Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)After a lot of research I bought the Weil and the Tribest Citristar knowing one was getting returned. This is a comparison of both.
The Weil is 30 watts stronger, I'll give it that. It's much harder to stop the Weil than the Citristar with your hand but both motors are more than capable of the job. It is also a bit better looking, being steel on the outside vs. plastic. Cons are:
1. Not very big at base, therefore tends to wobble just a bit at times. Tribest has much larger base and is far sturdier.
2. The reemer isn't wide enough so instead of just pressing down you have to kind of squeeze the sides into it to extract all the juice. Also, half the ridges on the reemer or smooth and curved instead of coming to a point. This prohibits it from really tearing into the flesh of the fruit and extracting all the juice. I compared both with the same amount of oranges and the citristar extracted about 10% more juice than the Weil.
3. The reemer on the citristar is much sturdier due to the shaft it sits on being twice as big as the Weil.
Both were comparable in noise level in that the Citristar is slightly louder but the Weil has a much higher pitched squeel to it that I thought was a bit irritating. Cleanup for both was very easing. Both seemed to have the same pulp content in the juice. Generally, I feel the Citristar is a better all around juicer. The Weil seems more like asthetics may have been the top priority. Weil introduced this juicer with a whole lineup of kitchen appliances instead of focusing on just this product. It's advertised as being Swiss. I don't quite see it. Overall, it's a decent juicer but for the current price of $80 to $100 either get the Citristar or step up to the Breville Citrus Press.
