Reddit mentions of Green Star Elite"CHROME-COLORED Twin Gear Masticating Juicer PLUS FREE SOFT FRUIT KNOB- Model GSE-5050

My first juicer:

Breville 800JEXLhttps://www.amazon.com/Breville-800JEXL-Fountain-1000-Watt-Extractor/dp/B0002VAFVG

But the high speed really oxidizes the juice and doesn't extract as much. Great if you want to juice 100 apples or 20 heads of celery quickly. But for quality, it leaves a lot to be desired.

My second juicer:

Omega J8006https://www.amazon.com/Omega-J8006-Dual-Stage-Masticating-Revolutions/dp/B001L7OIVI/

Worked well for me for a number of years, but didn't handle some greens very well. After following Lou Corona and making his lemon ginger blast every day, I upgraded one more time.

My *last* juicer:

Tribest GSE-5050 "Green Star Elite"https://www.amazon.com/Green-CHROME-COLORED-Masticating-Juicer-GSE-5050/dp/B075TFHVPH/

I find it makes the best juice, especially for greens (parsley, cilantro, kale, spinach, chard, etc). It's not great if you're only trying to juice, say, apples or oranges. For citrus, I used a $70 citrus press. For apples, I will use the Green Star but the apples should be pretty crisp and I may help move things along with a stalk of celery.

Yeah, it's pricey, but if you're serious about your juice and will make it a life-long habit, then it will be a good investment.

Lou Corona's Lemon Ginger Blast

• 1 lemon
  
• 1-3" ginger
  
• 1-3" turmeric
  
• 1/2 to 1 habanero (or omit and sprinkle in a quality cayenne powder to the final drink)
  
• 1 apple (use green (granny smith) if you're fighting candida)
  
• 1 cucumber
  
• 1 head celery
  
• 1 bunch parsley (helps clean the blood)
  
• 1 bunch cilantro (helps remove heavy metals)
  
• 1 bunch mint (essential oils, good for digestion)
  
• WATER: cut final mixture with 1/3 water; helps the body absorb the rest
  
  The original lemon ginger blast can be made in a blender if that's all you have:
  
  
• 1 lemon
  
• 1 to 3" ginger
  
• 1 habanero (or omit and add quality cayenne powder to the final drink)
  
• about 3 cups quality water
  
  .. then blend all ingredients in a Vitamix, strain and drink.
