contains.Comparing the first dual-stage single auger juicers: The Omega 8002 and The Solo Star samson juicer and twin health twin gear
by John Kohler
With the introduction of the two newest styles of the single auger juicer, one of the questions that we have been getting very frequently is, which is the better dual-stage single auger juicer. From our , its apparent tha the dual stage juicers generally yield more juice, while juicing carrots, but is there a difference between the new dual stage models? samson juicer
Omega, is not a new name in the juicing business. It has its roots in juicing back for over 30 years with its original model, that hasn't changed much over the years, the Omega 1000 juicer. Unlike the other juicers in the Omega product line (1000, 4000, 9000), the 8002 (and now discontinued 8001) are made in Korea. samson juicer
Tribest (has been in the juicer business since the early 1990s, originally introducing the Green Power twin gear juicer, which has now been upgraded to the Green Star Juicer.) It's no surprise that the Solo Star is also made in Korea.
There are a few visual differences when looking at the two juicers side by side. The Solo Star has more of a square look and the Omega 8002 has more of a rounded look. The 8002 is white in color, while the Solo Star is an off-white, Almond in color. The 8002 has cord storage underneath, while the Solor Star does not.
The new Solo Star Juicer and the Omega 8002 juicer have longer augers than the single stage auger juicers. The extra length in the auger is used for the extra juicing stage. As you can see by the photo to the right, the dual stage augers are about 1.5" longer. Of the two juicers we are comparing, the Solo Star auger is a bit longer than the 8002 auger. samson juicer
Will the longer auger translate into more juice?? In a few moments, you will read about the head-to-head tests we did with the two juicers.
In the picture above, you can see the visual differences of the main housing of the two juicers. To me, it looks like the Omega 8002 took the 8001 and basically added a second stage to the juicing process. They did this by adding a different nozzle, keeping the same basic size of the old 8001 juicing screen. On the other hand, I believe the Solo Star, took a whole different approach. I believe they totally redesigned the auger and the screen, which is apparent at looking at how the juicer works. samson juicer
The Solo Star and Omega 8001 both encorporate the dual stage juicing design. The produce is first crushed. The juice that is released at this stageis directed to the collection tray through a filter. On the 8002, you can see this filter on the flat part in the picture above. On the solo star, the extra filter screen is built into the main body of the juicer. You can see both filter screens in the picture above. The solo star has a much smaller screen, with smaller holes (which due to surface area, is easier to clean in my opinion).
We did a direct comparison with the juicing of baby orgainc carrots. We juiced a one pound bage of carrots in each juicer. You can see the results of the test in the table below.
|
Solo Star |
8002 |
Difference |
Carrots
(1 lb.) |
9.75 oz |
9.50 oz |
+ 2.5% |
As you can see from the table above, the Solo Star produced 2.5% more juice when juicing carrots in our test. Of course, results will vary depending on the produce being juiced. Remember that loss of yield means that you are throwing extra "juice" away in the fiber! samson juicer
We then juiced 1 pound, 3.3 ounces of celery in both juicers. See the table below for the results.
|
Solo Star |
8002 |
Difference |
Celery
( 1 lb., 3.3 oz) |
13 oz |
12.25 oz |
+ 5.75% |
Again you can see that the difference was 5.75%, which would lead us to believe that the Solo Star Juicer is more efficient, since it does extract the juice more juice out of both of the produce items we juiced.
We hope these two quick tests and article gave you some insight on the newest dual-stage single auger juicers. A few other factors to consider with these juicers: samson juicer
- Clean up - The Solo Star has a smaller juicing screen, which has less surface area to clean. The other juicing screen was built into the housing, and was easily washed with my kitchen sprayer.
- Warranty - The Omega 8002 juicer warranty is 10 years, while the Solo Star juicer is 5 years.

We hope you have learned more about the two juicers featured in this comparison.
Summary:
These juicers are both great juicers, and for all practical purposes, the results were so close, so if you were looking to yield alone, you couldn't go wrong with either juicer. So maybe some other factors should be taken into consideration:
Overall, we prefer the Juicer for the following points:
- Quieter (~2 to ~3 dB in our tests)
- Produces a higher yield (2.5% - 5% more in our tests)
- Easier to Clean (smaller Screen)
- Lower Price
- More powerful motor samson juicer
We also like the for the following points:
- Longer warranty - 10 years
- Appearance - White, sleek rounded (almost looks like a shape out of Star Trek!)
- Comes with two juicing screens (one small hole, and one with larger holes, which provides more flexibility when juicing fruits or veggies)
- Better for homogenizing due to both screens are entirely plugged when operating.
Please note: These are our tests and our opinions, your results may vary.
- Anti
oxidants responsible for the elimination of toxic heavy
metals, such as lead and mercury.
- Anti
aging properties including A B complex C E and
super oxide dissimulates.
- Concentrated
sources of selenium, which helps eliminate pollutants.
- Chlorophyll,
which has the ability to break down carbon dioxide and
release free oxygen.
- Choline.
Which prevents the deposition of fats in the liver.
- Magnesium,
which draws out excess fat (aiding the liver)
- Potassium,
which invigorates and stimulates the liver.
- Wheatgrass
has an abundance of alkaline minerals, which help reduce
over acidity in the blood.

