The best manufacturers of juicers - which company to choose

Having come to the store, buyers rightly first of all pay attention to the technology of positively reputed brands. As a rule, these products are of high quality and advanced functionality.

When purchasing a juicer, it is recommended to give preference to the following manufacturing companies:

1. Philips

2. Bosch

3. Panasonic

4. Polaris

5. Braun

The models of manufacturers' data rightfully occupy a leading position in the market, and the specific choice remains with the buyer.

Types of juicers

Citrus Juicers

These models belong to the simplest juicers. With their help, you can get the juice of orange, lemon, grapefruit and other citrus fruits. Outwardly, this is a small container with a ribbed nozzle in the form of a cone. Half of the fruit is mounted on the nozzle and, in case the electric juicer, the product turns on.

Juice Press

Press juicers are a kind of citrus juicers. They imply that when juice is obtained, the fruit is not only a mechanical “cutting” effect, but also the pressure created by a special clamping mechanism. This can significantly reduce the amount of oil cake and increase efficiency.

The vast majority of juicers-presses - electric. This ensures maximum efficiency and speed.

In what cases are recommended for purchase:

Such juicers are an excellent solution for catering establishments that offer citrus fresh juices (bars, cafes, restaurants, fitness club buffets, etc.). For home use, they are not very suitable due to their relative high cost compared to "normal" models.

Centrifugal or rotary juicers

These are the models of juicers, which are most demanded by consumers. They are intended for all types of vegetables and berries (excluding stone fruit). The work of such models is similar to the action of a centrifuge in a washing machine. The grater disc rotates at a speed of 10 thousand revolutions per minute above the basket separator and crushes the fruit.

In the separator is the separation of pulp and oilcake. Next, the centrifugal force pushes the juice out of the basket and it enters the co-receptacle. High speed of rotation heats the internal capacity, and this leads to the fact that some microorganisms and vitamins are destroyed. Heating the motor does not allow you to use the juicer continuously for a long time.

Separators in these models are of two types:

1. Cylindrical. Juice yield is 90%, but the cake is removed manually.

2. Basket cone. The cake is removed automatically, but the percentage of juice yield is 20% lower.

In what cases are recommended for purchase:

People who simply love freshly squeezed juice will like it - for example, as a supplement to breakfast. Suitable for home and family use, as well as for use in catering establishments.

Auger Juicers

This type of juicers operate on low-speed engines, the rotation speed of which is not higher than 80 revolutions per minute. Two screws attached to the shaft, chop the fruit. Heating a juicer even with prolonged continuous use is excluded.

These models are vertical and horizontal, which is determined by the design of the unit and the method of placing the fruit in it. In turn, the yield rate of juice (and it is about 95%) is not affected by the type of model. Auger juice extractors can also produce butter from nuts, grind coffee beans or spice fruits.

In what cases are recommended for purchase:

Suitable for everyday home and family use. Especially people who appreciate juices for their useful properties, and not just for taste, will like it.

Juicer selection options

Before you buy a juicer, understand which fruits are used more often in your family, and how much juice will be consumed per day. Also decide whether you will use the juicer for its intended purpose or whether its advanced functionality is important to you.

Material

Plastic. It makes the weight of the product small, but the shelf life is reduced due to the sufficient fragility of the material. Also required environmental certificate for plastic.

Steel or aluminum. Only stainless, as in the process there is an oxidation reaction with the products. High strength, but increases the price.

Power

1. 50 watts. Citrus juicers only.

2. From 250 to 500 watts. Juicers for fruits of a high degree of softness (bananas, peaches, etc.)

3. From 800 to 1200 watts. Juice extractors for hard fruits (carrots, apples, etc.)

Speed ​​modes

The technique of extraction depends on the density of the fetus. Consequently, the optimal will be a juicer, which has several high-speed modes of operation. Switching them will allow you to get the maximum amount of juice from any fruit. The maximum number of speeds in juicers today is 9, but three or four is enough for use at home. Efficiency will increase the presence of reverse and impulse modes.

Noise at work

The cause of the noise may be the work of the motor and insufficiently fixed parts. Leader in the "silence" of the steel steel screw juicers.

Design

When buying a juicer, it makes sense to pay attention to:

1. The diameter of the inlet. The size of 8-9 cm will help to place the fruit entirely, avoiding pre-cutting.

2. The presence of a container for cake allows you to work without stopping.

3. The presence of a foam blast separator will make the juice clear and transparent.

4. The presence of rubber feet will make the juicer stable during operation.

5. The presence of an anti-droplet system will leave the table clean after work.

Capacity for juice

The presence of capacity for juice inside the juicer ensures its non-spilling during operation, and on the scale you can determine the degree of fullness of capacity. But, as a rule, the volume of capacity is small and it is necessary to stop the process for the transfusion of the finished juice.

In the absence of such a container, the juice immediately enters a vessel that is convenient in shape and size for you.

Additional functionality:

1. Protection against accidental activation. Implemented structurally. For example, a juicer may not turn on when the lid is open or loosely closed. It is especially important if there are small children in the house;

2. The number of nozzles in a citrus juicer or juicer press. Typically, these juicers are equipped with a single ribbed cone, which ensures compatibility with relatively large fruits. But, if you plan to squeeze the juice from tangerines, small lemons, etc., it is better to purchase a model with several nozzles;

3. Support pulse mode. This is very important for juicers that are planned to be used with such solid products as carrots or hard apples. Pulse mode ensures that the juicer does not overheat during operation.

Which juicer to choose

There are four criteria that will help determine the choice:

1. If the family drink only citrus juices or lemonade, then it is enough to buy a juicer only for citruses. Manual or electric - depends on the composition of the family.

2. If the family drinks juices from all fruits, and its composition - 2-3 people, the purchase of a centrifugal juicer with a separator in the form of a cylinder will be optimal.

3. If the family is large and everyone loves to drink fresh juice, stop your choice on a rotary juicer with a separator in the form of a cone.

4. For lovers of country life, in which fresh vegetables, fruits and berries are in abundance, we recommend choosing the screw option of a juicer.

How much are juicers

1. A simple model manual juicer costs from 100 to 400 rubles.

2. Electric plastic juicers at a cost of up to 800 rubles, but with increasing functionality and the price rises to 40 thousand rubles.

3. Rotary juicers begin their cost with a half thousand and reach forty. Models of this group of stainless steel and a full range of functionality can cost more than one hundred thousand rubles.

4. Vertical screw juicers are available at prices ranging from 3 to 35 thousand rubles, but can reach up to 100 thousand. Horizontal do not cross the threshold of 70 thousand.
