Tribest Greenstar Pro GS-P502
Specifications:
- Capacity: Depends on the bowl you use
- RPM: 110
- Overload protection:
- Speeds: 1 and Reverse
- Material: Stainless steel and plastic
- Feeder chute: 1.5”
- Warranty 15-year protection for residential use and 3 years for commercial use
It’s the top entry for good reason, seeing how it can improve the quality of every glass of juice. It’s intended for commercial use but it can also be a great addition to your home if you and your family enjoy freshly made juice very often. And it’s not very large, so don’t worry it will look bulky on the counter. The housing is made of plastic but all the internal components that touch the produce are made of rust-proof metal so there is no chance of altering the taste or color of the juice.
The housing includes a handle and easy-grip ridges to make it simpler for you to grab, lift, and turn the machine. For added safety, it will not turn on if the hood is removed, to avoid any accidents. Also, it has a tamper for pressing the pieces into the feeding chute for better control of the pressure inside. A holder for the tamper was added to the back of the housing, for convenient storage. A jug is not added to the package, so you need to place a bowl or glass underneath the opening.
As such, the jumbo twin gears are made of steel and are improved with a core of bioceramic material that creates a magnetic field that rearranges the water clusters so more valuable vitamins and nutrients are preserved. It also uses kinetic energy to create a far infrared that delays oxidation. Magnetic and bioceramic technology creates less heat while rotating the two spirals at 110RPM so that fewer nutrients and enzymes will be crushed in the process. Hence, the color and flavor and intensified and the juice lasts longer as it doesn’t oxide. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 72 hours.
This versatile machine doesn’t only make juice. The two homogenizing accessories let you make butter from nuts, pates, sauces, or frozen sorbets. A Reverse button was added to the handle to prevent clogging and to ensure a large batch is obtained in one move, without stopping. It has a 30-minute juicing cycle that increases its utility in a bar or restaurant. The company provides a very generous 15-year protection for residential use and 3 years for commercial purposes.

- Overload protection:
- Speeds: 1

To maximize its functionality, the manufacturer improved the design with an extra chute, being the only model with two feeding chutes, one measuring 50mm in diameter and the other 75mm. This way, you can add larger fruits through one side and smaller ones or leafy greens through the other, and get extreme efficiency. The pouring opening is placed high to fit tall glasses or jugs, eliminating the need to replace it very often.
A holding jug is not added, so you must place a glass below the opening every time. You have full control over its functioning with the Start and Stop buttons that let you decide for how long you want the motor to run. Hence, if the glass is full, simply stop the machine and continue juicing after you replace the glass. To help you get a full view of its capacity, know that it can make 2 liters of juice in just one minute, so the performance is outstanding.

How to Perform Cleaning
A glass of fresh juice is a great way to start your day. But, while a juicer will ensure that you have your citrus fresh ready in a few minutes, for you to stay healthy, it needs cleaning. No matter the type of unit you prefer, you should keep it clean at all times, not only to increase its life span but also to keep your health in top shape. While it should be cleaned after every use to prevent the acid-like citrus juice from damaging the unit, it’s not too late to clean it now.
You will need:
Cleaning Tools
- Dish soap
- A soft brush
- Clean water
Cleaning Steps
Step 1. Make sure to unplug the juicer and start disassembling it. Keep an eye on the manual and the instructions it provides if you’re not entirely sure which parts you can take out.
Step 2. Fill the sink with clean water and add the dish soap. Let the pieces soak for a bit for the dried pulp to come off.
Step 3. Take the pieces one by one and brush them up. Insist on the spots that are stubborn until there is no more residue left.
Step 4. Rinse all pieces with clean water and let them air dry. If you’re in a hurry, wipe them thoroughly with a dry cloth.
Step 5. With a damp cloth, wipe the machine down. While juice should go only a certain way, there are cases when the unit might get splashed in the process. Once all the parts are dried, assemble them back together.
Hot pressed or cold pressed. Which is better?
With the current tendency of eating healthy, fruit and vegetable juices are included in everyone’s daily diet to a greater extent. While this is a beneficial new habit, as it is not only fresh, natural, full of nutrients, but it can also increase the immune system and help in dealing with several other issues, it can be complicated.
Why is that? Depending on what type of extractor you use, those natural, fresh vitamins might be in a smaller quantity than you might think. There are two main types of units: cold and hot press.
Cold-press
The devices that separate the fiber from the cells of produce without the aid of heat, are also known as masticating extractors and tend to use hydraulic power to effectively chew and crush the fruits. While the procedure tends to take longer, with less juice as an effect, the result is richer in nutritional content.
Since vitamin C, which is present in nearly all fruits, is sensitive to both heat and light, cold-pressed nectars are less diluted and, thus, manage to retain the vitamins in their original form, unmodified. So, it takes longer to prepare, with less amount of liquid, but the result is lusher and more beneficial regarding nutritional content and vitamins.
Hot-press
Centrifugal extractors, or the traditional ones with blades, are the devices that use ‘heat’ to produce the juice. The rotation of the blades, usually powered by electricity, releases a specific volume of heat. Because they spin, besides heat, they also produce air, so the juice comes in contact with both heat and air, starting the process of oxidation.
By doing this, vital nutrients are lost or altered, so the result is less valuable for the body. Sure, it may be faster this way, but the result may be disappointing. Consequently, it delivers the result faster but with fewer vitamins and nutrients.
5 Facts to Consider When Choosing a Juicer
- Price and budget Depending on how much you plan to spend on an extractor, or how much your budget can stretch to accommodate it, there are several choices available.
- Type Which do you prefer? A richer, more nutritious drink made in a long-time period or a faster, quicker, but less nutritious one? You can either opt for a cold-press or a centrifugal unit. But keep in mind what you want in the long run before deciding to buy it.
- Cleaning How many minutes are you determined to reserve for cleaning? As both types of units need to be cleaned after every use, get one that will fit your schedule. The centrifugal one has more pieces and will take longer to be cleaned, while the cold-pressed one has more compact parts, thus fewer accessories to be washed.
- Speeds For what do you usually use your juicer? Only fruits, or vegetables, nuts, and other, more difficult to press foods? According to what you prefer to consume, you might need a unit with more than one speed. Usually, those with two speeds offer more customization and more freedom regarding what types of nectars, shakes, and mixes you can consume.
- Design When it comes to the outer aspect, you should pay attention to the material that was used for the housing as well as to the finish as they are the ones deciding the durability of the unit. Furthermore, some design flows can lead to poor operations that will, in time, affect the running of the machine.

If time is not your concern, but instead you’re interested in a unit that employs reduced heat accumulation and oxidation, then you should consider this model.

Sturdy and resistant, it even comes with an integrated reverse container, which will ensure there are no blocked elements inside.
