Product Description
Healthy Juicer, the affordable manual wheatgrass juicer Features & SpecificationsThe Healthy Juicer is the easiest, most efficient and most affordable manual wheatgrass juicer available Most people know about the extensive health benefits of juicing, but nobody enjoys the process of setting up the juicer and worst of all, cleaning up afterwards.The Healthy Juicer is rugged, efficient, and best of all, easy to use and clean! Designed to handle leafy greensThere are two types of juicers on the market today. Centrifugal and masticating (meaning to crush and squeeze). The main benefit of a masticating juicer is that it crushes the fruits and vegetables as opposed to shredding them as your average centrifugal juicer does. This process of crushing and squeezing extracts more juice and also has less heat build up than from the high speed at which centrifugal juicers work, which destroys the enzymes and other vital nutrients. The Healthy Juicer produces a healthier juice!Have you ever tried to juice leafy vegetables such as parsley, spinach or even cabbage in a centrifugal juicer? A good portion of it is wasted and just passes through as these juicers do not have any crushing ability. Vegetables are expensive today, especially organic ones. Why throw your money away by not extracting as much juice and nutrients as possible from them?The specially designed auger easily accepts pieces of fruits and vegetables and has tremendous crushing power.Durable stainless steel inserts on the end cap and tip of the auger where the most force on the crushing is exerted, will last many years without wearing out.The Healthy Juiceris more efficient at juicing wheatgrass.

Big Juice from Little Juicer May 10, 2008

My kids and I love this juicer. It's very high quality, and super easy to clean. It's also kid friendly. They love turning the handle and watching the juice come out. The base holds strong, so much that we don't need the clamp. We juiced our garden lettuce and greens with ease.
 No problems with the little juicer that could April 20, 2008

I have been using this juicer now for about a month and a half with no problems. Now, I haven't been juicing vegetables, just wheatgrass and spinach. I use my omega for other veggies. That said, the healthy juicer is easy to use, easy to setup and clean and and leaves dry waste coming out, so it's juicing to the max. The DVD is nice in learning how to use it properly and the extra parts are a nice added value feature. For the price and the value, why not try it! I suppose an electric one would be nice, but for a few moments of cranking, I'd rather keep it simple. Buy this one!
 works good, but breaks easy April 15, 2008

been using this one for a couple years on wheatgrass only. Handle just cracked from cranking too hard. I'm going to look for metal version. Otherwise, works petty good and grass is not heated too much, thereby keeping the valuable enzimes in tact, unlike electric machines.

This juicer is good, i wouldn't go as far to say great. The pulp is soggy and the unit leaks a bit. The turning handle hits the C-Clamp as you are cranking and the juice spout is in an akward spot. On the other hand it is very affordable and does do it's job at juicing the wheatgrass. PLUS GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! Mine came with a cracked juice cup and they just shipped me a new one, no questions asked!!

Got this juicer yesterday. I've only used it once, but I tried apples, carrots, celery, spinach, and tomatoes. I didn't have any trouble turning the handle for any of these things (I did cut the carrots in half though). Everything else juiced easily. It didn't get all of the juice out of the tomatoes, but I just scooped up the pulp and ran it through again. I also had to crank the handle back and forth a few times to get the juice from the spinach (no biggie). In all it only took a couple minutes for a glass of juice. I didn't have any leaks.
I used the suction cup, which worked really well (I was surprised by this actually, wasn't expecting it to work). I do agree that the handle is a bit to close to the base. If I had to use the clamp there would be much extra room. I know a lot of people were complaining about the clamp being to big and having to open their dishwasher to have a place to clamp it. Unfortunately, I don't think there's really another option, so I don't consider that a valid complaint.
It was a snap to put together (took a couple minutes). Now I can take it apart, clean it, and reassemble it in about two minutes. It's really a simple machine.
In all, I really can imagine a better juicer. I was looking at those expensive $400 dollar electric juicers, but as I couldn't spend that much I opted for this one. I don't really know why you would need an electric now. This one is so light weight and portable. It makes no noise at all. I control the speed and direction of things. And I get a little exercise while juicing (is the point of juicing to get healthier? May as well get a little physical activity with it). So, while there may be a couple design issues that could be better, it's really the best juicer I could imagine (at least short of something with a hydraulic press and grinder that would probably cost a couple grand).
So buy this thing already.
