There are various types of juicer machines and choosing a juicer just by the looks most often than not ends up in an unsatisfactory purchase. Why? Because there’s always a tendency of ending up with the wrong juicer!
We don’t mean that you will end up with a substandard juicer, we have much respect to those detective eyes of yours, you’ll scrutinize it well that’s for sure but there’s a tendency of buying the juicer that you don’t really need especially if it’s a first-time buy.
Mostly, your buying decision should depend on the type of juice that you want to create everyday for you and your family.
Would you be juicing hard fruits and vegetables
mostly or would you prefer the green
fibrous leafy vegetables? Or, maybe both?
Juicers, like any products are manufactured in accordance with the demands and specifications of the consumers and each type of these juicers are planned and manufactured to serve different purposes to make our lives easier.
From fast spinning juicers to slow squeezing ones, to manual juicers – they were developed and created to meet every consumer’s juicing preferences.
The high-speed juicers that cut up hard fruits and vegetables with their stainless incisors are called.
Buy any one of these machines if you plan to juice hard fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. The motor of these juicers spins up to the speed of 13,000 rpms.
They are fast and their blades are usually very
sharp that chops down fruits and vegetables into very small pieces
which are then crushed against their sturdy strainers to extract as
much juice as possible from each produce. Their output is expected be
watery and pulp-free.
The best juicer machines of this type can process a glass of fresh juice drink for as low as 5 seconds. They slice and squeeze fruits and vegetables really fast to give you the best pulp-free juice possible.
Be careful though when picking one as most of these juicer machines are noisy as brought about by their powerful motors but careful evaluation may lead you to the best ones like the Breville Fountain Juicer Compact or BJE200XL which has much lesser noise than other centrifugal juicers.
Though centrifugal juicers are your best choice if you're just starting to juice, there are consumers who prefer to use other types of juicing machines since the fast spinning of the centrifugal juicers produces friction which results to the oxidation of fruits and vegetables.
Oxidized fruits and vegetables may not be able to offer as much nutrients it destroys the produce's enzymes which results to missing some of the most important live nutrients.
Also, if you’re a vegan and you prefer juicing mostly green leafy vegetables, centrifugal juicers may not serve you best though they are great juicers but centrifugal juicer machines can’t compare to the quality of the vegetable juice output of masticating juicers. Centrifugal juicer machines just can’t juice green leafy vegetables very well as instead of grinding, the centrifugal force aim to crush the produce which is ideal with hard fruits but not with the softy leafy greens.
Masticating juicer machines on the other hand chops fruits and vegetables into paste; this pasty stuff is then squeezed into a screen to extract the juice. Good quality masticating juicers use hydraulic press to squeeze juice out of your produce which results to great quality fresh fruit and vegetable juice.
People who are concerned about the oxidation caused by the high-speed process of Centrifugal juicers prefer masticating juicers but then if you really want a slow gentle process to preserve the live nutrients off your fruits and vegetables; there’s another juicer out on the market that's meant for this purpose; these are slow juicing machines - yes, produce are processed in a slow gentle fashion to preserve as much live nutrients as possible. This juicer type is called non-other than a “slow juicer”.
It’s said to preserve more
antioxidants and vitamins due to the gentle crushing of the
produce.
A slow juicer may also be the best choice if you’re concerned about oxidation as no friction is produced during the processing of your juice. They're also best in juicing wheatgrass and some even interchangeably cllas a slow juicer the wheatgrass juicer.
But, wheatgrass juicers are specifically made to extract juice from wheatgrass and not for other fruits and vegetables.
If you want to take charge and juice the old way, there’s also the manual juicer; it could be time consuming or even tiring but they are the cheapest to buy and to operate since they also don’t need energy to run. This type of juicer is best for camping and other far from civilization activities. It could also be a fun family activity to manually process your juices.
Of course, the list wouldn't end just with those; there's also the citrus juicer which juices only citrus and the distinction between a single-gear juicer and twin-gear juicers.
Twin-Gear juicers are the most expensive of all juicer types but if you'd investigate closely, they're worth their price tags as they offer the most benefits as well!
You’ll find most of these juicers off your local appliance stores and the internet but we do suggest that before ever you hand your cash or credit card, take a little more time to research juicer brands and models and also read juicers consumer reports and reviews so you end up with a juicer that you will love for years!
