We have had the TriBest manual juicer which looks identical to this one for quite some time, many months. We do not use it for anything other than wheat grass because it didn't look sturdy enough for that. Wheat grass was all that myTriBest manual juicer was recommended for at the time we purchased it several years ago.
We use it every day for making 1/2 cup of wheat grass for two people. We will admit that care does need to be impletmented when using the product. We put the grass in slowly, such as 1/2" bundles of grass at a time. Even with this my husband has our 1/2 cup of juice made, which we share, done in less than 10 minutes. We feel the juice it produces is a good sweet juice compared to the foamy juice that our electric green power produces. We do use the electric one when we also make another juice around the same time. Our Green Power twin auger instructions does recommend keeping the augers in the freezer prior to assembly to reduce heat and foaming. This does help.
We are happy with the little TriBest manual wheat grass juicer but as stated above, we need to treat with with care and only use it for wheat grass. With that said, for the price and easy of use, we like it.
The Handle Breaks

I have used this juicer daily for about 6 months and knew it was just a matter of time before the handle ripped off. This morning it happened. It just can't sustain the torque that is placed on it. Do not buy it.
where does tray go

I bought one of these about 2 months ago & found it was really easy to use, easy to clean & juiced well. Until this morning. The screw part of the auger which the handle attaches to twisted off irrepably as I was turning it. Not impressive after only 2 months use & now I'm without a juicer.
Yes, it works, but....

I read such glowing reports of this entry-level juicer that it was my almost automatic choice. Fiendishly packed in a bright box (but difficult to re-pack so neatly) it looked exactly like the illustrations. An instructional CD is included to supplement the written introduction sheet. Not all have the means of viewing CDs. The suction pad works well. The single auger is solid. It assembles without any problems. Tools, spare gaskets and knurled nut included It is very easy to clean.
Here is the big BUT. It doesn't tell you where to put the jug. The drawings are very coy about showing where the juice comes out and where the pulp exits. It would be so useful to have a large arrow on the illustration with 'Juice from here' writ large.There is only one small picture on the sheet of the machine with its jug in place and the location is not where one might think. I splurted half my apple juice onto the floor before I twigged I'd put the jug in the wrong place. And I had read the leaflet (as I thought) with care. I replaced the jug correctly and tried some pears. Excellent purée but not juice.
Once my wheatgrass is big enough, I'll try again. That is really why I bought the machine. For quick fruit and vegetable juice, I'll stick to my centrifugal juicer. This machine is nicely built for the price but the written instructions are inadequate. I don't want congratulations on my purchase, I want full, clear information.
