Hi, PF

I'm thinking about buying a Juicer

Don't know anything about such stuff but I am sure you can suss them
out for me and advise.

Here's a one such & this seller also has others:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20685&item=4350897480&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

What do you think?

All the Best

Bryan

Bryan,

I have squeezed the 'Net for info about your Samson Matstone 6-in-1
Juicer (and juicers in general), and the results were quite tasty,
with a small amount of pulp.

"Matstone 6-in-One Multipurpose Juicer (aka Samson/Oscar)

I have recently acquired one of these juicers and must say that I have
been most impressed with its performance. It's a single auger, cold
press machine that works like a millstone. It's excellent for juicing
most kinds of fruit and vegetables and can also be used to juice
wheatgrass. I must say that it's surprisingly quiet for such a
powerful machine and is also very easy to clean and to assemble. It
operates at a low speed (80rpm), thus preserving most of the food's
nutrients and flavour. The Matstone has many other functions apart
from juicing though. Use it to make healthy 'ice-cream' from frozen
fruits such as bananas, to grind coffee beans, to make noodles, pasta
or rice cakes, to extract oil from seeds, or to mince seasonings and
other foods. I have also used mine to produce soya milk, although it
was rather weak. The Organic Gardening Catalogue are selling this
multi-purpose juice extractor for £275 (Tel: 0845 130 1304), but it's
also available from the FRESH Network for £249 (Tel: 0870 800 7070)
and for the bargain price of £149 from Soya Fresh! (Tel: 0845 330
6781). Juices are easily digested, high in vitamins and minerals and
are an excellent tonic food."

This messageboard provides two opposing opinions on the Samson Matsone 6-in-1:

"I decided to buy the samson 6 in 1.
I have only used it twice so far but I can say I am very pleased with
it. It is very easy to clean & dismantle.
I made lovely frozen bannana dessert - a must! and I juiced some veg
which tasted great & with no pulp.

I would definetly reccomend it to anyone who is looking for a good
quality juicer that is easy to use & clean. The only quibble is the
manual could do with full recipes rather than part of it e.g. rice
cakes.

The greenstar/power juicers are supposed to produce more of a superior
juice but the reason why I chose the samson is that I lack energy and
I wanted something easy to use & clean that would juice greeny leafs &
grass as well as veg etc and the samson does produce good quality
juice keeping the enzymes alive.

If I get any problems with it I will let people know because it maybe
helpful info for someone who is looking to choose a juicer (which can
be a nightmare!)

[ * * * ]

I own a samson 6 n 1 and wish I had bought a greenstar. I will give
this info for people who have not made the mistake of buying a Samson.
The Samson does a decent job of jucing sunflower sprouts if you put
them through like 4 times, I'm only doing sunflower and celery right
now because I am challinged with severe Leaky Gut. It does Wheatgrass
very well though, one drawback though is that the screen will crack
eventually if not right away. The good thing is that it dosent inhibit
the performance that I can tell. Mung beans do well also, most leafy
greens dont, I'm glad it does mostly what I need but otherwise it
sucks in my opionion. It is pretty well made though.... the samson is
a very well made machine but just finicky. I have found that it does
do leafy green but you have to put them in first, before any other
vegies. The one thing I would like to juice though is fenugreek and it
dosent do it. In its defense, probably only a twin gear will do this
well."

In short, it looks to me as if the Samson Matstone 6-in-1 Juicer is a
useful and well-made product, and the source you found on eBay offers
the device at an excellent price. If I had the moolah to spare, I'd go
for this gizmo.

This was an interesting research project which I shall remember the
next time I give one of my pets a squeeze. ;-)

Best,
Pink

Pink

You've made my day ... many thanks!

And would you believe that Phil would have had me going to Virginia or
some place to buy a $4 plastic gizmo?

It would have cost me more to get there than buying a DOZEN real juicers!

