The Samson Juicer, first produced in 2002 is a Korean made copy of the first model Oscar juicer, which was released in 1998. It’s of better quality than the single gear juicers made in China, but it has some inherent faults such as the switch assembly which is not moisture proof and the capacitator which is positioned on top of the motor where it gets hot and doesn’t receive adequate ventilation. The design of the Samson front end is based on the first Oscar juicer ever released so the juice is pulpier and it produces less juice than the Oscar Vital Max. The plastic parts such as the juicing screen are made of a somewhat brittle plastic so you can expect to need numerous replacements.

I run a juice bar and have used the Samson in the past, but stopped using it because the switch assembly continues to be a problem with moisture seeping in and causing it to short out time after time. The juicing screens break easily and it’s not as efficient in extraction; the pulp is not as dry as some of the other cold press models on the market.

we love our matstone we juice everything in it, its not good on squashy fruit but we blend that instead, we’ve had it years and find it excellent, when we’ve needed spares they have been cheap too
