How To Get The Best Power Juicer

By Mike Riley

Buying a juicer for the home can be very confusing and mind boggling sometimes, considering the fact that there are so many of them available these days. I first became aware of the the benefits of juicing after purchasing a Lalanne Power Juicer. There are many available and a lot of people end up purchasing an unsuitable one.

It is very important to realize the reason for purchasing a juicer and then go ahead looking for one. As vegetable and fruit juicing machines are quite different from wheatgrass juicers it is important to differentiate the two. I would advise writing a list of the features you want before going out and buying.

There are many different power juicers around in the shops. It can be confusing trying to choose between a centrifugal juicer, a masticating machine, and a twin gear juicer. Centrifugal machines are the most common and more affordable than the other juicers.

Centrifugal juicers work at a very high speed and are very effective at processing fruit and vegetables. They are, however, unsuitable for foods like spinach, wheatgrass and lettuce. They also let some of the fruit juice go to waste and to prevent this, single blade or twin blade juicers must be used. For these varieties, special kinds of juicers are available. The Miracle-mj 500 electric juicer is one of the types widely available in the shops today. They contain no aluminium parts, are easy to assemble, disassemble and operate and are usually cheaper. With Masticating machines, the low speed units help produce high quality juice as a result of reduced oxidation.

It is of importance to check the warranty on offer before purchasing your juicer. A good machines will have a guarantee range of 5- 10 years. It is also often advisable to check the blades prior to purchase as they will frequently require replacing after two to four months of normal use. The output and efficiency of the appliance will often be reflected by the yield figures quoted on the machine. Ideally you want less waste and more juice. Fruit juice can easily be damaged by the oxidation from the heat from a high power motor. I would advise buying a machine with a power output of around 420 watts.

A branded machine such as the Jack Lalanne Power Fruit Juicer is often a better investment than a non branded machine. The reason is that replacement parts are more readily avaialble and often a lot cheaper.

Other than producing fruit and vegetable juicers, many more modern appliances can be used for different functions. They can be used to make many products including ice cream, nut butters and pasta. The more modern power juicer really is a versatile machine. - 17273
