies. It was wasting 90% of them. The green veggies (expensive I might add) went right into the plastic bin hardly touched. I went to Jamba Juice and they explained how an auger presses the green juices - and, that's what Jamba uses for their wheat grass....well, the rest is history. I did my homework and found out that augers are more efficient just like Jamba explained. And, kitchens best walked me through the entire thing. Plus, they offered a 90 day money back warranty. They are incredibly nice and I can't believe they offer that kind of awesome money back gaurantee. Anyway, they are RIGHT about the juicer - it absolutely presses out 95% more green juice than the Jack Lalane and Juice man Jr. styles..and it does a better job on apples, ginger, and everything else too. The ONLY down side is - it's a slower process. But, in life - you can't have everything. I would much rather take a minute or two more each day and get my monies worth out of the fruits and veggies I buy than to speed through it and waste my food. Also, I seriously think it tastes better too!! Reason being, the other style spins it so fast - I swear it tasted "burned" sometimes. The Samson seems sweeter and more mellow. Anyway, trust me - you won't go wrong with this juicer or this company. Lovely company. Fair price too. Nobody offers a 90 day warranty...not even KMART OR WALLMART!! Nuff said. Buy it - you will thank me later.

5Great juicer
By Valerie P
Being used to the simple cheap spin models, I was put off when I saw all the parts that came with this juicer. However, once I took a minute to look through their instructions manual, it became clear how it all goes together. The reason it looks like so many parts is that there are different nozzles and stuff for the different functions of the machine. The manual has very good color pictures and illustrations so they made it pretty simple, even for someone who (like me) hates reading through manuals.

Much quieter than my spin model, for sure, and the pulp came out much drier as well. Specially with the cucumbers. I was used to having a wet sloppy mess being left over when I tried to juice cucumbers- not so with this juicer.

It looks very sturdy and well put together, and disassembling it and cleaning it (in the kitchen sink, not the dishwasher) took me 3 minutes in all. Not bad.

4Great ompany great juicer
By hester
I bought the Samson 6 in one to juice wheatgrass and other veggies and am very pleased with this juicer. It does a fine job on wheatgrass especially. I run the wheatgrass pulp through again to get those extra few drops out. The customer service personnel at kitchen best are super polite and helpful as well as knowledgeable about their products. They deliver service that is lacking with most company's these day's. How can you go wrong with a 90 days satisfaction guarantee.

5Omega Quality For Leafy Greens-
By J Keistler
I purchased this juicer at least partially out of curiosity. I've had a Champion 25+ years, an Acme for 20, and Breville, L'Equip and Omega centrifugal juicers.

The problem with these centrifugals is that they are awful for leafy greens. The Champion will do leafy greens okay, but I was interested in higher yield. Plus, I do enjoy a shot of wheatgrass and the Champion won't do it at all.

I looked at both twin-gear and single-auger types. Twin-gear juicers are still being developed, so I ended up single-auger. After watching the TriBest infomercial demonstrated by some babe who acted like she was on cocaine, I went to Omega. My Omega centrifugal works flawlessly. I purchased the 8003 over the 8005 or 8006 because I like white appliances.

The 8003 is heavier than it appears in photos. However, it is quite compact, smaller than my Champion. Assembly is quite simple; the auger housing, auger, screen and end cone fit logically and the locking wheels are able to be operated with wet hands. As stated by another reviewer, the feed tube is not large; if one wants to drop whole pieces of fruit in this isn't the juicer for you. This is by far the quietest juicer I've owned.

No, where this juicer excels is with leafy greens. It will happily chomp its way through any green one wants. Unlike the Champion, stringy greens such as celery won't accidentally get wound around the auger. The trick with this juicer is to let the slow-turning auger feed at its own speed, helped with the pusher. BTW if anyone wants to see this juicer in action, go to YouTube and there are several excellent demos. I can run several carrots at a time through the big-mouth Breville; not on this juicer. However, of course, the Breville won't do leafy greens as this one does!

The downside to a white juicer is that carrots and beets can stain. Doesn't bother me, but if that could be a problem, buy the chrome finish one with black peripherals.

I know there has been a model 8006 introduced recently with an auger that's supposed to be several times harder than the melamine one used here. For ~$125 more, I don't see the benefit. I expect the price on the 8006 will drop when the novelty wears off.

If one wants to juice carrots, apples, and other firm fruit, a centrifugal will probably be the juicer of choice. I still use mine for these. However, if one wants to increase leafy greens in one's diet, one of these will definitely fill the bill.

5I'm in love!

I LOVE, LOVE this juicer!! I had read a lot of reviews from different sites (positive and very negative ones!). I don't understand those that complain about how slow and "messy" the juicer is...messy?! are u kidding me? this juicer is not messy at all, the clean up is easy; just rinse under the tap and leave out to dry. I didn't even have to use the little brush to scrub the parts. As for speed...Juicing isn't fast food!! Don't be put off by people saying that the juicer is slow; I previously had a centrifugal type juicer (and those things are fast!), although the Omega is slower, once you start juicing you'll have a glass of juice in less than five minutes. For those complaining that they have to chop up the vegs into small pieces, give me break and don't be lazy! if you actually bother to chop your veg/fruit into appropriate sizes, all you do is drop it in and the juicer takes care of the rest all on it's own, you don't even have to bother to push it in with that plunger thing. Some have mentioned that it doesn't juice carots too well; this one was a big concern of mine, but I found no problem with juicing carrots, it juices them just fine for my taste. I found myself using a little less of what I usually use to make juice, so this juicer makes plenty of juice! I haven't used the other features yet (I bought this mainly for juicing), but I'm sure I will be impressed. Buy this juicer, you won't be disappointed and your mind and body will thank you.

Peace

I LOVE this thing! What more can I say?? I got it based on positive reviews and I have NOT been disappointed. It even gets all the oil out of flax seeds when I run them through--the waste is dry as cardboard! With juicier things like grapefruit I have to run them through a couple times but it only takes a second, and it's worth it. It gets all the liquid out of anything--wheatgrass, seeds, fennel...definitely worth it.
