  • The 4 Best Twin Gear Juicers

    1. Tribest Greenstar Elite Twin Gear Juicer – Best Overall
    Tribest GSE-5000 Greenstar Elite Twin Gear Juicer

    The Tribest GSE-5000 Greenstar Elite Twin Gear Juicer has two mostly stainless steel bio-ceramic magnetic twin gears. We say “mostly” because the tips are actually plastic. It would be nice if the steel went all the way through.

    This model of juicer is available in white plastic or chrome. We noticed that the chrome flakes off pretty easily and gets into your juice. We would recommend the plastic one.

    This juicer is very easy to put together and take apart to clean. It juices your food at a slow 110 RPM to cut down on oxidation and the breakdown of the nutrients being squeezed out.

    The Tribest GSE-5000 comes with attachments that turn it into a food processor or a homogenizer to create your own butter, frozen sorbets, or salsa. There’s also an attachment that turns it into a pasta maker, but that’s optional.

    All in all we think this is the best twin gear juicer on the market.

    Pros
    • Stainless steel bio-ceramic magnetic twin gears
    • Slow 110 RPM cold press extraction
    • Easy to assemble and clean
    • Food processor, homogenizer, and pasta maker accessories available
    Cons
    • Chrome flakes off
    • Gears aren’t completely stainless steel

    2. Super Angel Twin Gear Juicer – Best Premium Choice

    Super Angel 5500 Stainless Steel Twin Gear Juicer

    The Super Angel 5500 Stainless Steel Twin Gear Juicer is a two-stage juicer, which means it squeezes your food and then presses it once as it goes through the gears. The gears rotate at 86 RPM, which is the optimal speed to get the most nutrients out of your food. All the parts are made of stainless steel, so they’re robust and easy to clean.

    The only part that isn’t steel is the stick used to push your food through. It is all wood. That’s fine, but it’s a tad too long and comes into contact with the gears. Be sure that you don’t push it all the way down.

    This juicer comes with a four-quart measuring cup to catch the juice as it comes out, but it is also what keeps the juicer stable. If it gets bumped out of position by mistake, the juicer can tip over.

    This juicer will literally squeeze everything out of your foods and works well with small items, like leafy greens or wheatgrass. This means you’ll get more flavor out of these smaller items than you do with the average juicer. You may need to adjust your green recipes if you don’t like so much of the green flavor.

    Pros
    • Two-stage juicer
    • Stainless steel parts
    • 86 RPM
    • Easy to clean
    Cons
    • Needs provided measuring cup to keep it from tipping over
    • Pushing stick comes into contact with gears
    • May need to adjust recipes

    3. Tribest Greenstar Pro Twin Gear Juicer

    Tribest GS-P502 Greenstar Pro Twin Gear Juicer

    The Tribest GS-P502 Greenstar Pro Twin Gear Juicer has powerful stainless steel gears that rotate at 110 RPM to juice your food efficiently. It conveniently runs on either 120 or 220-volt power.

    There’s a knob you adjust to move the gears closer together for small foods, and farther apart for more substantial foods. It’s a guessing game to figure out exactly how tight the knob should be for each different food, since there’s no marking of any sort to use as a guideline.

    Pulp builds up around the gears, and you can’t eject it until you loosen the knob almost all the way. The screen that separates the juice from the pulp has openings that are large enough to allow some pulp through into the juice. That strainer over the pulp collection container fills up fast and requires that you stop frequently to empty it out.

    This also isn’t the easiest juicer to clean. It’s challenging to get all the food particles out of all the holes in the screens. Where the gears attach to the housing, there are a bunch of curved areas that have crevices and hollow corners where juice and pulp build up. These small areas are difficult to clean out thoroughly.

    Overall, we believe, for the best twin gear juicer for the price.

    Pros
    • Stainless steel gears
    • 110 RPM
    • 120 or 220 volt
    Cons
    • Lets some pulp through into juice
    • Pulp builds up between gears
    • No markings to set knobs for certain foods
    • Strainer over pulp collection container fills up fast
    • Screens and corners are hard to clean

    4. Green Power Twin Gear Juicer

    Green Power KPE1304 Twin Gear Juicer

    The Green Power KPE1304 Twin Gear Juicer has a large chute that feeds your food into a machine with bio-ceramic and magnetic technology to maintain nutrients and minimize oxidation. It does seem to clog quickly, but it’s also easy to clean.

