Are you shopping for a new juicing appliance? If so then you should really try to check out a few juicer reviews. This is a good idea so that you are able to gather more information about which product you should choose to buy. Some juicers have are better at extracting the juice from certain ingredients. Today I want to talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the four main styles of juicers. They are centrifugal juicers, masticating juicers, twin gear juicers and citrus juicers. They sort of machine that is right for you depends mainly upon what sort of juices you want to produce as well as how much money you have to spend.
If you want the “best” juicer then common wisdom would tell you to get a twin gear machine such as the Green Star GS-1000. Juicing purists argue that twin gear machines are the best because they crush and squeeze maximum liquid out of the fruit and vegetables that you feed into the machine. On top of this, because the gears rotate at slow speeds there is little heat that is transfered to the juice. This is said to cause less damage to the nutrients that it contains when compared to centrifugal juicing appliances.
The Breville BJE200XL is a great centrifugal juicer if you are a beginner or an advanced juice maker alike. It is easy to use and also very quick. This is one of the main benefits of the centrifugal machines. The do spin at high speeds and the extract a decent amount of juice leaving the pulp fairly dry. It is often a question of convenice (centrifugal) vs the “best” (twin gear). This is a choice that no one can make for you.
For people living in Florida or California you may already have your own citrus juicer. This type of appliance can be used to make lovely smooth or pulpy fresh orange juice. With this style of juicer, this is really all you can do. But on the plus side, they do it well and they are comparatively cheap compared to other appliances that are more versatile.
