SoloStar-II was given the Bronze Award of Excellence at the 2005 Canadian Health Food Association's (CHFA) Alive Awards of Excellence in the equipment category. SoloStar-II was part of the Tribest family of kitchen health appliances that swept the 2005 Alive Awards of Excellence, with Green Star taking Gold and Personal Blender taking Silver.
The Alive Awards of Excellence were created twelve years ago to promote and recognize excellence in product innovation, and to add credibility to natural health products. Manufacturers and suppliers were invited to enter products into 18 corresponding categories, accompanied by third-party analysis and organic certification. Retail members of the CHFA cast their votes for the best products in each category based on quality, consumer popularity, and consumer appeal.
