With a lot of juicers available in the shops and stores, deciding on one can be quite confusing. I first became aware of the the benefits of juicing after I bought a Power Juicer by Jack Lalanne. A lot of people often buy a juicer that is unsuitable for their needs.
Before going out and buying a juicer it is important to decide what types of food product you want to juice. Since fruit and vegetable juicers are quite different from wheat grass juicers it is important to know the differences between the two. I would advise writing a list of the features you want before going out and buying.
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 bladed machines are often recommended for avoiding any juice going to waste. For these, special designs of juicers are available. The Miracle-mj 500 electric auger juicer is one of the types widely available in the market today. They contain no aluminium parts, are easy to assemble, disassemble and operate and are usually cheaper. The lower 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.
Take a look at the yield of the appliance. This should give you an idea of the output and efficiency. The appliance should give more juice and less waste. A motor rating of around four hundred and twenty watts is advised as heat from using a much higher power rating motor can destroy the product due to oxidation.
A branded machine such as the Jack Lalanne Power Fruit Juicer is often a better investment than a non-branded machine. This is because, spares and replacement parts and accessories are easier to find.
Many juicers are multi-functional as they can be used for making different foods besides juicing vegetables and fruit. They can be used to produce pasta, nut butters and ice cream as well as many other foods. They really are quite versatile machines.
