My second juicer was Samson 6-in-1 Juice Extractor, it’s a good machine but my only complaint is the stains accumulated in the auger. I’m glad to see that it’s been addressed in the latest version of Samson’s masticating juicer lineup. Samson Advanced Juicer is equipped with durable Ultem auger and Ultem juicing screen. No more staining this time plus the warranty is now at par with Omega juicers.
This machine is a single auger masticating juice extractor which slowly squeezes the produce at 80 RPM maximizing juice yield and at the same time minimizes oxidation. This slow juicing process produces allow the juice to preserve its nutrients, vitamins, and enzymes which can last 3 days if stored properly. Other than juicing you might also find its non-juicing functions helpful if you feel like making a home made ice cream, grinding coffee, glutinous rice cakes, etc, depending on the nozzle that you are using.
It comes with an adjustable pressure control to maximize the juice yield, the higher the number the more pressure that is built up. Setting #1 should be used for softer fruits, setting #2 for most items and setting #3 is good for wheatgrass, pine tree needles and leafy greens.

Features & Product Details
Is it Easy to Use?
Based on personal experience, Samson juicers are very easy to operate and assemble. It will just take a few minutes. The feeding chute is only 1.5 inches in diameter so you’ll have to precut your produce into small pieces to fit on a small opening, plus you don’t want to jam your juicer. You will need to place some pressure on the food with the pusher to help it feed into the auger properly, it’s not self feeding. Just remember not to overload it otherwise it will stop working but fear not, you can use the reverse button in situations like this.
Is it Easy to Clean?
The detachable parts of this juice extractor are top rack dishwasher safe. Wash them on the low temperature setting. Skip the high heat drying cycle as this may warp the plastic parts. Otherwise, you might consider cleaning up the parts by hand, then just allow it to air-dry. To make things easier just make sure to clean your juicer as soon as you’re done using it. Letting it sit for a few hours will harden the pulp in the juicing screen.
Juice Quality
Slow juicers separates pulp from the juice in a slow manner, almost similar to the way we chew. This slow juicing process maximizes yield and preserves high amount of nutrients and enzymes in your juice which you can store for 72 hours. With fast juice extractors, you only have 24 hours before the juice spoils. It’s highly advisable to drink your juice right away but if you want to take advantage of the maximum shelf life, use an airtight glass container when storing it in your refrigerator.
What Kinds of Produce Can it Juice?
This machine can process all kinds of produce such as soft fruits, hard veggies, citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables, soy beans and almond nuts.
Hard produce include asparagus, coconut, pumpkin, cilantro, carrots, apple, ginger, cucumber, beets, garlic, celery, watermelon, bitter gourd, sweet potato, cauliflower, yakon, pineapple, turmeric, pear, fennel, pepper and broccoli.
Soft fruits such as tomato, pomegranate, mango, avocado, blackberry, grapes, peach, cranberries, kiwifruit, melon, strawberry, and papaya can be turned into a puree using the low pressure setting.
Leafy greens include parsley, lettuce, peppermint, brussels sprout, spring onion, collard greens, basil, dandelion greens, pine tree needles, wheatgrass, kale, spinach, cabbage, moringa and beet greens.
Citrus fruits like grapefruit, lemon, lime, orange, tangerine and mandarin.
You can also make soy and almond milk provided that you soak your nuts or beans overnight.
These nozzles transforms your Samson juicer into a multipurpose machine.
Non-Juicing Functions
These complimentary nozzles along with the mincing cone can help you make pasta and noodles, grind coffee, make a home made ice cream, mince seasonings, and prepare ingredients for glutinous rice cakes.
Mincing Seasoning
Process basic seasonings such as onion, garlic, ginger and pepper for making sauces or simply if you need a hand on chopping or mincing.
Making Ice Cream
Choose fresh fruits, cut them into pieces and store them in the refrigerator. Then make a sorbet or fruit shake by adding yogurt, some milk and sugar to your heart’s content.
Grinding Coffee Beans
You can grind coffee beans (5 to 6 pieces at a time) using the mincing cone and the mincing nozzle. Some coffee beans (especially gourmet coffees) have higher oil content, this have to be dried overnight for easier processing.
Making Noodles, Pasta, & Bread Sticks
All the nozzles and mincing cone can be used to make pasta of varying shapes and sizes, you can choose between a flat or a round noodle. Nozzles with larger opening can be used to form bread sticks. The bad news is you still have to prepare your dough.
Making Rice Cake
You can make glutinous rice cake, cakes made of artemisia paste, and stir-fried rice cake by grinding cooked rice at home. Add grounded beans and rice powder to add variety to it and I’m quite sure kids will enjoy these glutinuous treat. You can also try this on your cheat day 🙂
Verdict
Samson Advanced Juicer is an affordable and powerful masticating juicer that can go head to head with Omega. It can process all types of produce and also offers other non-juicing functions as mentioned above. In addition, it’s easy to use, easy to clean and provides a long warranty coverage which is not common among other brands. If you’re serious about juicing and if you’re looking for a budget friendly masticating juicer, without any doubt Samson Advanced juicer is the way to go.
