With a lot of juicers available in the shops and stores, deciding on one can be quite confusing. I initially became interested in the benefits of juicing when I purchased a Jack Lalanne Juicer. Many people often buy a machine that is unsuitable for their requirements.

It is very important to realize the reason for purchasing a juicer and then go ahead looking for one. As vegetable and fruit juicing machines are quite different from wheatgrass juicers it is important to differentiate the two. I would advise writing a list of the features you want before going out and buying.

There are various varieties of juicers around in the market. It can be confusing trying to decide between a centrifugal juicer, a masticating juicer, and a twin gear juicer. By far the most common and most affordable are the centrifugal juicers.

Due to the high speed of the centrifugal juicers they are most suitable for juicing vegetables and fruit. They are, however, not particularly suitable for foods like spinach, wheatgrass and lettuce. In order to prevent any of the juice going to waste it is often advisable to buy a single or twin blade machine. There are special types of juicing machines on the market for these types of foods. One of the most suitable types is the Miracle-mj 500 Juicer. They have the advantage of usually being quite cheap and contain no aluminium parts and are particularly easy to operate. With Masticating machines, the low speed units help produce high quality juice as a result of reduced oxidation.

It is important to check the warranty on offer before buying your juicer. A warranty of 5 to 10 years is usually available on most quality juicers. It is also advisable to check the blades before purchase as they will frequently require replacing after two to four months of normal use. Take a look at the yield of the appliance. This should give you an idea of the output and efficiency. The juicer should give more juice and a lot less less waste. I would suggest looking for an appliance with a power output of around four hundred and twenty watts. Higher powered motors produce more heat which damages the juice by oxidation.

A branded machine such as the Lalanne Power Juicer is often a better buy than a non-branded machine. This is because, spares and replacement parts are often easier to source.

Other than producing fruit and vegetable juicers, many modern appliances can be used for other functions. Surprisingly, they can be used to make a variety of products including ice cream, nut butters and pasta. These modern appliances are really quite versatile.
