When choosing a centrifuge for the first time, many people among the different types of juicers that are available today are confused. There are centrifugal juicers, single gear juicer, twin gear juicer, juicer and citrus juicer manual. So what's the difference between all types? And how do you know what you should get? Well, read on, and everything is revealed.
Centrifugal juicer
This juicer is that you have in your shop and I sawthey are by far the most popular juicers. They are relatively easy to use and most models are fairly cheap. They working by using a cutting blade to cut the produce and then spin it at great speed so that the juice is released. The drawback with these types of juice is that because they operate at high speed, heat is produced and air is drawn into the chamber, resulting in some of the nutrients in the juice being killed. For most people this isn't really a big deal, but for people with health challenges or those looking to get the healthiest juice, these are not the best juicers to get.
Some popular brands you may have heard of are Juiceman, Breville, Waring and L'Equip.
Single-Auger Juicers
These are slow speed juicers, meaning less heat and air, hence more nutrients. Unlike the centrifugal juicers, they are also able to juice leafy greens and wheatgrass, which are among some of the most nutritious juices. Many also have the ability to make nut butters, baby food, pasta, frozen desserts, dips, sauces, etc. These juicers are also easier to clean that the centrifugal juicers and are pretty easy to assemble and disassemble. Most are in the 0-0 price range, so are very good value for money, considering that they produce such high quality juice and have multiple functions.
Examples of good single-auger juicers are the Oscar, Omega 8004/8006 and Samson.
Twin-Gear Juicers
These are the top of the range brands with price tags to match. Usually selling for 0-00, they produce the juice with the most nutrients. People with serious health issues are usually advised to buy these juicers, but for most people we don't think they are necessary. Like their single augur counterparts, they also juicer at low speed. The difference though is that they have twin stainless steel gears, so are able to rupture the fruit and vegetable cells more easily. This is what releases the extra nutrients. They are a little more fiddly to put together and clean, but if it's top quality juice that you're after, then this is the machine for you.
Popular brands include the Kempo, Hippocrates, Angel and Green Star Juicers.
Citrus Juicers
As the name suggests, these are dedicated juicers for all things citrus - lemon, grapefruit, and oranges. When making orange juice with a citrus juicer, there is no need to peel the oranges first, so this is a big plus point for most people. If you mostly juice citrus, then this is a must-have juicer.
Popular brands include Remida and Citri-Star.
Manual Juicer
All the above are electric juicers and that is what most people prefer. But manual juicers also have their place. Many like juicing the wheatgrass with a manual juicer, as they claim that the juice is of a higher quality. Other love to take a manual juicer on vacation with them, because the electric juicers aren't really portable. Manual juicers can be quite hard work though. But that is not a bad thing. The most popular brand on the market is the Z-Star Juicer.
We hope the above has given you some insight into the different types of juicer available.
