Juicer Buying Tips: What To Look For In a Juicer

If you want to create healthy juices for your detox, then you are going to need a proper juicing machine or juicer. These should not be confused with a blender, which basically mashes your fruit to a puree. A juicer will extract the nutritious liquid from the pulpy fiber.

There are a number of different types of juicer on the market. Centrifugal and masticating juicers are the 2 popular types for use at home. Centrifugal juicers are the most commonly seen type of model. Although they are the cheapest option there are a number of disadvantages to using them. Essentially both the quantity and quality of the juice is not as good as from using a better quality juicer. The high speed of the centrifugal juicer can also oxidize the juice resulting in a brown color and a reduction in the nutrients.

A better alternative is a masticating juicer. This will suit people who want a superior quality machine that will produce a better quality of juice. This type of juicer has teeth on the blades, which chew through the plant material. This action means that they do not need to spin at such a high speed therefore producing less heat and potential for oxidization.

There are a number of masticating juicers on the market that are popular. The American made Champion juicer has been available for many years. This is a firm favorite with many juicing enthusiasts. It is robust, easy to clean and will last a long time. It is particularly good at juicing both soft pulpy fruit and citrus fruit. If you want to juice wheatgrass or other grasses, you will need to buy a separate wheatgrass juicer.

Another option is the Oscar Vital max juicer. This machine is able to juice wheatgrass as well as fruit and vegetables. It is a single auger model that is built to last - it has a 5-year warranty on the juicing head and 20 year warranty on the motor.
