Alright!
This is John Kohler at discount juicers.com; today we have another exciting episode for
you.
And before we get into the episode I want to remind everybody if you enjoy my videos

Now todays episode what we are going to do, we are going to do a juice off comparison
between the top two vertical single auger juicers on the market at this time.
You know there are a lot of different vertical juicers on the market at this time and virtually
all of them, except these two the ones I have on table, are the first generation which means
they have a hole in the bottom of the screen which basically means that the juicer is going
to clog up and jam more.
So this is the new design and actually the Slow Star juicer had it first where they eliminated
the hole at the bottom of the screen so this drastically reduces the amount of, you know
blockages, stoppages, backing up that you get.
So this is the Tri- Best Slow Star that we'll be demoing today and this is the Omega VSJ843.
Now each of these juicers have their pros and cons.
I'm not really going to get into that in this video; I have other videos I'll put a link
down below where I get into more of a comparison between these two.
But what I want to do you for you guys today is actually do a juice off test to show you
which is the fastest slow juicer.
Now is that an oxymoron the fastest slow juicer?
So you know I really encourage you guys to purchase a slow juicer when you are considering
buying a juicer.
You know, the most popular juicer style even to this day is a high speed centrifugal injection
style machine that can run in excess of 10,000+ RPM's.
And with the higher RPM's there’s basically more oxidative damage done to the juice you
are creating.
In fact in a recent scientific published study it states that a juice with a high speed juicer
or juice, or a blended mixture made with a blender has 50% less cancer fighting, you
know, ability than juice made in a slow juicer.
So I don’t know about you but I want this cancer fighting ability.
There’s furious people, there’s compassionate people, there’s all kinds of people in the
world that are getting cancer all the time and it's in my opinion, because they're eating
a diet that’s poor in vito-chemicals and vito-nutrients, things that are anti-cancer.
So it’s been identified that things like the allium or garlic and onion family and
even things like the cruciferous family like kale and the broccoli, cauliflower, kohlrabi,
bok choy, collard greens you know these are anti-cancer foods and that’s what I want
you guys to eat and its the juicer that allows you to literally take a whole pitcher of kale,
organic kale here and crank that through the juicer and get all that juice out.
And we're going to learn which one is the fastest.
For those of you guys who don’t have a lot of time to screw around prepping, chopping,
cutting, you know all this stuff before you juice right.
And so what we are going to juice today, we simply got equal amounts of produce on each
side.
We have 7.9 ounces of celery, next we have 23.4 ounces of carrots, and then finally we
have 8.3 ounces of kale.
And so that’s what we are going to be juicing today.
You know I always like to do a base of carrots to get the beta-keratin the pro-vitamin A
in my juices plus the carrots are a really colorful orange pigment and Dr. Max Gerson
who came up with the Gerson therapy which is a therapy that is a protocol used against
cancer and incurable diseases where medical doctors say you got to go home and you’re
not going to make it, he features carrots and apples in that recipe so I feel carrots
are very important so it’s important for me that a juicer will juice the carrots well.
So before we get into juicing I want to show you guys some important information that the
factories that make these juicers recommend so I mean the factory on the Omega side recommends
that you cut the produce into 1 inch or 1-1/2 inch pieces depending on the produce item,
right.
And over on the Slow Star juice side they say this is the first whole slow juice because
you don’t even have to chop up things.
The celery has these long fibrous strands that normally will clog up vertical single
auger juicers like without problems and you know the Tri-best company says its not a problem
you can just juice 'em whole, so that’s what I'm going to do in this video and show
you guys how it works and if one clogs up, one doesn’t, we'll know.
Now it’s also important besides pre-cutting the vegetables which is recommended for best
results.
We're not going to do it in this test because I want to see what happens.
They also recommend you rotate the produce you're putting through.
So don't put all the carrots through, then all the celery and all the leafy greens that’d
be really not a good idea.
You want to put a handful of the kale, you know maybe some of the celery, and then some
of the carrots, and then some of the kale, some of the celery, some of the carrots and
just repeat that process.
So now we are going to go ahead and get started, we're going to go ahead and juice in the Slow
Star juicer.
We're going to go ahead and hit the start button on here and as soon as I hit start
I'm going to get juicing.
Oh, alright!
......Juicing Alright so there you have it I juiced in the
Slow Star juicer and it looks like you guys have been watching this whole time, it's the
3 minutes and 26 seconds approximately.
I’m going to hit stop and hit the reset button there and you know it worked fairly
well I didn’t stop up I just rotated the items I was putting through.
Now it’s very important to realize that I was not using a pusher I do not encourage
you guys to use a pusher to push things in because you do not want to overfeed things
into the juicer and push things in too fast.
I generally like to just set the carrot in and let it chunk off and basically accept
it and self-feed at its own rate.
This is the fastest way to have it work properly, you could try to push it in too fast and then
it’s like you try to stuff more food in your mouth when its already full, not a good
idea.
I always like to let the juicer run just a few more seconds after we're done like we
did.
It looks like the pulp is still flowing out continuously there’s not pulp jams or clogs
or you know backing up like there may be on inexpensive vertical juicers cause this is
one of the top of the line ones.
Go ahead and turn that off, we’ll tip this up, get some of the juice out there and now
we're going to go ahead and juice in the Omega VSJ the same way I did in the Slow Star.
Alright we're off!
.......Juicing Alright so there we have it we juiced finished
in the VSJ, we're going to go ahead and, oh man, so alright I had some issues with the
stop watch there but were at like basically 5 minutes I was funking with this for about
30 seconds so were like at 4 and a half minutes so that’s at least a minute more in the
VSJ843 than the Slow Star juicer, so it took a whole extra minute.
And I don’t know if guys noticed but I was having to deal with the on and off switch
to back up and forward to reverse a clog that we're getting with the carrots.
You know although these machines both run under 50 RPM's the Slow Star juicer has a
much more powerful motor because it powered through all of the carrots without any stopping
without any hassle and the VSJ843 stopped because it just doesn’t have enough torque
to torque through and crush and squeeze the carrot juice out.
So I guess next what we want to do is go ahead, go ahead and compare the yields.
We're going to go ahead a tip the VSJ up a little bit to see if we got anymore juice
in there which actually there is none so that’s good.
We're going to go ahead and bring this front and center for you guys and we're going to
go ahead and see which one actually made more juice.
As you guys can see we’ve got both these guys lined up side by side.
As you guys can see on the Slow Star side we got 600mL of juice and over on the Omega
VSJ side we have 625mL of juice.
SO as you guys just saw the VSJ actually made 25mL more of juice which is approximately
4% more juice.
Now the VSJ also took an extra minute and you know a half or so and that’s actually
27% more time.
So it’s an increase of 4% yield worth 27% you know more in time in spending fumbling
with the juicer, the reverse, the on/off switch you know only you guys can answer that question.
You know the other thing I want to point out is the Slow Star besides being a juicer it
also has additional features of being able to homogenize, make frozen fruit sorbets,
so you can get ice creams, make your own nut butters at home, make your own salsas, process
you know, coffee into coffee grounds.
The homogenized attachment is really beneficial.
Also the Slow Star also costs less than the Omega VSJ843 so in this test although the
VSJ actually made a little bit more juice I'm going to have to declare the clear winner
the Slow Star juicer because it is the fastest slow juicer out there that I've tested.
I hope you guys enjoyed this episode.
