Rolls-Royce of Juicers,
This quality juicer is a beast of a machine that squeezes every last drop out of anything you want to juice.
The Angel is a pleasure to use, easy to clean and creates delicious drinks with 2-3 times more juice (and nutrients) than any juicer I have owned.
JUICE
The most important part of a juicer, juice from the Angel tastes delicious and makes too much to drink!
I make a Dr. Oz “Fresh” Juice daily, using celery, apple, spinach, cucumber, lemon, lime, ginger and parsley. Using 1kg (35 ounce) of ingredients the Angel Juicer returns 894gms (31 ounce) of juice, making it almost 90% efficient at extracting liquid from the mentioned ingredients.
The Angel excels at leafy greens, but is also very impressive with fruits. Pomegranate juice is highly recommended, to make you strong like bull!
Orange, pineapple or grapes are almost as yum, and as there is very little pulp ejected, juices taste more flavoursome and have a consistency better than any I have tried from another juicer, carton or juice bar.
There is very little foam produced perhaps around 2-5% of total juice content.
The Angel also makes soy milk, nut butters and seed juice, although I have never made these.
EASE OF USE
The Angel is quickly and easily assembled with a simple on and off function, however it is slower than a centrifugal juicer in extracting juice.
The twin screws quietly and slowly chew the juice out rather than spinning it out at high speeds like a centrifugal juicer. This is a Rolls-Royce juicer for a luxurious drink, if you want a fast drink buy a Ferrari Breville juicer or something.
If produce is inserted too quickly, a mushy goop at the bottom of the feeding shoot appears and eventually a couple of drops will leak from the clamping mechanism. This is the biggest annoyance I have encountered with the juicer, but rarely problematic if produce is inserted slowly enough.
So, instead of washing, cutting and juicing all the fruit/vegetables at the same time, I find it easier to chop then juice, chop then juice, giving the Angel ample time to squeeze everything out, taking less than 5 minutes all up, for 1kg of Fresh Juice.
You can put things like apple seeds into the twin gears without change in taste to the juice, but many lemon seeds make a juice bitter.
CLEANING
To make the machine spotless takes a good few minutes. All non-motor parts except for the screen mesh need just a quick wash under the tap(faucet)
Other reviewers stated finding it difficult to clean the screen, and it can be awkward at first, but much less so than centrifugal juicers with their myriad of parts and clamps. I found the screen much easier to clean if liquidy produce, such as lemon, is juiced after more fibrous produce such as celery.
Then only a wash under the tap with a few scrapes on the outside and a few scrubs on the inside (with the included scraper and brush) is needed. When juicing pomegranates, everything washes away with a quick splash with no scrubbing required.
As everything is stainless steel, there are no plastic bits to discolour, meaning that everything looks brand new if wiped clean with a dry cloth. After months of use the juicing parts do not have a single water mark, scratch or stain on them, but the stainless steel motor unit has a couple of faint water marks which may be annoying if you are a perfectionist like me.
After a few months of daily use, a slight calcium residue appeared on the juicing parts but a vinegar soak and a toothbrush, as per the manual instructions, dealt with that.
BUILD QUALITY
The motor unit is a monster with a 5 year warranty, but like most quality products I expect it to last much longer than the stated guarantee. Both the motor and the twin screws are very heavy and sturdy feeling. In comparison the mesh screen is very light, but is strong and its weight beneficial when cleaning. The wooden plunger is of excellent quality, as it has not stained or split at all.
The plastic juice and pulp containers however, are weak, scratched quickly from cleaning and stain if left dirty. The benefits of having an all stainless steel juicer means no contact with (potentially toxic or gender bending) plastics, and promoted in detail on the Angel website, so why a cheap plastic container was provided is beyond me.
I replaced the plastic juice container with a 1 litre Pyrex jug which works better as a juice receptacle.
