Functionality
The Super Angel Juicer is capable of processing the widest range of ingredients with outstanding yield results:
- This juicer outshines other masticating machines when juicing hard produce such as carrots, beets, cabbage, broccoli, ginger, and other veggies;
- It also shows the same best result across masticating juicers for firm fruits like apples, pears, and others;
- It will double the competitors when juicing wheatgrass or pine needles;
- The same best yield it delivers from juicing leafy greens including spinach, kale, angelica, and others;
- It can perfectly well juice grape, peeled oranges, and kiwi, also showing the best result among all masticating juicers; squeeze out nearly all the juice and leave pulp dry. It works very well on leafy greens so that nothing is left to waste;
- The Super Angel is capable of juicing soft fruits like pineapple, plum (without stone), blueberry, and bananas; however, it shows the second-best result after the vertical single auger juicer when juicing them with standard extracting housing, it delivers the same result as slightly outperform the vertical juicer with soft fruit extracting housing;
- The same applied to the softer veggies like cucumber and tomatoes; the coarse screen housing is capable of achieving a better result than juicing them with standard Fines Screen Extracting Housing;
- The Super Angel is very good at making combo juice, which includes nuts, buckwheat, and other non-standard ingredients along with the carrot, melon, and beets;
- With the optional Grinding Extracting Housing, the Super Angel performs a range of homogenizing tasks such as making frozen desserts, raw soups, smoothies, sauces, baby food, grinding beans, coffee, and other ingredients;
- While it can make nut butter with Grinding Extracting Housing, the dedicated Nut Butter Extracting Housing will show even better results.
Another good thing about the Super Angel juicer is that it does not produce a lot of foam (2–5% only) when juicing leafy greens and spinach, unlike most other twin gear juicers in particular (the foamiest ingredient). That means that Angel Juicer gets more juice from ingredients than other extractors because the more foam juicer produces, the less juice yield it gets.
Besides, the Super Angel delivers the best juice quality juice long shelf life of up to 48–72 hours and an outstanding yield for most ingredients across all twin gear machines. Furthermore, as a result of its state of art twin gears design, it can extract most of the nutrients out of any produce.
Motor Base Unit
All Super Angel model Motor Base Units are made from the FDA food-grade approved stainless steel and include the following parts — the motor, gearbox, cooling system unit, safety sensors, and control panel.
Motor: The motor boasts 180 watts (1/4HP) power, which consigns a 3 HP grinding force to rotate the twin gears set with the 82 RPM speed.
Safety Features:
- The red rocker On/Off switch at the back of the unit prevents juicer activation if the user accidentally touches the control panel;
- The juicer will not run if not assembled the right way.
- It also has an inbuilt thermostat (self-controlling motor thermal sensor), which means if the internal temperature of the juicer rises above 158 F/70C, a short beep will sound, the motor will stop running, and the power indicator light will start blinking, the cooling fan will be working on dropping the juicer’s internal temperature, ones the internal temperature drops below 140 F/60c, the power indicator will light up again with a short beep sound, and you will be able to use the juicer again;
- The built-in clutch will prevent operation if you accidentally place a hard item like a knife in the feeding chute;
- The machine is also protected from electric shock with isolation between the engine and chassis.
The back of the unit also has a cord connector and spare fuse groove.
Control panel: The side of the Motor Base features the control panel, which is equipped with START, STOP, REVERSE buttons, and a power indicator light. The START button is designed to start running the juicer, and the STOP button stops the process.
If jamming occurs when operating the Super Angel Plus model, the user has to press the REVERSE button for 2–3 seconds and then press the start button to continue the juicing process. For Pro and Premium Deluxe models, the REVERSE function will activate automatically without users’ need to touch it.
Twin Gear Set
The Super Angel gears are made from solid FDA-approved food-grade antibacterial stainless steel (sus304 for Plus and Pro models and sus316 surgical grade for Premium Deluxe model) with no breakable plastic edges.
They rotate at low 82 RPMs using a speed reducer device that exerts the torque enough for processing even the most difficult ingredients such as fibrous plants, stringy veggies, sprouts, and wheatgrass.
The Super Angel gears twin gear set is constructed with two interlocking gears that have a mere 0.1 mm (4/1000 of an inch) space between them that allows extracting most of the nutrients from the plans by crushing even the 5 micron-sized bits. They also have the largest length size across all twin gears — 8 ⅜ inches /212.7mm long and 1⅜ inches /34mm in diameter.
