Wheatgrass Juicers Reviews
If you’re planning to Grow your own Wheatgrass then you’ll need to invest in a juicer. There are two types of juicers, Electric and Manual. Juicers are essential in extracting all the juice from the wheatgrass, however, due to its size and density, not all juicers are capable of juicing wheatgrass. We are going to guide you through some of our recommendations to help you decide which juicer best suits your lifestyle and needs.
Manual Juicers

But there are numbers of ways to overcome this, for example, place something under the container to raise it up, forcing the pulp to slide out of range.
The design is quite durable despite the majority of the material been plastic. It’s lightweight and compact, making it perfect for travelling.

Electric Juicers
Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer
Our Rating: 5/5
Price: WAS: $ 390.00 NOW: $ 275.00 (you save 29%)
This electric juicer is ideal for any type of juicer. It performs extremely well and uses a single-auger design that results in high quality juice. You’ll get more nutrients and antioxidants out of your juicing as this juicer uses an 80rpm low speed system. This also means that it limits froth and foam from occurring thus preventing oxidation. This juicer features a dual stage processing system, where the pulp (extract from the wheatgrass) is squeezed through a second presser stage resulting in higher yield of juice and a very dry pulp, giving you maximum juice. The juicer has a powerful 2HP motor and is also very quiet to operate. It’s extremely durable and has a long life expectancy. There are 4 main parts that you have to put together for set-up and disassemble for clean up, it’s really easy to clean. You can also use this juicer to efficiently juice hard and soft fruits and vegetables.
You may notice that the size of the feeding chute is a bit small/narrow, which means you’ll need to do some preparation work if you’re planning to juice chunks of fruits or vegetables.
Please be aware that it may take some time to juice as previously mentioned the juicer uses a low speed system in order to retain the maximum nutrients and antioxidants as possible. All in all, this juicer is one of the most efficient juicers you can buy for its price range. It is well worth it.
Other functions:
You can use this juicer as a food processor as it chops and minces ingredients.
This juicer is also capable of grinding coffee beans, make all-natural nut butters, sorbets, baby food, soy milk, almond milk and can even extrude pasta.
Omega NC800 HDS 5th Generation Nutrition Center Juicer
Our Rating: 5/5
Price: WAS: $ 430.00 NOW: $ 279.95 (you save 35%)
This juicer is similar to the Omega J8006 but with slight improvement. The feeding chute is about 2 times bigger and it also features an adjustable end cap that is found mostly on twin gear juicers. The adjustable end cap features 5 settings that enable you to increase back-pressure on the pulp, yielding more juice. The juicing screen is quite larger than the Omega J8006, meaning that it will work more efficiently, extracting more juice. This juicer has a durable plastic body, where as the Omega J8006 has a Chrome body.
It is really easy to clean and to operate; the parts are easy to assemble and disassemble. It has a low speed juicing system at 80rpm rotation speed – this means it minimises heat build-up and oxidation. Noise wise, it is extremely quiet as with all slow juicers. This juicer features a dual stage processing system, where the pulp (extract from the wheatgrass) is squeezed through a second presser stage resulting in higher yield of juice and a very dry pulp, giving you maximum juice.
However you should note that it creates a fair bit of foam when juicing leafy greens, meaning that there is more oxidation in the juice thus the lower juice quality. But you could always manually separate the foam yourself or consider the Omega J8006.
Overall this juicer is a great juicer and is also reasonably priced.

Tribest Green Star Elite GSE-5000 Jumbo Twin Gear Juice Extractor
Our Rating: 5/5
Price: WAS: $ 629.00 NOW: $ 519.95 (you save 17%)
This juicer is one of the best juicers on the market. The juicer is extremely efficient; it produces around 14% more juice than the Omega J8006 or the Omega NC800 HDS. It is designed for all kinds of fruits, vegetables and leafy greens. The juicer features an exclusive jumbo twin gear technology with a low 110rpm, giving you maximum efficiency and yield. It also maximizes both the nutrition and quantity of the juice.
The twin gears features a 3 stage juicing process; the crushing, mixing and the squeezing stages. The crushing stage cuts up all the fibres from your produce so that you won’t need to pre-cut anything. The mixing stage allows all the produce from the crushing stage to get mixed up so that you may get further extraction and further nutrition out of the produce. The squeezing stage literally squeezes every last drop from the produce. The end result is a high quality juice.
The juicer features an outlet-adjusting knob, which forces all the pulp from the produce to stay in the machine, allowing more juice to get squeezed (nothing will go to waste). The knob features a retractable spring, this ensures that no clogging will occur and all the pulp will exit the machine once there is enough pressure on the retractable knob.
The juicer is easy to assemble and disassemble. However it does take some time to clean up; there are several parts in this machine. The mesh-juicing screen requires quite a lot of cleaning as the pulp can get jammed in tight corners. You’ll need to run the screen under cold water and scrub it out with the supplied brush.
Also note that the juicer can get stained quite easily (even from the first use). You’ll need to run a whole lime and a whole lemon through the juicer at the end of each juicing session- this keeps the internals from getting stained and also leaves a nice lemony smell.
The chute of the juicer is quite small/narrow, about 1 and a half inch square feeding chute. Therefore you may need to slice your produces appropriately to fit in the chute.
As with any twin juicer, this juicer requires some effort to push the produce in the juicer.
Also note that the juicer produces a fair amount of foam when juicing leafy greens, meaning that there is more oxidation in the juice thus the lower juice quality. But you can easily separate the foam from the juice with a fine strainer or simply use a folk and separate it manually. Overall this juicer is extremely efficient and is well worth the price. This product comes with a 12-year warranty.
If you are only planning to juice wheatgrass then we recommend not purchasing this product. You may want to consider the Omega J8006 as it uses a single-auger design and they are much better for juicing wheatgrass and is much more cost effective.
Other functions:
The Greenstar Elite is capable of creating all natural nut butters, sorbets, as well as sauces. You can also use it as a food processor, breaking down the produce to create a delicious dessert or snack.
