I was watching in horror as I have broken my hydraulic from leaving it for longer than 10 seconds on high, no matter what I am more mindful of the machines power & I got it replaced. seriously this is the best juicer hands down, I also have a Breville Bluicer when I am lazy, but Norwalk is the best, I have had mine which is yellow for over 10 years and I had it shipped to Brisbane Australia, people always ask me what that machine is on my counter. when I tell them they are curious it does so many things and I still love it after 10 years when you realise that a lot of household appliances don't last 2 years!!
I've got tips for you. When you are juicing greens, they have a tendency of sticking to the juicing cloth so a good idea is to line the cloth with a brown paper napkin. Secondly, a good container to store the juice in is a canning jar. You put the juice in the canning jar but don't fill it to the top. then use a foodsaver to pump out all of the air and the juice lasts a long time.
I have been grinding vegetbles in a conical hand grinder then putting the ground up mass of vegtebles in a blender adding water to help blender grind up vegetebles then after the blender turns the veg. mass into a slurry I put the slurry in a filter bag and squezze it and get my juice that way
Thank you. Unfortunately my wife lost her fight with cancer. She did live a few years longer than the doctors said she would and had a great quality of life.
Hi Mark can you help , i have just purchased a Norwalk.. i'm in Uk so using a Glodsource step up step down transformer. However the first time i used it the transformer smoked and burned out . I got a new transformer same as and after pressing i can smell it overloading so i've stopped until i have a solution ... can you advise me ..
Have you ever experienced juice trickling down the machine from where the housing meets the base of the machine? I have my wing nuts screwed in tight but it happens every time. :(
That depends. All you get is juice, the pulp is discarded. I think it gets more "juice" than other juicers but you are discarding a fair amount of pulp. We also have a Twin Star and Vitamix. I like the Norwalk the most but it kind of depends on what kind of juice you are making.
Thanks for your answer. Did you hear about Omega vertical masticating HD juicer? It says that it "obtains the highest degree of extraction and the healthiest possible juice", and its low speed. Can you say something about it? Just saw it in one video and heard about Omega name sometimes.
My experience is limited to the Green Star (not Twin Star) and Norwalk. For the price I think the Green Star is a great value. I have not seen an Omega though. I do use a Vitamix for smoothies almost daily though.
Great video and idea with using the cloths... the bags and the press are quite small My dog eats the carrot pulp from my Norwalk and doesn't leave a scrap behind... Just saying! Norwalk should check their claims because it makes them look bad when someone like myself puts it to the test and proves them wrong.- they claim no animal will eat it because all the nutrients are gone. Also thy claim that is provides the most juice out of any juicer... I tested it next to my omega and got the exact same amount of juice... then i put the pulp from my omega in the norwalk press and got another 25%... I love the juicer dont get me wrong!... But check the facts NORWALK...It doesn't look good for they're credibility in regards to their other ridiculous claims like it has the most nutrients... at this point id like to see the evidence on that!! Peace peace... "Speak the truth Even if it kills you"- unknown
Yes, we found that a friend's bunny would eat our pulp. We were surprised by that. There is also juice left after pressing the cloths. I have a 12 ton press in my garage. I was surprised how much juice I could get using that press - you could not drink it though as it is not clean. I think they only use a 2 ton press to avoid breaking cloths/bags but who knows. There is still juice left even after multiple pressings with the Norwalk. I do think it makes the best tasting juice though.
@@markgunnison What was the 12 ton press you got? I just scooped up a used Good Nature ct7. I believe it is also a 12 ton press. Ive got an organic juice shop called Feelin O2 Good we specialize in prevention
@@markgunnison Awesome video! I thoroughly enjoyed it - thank you. By the way, I had no idea Harbor Freight existed 2+ decades ago, ha; mid 30s guy here. Semi-avid juice fantastic here since early 2011 and owner/tester of many press & twin gear juice extraction technologies. I'm curious if you have ever experimented with rearranging the pressed pulp after the initial press. I have had success with extracting additional juice that way, sometimes as much as an ounce. Procedure: 1) open press cloth after first press; square shaped press cake will lay in center of press cloth. 2) take the four corners of the press cloth, meet them together and form a fist grip over the corners. 3) With your fist clinched, lower your grip around the cloth a few inches - just enough to secure all the pulp. 4) break pulp within press cloth using opposite hand. 5) open press cloth and center the broken up. 6) re-press as you would a first time press. Works like a charm to get the pulp bone dry.

