Selecting a juicer to buy can be quite confusing, so here
are a few points to consider when comparing different models.
1. There are two main kinds of juicers, fast ones and slow
ones. This sounds silly but here's how - fast juicers shred up your ingredients
a let the juice drain out of the shredded up pulp. They can be lightning fast,
but make lower quality juice. The juice they make can be aerated and goes off
faster and has a lowered level of vitamins present. These are called rotary
juicers or centrifugal juicers and are the most common sort. Slow juicers
(commonly called masticating juicers, masticating=chewing) work by slowly
grinding and crushing your ingredients. They take a lot longer but make much
better, healthier juice that keeps for 2-3 days and has more vitamin content.
Not as common in stores, and often sold in heath food shops.
2. How easy is it to take apart and clean? often overlooked,
but you will be doing this every time you use it - so if it has lots of little
bits, then it will be a big job to clean. Most modern juicers are designed to
be very easy to clean though.
3. How loud is it - if you can, have the shop turn it on so
you can hear it running - some models are seriously SCARY in terms of how much
noise they make!
4. Finally, is is appropriate to the fruits and vegetables
you want to juice. Does it have a nice, big chute that will take say whole
carrots, or will it require you to spend more time cutting every thing up into
little pieces. Breville

to take whole apples now, saving a lot of time indeed.
