Miracle Exclusives – MJ445 Stainless Steel Manual Wheatgrass Juicer

We Came to an Understanding

I’m the besotted owner of a Norwalk 275 which by definition means that I’m lucky enough to own the best, most versatile juicer on the planet (not to mention one of the most expensive). And yes, it can juice wheatgrass and the result is of superb quality. The only problem is that it requires quite a lot of grass in order to do a good job, which isn’t always practical. Given that I wanted to incorporate wheatgrass into my daily routine (actually, I find that Kamut produces a much nicer juice) and that the $1300 Wheateena of my dreams is beyond my means, I decided to go for something manual. After extensive research, I settled on the Miracle MJ-445.

For the record, this juicer, with the exception of its finish, is identical to one marketed by Tribest called the “Hurricane” (also available through Amazon). The difference is that this one has a satin finish and the Hurricane’s is high-polish. I went for this one because I happened to find it used (seemed brand new to me) and so saved…

My arm’s tired

First off, absolutely solid construction. Bulletproof. It could stop bullets. You could juice bullets. If something fits, and you can turn the auger, you can probably juice or grind it into a palpable substance.

And depending on that substance, it’s easily cleaned. Running water and 2 minutes is generally enough to clear out the grass bits or coffee grounds and gun powder.

It does take some elbow grease, it’s easy enough to turn if you don’t overload it, or even if you do, but there’s a lot of turning involved and this takes time. Probably not a viable juicer for large quantities and multiple servings.

So, what does it do?

Wheatgrass: Excellent primary design function. It does a really great job at pulling the juice out, minus a few drops, in one pass.

Spinach: There isn’t a terrible mount of of juice in spinach leaves to begin with, and the pulp is still wet after mashing it up, but it’s better than a centrifuge…

Heavy Duty Manual Hand Juicer will last a lifetime!

The reviews for the Miracle juicer and Hurricane Juicer are on point with the pros/cons (especially MacGuffin’s review, I’d support every comment about the Miracle Juicer). The Hurricane manual juicer (which has 5 year warranty, polished finish) is identical to this Miracle Juicer, so the reviews for the Hurricane should reflect the performance of the Miracle Juicer. I chose the Miracle because it was cheaper price for me (free shipping and no tax). I just want to give the Miracle a review because there’s barely any and it should have more!

My initial wants for a manual juicer were: affordable auger type juicer, no electricity, efficient for leafy greens, quiet, easy to clean, and the potential to juice fruits and hard vegetables if chopped, less oxidation effect because its not centrifugal.

OPERATION of this juicer is very quiet and requires little effort in turning the handle, even when stuffing it with a lot of items. fruits and vegetables need to be chopped…
