Super Angel 5500 Twin Gear Juicer Review

This twin gear juicer juices almost anything from carrot and apples to wheatgrass and spinach. It is not limited to just regular juicing but you can enjoy soy milk and delicious tofu. The revolutionary, all stainless steel design incorporates a twin gear impeller press system that powerfully rotates at a low 82 rpm (the most ideal speed), that can keep all enzymes and nutrients alive in the juice. Super Angel Juicer is perfect for wheat grass, barley grass, leafy greens, herbs and sprouts. There is no pulp adjustment required with this juicer. It can extract one liter of carrot juice in approximately 5 minutes.

Surgical grade all stainless casing, advanced cooling system, electromagnetic wave technology, and all the precision work make this juicer expensive. To justify the price this technology along with a plastic-free casing and parts ensures maximum enzyme and nutrient retention.

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.

Still love this juicer after a year of daily juicing. With that said I’ll go on to address the one rather big negative. Like others have reported, it is hard to keep the screen openings clean, especially if you make carrot juice frequently like I do. After 6 months of heavy use (6-10 juices a day, half of which were carrot), my screen was almost completely plugged. [Note: I never left the juicer sitting dirty after juicing; it was always cleaned immediately and completely. There is just no way to reach into the fine openings themselves.] I tried soaking it in all kinds of solutions-no luck-so I bit the bullet and bought a replacement screen unit for $200. Ouch.

After another 6 months, I was facing the same situation again, and was debating whether to replace it for a second time or just go get a different juicer when my husband came up with a remedy out of his tool box: a small, long-handled scratch brush with fine stainless steel bristles. This works incredibly well to clean both the screen and the twin gears. The fine bristles can be worked gently into the holes to aid in cleaning. It probably sounds like a lot of work, but it took only about 10 minutes to clean each of the plugged screens, and they now look brand new. I use the nylon bristled brush that came with the juicer for routine cleaning and then use the stainless steel brush periodically when the screen holes start showing some buildup. The stainless steel brush seems to work best when the screen is dry. Brush details: 3×7 rows, .003″ stainless steel bristles, long plywood handle (12-13″). - M. Macdougall

We received it a few days ago and IMMEDIATELY we were blown away by the performance of the machine. The pulp was dry, assembly is a breeze and cleaning up is just as easy as the Omega 8003 (tons easier to clean than the Green Star). OH! And, in previous reviews, many people were complaining about the plastic containers Super Angel gives you for juice collection… This isn’t the case anymore! My Super Angel came with a 32 oz Pyrex glass container. Couldn’t be happier. The juice tastes phenomenal and we are getting every drop of juice and nutrients possible. Super Angel juice yield is higher than the Green Star and certainly higher than any single-gear or centrifugal juicer. You may pay more for this machine, but you are going to be getting more out of each vegetable and fruit. Totally worth it. - Monique Hairston

I had bought a Breville after watching “Fat,Sick and nearly Dead” (great documentary that inspired me tremendously) but I wish I had not bought the Breville because now that I understand the differences better, I would never had bought it and I kinda feel guilty giving it to my mom even for free because the quality and quantity of the juice seems inferior in my opinion based on what I have tasted and seen and it will cost more in money and health in the long run. The angel is definitely worth the money; however, if you can’t afford one or don’t want to spend the money, then I think you’d be better off just eating your fruits and vegetables rather than wasting money on making inferior quality juice. A couple of European guys did an amazing video on youtube comparing the angel vs the omega vert, and another guy did a comparison between omega vert vs Breville. Summary, the omega vert blew away the Breville especially the tomato demo, and angel blew away the omega vert. I promise this is my honest opinion and have no connections to any of these manufacturers. - Sirskoal2011
