    Default Lexen Healthy Juicer Question

    Does the Healthy Juicer do beet root? I'm talking the manual one, not the electrical...

    TIA!!

    I did already a few months ago :) I'm having a problem with it though. Can't get the suction to work at all and the clamp won't stay in. Any tips?

    How does this juicer work for sprouts?

    I just found my Champion juicer cannot do sprouts well.

    No, the Champion isn't really made for sprouts or greens. Too high and fast so it heats them up. It's REALLY good for carrots and other root veggies though.

    In my opinion the twin gear juicers are good for everything.

    The Lexen Starbuck is talking about is a hand-crank model used mostly for wheatgrass. I'm sure it would work well on sprouts. I've used it for root veggies. It works but it's not really the most efficient way to juice them unless you're looking for a good arm work-out.
