Green Power Kempo Juicer KP 1304 Red

The Green Power Kempo is from the same stable as the Hippocrates and Samson Ultra and the machines have the same juicing parts. There are slight differences in the cosmetics and accessory levels between the versions available but the performance is the same. The attraction of this model comes from the full accessory pack worth over £50, which is included in the excellent price. Given that its performance is the same as the other compact Twin Gear machines from the same manufacturer, we think this one offers excellent value.

It has a separate set of gears and parts for wheatgrass that perform better than the normal juicing gears when making this potent juice. It has separate screens for vegetables, fruit and crushing/pureeing functions and a separate pulp pressure adjuster for soft fruits. It can be used to make nut butter and frozen fruit sorbets. Also included in the box are pasta and noodle attachments and a DVD. The DVD gives a quick visual reference before you start juicing with the Green Power Kempo for the first time.

The pulp control nozzle is easily accessible and the low speed twin gears share the familiar "Bio-Magnetic" technology that is claimed to preserve the juice for longer periods. Magnets are fitted in the base of the jug too and a stainless steel pulp catcher is also included (click on the 'view large images' button above to view all the parts).

Like all Twin Gear machines, this model is excellent at making green juices. Herbs, wheatgrass, brassicas and all other healthy greens are thoroughly pulverised by the closely fitting gears that grind everything to a fine pulp.

Available in white or metallic red, the Green Power KP-1304 offers excellent value and it is lighter and more compact than some other Twin Gear machines. The separate wheatgrass gears will increase the appeal even further for some juicing enthusiasts.
