Another Prestigious International Award for Green Star
Thank you for your past and continuing patronage in the Green Star Juicers, which include Green Power Gold, Green Star GS-1000, GS-2000, and GS-3000 juicers.
You may discover or be approached by various companies promoting a smaller twin-gear juicer marketed under a variation of the Green Power name, such as “Green Power Kempo”, “Hippocrates by Green Power”, "Green Power Ten", etc. They are trying to promote their machines as being newly designed in the new millennium, with new technological features, and that they are the new models in the Green Power line. Please, do not confuse their product, or company with us.
In order to avoid any confusion, and answer any questions that may have arisen due to the marketing of these “new” machines, we would like to clarify some facts:
These so-called “new” machines are not in fact wholly designed in the new millennium, but were designed in the early to mid-90s, and have been available in the United States beginning in 1998, from our company, since their initial date of production. We released, and are still selling, the machines in a limited test segment, however, we were not satisfied with the performance of these products, because of the smaller motor construction, and the lack of an internal motor cooling mechanism, which resulted in a tendency to overheat. We refrained from releasing them in the mainstream health products and natural foods market under the Green Power name, because the potential risk to our well-established reputation was unacceptable.
This smaller twin gear system being promoted should not be mistaken for the Heavy-Duty (HD) Twin Gear system found in the Green Star and Green Power Gold machines. The smaller gears, higher rotational speed, and the substantially reduced size of juicing chamber, straining screens, and motor construction of their machines are not refinements or improvements to the original Heavy-Duty (HD) Twin Gear system, but are a separate, untested system. Please click here to review the detailed overall comparison chart.
The HD Twin Gear system has been laboratory tested to show that the juices made using the HD Twin Gear machines are more stable and nutritionally superior. We have never seen any substantiating evidence from the smaller twin gear juicer companies to back up their claims, except for the resemblance to the HD Twin Gear system, and the reputation that it has won. However, these companies will often refer to the test results of the HD Twin Gear juicing system as if the tests were performed on their smaller twin gear juicer.
Since its introduction, the Green Power Gold (GP-E1503) juicer has garnered international acclaim from consumers and health professionals alike. It has even won various awards throughout the world. Some of the awards won by the Green Power Gold (GP-E1503) include:
May 1993, Grand Prize at the ’93 World Invention Contest
Pittsburg, U.S.A.
May 1994, Grand Prize at the ’94 World Invention Contest
Pittsburg, U.S.A.
Sept. 1994 Silver Prize at the Int’l New Technology Exhibition
Los Angeles, U.S.A.
Oct. 1994, Gold Prize at the New Products Exhibition
Germany.
Sept. 1996, Best Product – Equipment and General Health
ALIVE Academy of Nutrition Awards.
Some of the awards won by the Green Star include:
Sept 2002, Silver Award of Excellence – Equipment
ALIVE Academy of Nutrition Awards.
June 2003, 1st Place Stiftung Warentest - (German Consumer Reports)
Germany.
Sept 2004, Gold Award of Excellence – Equipment
ALIVE Academy of Nutrition Awards.
Oct 2005, Gold Award of Excellence – Equipment
ALIVE Academy of Nutrition Awards.
The Green Star juicer GS-1000, GS-2000, GS-3000, and GL-2000i models are the only direct descendants of the Green Power Gold machine, and exclusively share the same award-winning Heavy Duty (HD) Twin-Gear juicing system. The Kempo/GPT juicers obviously could not have won the awards mentioned above, as some of their distributors have claimed, since they were first released in 1998!
In 1998, Kempo Co., Ltd., and Green Power Ten Co., Ltd. were newly formed and began manufacturing the Kempo juicers, KP-E1201 and GPT-E1201 models, respectively. Both juicers were almost identical, except that they were made by different manufacturers with a different model numbers. There are slight differences in the appearance of the housing, as well as in the locking mechanism of the housing. Now, both models are known to be supplied solely by the Green Power Ten Co., Ltd.
The small twin-gear juicers now being marketed by these start-ups are not the same line of original Green Power juicers but are the direct descendants in the KP/GPT line of juicers. For example, Kempo Juicer by Crown Pacific Global Corp. and Hippocrates by Vitality 4 Life are the same GPT model (GPT-E1303), and Samson Ultra by Green Bison is a KP model (KP-E1301).
We hope that this article resolves any potential confusion that may have arisen, and answers any questions you may have had. If any further information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact us.
