You most probably already know - the variety of juicer machines offered on the market is incredible. So, "which is the best juicer to buy?"
Unfortunately, there's no universal answer to this question!
It is a similar situation to buying a car. There is no best car in the world, which would meet all different demands and expectations equally. That means as a starting point you firstly have to identify your needs and expectations and base your decision upon that.
An Electric Juicer or a Manual Juicer?
This is the first important technical differentiation of juicer machines. There are a range of electric juicers, which are meant for regular juicing of larger quantities. In contrast, manual juicers are slower and therefore they are only appropriate for occasional juicing of smaller quantities.
Let's say you are serious about juicing, so we will focus on electric juicers.
Selecting the Right Type of Juice Machine
There are three basic types of electric juicer machines available. These are:
- Centrifugal juicers
- Masticating juicers - also called Single gear juicer machines
- Triturating juicers - also called Twin or Dual gear juicers
Single gear juicers are further divided into 3 sub-groups:
- Horizontal masticating juicers
- Vertical dual-stage juicers
- Wheatgrass juicers
Every single type has its pros and cons. The type of electric juicer most suitable for you is really dependent on you and your needs. Therefore, you should study the pros and cons carefully and you should also check juicer comparisons.
Deciding on the Brand and Model
Once you have chosen the type of electric juicer, then you have to pick the right juicer brand and model. The variety of models to choose from is again huge. What should you do?
It is not as complicated as it might seem. Firstly, you should check the characteristics of the models and also the juicer reviews of the models you find appropriate. This will surely reduce your selection significantly.
Now you are ready to take the final step: Check the commercial conditions like the warranty, service conditions and of course the price.
The longer the warranty on all parts the better it is. The best scenario is of course that everything we buy will work perfectly, without any problem at all. However, if something happens it is good to know that everything will be taken care of.
Manufacturers do not like claims, replacements, and service repairs. A long warranty time is therefore, as a rule, granted only for the products of a very good quality.
Finally, let's talk about prices. Prices of different juicer machines vary quite a lot, but the differences are not as dramatic as it is for cars. When you are deciding about a new car, price is surely a more important factor. Therefore, when buying a car, you should firstly determine an acceptable price range and start from that.
When buying a juice machine, you really do not have to do that. There are two good reasons for that:
- Prices of juicers are much lower than prices of cars
- The price range for the various types and models of juicer machine is not so large
You can get yourself a very good juice machine already for $ 200 - 400. For exclusive juicer models, you will have to pay more.
And last but not least: Before you make your final decision, you should ask yourself "What is the price of your health?"
My name is Tatjana and I live in a small, but amazingly beautiful country Slovenia. Together with my friend, I started to build a website, where we share our knowledge about a healthy life style, including juicing for health.
Without a proper juicer machine, juicing is not possible. Therefore, in order to help you find the best juicer for your needs, we have prepared important information and guidelines, which will surely make your decision a lot easier.
