The Green Star Power Juicer is a popular juicer among health enthusiasts, and for a good reason – it produces the most juice and give you some of the highest quality juice of all juicers.
Green Power belongs to twin gear juicers category that have two closely aligned, interlocking gears. As the produce is fed into the gears, it is crushed and pressed to release all the delicious, nutritious juices from the cells. This action is slightly different from the shredding and cutting of the single gear machines.
Compared to centrifugal juicers such as the Breville Elite Juicer or Jack Lalanne’s Power Juicer Pro, twin gear juicers operate at a much lower speed, which ensures maximum retention of nutrients. The oxidation is also kept to a minimum, which allows you to store the juice longer without losing its nutritional benefits. Just think of an apple turning brown after peeling, and this will give you a good idea of the damage caused by oxidation.
Green Power Juicer can extract higher yields of juice from fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, wheatgrass, and herbs than most of centrifugal juicers. It can extract about the same amount of juice from wheatgrass as the wheatgrass-only type of juicers.

The Green Star can handle a wide variety of produce, including carrots, wheat grass, leafy greens, fibrous vegetables, fruits, and nuts. But Green Star juice extractor is more than just a juicer. It does a great job homogenizing baby foods, making nut butters, pie crusts, pates from nuts and vegetables, ice creams, frozen fruit sorbets and many have optional or included attachments for making pasta, bread sticks, and rice cakes.
This machine crushes the food then presses it into a dry pulp squeezing nearly every drop of juice out of almost anything. No sharp blades, no hidden nooks and crannies. It dis-assembles and re-assembles quickly and easily. It also has an advangage of being quiet – a big benefit if you (or someone in your household) are sensitive to noise.
The downside of a twin gear nmachine is that it takes more time to juice with a twin gear juicer than a centrifugal juicer. You’ll need more strenght too, as you have to push the produce down the chute with some force. Another disadvantage is the fact that the Green Star Juicer is one of the most difficult juicers to clean. So, if you don’t mind some extra time to spend juicing and caring for your juicer, then the Green Power Juicer may be a great choice for you.
Green Power Juicer Models
There are several models of Green Star Power Juicer, Green Star 1000, 2000 and 3000, which are basically the same juicers – only the accessories and prices are different (you will have to pay about 400-530$ depending on the model). For example, the Green Star GS-1000 Basic Juicer and Food Processor has all the basic juicing and food processing equipment. Some accessories which are not frequently used have been excluded so it costs less (about $400 on Amazon).
The newest model is the Green Star Elite Model GSE-5000, which is said to feature new jumbo twin gears, higher yields, new safety systems, a sleek design, a lighter weight, easier cleanup and increased versatility. The new Green Star Elite incorporates a new three-stage juicing process that surpasses other juicers in juice yield and versatility, allowing juice quality to be preserved for 72 hours in storage.
Should you buy a Green Juicer?
Green Power Juicer is certainly an excellent choice if you have the extra time juicing. However, if you don’t have time or patience, consider getting a different juicer. If you are someone that needs to juice and get out the door, you may want to think about a centrifugal juicer like the Breville Juice Fountain Elite or more compact Breville Juice Fountain. Both do well on greens and are some of the most efficient and solid centrifugal juicers on the market today.

Green Juicer Demos
This is a good video showing all the components of this machine, so you will know what you are getting into 
.
Here is a video demonstration for you of juicing with Green Power juicer. The guy doing the demo adds some “super food” to the juice at the end – I don’t know why you would want to do that – but other than that it’s a good video to see if you are still on the fence whether to get a Green juicer or not.
