Compact
Multi-Function Juicer & Mincer
- Type:
Single gear / masticating
- Warranty:
12 years on motor, 6 years on parts
- Dimensions:
Length 250mm, Height 240mm, Width 180mm
 
This is the
first new design machine we've seen in a decade. Constructed to use
minimal bench space and incur 95% less parts breakages, the Compact
has more functions then any other juicer due to the separate mincing
assembly which compliments the food processing functions of this
all-star juicing machine.
This is
simply the best single gear multi-function juice extractor on the market
The
robust Compact machine juices all fruits and vegetables including wheat-grass.
You can also make pasta, noodles, baby food, soups, nut butters, dressings,
dips, salsas, frozen fruit sorbets, purees, burgers/patties & raw
food treats, grind seasonings as well as properly mince fish, meat and
make sausages. Not sure? let's show you the photos of the Compact at
work.

10 features of the Compact juicer as reported by our customers
- Amazingly quiet to run
The
low RPM of the Compact means that it doesn't wake the neighbours
or vibrate everything on your kitchen counter. Many customer
honestly tell us that their old juicer gave them concerns
about damaging their hearing! |
- Quick & easy cleaning
Less
parts and a small sieve (jucing screen) means you can clean
up in about a minute. The Compact even comes supplied with
a special cleaning brush (you'd call it a big toothbrush). |
- Simple & safe assembly
& disassembly
Single
gear design is inherently simple to put together and take
apart, and as there are no cutter blades all parts are completely
safe for children to handle and you need take no additional
caution when handling the parts for cleaning. |
- Maximum retention of nutrients
& living enzymes
The
low RPM (75-85) of the Compact and the gentle crushing and
squeezing process, is similar to a Cold-Press method, therefore
generating minimal friction heat. Your juice can retain up
to 60% more nutrients than conventional juicers and the valuable
enzymes remain alive. The Live Enzymes are what aid your digestion
and help your body absorb nutrients, boost your energy levels
and immune system.
As an
added bonus, your juice remains stable, nutritious and fresh
for up to 48 hours (juice may be stored in a sealed container
in the fridge). |
- Higher yield with drier
pulp
Since
the advent of gear-type juicers in the early nineties the
auger designs have been continously improved to the point
where single gear now yields like twin gear. Thus as a fairly
new design machine you can expect the very highest in yield
while not compromising the ease of use of single gear juicers. |
- Bonus mincing attachment
with unique sausage maker attachment
No
other electric juicer has the mincing attachment (the Go-Juice
Manual Juicer & Mincer has a separate mincing assembly)
and ONLY the Compact Juicer has the sausage maker attachment.
These unique accessories extend the food processing functions
in numerous ways - not just in the handling of meat &
fish. Often you may only want to 'mince' foods and not completely
homogenize them, which is what the standard food processing
cone achieves on this & all other single gear juicers. |
- Pasta & noodle maker
attachments
Separate
nozzles for spaghetti, tagliatelle & even breadsticks
means you'll never run out of ideas. |
- Faster juicing then any
other machine with no stopages
| The Compact
Juicer is quicker than any other gear juicer - without compromising
juice quality or nutrient integrity: The reason for this is
a major re-think with the choice of motor. Other gear-type juicers
operate an AC motor, where as the Compact utilizes a DC motor.
A DC motor is better able to deliver power variably and thus
is both more power efficient and also emits less heat. Critically,
the DC motor of the Compact Juicer doesn't react to resistance
by halting but rather by slowing down. Thus you can juice continuously
compared with other gear juicers that halt regularly - slowing
you down and causing parts damage. In fact the Compact Juicer
achieves 95% fewer parts breakages. |
- 12 years warranty on motor
& 6 years warranty on parts
Whilst
other juicers have similar warranties, we truly believe the
Compact will stand the test of time, particularly on parts
wear, due to the implementation of a DC motor. The supplier
currently reports around 95% fewer parts breakages over older
design AC motor machines. |
- Compatibilty with optional
accessors
| The Compact
is compatible with the two popular Matstone accessories: The
Salad Slicer available
for only £19.99 and the Oil
Extractor now available for only £69.99. |
How
does the Compact Juicer achieve 95% less parts breakages?
To best answer
that question we should first answer why parts breakages occur at all.
Except in rare circumstances of manufacturing defect, parts breakages
occur when a machine is over used - either the machine is used for too
long or too heavily. All juicers of this type carry a 50% duty cycle
motor, which means that you can operate for around 20-30 minutes and
must then rest the machine for a similar time. Parts breakages under
extended periods of non-intermittent use cannot be avoided - the stresses
are too great as the temperature of all parts rise. Obviously a higher
temperature is not good news for your juice so quite simply: keep to
the recommended operation times with all juicers. With regard to heavy
use - this is common with gear-type juicers because the feeding process
is slow compared with centrifugal type machines, and quite naturally
people want things to happen faster. What people usually don't perceive
is that food entering the machine must logically exit the machine at
the same rate, otherwise the pressure inside rises until the resistance
on motor reaches a tipping point: The result is that the motor and all
parts suddenly halt. This is why gear-type juicers include a reverse
function, so that you can back up and attempt to clear the blockage.
But what happens during the sudden stop, is that both the motor and
parts are jolted causing an accumulation of minute stress damage. Eventually,
and usually without any prior warning, something breaks. It may be the
gear, the juicing screen, or worse the gearbox - but in any case you
are left without a functioning juicer, and unless your reseller is especially
sympathetic you will have to pay for replacement parts. Are the manufacturers
continually trying to strengthen the parts to avoid breakage? Yes and
no - there's little more that can be done, and spare parts is profitable
business. But the Compact juicer is different. The Compact was designed
from the ground up with longevity in mind, and the primary feature that
gives such last-ability to its parts is a new technology in the motor
that avoids the 'jolt' described above. Simply, the motor is sensitive
enough to slow down under increased pressure, so that a final halt doesn't
come as a stress-causing jolt. In our extended tests we were unable
to get the Compact Juicer to halt at all and marvelled at how instead
it would slow down and not block. The meant that juicing and food processing
was far quicker then with other single gear extractors.
Only
the Compact juicer comes supplied with a separate mincing attachment
with sausage making accessories. This is a superb compliment to the
other food processing functions of this multi-function juicer. Sometimes
the 'grinding' function of single gear juicers isn't suitable, particularly
for mincing. Now you know you'll have the right accessory whatever the
task.

"What
sets the new Compact multipurpose juicer/mincer apart from regular
juicers, is that it can juice just about anything including wheatgrass.
It will grind coffee beans, make nut butters, humus, pesto, salsa,
dressings, dips, baby food, pasta and frozen desserts. It even has
a completely separate mincing attachment that will professionally
mince meat, chicken and fish as well as a sausage making nozzle.
You won't believe how quiet the machine runs and how easy it is
to clean, making it one of the most versatile and best value kitchen
appliances available today."