| Allergies
and sensitivities
Wheatgrass
is different from wheat.
One is a grain the other a green vegetable.
The green vegetable grass contains no gluten.
Most wheat allergies are due to the gluten in the grain.
Therefore
it is no more allergenic than spinach or lettuce.
Whaetgrass actually contains antiallergic factors.
Allergies are immune responses to toxic irritants.
Detoxification is crucial to any allergy treatment problem. |

POINTS ABOUT WHEATGRASS
1
Wheatgrass Juice is one of the best sources of living chlorophyll
available.
2 Chlorophyll is the first product of light and, therefore,
contains more light energy than any other element.
3 Wheatgrass juice is a crude chlorophyll and can be taken
orally and as a colon implant without toxic side effects.
4 Chlorophyll is the basis of all plant life.
5 Wheatgrass is high in oxygen like all green plants that
contain chlorophyll. The brain and all body tissues function
at an optimal level in a highly-oxygenated environment.
6 Chlorophyll is antibacterial and can be used inside and
outside the body as a healer.
7 Dr. Bernard Jensen says that it only takes minutes to digest
wheatgrass juice and uses up very little body energy.
8 Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and development
of unfriendly bacteria.
9 Chlorophyll (wheatgrass) rebuilds the bloodstream. Studies
of various animals have shown chlorophyll to be free of any
toxic reaction. The red cell count was returned to normal
within 4 to 5 days of the administration of chlorophyll, even
in those animals which were known to be extremely anemic or
low in red cell count.
10 Chlorophyll can be extracted from many plants, but
wheatgrass is superior because it has been found to have over
100 elements needed by man. If grown in organic soil, it absorbs
92 of the known 102 minerals from the soil.
11 Wheatgrass has what is called the grass-juice factor, which
has been shown to keep herbivorous animals alive indefinitely.
12 Dr. Ann Wigmore has been helping people get well form chronic
disorders for 30 years using wheatgrass.
13 Liquid chlorophyll gets into the tissues, refines them
and makes them over.
14 Wheatgrass Juice is a superior detoxification agent
compared to carrot juice and other fruits and vegetables.
15 Liquid chlorophyll washes drug deposits from the body.
16 Chlorophyll neutralizes toxins in the body.
17 Chlorophyll helps purify the liver.
18 Chlorophyll improves blood sugar problems.

19
Wheatgrass Juice can cure acne and even removes scars
after it has been ingested for seven to eight months.
The diet must be improved at the same time.
20 Wheatgrass juice acts as a detergent in the
body and is used as a body deodorant.
21 A small amount of wheatgrass juice in the human
diet can prevent tooth decay.
22 Wheatgrass juice held in the mouth for 5 minutes
can eliminated toothaches. It pulls poisons from the
gums.
23 Gargle Wheatgrass Juice for a sore throat.
24 Drink Wheatgrass Juice for skin problems such
as eczema or psoriasis.
25 Pyorrhea of the mouth: lay pulp of wheatgrass soaked
in juice on diseased area in mouth or chew wheatgrass
spitting out the pulp.
26 By taking Wheatgrass Juice, one may feel a difference
in strength, endurance, health, and spirituality, and
experience a sense of well-being. 27 Wheatgrass juice
improves the digestion.
28 Wheatgrass juice is high in enzymes.
29 Wheatgrass juice is an excellent skin cleanser
and can be absorbed through the skin for nutrition.
Pour green juice over your body in a tub of warm water
and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse off with cold water.
30 Wheatgrass juice is great for constipation and keeping
the bowels open. It is high in magnesium. 31 Dr. Birscher,
a research scientist, called chlorophyll "concentrated
sun power." He said, "chlorophyll increases the function
of the heart, affects the vascular system, the intestines,
the uterus, and the lungs. "
32 According to Dr. Birscher, nature uses chlorophyll
(wheatgrass) as a body cleanser, rebuilds, and neutralizer
of toxins.
33 Wheatgrass Juice can reduce high blood pressure
and enhances the capillaries.
34 Wheatgrass Juice can remove heavy metals from
the body.
35 Wheatgrass juice is great for blood disorders
of all kinds
(TO GET THE FULL BENEFIT OF CHLOROPHYLL IT MUST
BE FROM A LIVING PLANT.).