Yes, I think I have had mine for seven years or so. Currently I use it to make almond butter more than juice. It is a great juicer.
So glad I found your channel! My anxiety has dropped 75%. I’m ready!

Best Norwalk Juicer video I have ever seen! THANK YOU!
Thank you!
First I want to thank you for putting up such a great video! Second I love this juice and I can't wait to get one!
+Eszra Thanks, I still love my juicer and use it all the time.
Thank you, very valuable information, thank you for posting.
Nice juicer... only thing is that you should compost the leftover. I hope to get a juicer soon.
Thank you 😊 for the teaching tips on how to use the Norwalk juicer.
You are welcome. It was fun making the video.

gotta tell ya, best technique and video I've seen for the norwalk thus far!
Thanks!
It truly IS!
You can put bags in microwave for 20 secs @ no. 3 to sterilize completely and defrost
Very helpful tips!! Thanks
THIS IS A EXCELLENT VIDEO. YOU DID A GREAT JOB. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELPFUL TIPS. I HOPE YOUR WIFE IS WELL.
Thank you. Unfortunately my wife lost her fight with cancer. She did live a few years longer than the doctors said she would and had a great quality of life.
@@markgunnison Sorry to read this...
Hi Mark can you help , i have just purchased a Norwalk.. i'm in Uk so using a Glodsource step up step down transformer. However the first time i used it the transformer smoked and burned out . I got a new transformer same as and after pressing i can smell it overloading so i've stopped until i have a solution ... can you advise me ..
Sorry, I don't have any advice. You might call Norwalk. I called them once when having an issue and they were easy to deal with.
If you count up using the words, "one thousand and" and then the number, you'll be very close to exact.
Have you ever experienced juice trickling down the machine from where the housing meets the base of the machine? I have my wing nuts screwed in tight but it happens every time. :(
I would get that if I do a lot of juicing.
Have you replace the o ring/rubber seal?
What type of cloth did you use? And where did you get them?
I was using the cloths provided from Norwalk. I ordered them from the Norwalk webpage.
did your purpose for juicing with norwak work?
Wow.... this is so much work :( but thank you for the video and the tips.
Thanks for watching...
And, thanks for your tips
very well done man..U lost your wife (though u disproved those docs), but we sure hope u live upto 100..keep juicing & keep going..
Still juicing... Thanks :-)
What are the size of your measuring cups? (You say "3/4 of a cup' then you retract and say "3/4 of the container"?
You are correct. That would be three cups as I'm using a quart container. I had not noticed that.
can i juice stinging nettle with that or wheatgrass?
Why would you use something in a freezer, wrapped in plastic? They defeats the whole idea of having a Norwalk?
Pure is a the same as a Norwalk but with design improvements.
What kind of cloth is it that you used?
The one that came with the juicer. They need to be replaced after a while. We would get replacement cloths from Norwalk.
does this juicer make more juice than the others?
That depends. All you get is juice, the pulp is discarded. I think it gets more "juice" than other juicers but you are discarding a fair amount of pulp. We also have a Twin Star and Vitamix. I like the Norwalk the most but it kind of depends on what kind of juice you are making.

have you seen the juisir juicer ?
I don't know if it makes more because you get less pulp. I do think the juice is more juice like though.

@@coryjefferson6477 I have done that when pressing fruit but not veggies. Good idea!
You should compost that . What a waste
It would be better to compost the pulp, rather than throwing it in the garbage!
