The Features to Look For When Buying a Juicer

By Layla Smith

With so many juicers around in the stores, choosing one can be quite confusing. I initially became interested in the benefits of juicing when I purchased a Jack Lalanne Power Juicer. People spend a fair bit of time finding a right juicer for themselves, but often miss the shot by a long distance.

It is important to realize the reason for buying a juicer and then go looking for one. Since fruit and vegetable juicing machines are different from wheat grass juicers it is important differentiate the two. I would advise writing a list of all the features you want in a machine prior to going out and buying one.

There are various varieties of juicers available in the shops. Choices such as a masticating juicer, centrifugal juicer and a twin gear appliance can often be confusing. By far the most common and most affordable are the centrifugal appliances. Due to their high speed they are most suitable for processing vegetables and fruit. They should not be used for products like wheat grass, spinach, and lettuce.

Single or twin blade juicers are often advised for preventing any juice going to waste. There are special designs of juicers on the market for these types of foods. One of the suitable makes is the Miracle-mj 500 auger Juicer. They are cheaper and contain no aluminum parts, making them particularly easy to take apart and operate. The low speed units, such as masticating machines, produce less oxidation of the fruit juice and, therefore, produce a higher quality juice.

Before buying the juicer you should properly check the guarantee that is being offered. A warranty of 5 to 10 years is often available on most quality juicers. It is also advisable to check the blades before purchase as they will often require replacing after 2 to 4 months of normal usage.

Have a look at the percentage yield of the appliance. This will give you an idea of the output and efficiency. Ideally you want a lot less waste and more juice. I would suggest buying an appliance with a power output of about four hundred and twenty watts. The heat from higher powered motors can damage the juice by oxidation.

A branded machine like the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer is often a better buy than a non-branded appliance. The reason being replacement parts are often more easily available and often a lot cheaper.

Todays juicers are multi-functional in nature as they help in making various foods besides processing vegetables and fruit. They can be used to produce nut butters, pasta and ice cream as well as many other foods. They truly are quite versatile machines. - 17269
