What Attracted Me to the Tribest Solostar 4:
Can be used without electricity with the z-star conversion kit.
15-year warranty (Major Caveats: later I found out this is only if you register it within 10 days of purchse. The screenshot of the Solostar 4 in my Amazon purchase history wasn’t good enough. Tribest emailed me, asking for a screenshot of the invoice.)
Videos of people juicing whole limes with the peel and everything
Videos of juicing celery with no clogs and no cutting needed.
What Caused Me to Return the Solostar 4:
Screen locking cap opened the very first time I used it, on my attempt to juice a lime and half a cucumber.
Juicing celery pushed out almost no pulp as the end cap clogged.
Juicing carrots made the screen locking cap come off.
The juicing screen is difficult to clean.
If you’d like to see for yourself:
I wanted to love the Tribest Solostar 4.
I wanted to get the z-star conversion kit to use it even for camping and power outages.
I wanted it to juice whole limes, peel and everything, and celery with no drama.
Sometimes we don’t always get what we want.