    The rollers on this juicer are small compared to others and don’t squeeze out as much juice. They also don’t grab leafy green items very well, so you won’t get as much juice out of them as possible.

    One big concern is that there is no safety switch. If you accidentally bump the power button, this machine will start before the unit is completely assembled.

    Pros
    • Bio-ceramic/magnetic technology maintains nutrients and minimizes oxidation
    • Large feeding chute
    • Easy to clean
    Cons
    • No safety switch
    • Clogs easily
    • Rollers don’t squeeze out as much juice
    • Doesn’t grab leafy greens very well

    Buyer’s Guide – Choosing the Best Twin Gear Juicer

    What is a twin gear juicer?

    Twin gear juicers are considered the best of all juicers on the market. They’re not the easiest to use and can cost a pretty penny, but the slow process your fruit and vegetables are put through will give you the highest yield and the best quality juice.

    Twin gear juicers have low-speed twin gears that move your food through a three-step process. First, your food is crushed, rather than shredded as with other juicers. This minimizes the breakdown of nutrients and oxidation, which lengthens the shelf life of your juice from 24 hours to 72 hours. They also have a very narrow clearance between the gears, which allows them to efficiently crush leafy greens and other small food items that are difficult for other juicers.

    After the food is crushed, it continues down the path of the gears and is squeezed twice to ensure any possible juice has been extracted and gives you the highest level of nutrients. The pulp left after this process is some of the driest pulp ever seen.

    Types of food that can be juiced

    • Hard produce
    • Citrus and other soft fruits
    • Leafy greens
    • Nuts
    • Beans

    What to look for in a juicer:

    1. Efficiency:
    The saying “you get what you pay for” is true with juicers just as it is for everything else. If you get a cheap juicer, you’ll have to buy more fruits and vegetables to yield the same amount of juice you’d get from juicing fewer items in a better quality machine. Twin gear juicers have the highest efficiency of all juicers.

    2. Ease of Use:
    The small number of parts and large feeding tubes can make twin gear juicers easier to use. They don’t take as long to put together, and you don’t have to cut your food up as small. That being said, ease doesn’t always give you the best quality. Twin gear juicers are more challenging to use than other juicers. They’re more efficient, but there’s a steep learning curve in using one.

    3. Ease of Cleaning:
    Obviously, the smaller number of parts means you have less to clean. Read the instructions to see how far you have to break the machine down to clean it, or if any of the parts are dishwasher safe. If it takes longer to clean than it does to use, you’ll never use it.

    4. Nutrient Retention:
    The amount of air sucked in when juicing a food determines how much the nutrients extracted get broken down. A sign that your juice won’t hold its nutritional value long is the amount of froth that appears at the top of your juicing container. If you have foam, your juice will only maintain its nutrients for up to 24 hours. Twin gear juicers don’t suck in much air, so the nutrients of the juice they produce can be retained for up to 72 hours.

    5. Pulp Ejection:
    Having an external pulp collection bin allows you to juice continuously without stopping to empty an internal basket. Twin gear juicers have external collection bins.

    6. Versatility:
    Some juicers can only juice hard produce, citrus or other soft fruits. They don’t get much out of leafy greens. Twin gear juicers can handle small items just as well as big ones.

    7. Feeder Tube Size:
    The size of the feeder tube determines how fast you can push your food through the juicer. Twin gear juicers have small feeder tubes, so you have to cut your food into smaller pieces.

    8. Size:
    Know the dimensions of the juicer you want, to make sure it’ll fit in the space where you have to store it.

    9. Noise:
    Some juicers can be rather loud, and if you’re going to be juicing a lot at one time, the noise level can be important. Twin gear juicers are usually pretty quiet.

    10. Juice Container:
    Juicers that come with a cup to catch your juice as it comes out are more efficient than just placing a bowl underneath the nozzle. They’re made to fit the space that’s available under your juice nozzle. Trying to use a bowl or container that wasn’t made to fit that juicer can be rather messy.
