WELCOME

Congratulations and welcome to the Tribest family! Your purchase of the Tribest® Solostar® 4 represents a decision that you made to live a healthier lifestyle. As with every Tribest product, the Solostar 4's sleek design and rich features are the result of smart choices that were made to achieve one thing: Making Healthy Living Easy.

Due to its smart design, the Solostar 4 produces up to 33% more torque while using up to 20% less electricity. More torque means less jamming and less electricity means savings on your monthly utility bill all while reducing your carbon footprint. The sleek, modern design takes up less space while looking beautiful on your kitchen countertop. The optional Vegetable Slicer and Spiralizer attachments add the versatility you need to reduce the clutter you get from having too many machines. The Solostar 4 is compatible with the ZStar Manual Conversion Kit, so you are free to take your juicer with you when you are on the go. And, like every Tribest product, all food contact parts are made from BPA- and BPS-free materials.

The Solostar 4's single auger cold press juicing system operates as slow as 47 RPM to ensure the gentlest juice extraction process possible. The slow and gentle process preserves more nutrients and enzymes, resulting in healthier juice. The Dual-Stage Extraction Process crushes and presses produce for maximum juice yields. The Ultem auger is 8x stronger than other types of plastic, which allows for an aggressive auger design that makes it easy to feed your produce into the juicer. So, you get better juice, more of it, and it is easier to use.

Please carefully unpack your Solostar 4 and check to see that all the parts were included. Take the time to assemble and disassemble you Solostar 4 a few times to become familiar with the process and wash the juicing parts before using it for the first time. Please take the time to read through the entire operation manual for proper use and care instructions. If you have any questions, comments, or need any tips, please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-888-254-7336, or via email at [e-mail].

We graciously ask that you rate the Solostar 4 at www.tribestlife.com. We appreciate your feedback.
