The Kempo twin gear juicer is produced in the same factory as the Greenpower Hippocrates Juicer and is basically the same juicer, except for the locking pin which holds the front end in place. The Kempo juicer has a plastic locking pin, whereas the Hippocrates juicer features a stainless steel locking pin to keep the front end secure while you juice.
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.

The Oscar Vital Max 900 is around 15-20% more efficient in juice extraction other models and the juice is noticeably pulp free, which is the next most important quality after it being a living juicer.
With a simple change from juicing screen to mincing screen, you can make frozen fruit desserts, nut butters, organic baby foods, process pasta and noodles, enzyme rich soups and tasty dips.
The way in which a ‘living juicer’ works, in that it gently crushes all types of produce, thereby breaking open the cellulose wall and releasing the nutrients. Conventional centrifugal (fast spinning) juicers work on grating the produce at a high speed and flinging out the juice. Unfortunately, the massive amounts of air drawn into the juicer, causes oxidation which immediately begins to break down the nutrients, including most importantly the enzymes within the fruit and vegetables.
