Omega VSJ843 vs Tribest Shine

I have an Omega VSJ843 and I love it. It’s so easy to clean and you don’t have to chop food up too small. It’s also very efficient and has been shown to extract more juice than others in some side by side comparisons.

Was great with apples and carrots but the next day I tried celery and spinach And had to clean out the basket twice even though I cut the vegetables up small enough and followed all the directions. The hole that lets the pulp out of the sieve is very small so gets clogged up and the pulp backs up into the basket. I wanted some thing that I could make my juice fresh every morning but I couldn’t even imagine having to deal with this every day! Item was returned after three days of trying.

Being an engineer by training, I did extensive research on which juicer to buy. I'd like to share why I chose this one, and it's pros and cons -- so that I can hopefully save some of you some time. My two biggest criteria for selection were: #1- The juicer had to extract the MAXIMUM JUICE from the food, and #2 - The juice had to be EASY TO CLEAN. I figured that if the juicer was not easy to clean, I would not use it

My advice: if you already know you love juicing, and you're sure you want to commit to it, skip right to buying one of the high-end expensive units.

The result is a better juice than I got with the centrifuge type. More juice and less wet pulp. So far so good. I will update in a month or so to see if I am still as happy maybe put another star or take a star away

I do know that my old Omega centrifugal juicer can't do this job at all - it prefers carrots. So anyway, I got 6 cups of juice from those 3 pounds of marionberries, including a quarter-cup from running the seeds-pulp through again. It went very quickly, much faster than putting them thru a blender to get puree, and then hand-straining the puree thru a fine sieve to get the seeds out - which wastes a lot of juice and is a pain in the butt, literally - usually takes me a good 30-45 minutes that seems much longer. This went in about 15 minutes, no straining (again, literally), and I got about 25% more juice than doing it by blender and hand

I have been juicing centrifuge for over 40 yrs and I am healthy. I have a $600 Champion masticating do not use it 4 same reason as this juicer I returned.

I cut the celery into thin pieces about 1/2-1" and it goes right through with hardly a need to plunge it. Then I make my green juice using cut-up fruits/vegs: parsley, burdock root, apples, asparagus ends, cucumbers, and whatever else I have, finishing with celery to clean it all out. This little juicer loves making melon juice from the rind, too; that's where the best nutrition is (in the rinds and stems of f&v's), so don't discard your stems! I love teaching others how to juice for healing and just love Tribest's variety of quality products. Being a new product, there are a few kinks to be worked out in design, and knowing me, I'll let them know
