SoloStar-II is the new and improved model of the SoloStar line of single-auger juicers. SoloStar-II features improved auger design and advanced filtering technology that has raised the bar for home juicers. It's the only juicer that features 2nd Generation Dual-Stage Juice Extraction - resulting in unsurpassed efficiency and versatility from a single-auger juicer. That means you get more delicious juice from a wider variety of fruits, vegetables, and grasses than ever possible from a single-auger juicer. Plus its gentle low-rpm juicing process delivers even more of the essential nutrition from every last drop of juice. SoloStar-II has shown dramatic improvements in performance over the original SoloStar. The original SoloStar was the first juicer to employ dual-stage juice extraction, which resulted in higher yields for single-auger juicers. Dual-stage juice extraction uses a two-step process to extract more juice from produce. In the initial crushing phase, juice is extracted before it can be reabsorbed into the pulp. In the second stage, the pulp is squeezed again to obtain the remaining juice. Although the original SoloStar showed dramatic improvements in performance over ordinary single-auger juicers, its performance with certain types of produce was limited. The performance of our dual-stage juice extraction process has not gone unnoticed. The SoloStar's reputation as the finest single-auger juicer available has led to competing models that have imitated our designs. In fact, new models introduced by our competitors feature the same dual-stage juice extraction process found in the original SoloStar. However, in response to our customers' desires (and in an effort to offer the latest juicing technology available) our researchers and engineers have developed the 2nd Generation Dual-Stage Juice Extraction process that makes the SoloStar-II the most versatile and most efficient single-auger juicer available. SoloStar-II is the only juicer to feature this new

I prefer the single gear juicer than the centrifuge kind. If you do not mind cutting up your vege & fruits like me. I like it because it is quiet & does a good job eventhough it only has a 180W motor. It "chews" slowly but thoroughly. I do not mind the low speed. I used to own a Samson but I think the Solostar II does a much better job because it has a longer and heavier auger. I think the single gear juicer does a better job in juicing leafy greens such as wheatgrass than the centrifuge kind. The juicer is heavy which I do not mind as long as it does a good job & runs quiet.

I purchased my Solo Star II in May 2008. I had a couple centrifugal juicers before I purchased the Solo Star II, so I was accustomed to shoving the carrots and other veggies and fruits down the chute quickly and having the juice come out just as fast.
The directions for the Solo Star II specifically say to cut the fruits and veggies you're juicing into small chunks about 1" long. I thought I could just push the carrots and other veggies down slowly, without cutting them into small pieces. It worked at first, but as time went on, the juicer was backing up, and there were chunks of carrots and other veggies in the juice. And my juicing screen cracked. I had it replaced under warranty.
After I got the new juicing screen, all was working as when I first got the juicer. However, shortly thereafter, the same problems started occurring again. Before I called customer support this time, I went back and read the instruction manual one more time. I decided to follow the instructions to the "t" and see if that made a difference. By George it did! The juicer started working flawlessly again. I experimented and tried cutting the carrots into 1 1/2" pieces when juicing. While the juicer didn't back up and there weren't chunks of carrots in the juice, there was more carrot pulp accumulated on the auger and in the juicing screen. When I went back to 1" pieces, again it worked flawlessly with less accumulation of pulp inside the juicer.
There's something to be said for following the directions - exactly. I've had my Solo Star II for a year now and as long as I take the time to follow the directions "exactly," it works flawlessly.

It's quiet. What a change from the previous juicer that sounded like a chainsaw in the kitchen. The only way I have to judge whether it seems to juice better is the dampness of the extruded pulp. This one makes far drier pulp than our previous. Juice is juice to me, but this one seems to work more effectively. And did I say it was quiet?

Drawbacks
My SoloStar II has been plagued by problems. In less than a year, many of the outer parts have broken. The juicing screen ($35.00) has broken three times. When the juicing screens break, it happens before the pulp container is even full. As a result, the auger and juicing screen need to be cleaned constantly within a session. The screen locking cap ($5.80) has also broken. Speaking of the auger, even that cracked ($35.00). Several times, I e-mailed customer service about such issues with no reply. When I called, Tribest Life promptly sent out free replacement parts.
Benefits
When the parts aren't breaking, the SoloStar II works very well. It's simple to assembly and operate. The actual extraction process seems efficient. Cleaning is a breeze since most of the parts rinse under the sink. The only cleaning challenge is the juicing screen. Along these lines, the modified toothbrush that comes with the unit is worthless. I now use a steel auto detailing brush that does a great job. The SoloStar II is visually pleasing and the unit operates at a good volume. I was inspired to purchase the juicer after watching the online video as hosted on the Tribest Life web page. It accompanies the juicer in VHS format. Being a first time juicer, this was extremely helpful.
In conclusion, there are benefits and drawbacks to the SoloStar II. While it may have been a good introduction to the juicing world, I definitely look forward to an upgrade. Talking to juicers (people who juice, not the machines;), it seems that you really need to spend around $350.00-$400.00 before getting a quality juicer. Should you decide to purchase the SoloStar II, make certain that you send in the warranty/registration card. That was essential in getting parts replaced at no charge.