The Super Angel features a three-stage twin gear system for efficient juice extraction. (1) Stage one is the first part of the gear steep crannies section that applies concentrated pressure on ingredients; this stage is responsible for 60% of juice yield. (2) Stages two has flatter angle spiral crannies, it is grinding and mixing ingredients imitating Norwalk presser level 1, and this stage is responsible for 30% of juice yield. (3) Stage three has even the flatter angle spiral crannies; it will also grind ingredients, squeeze all the last drops from the pulp, and add the final 10% to yield.
Extracting Housing
Unlike any other single auger or twin gears juicers, Super Angel encompasses a few parts into one Extracting Housing, while with other juicers, it will be 2–6 separate parts. So, it features one solid piece: a juicing drum, a feeding chute with a funnel, and juicing screen.
Feeding Chute and Funnel: Although the Super Angel Juicer comes with a wider range than most horizontal masticating juicers feed openings — 1.7 inches/43 mm in diameter – it still requires pre-cut most of the ingredients.
The pre-cutting is a standard pre-juicing procedure for all horizontal machines. It is the best practice to feed the horizontal masticating juicer with a small amount of ingredients piece by piece. Otherwise, you may overload the chute, and it will jam or deliver a lower yield than usually because the slow rotating twin gears are not designed to grab a lot of food at a time and thus will not be able to process the cellulose fiber efficiently and extract all the nutrients locked in the fruits and veggies cells.
Juicing Screen: The juicing screen section of Extracting Housing has three-stage screen filters that correspond to each of the three helical gears stages and maximize pure juice yield, resulting in almost 20 to 30% more juice extracted from other juicers. The three (3) stage screen features the coarse holes at the first stage and is finer than the third one.
Juice Guide: The Super Angel Juicer has a unique construction with the guide (slide panel) at the end of the juicing screen, which directs the juice flow down to the juice container and does not allow to splash it around.
O‑Rings: The set also includes a silicone O‑Ring (plus 2 extra) that goes between the housing and the motor shaft for better sealing; it prevents liquid from leaking from the connecting part.
Magnetic sensor: This another Super Angel unique feature is located at the bottom part of the extracting housing and serves for safety reasons; it does not allow the juicer to start operation if it is not assembled properly.
No Pulp Adjustment Knob Needed: It does not have any pressure adjustment option for the pulp; the Angel process efficiently all types of food without this.
Splash Guard
It is simply a cover plate that fits the top of the Extracting Housing and prevents juice from splashing around. Therefore, it is not necessary to fit Splash Guard when juicing fibrous fruits and veggies, leafy greens, and wheatgrass. However, it is better to use Splash Guard for juicing carrots, beets, apples, etc.
Containers
All models of Super Angel Juicer come with a premium Pyrex round-shaped Glass Juice Container with a capacity of 1 Quart/4 cups/32 oz./1000ml and a square-shaped plastic pulp collection container with a capacity of 48 fl. oz./1400 ml.
Accessories and Replacement Parts
The Super Angel manufacturer offers a few optional attachments that expand the Juicer functionality:
Super Angel Soft Fruit Extracting Screen Housing (available SUS-304 Food Grade S.S. and SUS-316 Surgical Grade S.S. versions) – this housing replaces the standard Super Anger extracting housing; it has a coarse screen hole instead of fine in standard housing and is used for juicing soft fruits and veggies, such as citrus, grapes, strawberries, pineapples, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
Super Angel Nut Butter Grinding Housing (available SUS-304 Food Grade S.S. and SUS-316 Surgical Grade S.S. versions )- This solid stainless steel housing without the screen operated at a higher pressure than standard housing and is used for processing nut butter. Although this housing is also perfectly capable of producing frozen treats, sauces, hummus, and more, you can also buy dedicated grinding housing.
Super Angel Grinding Housing (available SUS-304 Food Grade S.S. and SUS-316 Surgical Grade S.S. versions) – this housing is designed for a variety of homogenizing tasks such as making sorbet, and sauces, hummus, salsa, and more.
All replacement parts are available to buy from the manufacturer and other retailers, including twin gears, standard housing, pulp, juice containers, etc.
Assembling/Disassembling and Cleaning
The Super Angel Juicer is constructed from only 4 main parts. Thus, it is super easy to assemble/disassemble and not as laborious as most twin gear triturating juicers to clean.
Assembling/Disassembling: Insert the twin gears into the driving shaft, carefully align the shaft teeth with gear teeth, slide the Extracting Housing over the twin gears and connect it to the Motor Base Unit by tightly securing down the Locking Clamp inbuilt into the motor unit. Fit the Splash Guard on the top of the Extracting housing when needed. Place the juice container directly under the juice guide panel and the pulp collector under the pulp outlet. Connect the power cord to the Motor Base and plug it into the electrical outlet. Turn the red Power Rocker Switch on the Motor Base Unit’s back panel to the ON position.
Now The Super Angel Juicer is ready to operate.
