This juicer has the low speed of 110rpm. What is great about this juicer is that it can make wheatgrass juice, herb juices, baby foods, nut butter, pastas, Japanese rice cake or mochi, and other variety of delicious food ideas. The ejected pulp is dry so this means that there is maximum juice extraction. This juicer is easy to clean, assemble and disassemble.

Key Features

Twin Gear Juicers are considered the top-of-the-line of juicing machines. Twin gear juicers are slow and produce no heat therefore preventing oxidation of fresh juices. This kind of juicer is also versatile and can produce juice from almost all types of fruits and vegetables like hard and fibrous ones or soft fruits and even leafy vegetables.

Twin gear juicers produce a high juice yield, higher than all of the other juicers and is therefore ideal for commercial use along with masticating juicers.

Customer Reviews

I am writing this because I had SO much difficulty finding more than a handful of customer reviews online when trying to find a juicer. My family has been juicing for years now with a popular-brand centrifugal juicer. My stepdad was diagnosed with cancer and we started researching the Gerson Therapy. This juicer is NOT recommended for the Gerson Therapy, but their system is so complicated and expensive we decided to compromise. We went with a twin-gear because it’s a much better juicer than a centrifugal but it’s not nearly as much trouble as a 2-stage press system.

Anyway, we love it. We estimate we’re getting twice as much juice per-veggie than we did with the centrifugal juicer. We juice at least 4 times per week (for 3 people) so we’re thinking the price difference will easily be paid in a year just from the savings on produce.

It’s also easier to clean than our old one. The hardest part to clean is the mesh screen… it has some tight corners that the pulp really gets jammed into, but after cleaning it a couple times it gets much faster. The rest of the parts are easy.

I haven’t experienced any of the design flaws that the other reviewer mentioned. I mention that review specifically because it almost talked me out of getting this juicer, but I’m glad I decided to go ahead anyway. No juice has leaked out in any weird areas. The only part of the safety hood on mine that got dirty was the top tray around the feed chute, which is easily rinsed off. Some pulp gets into the area immediately around where the gears attach, but that can be cleaned with a squeeze of water from the sponge and a quick wipe-off. No juice got out any other areas. - Adam Singer

Greenstar Elite GSE-5000 twin screw juicer today….omg so glad we went with the twin screw instead of the Centrifugal juicer as the twin screw has alot higher yield. Made up a batch of juice that will make your head pop off and shoot sparks out of your ears. yuuuumy

Was very worried about cleaning this product as its been said its hard to clean, well I am disabled and within 5 minutes I had it taken apart scrubbed and in the dishwasher…. two thumbs up (( its easy to clean )) Well worth the 500.00 for this juicer that works, unlike paying a hundred or hundreds for other units that produce nothing but headaches! - Christy Fulton

I did a lot of research before buying this juicer, and I’m not disappointed. The juice it creates is plentiful and delicious and it has no trouble juicing a wide variety of fruits and veggies. It is very quiet, easy to assemble, and powerful. For my first batch, I made a wheatgrass, spinach, apple, carrot, cucumber, and celery mix that was amazingly good. Even my husband liked it, even though he thinks I’m a “hippy weirdo” for getting into juicing. 😉 Fair warning: it does take some time to clean…probably 10-12 minutes if you do it right away.

Taking it apart is very easy, and most pieces just need to be rinsed off, but the juicing screen itself takes some diligent scrubbing. The packages comes with an excellent brush that lets you get into all of the nooks and crannies, though. Personally, the cleanup time is worth it when you consider the machine’s strengths: quality and quantity of the juice, power, versatility, etc. - FN LN