Between you and me, I don't believe that Phil is a researcher. Please
have him checked out.

Many thanks.

Bryan

Bryan,

And you reckon I'm so INNOCENT .. please consider a $4 alternative as
below. In time it too may be an appreciating asset. (Watch the "l" at
the end of the link now wrapped to the second line)

Kind regards from your partner in crime,

Phil

Wow, Phil ... Many thanks!

But you haven't revealed your Search Strategy!

And I thought that you had promised faithfully NOT to comment on ANY
question for 24 hours?

I suppose you realise that the Pink Lady is still tucked up in bed?

I promise you that she will be spitting pink-coloured brimstone when she surfaces.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

By Order of the Court

(Signed) Bryan

Sir Bryan,

You would remain one of few whom would hold me to that, considering
"that question". I congratulate and despise your memory at the same
time.

You are however correct kind Sir. I hold two excuses within the sleeve
of my forearm however. 1/ I was impelled to come to your aid,
regardless of your asking in direction of Pinkfreud to answer your
noble question my compatriot (albeit my residing within the colony of
New Holland) (In other words, I just had to sneak a look at your
words.) and 2/ The Southern hemisphere of my abode retains the
advantage of future time. The date on my computer is usually forward
one day of the question date. The confusion calls for a good excuse.

Either way Sir Bryan of Humble Hove, I trust that you will locate a
juicer conducive to your extraction.

Your friend in rusty armour,

Sir Phil

We paid almost $200 for a juiceman several years ago. The starting
winding of the motor developed an open circuit, I think. We then
bought a cheap knock off of the juiceman at Walmart for $50 which
jucies better, is easier to clean and has survived more minutes of
operation.   Neil

Bryan,

Thanks for the five succulent stars and the juicy ten-dollar tip!

Regarding our friend Phil, I believe he may be a bit addled because he
has been living on the bottom half of the planet, and all the blood
has run to the other end of his body.

Then again, maybe Phil's downunder posture gives him certain
advantages. After all, Australia is known for a huge augment, and a
rush'll grow. Er... excuse me... I've been informed that it is a Hugh
Jackman and a Russell Crowe. My mistake.

~Pink

in defense of Sir Phil,

maybe it's all just a matter of perspective:

Yes but we do know about juice in Australia. We drink a lot of it and
whether the fruit required is of the cooler climate variety such as
apples and pears or whether it be the tropical type  that is to be
squeezed such as pineapple, mango,banana etc it all comes from our own
big wide land. What's more  one  Aussie woman who began her own juice
business( retail shop drinks) only three years back has just sold it
to an American interest for $75,000,000.

   JFM

Aha!

So Phil is an Aussie is he?

Well ALL is now explained ... and I suppose he's among those who look
at the map upside down?

I can imagine the look on his face when I sell MY Juicer business for maybe $500.

Oh yes, the Pink Lady can invest in my new venture but I insist that
she uses Western Union and sends the funds in escrow.

All the Best to All

Bryan

Knights and Princesses,

Thank you ladies for coming to my defense. I might consider your
services again when I next appear in court.

Sir John of Magical Melbourne has made a valid point. Our abundance of
.. everything in fact .. puts us on TOP of the world. We are so
spoiled.

Sir Bryan, you would have to be the wittiest and funniest satirist
with whom I have ever conversed. Do enjoy the POMEgranates, cumquats
and imported Australian fruits of your labour.

Since I am a cowgirl kind of person, a Western Union sounds just fine.
Shall I send the moolah to S. Crow, whoever he may be?

wow, Phil, get a load o' them apples!

another reason to get WA and W.A. all mixed up!

ts

Pink Lady apples? 

I am sure that our Pink Lady could sue for breach of trademark.

Pink, please send your investment funds to Ray Bolger alias S Crow c/o Oz.

And now I know that you are a cowgirl kind of person, I need to know
would that be the Calamity Jane or the Annie Oakley type.
