Juicer Shopping - Finding Quality
There is a huge selection in juicers that vary greatly in quality and price. Many people will naturally make the mistake of distinguishing a juicer by its price relative to what else is on the shelf. But when it comes to juicers, you really do get what you pay for and a cheap juicer cannot match the performance and quality you get with a power juicer.
The problem is that most people who have never tested different juicer don't know that what they are regularly drinking is not as high in quality as it could be because of the poor quality juicer they are using. The better juicers operate at slower speeds to maintain the quality of your ingredients. High speed juicers and blender will do about 1,000 to 24,000 RPM.
The heat of the blades could be enough to partially cook the ingredients which change the structure of some key enzymes and nutrients. We want our juice to be as raw as possible otherwise it defeats the purpose of juicing to obtain nutrients in its natural state. A good juicer will run about 80 RPMs which is less than 10% the speed of a bad blender. This low speed minimizes the effect of heating as well as other forms of damage to your juice.
High speed chopping blades in blenders can also cause impact shock which also damages nutrients. There is also oxidation when you juice, but slower blades will significantly reduce the degree of oxidation. You want your nutrients in its most natural state which is best for your body. Lower speeds also reduce the amount of foaming in your juice.
A lesser consideration for getting a higher quality blender is the amount of noise the machine generates. For under a hundred dollars difference can mean the difference from scaring your cats away to being able to juice while still talking on the phone.
When you pay a little extra for a better model, you are also getting the ingenuity of design. In general, juicers can be tough to clean but a well designed model takes the cleaning process into consideration and could make a big difference when you are deciding whether or not to juice today. Pulp collecting compartments that are easily removable makes cleaning breeze. Some brands are so well designed in this area it can be rinsed and cleaned in five minutes.
The final thing about juicers is their hardiness. Some juicers, such as centrifugals, are not designed for harder ingredients like leafy greens and wheat grass. They are built only for citrus fruits and other soft ingredients. Since everyone should juice vegetables as well as fruits, it best to go with one that can handle just about anything you throw into it. - 17273