Control Panel and Operation: The Angel Juicer, like any other juice extracting machine, has a straightforward control panel. It comprises the REVERSE, STOP, and START buttons, and a red POWER indicator light. When you switch the power switcher on the base unit’s back, the juicer must be indicated by lighting the red light on the control panel. Now push the Start button and slowly start to insert the ingredients into the feeding chute helping with the food pusher. If your machine jams, just push the Reverse button. When you finish juicing, press the Stop button.
Cleaning: The Super Angel Juicer must be cleaned immediately after using it; otherwise, it may accumulate screen clogging that may cause the juice yield drop ratio.
The Super Angel Juicer has only two (3) — Extracting Housing and 2 Gears — or three (4) parts (if you use Splash Guard) to clean, and it is, no doubt, the easiest Twin Gears machine to clean. Twin Gears and Splash Guard are very easy to clean, you just have to rinse them under the running water, while the Extracting Housing is more complicated to clean, and its screen part is the most labors part which requires about 4–5 minutes. You will need to use a cleaning brush and screen scrapper provided in the package, and it will take about 4–5 minutes.
You may also pre-soak the screen area of the Extracting Housing for easier cleaning; however, you must not ever soak the sensor area; otherwise, it may compromise the Super Angel Juicer operation ability.

Angel Plus vs. Angel Pro vs. Angel Premium Deluxe vs. Angel Deluxe Juicers
There are three (3) different models in the Super Angel range and (two) 2 extra packages. They all come with identical interior design, motor, auger design, same controls, and Extracting Housing. The functionality and yield are also the same for all three Super Angel models, while 2 extra packages come with extra Extracting Coarse Screen Housings.
Super Angel Plus Juicer (known as 5500 in Europe and Australia) is a based Super Angel model. It is 100% made of SUS-304 high-quality food-grade stainless steel and comes with a Manual Anti-Jamming Auto-Reverse system. In the event of a jam, it will beep, then stop automatically. The user has to push and hold for 2 seconds the REVERSE button on the control panel that will move the jammed food backward, release the REVERSE, and presses the FORWARD button to start the machine operating again.
Super Angel Pro Juicer (known as 7500 in Europe and Australia) is also made of SUS-304 high-quality food-grade stainless steel; however, it has an Automatic Anti-Jamming Auto-Reverse feature. When the jamming occurs, the juicer will beep. The automatic Auto-Reverse system will stop the motor, reverse it, and set it FORWARD again automatically without the user touching the control panel.
Super Angel Premium Deluxe Juicer (known as 8500in Europe and Australia) is made of high-quality food-grade SUS-304 (Motor Base Unit exterior) and surgical-grade SUS-316 stainless steel (Extracting Housing, Twin Gears, and Splash Guard). It comes similar to the Pro model with the Automatic Anti-Jamming Auto-Reverse feature, where in the event of jamming, the juicer will reverse and put forward again automatically.
Both SUS-304 and SUS-316 stainless steel grades do not rust, do not react with food, and do not leach out any chemicals. But they differ in the stainless steel alloy formula, where the SUS-304 contains 18.0–20.0% Chromium and 8.0–11.0% Nickel, while SUS-316 contains 16–18% Chromium, 10–14% Nickel, and 2–3% Molybdenum. The additional Molybdenum contains stainless steel, which is even more, resistant to chemicals such as sea salts or chlorides.
Super Angel Deluxe Juicer is a Pro model (7500) + additional Extracting Housing with Coarse Screen for juicing soft ingredients.
One more package is available: the Super Angel Premium Deluxe + Extracting Screen Housing for Soft Fruits.
Super Angel Juicer Price
The Super Angel Juicer is the most expansive masticating machine available on the market, and it is worth every penny of its price. The manufacturing engineers and produces the same machine for over 50 years, and it is still a peak in juicing technology. The juicer price varies depending on the model and package (models — Super Angel Plus/Pro/Premium Deluxe – and packages – Deluxe and Deluxe Premium with soft fruits Extracting Housing).
The price is pretty similar across different retailers, and the discounted price is rarely available for this machine.
Summary
If you are looking for the best juice extractor available on the market, then the Super Angel is the right one. No other juicer comes close to it in terms of quality and juicing performance. Yes, it comes at a hefty price tag; however, the extra 15–30% yield you can extract from most of the ingredients with the Super Angel versus any other masticating or centrifugal juicer will justify its high price over a few years since you can save on buying fewer ingredients and squeezing more juice.
Besides, Super Angel has an awesome design. It is very easy to assemble, disassemble, and clean, 100% made of stainless steel ensures the machine’s incredible durability and that it will not leak any harmful chemicals into your drinks.
