  1. Default Upgrading My Juicer

    hello all
    i need to upgrade my juicer. i currently have a jack lalanne but it discourages me from juicing everyday because i don't like to take it apart and put it back together every single day for cleaning. the juice is too frothy and the more i use it, the more and more pulp i get with the juice. what's the best juicer i can get that is an easy clean and won't give me too much froth?

    Default I have the SoloStarII.

    I got it because my champion was too hard to clean. I love it. It juices everything and I got it at a real reasonable price - $210.

    im glad you told me this. i was at a raw store and they made ice cream with the champion. they said that it was not a problem to clean. i need convenience and i can't be breaking down a thousand parts and putting it back together everyday. does this one juice wheatgrass as well and make icecream?

    Default It wasn't the amount of parts that made it hard to clean

    It was packed with all the pulp from all the fruits and veggies that went through it. And you have to get if off between the sharp teeth that do all the grinding.

    The SoloStarII gets 90% of the pulp out of the machine before you start taking it apart. Very little to clean up after. It does ice cream and wheat grass. The Champion will do ice cream but does not do wheat grass.

    I have heard many people say that the greenstar is hard to clean but I dont find that to be true. It is a work horse that I use almost everyday and my clean up time is less than 5 minutes. I let it dry in the dish drainer and put it back together the next morning. It takes no time at all really. I guess what Im trying to say is I LOVE MY GREENSTAR !

    That funny because I have the champion and I think twice about using it because I'm thinking of the mess and clean up....I'd just rather make a smoothie and be done with it. Maybe it's because I'm not that big into juicing, but the champion is a great juicer.

    Question Huh??

    I love my champion. I juice, clean and dry within minutes. I really don't even think about it! I had a juicer a while back that was a pain ......... The champion seems to easy! Just my opinion.
