Old versus New Champion Juicer &amp; Wheatgrass Attachment: Does anyone have comments on the wheatgrass attachment and the new Champion versus an old one?

New one is better. Wheatgrass attachment is a wast if you use it for greens other than wheatgrass.

Don't overload it. The machine makes a kind of death stretch while juicing wheatgrass so keep it light and the juice will flow

Yes, it does work with wheatgrass. However, this machine makes the juicing process awkward and laborious as the suction cup feet continually loses gripping power, causing the machine to move around quite a bit. Also, on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the best and 1 being poor), I would rate the amount of juice extraction a 2.

I have not tried wheatgrass but my opinion is that it will not work as well at all. The wheatgrass is too fine to get efficient juice out of the machine. Unless you load a lot of it in there. You need to buy one with a smaller nozel that will handle the fine leafy consistency of wheatgrass. I juice lager greens like Kale, dandelion greens, and beat greens and it works well. Also works well for celeary and other juice veggies. Carrots I would prefer a jack la lane juice type of machine it's much better, this goes for fruit as well. This machine is not great with fruit it does not extract all the juice you would expect. a lot goes to waste.

Hi The question is how does it compare to the CHAMPION, You need to say what you are trying to compare it to. The Champion Juicer is the best all around juicer period. I will start with carrots, If you look at about any juice book recipe most of the them have carrots in the mix, carrots have a lot of nutrition and healing. I will tell you the Champion will juice carrots with the best of them. Also the Champion will juice any kind of fruit, fresh or frozen. A lot of juicers won't do frozen very well, A Champion Juicer will juice leafy greens. Also the Champion Juicer has a grain mill attachment to make your own flour. I guess what I'am trying to say is a CHAMPION will do anything. The other juicer will leave a stringy pulp in it that you might not like, The Champion will leave pulp to but it masticates it a lot more so its real smooth. I will say this that the other juicer will not make fruit sorbet very good, It does not masticate it very well. When it comes time to clean your juicer the CHAMPION wins by far. The one thing you should be able to tell right away is look at the screen, Its a square screen with a little curve, Three inches by two inches, take a scrub brush and it cleans real easy, the other juicer has a round screen and are harder to clean. I hope this will help you, if you lived close to me I would ask you over and I would show you how easy the CHAMPION is to use and how good of a job it does. JUDITH if you would like to call me I think I could answer your questions a lot better. Go through the customer question process and leave your phone number or email, I live in Indiana. jim

Not terribly bad. I have an Acme juicer (heavy duty) http://www.amazon.com/6001-Juicerator-550-Watt-Extractor-Stainless/dp/B0028RXDFM/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1400894810&sr=1-1&keywords=acme+juicer on my farm and it leaves REALLY dry pulp....BUT....it's more of a hassle to clean. It's an okay juicer. You may also want to check out the Champion juicer http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Commercial-Juicer-in-Black/dp/B000E4C53M which has the ability to run frozen fruit through it for sorbet-like frozen goodies. Heavy duty! At the price point the Breville XL is a decent juicer that is well made, sturdy, and does the job. I am a value shopper so I chose the version with the stainless juicing piece as well as the stainless spigot. I don't trust plastic much in the long run....... The Breville is a nice machine, well designed, heavy grade stainless and produces a good juice with some moisture left in the pulp. Good luck!

I can only compare it to my old Champion juicer, which was such a pain to operate with leafy greens.(the hole was too small and the leaves would make the plunger stick). So by comparison the Breville is AWESOME, I juiced some kale a few days ago and got a decent amount, the pulp was very dry. Have not tried other greens, but imagine it would be efficient.

I think you can juice wheatgrass using the champion with some kind of special attachment, but I don't ...because I just buy and use the world's best IMO barleygrass (denser in nutrients than weatgrass) and LeafGreens (40X more nutritious than barleylife alone, but more expensive). Please visit myaimstore.com/genesis129 and order there. Believe me, it's WELL worth it. Forget juicing at home when you can buy the best at about the same cost across the board. It travels well, too! Only takes 30 seconds for a serving and you're on your way. I've been using it over 10 years.

No experience with Green Star juicer but compared to other masticating juicers the yield is better especially with leafy greens. We have used the juicer daily for two years without any problems and to reiterate what others have said the motor may be overbuilt for juicing and the other components are top quality.

I have the 8008 and I love it I use it for both wheTgrass and juicing. It is very easy to clean I think the 8007 and 8008 mods are very similar because they use the same parts

I have the Omega 8006. I have decided on this juicer for juicing mostly greens. The difference between 8006 and the other models besides the color and pricing, * the 8006 includes a GE Ultem Auger which is 8x stronger than most other plastics. * Powerful gear reduction is equivalent to a 2HP Motor. * comes with a 15 year warranty. Here is a video where the 8005 and 8006 is compared. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r437hboI_U found a video where the 8006,8005, and the vrt 330 is compared juicing wheatgrass !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rchPqw2Z1g

Yea, you can juice just soft fruits/veggies just fine. I made a Wheatgrass and pineapple juice this morning, both softness. I've on many occasions used solely Wheatgrass /other greens. The rrecommendation of using a hard item in conjunction is to make sure there is no clogging. However, it isn't necessary. And if it does clog, not take a less than a minute to rinse out the clog and reattach.

Hello...you have posed a good question, however, I was so excited to order it I did not think about replacement parts. Sorry for my late reply, but I have been looking for the booklet that came with it which should give me information you need. I will keep looking and get back to you if I find it. I LUV the juicer...it is quiet and very efficient. As approved by my nutritionist, the low speed prevents heat that kills the vitamins.

This juicer works great on wheat grass. It produces very dry pulp. We find wheat grass is just too strong for us to drink. We juice kale at the end of juicing a Tablespoon of flax seed, a knuckle of ginger root, followed by apples, celery, beets tops and roots, and carrots. We separate the bitter and very dry kale pulp from all the rest of the fiber to compost. The apple and other fiber we add pomegranate juice to, along with Ceylon (real) cinnamon,a pinch of cloves and some chopped nuts. We mush this into a dough then roll into balls to make raw vegetable "cookies" which are awesome and supply the fiber which gut microbes need to create satisfaction for us in fullness. We drink and eat these raw vegitable cookies each morning and love it ,really love it. Sometime we put a fresh raspberry on top of each one, really better than tollhouse, we follow with about half cup of cooked little red bead with garlic, red onion, and a fewcooked mushrooms since the health benefits of these cooked plantfoods are tremendous for satiation, fighting cancer and longevity. A good site to visit for latest research is NutricianFacts.org(not dot com) Mr Greger at NutricianFacts provides all the lastest research in hundreds of 5 minute videos. We are attempting to grow baby broccoli greens to juice since the research shows they are at least 20 time higher in nutrients than bigger broccoli leaves for juicing,why eat only the flower and waste the leaves. Dr Joel Furhman,of Eat To Live, has also been very helpful in our quest for optimum wellbeing. The best to your health Rachel

Totally with both thumbs up, the Kuvings...I have the red one...or B6000 I don't remember the series. ..but that's the newest version I think. Its slower than others which is a PLUS because it provides more nutrients than any other slow juicer of theirs. I made a research till 4am before I got my Kuvings juicer and I never regret it for a second. Many people say it takes awhile to clean it up but come on, nothing in life comes for free. I adore my juicer and I enjoy it to its fullest! Good luck :) and stay nutritious.

To be honest, I don't know. I've only done wheatgrass in this. I'm thinking though that it would be ok for other leafy greens since it's the auger type of juicer. Good luck to you on that!
