Power Juicer Buying | Power Juicer Recipes

When deciding on what power juicer to buy there are four variables to consider. Knowing what you want to juice will means picking a power juicer that will best juice the ingredients you put into it. In the case you don’t know what you want to juice regularly, consider looking at centrifugal ejection machines as they are the best all-purpose juicers. There is a difference when it comes to ingredients such as wheatgrass as opposed to someone who just wants orange juice. If you want to make a wheatgrass shot it will require a special juicer because that is one of the hardest ingredients. Low-speed juicers are better than centrifugal ejection machines for juicing leafy greens since their low speeds reduces the amount of nutrient degradation cause by the heat of faster moving blades. A citrus juicer is designed specifically to juice recipes that consist of oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit.

Centrifugal ejection juicers as I mentioned are great for all-round purposes. They are usually simple to use, versatile in the varieties of ingredients you can put into it, and are moderately priced. These juicers separate the pulp from the juice into a separate container. With centrifugal models that do not separate pulp from juice you will get more juice out of your ingredients but they require you to stop juicing to discard the pulp and are harder to clean.

The warranty of your power juicer also makes a difference. It can range from 90 days to 15 years and some manufacturers offer a longer coverage for the motor than the rest of the parts. The length of the warranty usually is directly correlated to price, but not always. A moderately-priced juicer averages about a six-year warranty.

If you’re looking to juice vegetables and leafy greens, a masticating juicer, also known as double-auger juicers are the best for these types of ingredients. They are designed with a slow, grinding motor that doesn’t use as much electricity but will take more time to juice. The benefit of this type of design is that it although it may take more time it can produce more juice with less pulp.

If being as eco-friendly as possible and finding a low wattage is important to you, the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer requires only 250 watts and are priced affordably around $80 to $100 dollars.
