The Green Star GS1000 juicer is for people who are serious about juicing. Even though it is one of the cheaper Green Star models it is much more expensive than centrifugal and masticating juicers. This machine is a twin gear juice extractor which typically cost the most.

So is spending hundreds of dollars on one of these machines a good idea? This review will discuss what the GS-1000 can do. Whether this machine is right for you is a personal decision you will have to make. For round about the same price, you could buy a Breville BJE200XL centrifugal juicer and an Omega J8006 masticating juicer.

Veteran juice makers, like myself, often tend to prefer this kind of machine. Especially if you want to juice leafy greens. The GS-1000 is a great choice for people that want to regularly juice things like spinach and kale. Part of the sales pitch for these machines is that they operate at slower speeds than both centrifugal (e.g. Breville BJE200XL review) and masticating juicers. This is said to cause less oxidation which means you should be able to ingest more of the nutrients of the fruit and vegetables that you juice. While this arguement seems reasonable, how do we really know? What impresses me about this machine is not the lack of nutrient oxidation but rather the juice yield that you get. Another plus point for the Green Star GS-1000 is that it can be used to juice wheatgrass. This means that you do not need a specialized wheatgrass only juicer.

The down side to twin gear juicers is that they have more parts than other cheaper machines. This means that assembly, disassembly and cleaning will all take longer. A further drawback is the cost. This machine typically costs over $400 USD.

For those who want to juice harder vegetables such as carrots as well as make fruit juices, a cheaper centrifugal or masticating juicer may be a better option. However for serious juice makers who are keen to make lots of green juices from leafy greens, a twin gear juicer such as the Green Star GS-1000 may be the best option.

If you want to buy a Green Star GS-1000 for the lowest price online then you should compare prices with Amazon. This is a great place to start your search for the best priced juicers.
