Which juicer is easiest to clean?

Aleesha ... I kept thinking about the question you had ... quantity of juice ... so I dragged my greenstar up from the basement today. I juiced some watermelon ... and there was almost No pulp at all --- pretty much none, so that would seem that you do get more juice. However, when I did a few handfuls of grapes -- they went through okay, but the juicer did get clogged (but so does the hurom) - so it was hard to tell about how much pulp and how wet it was.

I didn't do an 'exact' comparison, because I didn't have as many grapes left for the second batch. But I do think you probably get more juice from the Greenstar ...
it's just that cleanup ...:)

So, again, I'm waffling .. the ease of the hurom, the quality of the greenstar .... . As to which one I'll use more often .. at this point it depends on my mood and what I'm juicing I think. ... and how much space I have available on my counter!

terry, that's kinda how it is with my greenstar and my champion. if i'm in a bit of a time constraint, i grab my champion. if i'm not... it's the greenstar.

of course what i'm juicing matters as well. watermelon takes less time in the greenstar than it does in the champion. cantaloupe takes longer in the greenstar.

tomato with lots of greens is great in the greenstar. but tomato with little greens is better in the champion.

i sure do appreciate you doing that experiment terry!

lol - I'm still at it. The greenstar was still sitting on the counter, so yesterday, I did 4 oranges in the greenstar and 4 oranges in the hurom. To be technically more correct, should have cut the oranges in half so each had some of the same oranges ... but I didn't. oh well

the results were this ... there was more juice from the hurom!! -not by much. The greenstar left a scant 1/2 inch space in my 8 oz glass, the hurom came to the tippy top of the glass. The big difference was the texture of the juice .. the greenstar juice was more 'foamy' and thick tasting, while the hurom juice was more like it was poured out of a carton. I strained both glasses of juice through a nutbag to make it more even.

And there seemed to be more ejected pulp from the hurom, which doesn't make sense, but it was very dry. But It really was the taste/texture of the juice I found startling. Liked the hurom juice better.

So, the greenstar has made it's way back down to the basement shelf. Will probably bring it back up this winter when I'm doing lots of veggie burgers and such -- but don't know. Am going to try running that stuff through the hurom to homoginize it and see what happens. I already use the hurom to do banana ice cream -- does a great job there - very fast.

If I decide to do any more experiments, I'll let ya know. :)

Good job Terry!!!

I've brought out the greenstar again .... decided it is the BEST when it comes to homogizing nuts for nutloafs, etc. I found the nut mixture got VERY warm when I tried running it through the champion.

Yes, the Greenstar is a little slower, and a little more cumbersome to clean, but the juice doesn't have any pulp in it, and it does a decent job on pretty much everything. Interesting, with the Hurom, the Champion and the Greenstar to choose from, I keep coming back to the Greenstar.