WHEAT
GRASS AGAINST DISEASE A GREAT HOPE FOR AILING HUMANITY
A virtual epidemic of chronic degenerative disease is afflicting
the western world: from cancer to heart disease; from arthritis
to schizophrenia; from diabetes to the common cold. These diseases
and so many more, increasingly subjugate a people attuned more
to affording sickness than enjoying the natural state of health
which is our birthright. The statistics for cancer, for example,
are starkly and devastatingly illustrative of the extent to which
our well-being is threatened.
The information below was already valid for the 1980's in the
U.S.A.
"Last year over 405,000 Americans died from cancer."
"Almost 56 million Americans now living will eventually have cancer."
"In 1980, about 708,000 people we diagnosed as having cancer."
"Cancer kills more children age three to four than any other disease."
"The overall incidence of cancer has increased between 5% and
10% since 1970."
(Excerpted from "Cancer Facts and Figures:1980," The American
Cancer Society, Inc., 777 Third Ave., New York, NY 10017) A meaningless
litany of mere statistics? The real costs of cancer, in terms
of human fear, hopelessness and death which have left no family
unscathed, suggest not. Astounding success in the reversal of
chronic degenerative diseases has been experienced through the
application of a vegetarian diet of living foods consisting of
wheat grass juice, immature greens, sprouts, fruit, vegetables,
and sprouted and/or fermented seeds, nuts and grains. The use
of 70% chlorophyll extract of seven day old wheat grass is central
to the rejuvenation process and the reversal of disease. The effects
of this wheat grass juice on the diseased organism are two-fold:
first it provides an optimal nutritional environment for the healing
process; and second, it catalyses a detoxification process which
increases the elimination of accumulated internal waste which
causes disease by autointoxication.
Let us examine more closely each of these two processes. Scientific
analysis has demonstrated that grass grown from wheat is a perfectly
complete food in itself, capable of sustaining life in a healthy
way. Dr. G.H Earp Thomas, a soil expert at the Bloomfield Laboratories
in Massachusetts, isolated over 100 elements, including all the
known minerals, from wheat grass. His calculations indicate that
15lbs of fresh wheat grass is equivalent in nutritional value
to 350lbs of choicest vegetables. Studies have shown that wheat
grass is an excellent source of vitamins A, B, C, E and K, as
well as calcium, chlorine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium,
sodium, sulphur, cobalt and zinc. Further, the chemical structure
of the chlorophyll molecule in wheat grass reveals that it is
remarkably adapted to utilisation of the human blood stream, by
virtue of its similarity to the hemin molecule of haemoglobin.
(Haemoglobin is one of the major components of our blood.) These
two molecules are essentially identical with the exception of
the central atom which is magnesium in the case of chlorophyll
and iron in the case of hemin. Thus we can see that within the
context of this optimal and easily assimilated and utilised nourishment,
the human body has the fundamental components with which to eliminate
disease and regenerate itself.
This healing process occurs as the therapeutic chlorophyll in
wheat grass juice catalyses the elimination of the stored toxins
which cause disease. These toxins are present in the ailing organism
in the form of hardened mucous, crystallised acids, fatty deposits,
calcifications and solidified, decaying fecal matter.
As these toxins are eliminated, the body is cleansed and brought
back to its natural state of health.
Wheat grass juice has a very high enzyme content which helps to
dissolve tumours. Imagine the astonished rejoicings of persons
labelled "terminal" who watch visible tumours disintegrate and
disappear before their very eyes.
The following data on the nutrients contained by the first joint
wheat grass (7-10" tall) is taken from a report Dr. C.F. Schnabel
made to the American Chemical Society. NUTRIENT MILLIGRAMS PER
POUND (453.59G) Chlorophyll 5,000 mg Choline 4,000 mg Vitamin
C (ascorbic acid) 2,000 mg Vitamin A (carotene) 360 mg Vitamin
E 120 mg Vitamin F 120 mg Vitamin K 120 mg Niacin (B group vit)
120 mg Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) 24 mg Vitamin B1 (thiamine) 12
mg Pantothenic acid (B group vit) 8 mg Vitamin B6 4 mg It may
seem that wheat grass contains relatively small amounts of the
B vitamins, but in actuality the amounts compare favourably with
latest research on vitamin B needs as compared to C and A. All
in all, wheat grass juice is a potent food/medicine that has many
uses.
GROWING
WHEATGRASS
1.
Soak organic seeds in cold water for 12 hours (overnight)
2. Rest seeds for 12 hours drain in suitable container (large
jar perhaps with open mesh lid) or
in sprouting bag.
3. Give 5-minute drink before sowing.
4. Sow in organic soil, press seeds down firmly so they can make
contact with mother earth
(organic soil) and form a thick carpet.
5. Cover with 4-8 layers of soaking wet newspaper or wet cheesecloth.
6. To prevent seed coming in contact with newspaper use thin layer
of wet paper towels.
7. In 4 days the wheat sprout will lift the top cover.
8. Remove the cover, wet thoroughly ( but allow to drain ) and
relocate somewhere warm and
sunny ( only morning sun )
9. 7-10 days the grass will be 12-15cm high and ready to be harvested.
10. Cut as close to the base as possible.
11. Juice, drink and enjoy feeling very alive.
