How to Find a Suitable Juicer

By Layla Smith

There are so many juicing machines around these days it is difficult to choose a suitable one. I initially became addicted to juicing when I purchased a Lalanne Power Juicer. Many people frequently buy a juicer that is not suitable for their needs.

Prior to going out and looking for a juicer it is first important to look at what types of food product you wish to juice. It is important to understand the main differences between the two such as fruit and wheat grass juicers. I would recommend making a list of the features you want before going out and shopping.

There are many varieties of juicers around in the market. It can often be confusing trying to choose between a centrifugal juicer, a masticating machine, and a twin gear juicer. By far the most common and most affordable are the centrifugal juicers. They process fruits and vegetables at very high speeds and are very effective. They are, however, unsuitable for foods like spinach, wheat grass and lettuce.

Juicers with single or twin blades are often advised in order to avoid any juice going to waste. 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 are cheap and contain no aluminum parts, making them particularly easy to disassemble and operate. Low speed machines reduce the oxidation of the fruit and make a higher quality juice.

It is vital to check the guarantee on offer before purchasing your juicer. A warranty of 5 to 10 years is usually available on most quality juicers. It is also advisable to check the blades prior to purchase as they will frequently require replacing after two to four 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 such as the Jack Lalanne Juicer is often a better than a non-branded appliance and will often last longer. This is because, spares and replacement parts are often more easy to find.

The modern juicers are multi-functional as they assist in making various foods besides processing vegetables and fruit. They can be used to produce nut butters, pasta and ice cream along with many other food stuffs. The modern power juicer really is a versatile appliance. - 17273
