Electric juicers come in different types and prices, ranging from under $100 to over this amount. They can be single-use or multipurpose, and are classified as centrifugal, masticating, or shredding. Twin gear juicers are the most expensive but the best for multipurpose use. Before buying, consider how the juicer will be used. Used juicers can be found on local sites like Craigslist and eBay.
An electric juicer uses a power source to drive machinery that cuts, grinds, and mashes the fruit and/or vegetable to create juice. Juice from an electric juicer can be a revelation to those who have always bought concentrated juice because the flavors can be fresh and intense. Not all electric juicers are created equally and can range in price from under $100 United States Dollars (USD) to well over this amount. Mostly, the price reflects the different types of juicers available.
Some types of electric juicers are for single use only. The popularity of wheatgrass has led people to purchase juicers designed simply to make wheatgrass juice. Another common single-use electric juicer only extracts juice from citrus fruits. Many people prefer to use juicers that can juice a variety of fruits and vegetables instead, and these can be called multipurpose juicers.
These handy machines are also classified according to how they work. There are three common types of juicers, called centrifugal, masticating, and shredding. Knowing how the juicing system of each type works can help inform people’s choices about what to buy.
Centrifugal juicers are generally the least expensive. They feature a rotating basket that grinds the fruit, creating pulp. They may make pulp with the juice or the juice may remain in the juicing unit and require cleaning. Juice made with this type may be slightly frothy, which could be a concern. Centrifugal juicers also don’t tend to work with some types of green vegetables.
Masticating juicers run slower, and actually in juices, a slower running machine is more desirable because it produces less frothy juice. These juicers work by grinding food into a pulp. They may be more effective at getting juice out of foods than centrifugal types, but like centrifugal juicers they won’t work with some green leafy vegetables as well.
Finally, twin gears or shredder juicers process food slower and grind between two gears. They are the best multipurpose electric juicers but also the most expensive. People who always use their juicers for lots of different fruit and vegetable juices may want to seriously consider dual gear electric juicers because they are generally considered superior to other types.
There are many brands of electric juicers available, but before buying one, people may want to understand how they want to use their juicer. A centrifugal type can be great for making juice a couple of days a week with softer fruit. You can find some of the more expensive types of electric juicers used. Many people stop using juicers after a few months and sell them. Check local docs, places like craigslist and possibly ebay for used juicers.
