Try(notso)best
I'd always heard rave reviews on the classic Tribest horizontal juicer. So after returning the Nama J2, I figured I'd try this one out. After all, it's Tribest. Unlike the Nama, this one definitely has no issues with juicing pineapple by itself, which for me is the bar of any juicer. I'm very happy about that. What I don't like at all are the attachment parts. 1. I have such a difficult time putting it together for use and taking it apart to clean. It's very stiff and awkward and actually hurts my hands from the force I have to use sometimes. 2. I know it's a compact model, but I'm shocked at how small the part is where the fruits and veggies go into. It's so narrow! The produce has to be cut so small and even then I feel like I have yo force it through with the white pusher. 3. Based on how far down the white pusher goes, I don't believe it was especially designed for this model. It actually touches the part that spins so I have be careful to not push it down too much while still making sure to get the fruit down to be juiced. Is it enough to make me want to return it and go back to the drawing board? More so yes than no.

Plastic parts break
I've owned this juicer for 2 years now. We use it almost every day. Every 6 months I have to contact customer service to replace the same exact part. It's the auger housing. The locking part that holds everything together. At this point we've been given the following instructions. Cut everything into very small pieces before juicing (think thin carrot stick size) Only use the machine for 30 minutes at a time. Clean the screen while juicing so it doesn't get clogged. I've followed this instructions but it continues to break. I'm extremely frustrated at this point. I go through all this extra work only to have this machine break. Think about this if you plan on using this juicer frequently. If I had known all of this I would not have bought it.

Great juice, hard to ckean
We love the juice that our solostar 4 produces. We run the pulp through a second time to squeeze everything out. However, veggies have to be chopped to process and the screen is a pain to clean.

Its a no for me
The chute is very small. You have to cut your fruits very small. The pieces still get stuck in the blades and the juice doesn't run out.

Need to make the opening much larger because the veggies keep getting stuck and is a bit difficult to push through which is very annoying. Other than that I like the fact that the juice is good up to 72 hours

Convenient. Easy Storage. Quick Set Up. Easy Break Down and Clean Up . Excellent Machine.
I bought my Zstar Manual Juicer almost 10 years ago and after finding out that the SoloStar was a compatible machine that could interchange with it, I was happy to purchase it. The good thing about buying the SoloStar was that it made my juicing experience go faster than using the hand-crank juicer used in previous years. I already know how good the SoloStar is from the years of experience using the manual version of it, the Zstar, which now makes my cooking experience go so much faster. Instead of steaming spinach as the ingredient for lasagna, it's put through the SoloStar to be macerated, keeping in all of the goodness and used in a raw form, in the dish being baked. After having years of good satisfaction with the Zstar, the electric version can only be as good or better because it's not only made by the same company, but the parts are just as good, and in my case, as a full-time cook, will be much faster. I'm looking forward to some good and satisfying experiences using the SoloStar.

Completely Impressed!
Although I have only used it once so far, I'm completely impressed by its ease of use, efficiency, and simple cleanup. It really did take me by surprise because I thought it would be much more involved. The juice extraction was superb. I used very little produce and got 16 oz of juice. Absolutely wonderful. I am so glad I bought this item
