With this lifestyle changes, you most probably want to consider serving fresh juice of your favorite fruits and even vegetables on the dining table. There are, of course, numerous benefits of juicing, which all sums up to better health.
However, picking the “best” juicer can be daunting and confusing with all the different models and brands available in the market. As a result of research, here are four of the best juicers this year that can help you decide which one to buy.
Best Juicer Under $100
If you’re quite tight in budget but want a quality juicer, the Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor is one of the few juicers to invest in. For a product that’s under $100, it’s amazing that it has received high ratings on Amazon, and that’s counting nearly 3,000 reviews! The motor can be as powerful as its more expensive counterpart. In fact, it can juice a quarter head of purple cabbage at once! Try kale leaves, carrots, beets and you’ll never get a problem with it. Moreover, since it has only four parts, cleaning is not a tedious job. You can also disassemble and re-assemble them back effortlessly. There’s a cool handy cord wrap in its base as well, so you won’t have to worry about hanging cord on the counter. The size is just right to keep it on the counter and encourage frequent juicing.
Best Vertical Cold Press Juicer
The Hurom HU100S Slow Juicer is the best choice if you’re into slow juicing. Juicer enthusiasts would consider the vertical cold-pressed as the most superior type of juicer because of many reasons. One and perhaps the most relevant reason is it produces higher yield than the centrifugal type. It also produces much dryer and denser pulp than centrifugals, which means the amount of extracted nutrients is much higher. The beneficial enzymes are retained as well, which is a very good indication if you’re really serious about getting the most out of your veggies and fruits for your health. In fact, according to tests conducted by Korean Food Research Institute, Michelson Laboratories, Inc., and other internal labs, cold press juicer extracts up to 60% more vitamin A, 42 % more vitamin C and yields up to 50% more juice than centrifugal juicer! Besides that, the noise is very quiet. You can still hear the television when it’s running,
Out of the many brands having this type, why should you choose Hurom? First, they are the pioneer of the vertical cold-pressed type and the leaders in slow juicers all around the globe, which tells you something: they are of top quality! The design is clog-free, which allows you for better and easier cleaning. And since it has no sharp blades, it’s totally safe for kids to use. To sum it up, this Hurom model is the best of both worlds — the fast-juicing brands and the slow-juicing ones.
Best Centrifugal Juicer
While all the good things have been poured into the cold-pressed a.k.a. masticating juicers, there’s still enough reasons why you’d want to cross over to the centrifugal type. The most convincing one, of course, is saving on cash. If you’re not into nuts, this is the better choice as well since it cannot process nuts. Just make sure you’re not watching the television or listening to music because then you won’t be able to hear a thing if this juicer is on. Moreover, this is your best bet if you’re not picky about getting the maximum nutrients out from your greens and fruits. Our best pick for this type of juicer is the Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor. Not that we are bias with Breville, but as to a number of reviews, it’s the best in the market compared to its counterparts. As a matter of fact, it yields more than other centrifugal juicers (but way less than slow juicers).
Best Juicer Under $50
At this price, it’s shocking to find a really worthy juicer. But Black & Decker JE2200 400-Watt Fruit and Vegetable Juice Extractor made it impossible to own an inexpensive juicer without compromising the fun that comes with juicing. It’s almost unbelievable, but buyers were satisfied enough to give it very good ratings on Amazon! What’s more, there’s a custom juice cup that comes with it! The cup makes it easier for you to control measurement if you’re on the watch of your intake. It’s also dishwasher-safe, so you don’t have to get your hands dirty with cleaning. Although it has the least year of warranty (at 2-year limited warranty), it’s still worth the expense. If you’ve ssen negative reviews about this juicer because, as the reviewers claim, it is not good for continuous feed, you have to get into the manual again. For example, you’re trying to make carrot juice, you don’t jam everything into it. You have to go slowly and put one piece at a time. After all, it’s a low-cost functionality that needs extra care.
Conclusion:
The best juicer depends on what you really need and what your pocket can afford. If you’re the serious health-conscious type of person, then investing in expensive, high quality juicer is a must. But if nutrient is not much of a concern and you’re quite tight in money, go for the less expensive, but can work well.
