One of the questions I commonly get is what juicer is the best to buy. There are many different juicer. The best juicer to buy is the one that fits you criteria the best. If you want to buy a juicer that is fast. You will want to buy a centrifugal type juicer, that have a wide feed chute and run at a high rpm. These however aren’t very good at juicing leafy greens. Another criteria might be the sound that the juicer makes. The higher the rpm the more sound the juicer makes, a centrifugal type juicers run at high rpms plus make extreme amount of noise. You could say the sound like an airplane that takes off in your house. Masticating juicers also called slow or single auger juicers however tend to be more quiet, they run at lower speed. Generally lower than 100 rpm. This low speed ensures there is very little to no heat exposed to the juice the amount of air that is exposed to the juice is exponentially less than the amount of air that is exposed to the juice with a centrifugal type juicer. When air is exposed to the juice it will oxidize this will lower the nutritional value. The higher the speed of the juicer the lower the quality of the juice. When juice oxidizes it will turn brownish. When you make fresh juice you will want consume it as fast as possible to prevent it from oxidizing. Masticating type juicers have high yield when juicing anything, they absolutely obliterate the amount of yield centrifugal type juicers get when juicing leafy greens. They get maybe 100% more juice even when the juicers are in the same price range. When it comes to hard vegetables or fruits the masticating juicers still end up winning the gap however is significantly smaller. When it comes to cleaning neither are a clear winner. It totally depends of the model of juicer how long it takes to clean. Generally however cleaning doesn’t take very long if you clean it directly after juicing. Since the juicing residues will still be wet. Making them easy to clean with some water plus the included brushes. If you let it sit however all the residue will harden making it very hard to clean out, especially the juice screen that separates the juice from the pulp will be a nightmare to clean. As these are more or less a tiny sieve. Mostly when I clean my juicer is will take a maximum of 5 minutes something that is hardly worth mentioning in my opinion.
