Twin Health Living Juice Extractor
The Twin Health is the only twin-gear juicer in the UK which has all stainless steel gears. Perceived by its photo as an all-internal-stainless-steel machine, we must piint out that this is sadly untrue. Only the gears and visible exterior of this machine are in stainless steel.
Warranty: 3 years on motor, 2 years on parts, Lifetime on gears.
The Twin Health is a precision Twin Gear configuration, with 0.1mm gap between the gears. This figure compares identically with other twin gear juicers, and is arguably as close as you can get before the machine becomes unusable.
A low-speed rotation system with below 120 revolutions per minute (the Champion juicer operates at 1425 rpm) enables the preservation of almost the full amount of enzymes & nutritional benefits. Nutrients & enzymes in the plants are easily destroyed by frictional heat. When juicing with high speed centrifugal & masticating juice extractors, nutrients & enzymes of vegetables may be damaged seriously by frictional heat caused by rotation.
The Twin Health living juice extractor uses an ultra low-speed rotation system (only 70 to 80 rpm). This is the lowest speed of any Twin gear juicer. This very low speed is not implemented to save enzymes - there is no supporting evidence that this is any truer or speeds below 120rpm - but simply a speed which works efficiently on the extremely large and heavy gears.
Independant Review by Jill Swyers,
Hippocrates Health Educator
http://www.jillswyers.com/The gears themselves are large, heavy/cumbersome, and blunt. This makes cleaning, assembly/handling, and feeding produce a greater chore than with other twin gear systems.
Special Features:
The Twin Health has an automatic reverse function to preserve motor strain in instances of overload. In practice, this feature is irritating, glitchy, over-sensitive, and prone to failure. Juicers of this price range never suffer mechanical or motor failure, only parts breakages (usually due to misuse/overuse). However, with the Twin Health I have witnessed nose cone cracks and electrical failures - there is just too much 'technology' at the control panel level.
Sanitation:
The Twin Health declares a high degree of sanitation due to the implementation of stainless steel. I like this aspect but must point out that the locking arms (the parts displaying a yellow circular logo in the photos) have deeply sunken grooves in them and are impossible to clean. Again, behind the juicing drum (where there is inevitably some juice leakage on EVERY juicer regardless of claims to the contrary) there are unecessary depressions that are impossible to clean.
Conclusion: I have ruled out usage of this machine on the premise of poor sanitation alone. Upon receiving the unit for testing I had to spray the entire machine with hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, the locking-arm approach, similar to the Green Star is not well thought out