When switched on the Angel is remarkably quiet, with most of the noise coming from the internal cooling fan. During use, the Angel is a little noisier than a loud fridge, but much, much quieter than a centrifugal juicer, ie. you can still hold a…

|Worth it,
I did a fair amount of research before buying this unit. It lived up to what was written:
1. Sucks every bit of juice out of vegetables and fruits through super-efficient trituration. Trituration basically means grinding, in this case with two heavy stainless gears. Grinding saves the enzymes in the fruit and vegetables. Cheaper models slice, which heats, kills and overly oxygenates them. The SA spits out pulp which is so dry that it made my mouth very dry for a while the first, and last, time I tasted it.
2. Can juice pretty much anything that is juiceable. This includes the exotics, like wheatgrass, nuts etc. No adjustments are necessary for different types of inputs.
3. Easy to clean as juicers go.
4. Doesn’t take up a lot of space.
5. Kind of cool looking. The ultimate gadget to show off.
I don’t know whether the less expensive twin-geared juicers that triturate can do the same. I just know this unit does it great. I also read that it’s a lot easier to clean than the more expensive (more than 2X) Norwalk juicer.
If you’ve got a grand to spare, it’s a good investment for your health and the health of your family. It is very well built and will last a long time. It won’t be thrown away in a few years like a similarly or higher priced laptop.
Best of luck whatever you decide!
PS The unit appears to be made in South Korea and it looks like they are disguising that fact by prominently labeling that it’s from usjuicers.com and not putting the country of origin. I am American. I have no problem with the fact that the unit is made in South Korea. I just wish they would label it as such. I also wish South Korea made it as easy for Americans to sell products there as it is for South Koreans to sell products here.
Anyway, sorry for digressing. If you are stuck on buying a top quality American made juicer, try the Norwalk model. As I mentioned above, it’s a lot more expensive and may be tougher to clean and operate as well. You can see the video for the Norwalk juicer here. http://www.nwjcal.com/video.htm. I think the Super Angel is easier to operate and clean.

|Amazing Juice Yield, But Pain to Clean,
Angel Juicer:
INCREDIBLE Juice Yield. The pulp is super dry.
(I use to have a Breville Juice Fountain Plus- The pulp from the Breville(Centrifugal Force Juicer) was very wet. Breville would juice Carrots, Cucumbers, Apples, Even Kale pretty well producing 60% Juice and 40% Pulp. But the Breville was unbelievably easy to clean by comparison. After a year of juicing with the Breville, I got my cleanup time to about 3-4 minutes and then stuck it in the dishwasher and it was ready to go the next day)
Angel Juicer- I can not stress this enough, but the pulp was extremely dry. The angel juices spinach + other greens, brocolli, etc. very very well. It is time consuming to juice since the feed chute is smaller than the breville and the juiceman.
I estimate that the angel produces between 75-85% juice of whatever vegetable or fruit you put in. Even though it seems like you get only 15-20% more juice, the quality is far, far, far, superior than the Breville and the Juiceman.
Now for the bad part:
The cleanup for the angel is way longer. Initially, when I first used the angel juicer, it took me 35 mins to clean. Especially if you juice carrots, the pulp gets lodged inside the holes in the screen.
I originally purchased the angel juicer because I figured there are only 3 parts to clean (2 twin gears and 1 screen). The plus side is that the gears are very easy to clean, just pour water on it and the pulp just rinses away.
The screen is a different story altogether. The screen Length is very long which is great for getting a high juice yield but tough to clean. Your hands can not reach all the way inside so you have to use the included brush and then scrub scrub scrub for a very long time.
(However, I have not tried putting it in the dishwasher or used vinegar to clean it because the juicer is expensive and I did not want the juicer to be damaged with high heat from the dishwasher.)
My recommendation: Its an ok Juicer, I am not sure if I will juice everyday if the total time to juice is over 40 minutes (minimum).
For me, I am going back on the hunt to find a juicer that juices greens as well as the angel does but takes half the time to clean. Hope this helps.
