# 1 Twin-gear juicers are the best juicers for leafy greens. They  are also easy to use, because teh twin gears pull in leafy greens without the need for a pusher. They also give the highest yield.
# 2 Single auger juicers do a great job with leafy greens. They do not have the same yield as twin-gears, but they are the most popular. This is due to their versatility, ease of use, and easy cleaning.
# 3 Mechanical juicers are generally good for greens. The quality of the juice is amazing, the yield is good. The only drawbacks are the physical effort needed to turn operate them, and the limited types of produce for which they are suited.
# 4 Centrifugal juicers aren't designed for leafy greens.  There will be little juice yield, and more of a "wet salad" result.
