Green Power Juicer - KPE 1304

I have owned several juicers over the years including Acme, Champion, and Juiceman II. Since the latter was what I replaced with the Green Power I will use it to make my comparison. The Juiceman is a good middle of the road juicer but we decided to upgrade when my wife became ill. We wanted one that could juice wheatgrass, and provided a better quality juice than the Juiceman. After researching we went with the Green Power.Pro: the Green Power does provide a better quality juice. The pulp is much drier, the juice keeps longer, and it does a pretty fair job with wheatgrass. The Juiceman produces a wetter pulp and will not juice wheatgrass.Con: not easy to clean. The Juiceman takes about two minutes and you're done, the Green power has more parts, smaller screens and just takes longer. Also,the juicer itself needs to be cleaned where the twin screws attach. Complicated. If you want carrot apple juice you have to replace screens in the middle of juicing. The Juiceman juices fruits and vegetables without the need to change screens. The Green Power requires taking off the vegetable screen and replacing it with a fruit screen. This is messy and time consuming, plus it doesn't do a great job with fruit. Pulpy. The Green Power juice is very pulpy no matter how much you tighten down the pulp adjustor. A strainer is advised.One other issue I have with the Green Power is it occasionally will spurt juice and pulp up through the feeder tube if you are juicing wet vegetables like cucumbers. So the juicer and counter have a nice coating of juice and pulp. Having said all this, the quality of the juice may well overide all these other issues and I may find some of them are correctable over time (I've been using the Green Power for a couple of months).

This is my second juicer, my first was a cerntrifical that could not do wheat grass. The Green Power is awesome, It can juice everyting and the clean up is not hard. I like the slow process that makes less froth. The company shipped on time and everyting was as listed on the amazon website.

I made a mistake when I ordered. I thought it was an upgrade of my 12 year old Green Power Juicer. It is not. The rollers are very small, the pulp is not dry. It does not grab the greens as the real Green Power did. This is a knock off I believe and advertised as the Green Power. I returned this juicer. Look for the Green Star which is really the old Green Power upgraded. They charged me a 15% restocking fee and the return shipping was $60+. Overall an expensive experiment.

This product has the wrong type of plug for Australia. Why did you send it knowing it was for the Australian market.

This machine is great for an educated consumer, who knows what he/she is looking for.Unfortunately, I didn't have enough information about juicers when I purchased this juicer.(masticatory versa cenrtifugal) That's why I made a mistake and returned it. I got the One Gear juicer instead. If you want the best for your vegetable juices, that preserve the most amount of nutrients and get the driest pulp-this is the juicer to buy. My juicer came with no instructions on the right way to juice, on how slow its going to be, on how you have to cut everything in small pieces and be prepared to spend a long time to make a juice out of it and on cleaning and re-assembling. If you know all of this in advance, you know whether you want to deal with it for the sake of nutrition or not. Again, mine came with no explanations. I would love to have it, but I got another, a little cheaper one, that I have to make do for the time being.

I bought this juicer a year ago. Slowly one of the twin gears started to disintegrate. Called customer service to inquire about warranty or replacement, but when dialing the number they give you, they tell you to leave a message, then let you know the mailbox is full. No way to reach customer service, very disappointing!!

I've had this juicer for a few months and it is used about 5 times a week. The juice is clear and delicious--I make a combination of carrot, celery, beet, ginger and a rotation of greens. Even the fact that one has to use a little muscle to push down the carrots is very satisfying. Cleaning the juicer is not at all difficult with the cleaning brush that comes with it. All in all, I am extremely pleased with it and would highly recommend it. Also I had to communicate with Kitchen's Best several times and their very pleasant and professional attitude was very refreshing.

not fun to clean and did not do a good job for me

Instructions were very poor. Obviously they were translated from another language. I couldn't follow them at first until I deciphered the diagrams.Once understood, the juicer worked fairly well except that when I tried to juice an apple, the pulp was deposited into the juice container. There was no indication as to whether you could put apple with core (including seeds) into the hopper. Much more detailed instructions, written in standard English, are required. It is very inconvenient to have to switch the equipment around when you switch to juicing another type of produce. Machine is tedious to use and to clean. No fun! Taste of juice was acceptable.

Love this juicer and it's so easy to clean. Works like a charm

Amazing product.
