is the fagor 670041650 slow juicer a masticating juicer

I believe it is supposed to be, but SO much fiber gets thru...I have to use a metal screen sieve which kinda defeats the purpose, right?

Yes, it is like most other "masticating" juicer (since it does use any high-speed blades to shred the fruit pulp, nor any centrifuge to extract the liquid juice afterward) It more or less squeezes the pulp slowly (as if masticating the pulp) then forces the mashed pulp past a metal screen to enable the fluid juice to be separated out and into the collection tube.

I have a masticating juicer. It is true it will get slightly more juice out of Kayle. The only problem with the masticating juicer is that it will not juice other vegetables and fruits. Also the masticating juicer is extremely difficult to clean and a lot more money. Personally I think juicing should be made as easy as possible. It's a lot of work to buy the fruits and vegetables wash them and then Juice them. I don't have time to operate and clean two machines. Unless you only want to use Kayle I would not buy masticating juicer.

Hi Adam S. The Breville 800JEXL Elite is not a masticating juicer. I have owned this model of centrifugal juicer for over 2 years. While I am more than satisfied with the quality of juice it produces and with its performance, I have recently decided to change to a masticating juicer. The Breville, and most centrifugal juicers, juice your veggies and fruits at very high RPMs (1500), which I have read destroys many of the valuable enzymes in fruits and veggies. The masticating juicers, on the other hand, juices your fruits and veggies at 80 RPMs. This lower RPM supposedly avoids "oxidizing" the juice of your fruits and veggies, unlike the centrifugal type of juicer, thus preserving the integrity of those valuable enzymes/nutrients. I don't know if this is true, as there is so much hype out there on the Internet. But it sounds good to me, and right now I can afford to buy another juicer. After spending a lot of time researching masticating juicers, I am leaning toward the Omega J8006. It has a dual auger, which I have read is the best method to juice with a masticating juicer. Reviews for the Omega J8006 are great, and I can live with the cons. (Cons mostly consist of having to cut down in size your veggies before juicing. I don't have a problem spending a little extra time with cutting up the veggies before putting them down the shute. It doesn't seem like much of con to me.) Good luck with your research in selecting a juicer. If this will be your first, you're in for a positive change in your health, regardless of your selection (centrifugal vs. masticating). Juicing is great!

Hello, yes, it's both faster and pulpier. It also puts less strain on the juicer. It's a nice addition.

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.

Yes it is the exact same juicer. If you go to his website you'll find a suggested guide for juicers based upon your juicing level

It will. My only problem with this juicer is that it is centrifugal. It generates more waste than a masticating juicer. When I bought it, I wasn't aware of the 2 different types. After just a few uses, I bought an Omega masticating juicer and love it!

So sorry ... I do not know. Did you get an amazing price for it? It may be too late; but, I do not do not like mine. It has been a dismal machine. I like my twenty year old juicer better !!! :o

Yes it does, although it has never jam on me. I threw almost everything at it. Celery must be chop up do to its long string fiber. The parts look identical to more expensive slow juicer. AAA recommend. Soft Fruit such as pear is ok, but juices the hell out of greens. Like all slow juicers, it has some pulp, but you can always strain it, until you get used to it. After a month, I like the pulp and extra fiber. Take a look at the manual and compare to more expensive juicers and you see for yourself. My auguar is black and durable as the famous brands. Fabor is an european brand thats all. good luck

no. It's like an old fashion non motorized juicer....where you twist, say the orange...except this machine does the twisting....you just hold the item.

Yes. It is a bit big for that. You can buy the 1000 Wat step up transformer for your juicer. Remember, it is a different Hertz. The European Hertz is 50 and the American is 60. The motor will go bad faster than usual, but you will probably have other things go bad before the motor will.

Yes! Quite nicely! It is a masticating juicer, which is the type that can juice wheatgrass.

My old one did, but the new one didn't. And I wanted to update that the new one I bought, which is now made by a different company than ACME, is far and away inferior to the old machine I had. The metal is thinner and some of the edges are not polished and you can cut yourself. I can't juice more than one glass of juice without the machine starting to buck all over the counter. My old machine did not have any of these issues. I also have a citrus juicer attachment from my old machine, that won't fit the new one. I would not advice anyone purchase this machine. You won't be happy with it. My old one did, but the new one didn't.

No it is not a juicer. You may get a smoothie out of it but even when I do that I have to add more water or almond milk or something.

it actually is, I just juiced some kale the other day and I got more juice out of it then my old juicer. You can go look at instagram to see what I juiced from it since I had it. @getfitangie Hope you like the juicer! It's also easy to clean too.
