Turning the handle by hand drives the single auger that extracts the juice. The handle on the z-star is slightly longer than on most manual wheatgrass juicers and it requires slightly less effort to turn the handle. The extracted juice is collected in a supplied juice jug that sits neatly in the base of the machine. As well as being used for wheatgrass juice extraction, the z-star can also be used to juice fruits and vegetables, however if you juice a LOT of fruit and vegetables each day then you will be better off with an electric juicer for fruit and vegetables.

Its ability to juice more than just wheatgrass along with its small size when compared to electric juicers makes it ideal for travelling with. We think the Z star is the best manual wheatgrass juicer available. Its design has been carefully considered by Tribest, raising the bar and setting a standard for other manual wheatgrass juicers to match.

Feeding wheatgrass through the Z Star took no longer than feeding it through an electric juicer and little effort was required turning the crank handle. The Z star did manage to juice carrots but a good deal more pressure was required to push the carrot down onto the auger. The carrot juice also contained a good deal of pulp and so I found it preferable to put the juice through a sieve.

The carrot pulp was successfully ejected. The Z star also managed to juice apples although the pulp ejection system did get clogged up and I had to disassemble the juicer to clear the blockage. Again the juice produced was quite pulpy. I would not recommend the Z star for juicing large amounts of fruit and vegetables but it is certainly capable of juicing small amounts even though the juice may contain a large degree of pulp.

One design flaw of the Z star manual juicer is the juice jug that catches the juice. It fits neatly into the juicer body but it's length reaches to right underneath the pulp ejection hole.

This means that sometimes I found the ejected pulp falling into the juice jug, thus introducing more pulp into the juice. How such a simple design fault could have been overlooked I am not sure. However this can be easily remedied by using an alternative vessel for catching the juice in. Disassembling the Z star normally takes less than 30 seconds although I found when juicing carrots the unlocking end part of the juicer had formed some kind of vacuum seal with all the pulp that had been forced up against the pulp ejection section.

It required a good minute of effort in twisting the end to unlock the juicer.
