I was thinking of sticking with my Jack Lalanne for now, and adding a hand crank greens juicer, like the healthy juicer (http://www.healthyjuicer.com) for only about $50. Of course... if I run across an amazing deal on craigslist, I'll snatch up an Omega, Champion, GreenStar, but until then, this might work out :)

The Omega juicers have that design similar to what RawTastic mentioned: the parts are all on the outside. It's great for wheatgrass, too, which saves money on having to buy another juicer for that. And it expels all the pulp very simply which makes composting even easier than it already is.

I have tasted juices from the Green Star and it was amazing. I'm also looking for a good deal for this juicer on craigslist. I have a vitamix and it's great. But I want to juice wheatgrass, etc.

I don't have a green star but I have used one and they do work much better than my champion.

I really have no experience with juicers other than my centrifuge style cheapo that can't do my leafy greens properly - you really get what you pay for when it comes to quality machines! I'm trying to be patient and hold out for a deal (like on craigslist or garage sale or trade) but I really want to be able to juice my greens... NOW... my Vitamix has been great for smoothies (spinach, pear, romaine) but I'm craving kale and parsley can't wait to drink - not chew - my juice! Thanks All for your feedback

Never heard of it but would love to.. we have a champion juicer.. would like to get a Green Star but still not sold.
Right now we blend our leafy greens in the vitamix and then run them through the Champion. Works great. just a little more work. We bought our Champion on craigslist for $50 bucks.

I heard Hippocrates sells a juicer that doesn't even need cleaning that it has parts on the outside. I was wondering if anyone had tried it or heard reviews on it..

I LOVE my Omega 8003. Very low RPM, truly masticcates the food rather than the centrifuge style. SUPER easy to clean, and also great for wheatgrass and lots of other stuff.

I am not familiar with the Green Star juicers, sorry! I am by no means trying to change your mind, as it sounds like you have done your research. I know the Omega 8003 and 8005 models are virtually the same except for the exterior esthetics (The 8005 - about $50 more - is metallic rather than the traditional plastic).

Good luck!

...just gotta say, that I'm happy with my "typo" - it was supposed to have been "FANATICS" but I wrote "FANTASTICS" instead...
