The Best Juicers For Carrots

Vegetable juicers come with varied designs. While buying a juicer, the important factor in deciding the type and design of juicer is the kind of food you intend using it for, meaning you need to consider the consistency of food. Will it be hard or soft or pulpy?

Fibers in carrot make them tough.  Carrot juice is very nutritious but difficult to extract if you lack appropriate juicer. Here are different types of juicing machines available.



Centrifugal Juicers

Such juicers are often patronized by users who are new to the world of juicing. The principle of operation of these juicers is to grate the vegetable or fruit that is fed to it through the chute. The juice comes out from a basket made of fine mesh.

The basket rotating at a very fast speed throws the juice out into a collection chamber. Though the juice is obtained very quickly, it gets heated in the process and also exposed to air. As a result it gets oxidized fast, giving you small time for storage and subsequent consumption before turning bad.



Any process of extracting juice that produces heat reduces the nutritional value of food.  Because of grating action, carrots react well to centrifugal action. They deliver a good volume of juice but it should be consumed straightaway.

Centrifugal juicers are very appropriate for beginners who will be using their machine once in a while for extracting juice of vegetables and non-pulpy fruits.

Masticating Juicers

These juicers are designed to masticate or chomp foods to deliver juice. You get hand operated as well automatic masticating juicers.
Compared to a centrifugal machine, a masticating juicer gives more juice of carrots.  Another benefit is that such juicers don’t generate so much of heat during the process of juicing, meaning that it can be stored for longer.

Moreover, these juicers work at low speeds, so there is not much of air added to juice. It helps preventing discoloration due oxidation.






The working of masticating juicers is akin to chewing with teeth.  Imagine chewing a carrot.  Your teeth cut and crush carrot till it’s reduced to a pulp and produces juice. The juice that comes in your mouth has been produced by your private masticating machine!

A sophisticated juicer would prefer a masticating machine to a centrifugal machine.

Twin Gear Juicers

A twin gear juicer is most excellent for juicing.  This is the most efficient equipment for people living on a diet of raw foods.

A juicer with twin gears is a very slow speed machine, generally made from good quality stainless steel.  All machines using metal are the best. However, some of the best juicers do have components made of plastic.
Twin gear juicers are ideal for extracting juice of carrots as the gears crush and squeeze fiber to the maximum possible extent to take out every drop of juice from carrots. A twin gear juicer can easily handle tough fibers.
Some manufacturers of juicing machines claim using special coatings that help extracting extra nutrients from foods containing juice. The material used most often is ceramic. You also get juicers using magnets for their construction or for the collection chamber.

Omega VERT VRT330 Juicer

The problems that have since long been associated with the low speed masticating juicers have now been resolved with the introduction of Omega VERT VRT330 Juicer. The notable feature of this juicer is that it delivers quick but nutritious juices, while continuing to work at slow speed.

It’s true that new vertical auger juicers like the Omega VERT VRT330 model facilitate fast juicing of many ingredients as is often offered by the quickest traditional household centrifugal juicers. The difference is that this kind of juicer  can use  ingredients like greens, wheatgrass leaves and even soft fruits, which a centrifugal juicer is unable to cope with. So , now you can include all these in your family's diet, no matter how busy everyone is because these are quick and easy to juice.

An ideal juicing machine should have these features:
Extract juices quickly
Should retain the nutrients and flavor of the ingredients used
Should be convenient and quick to clean after use.





The new innovative design of Omega VERT VRT330 model really qualifies as an ideal juicer as if fulfills the requirements noted above.

The size of augur in this juicer is three to four times larger than a normal horizontal juicer. That allows it to offer larger juicing capacity. The size of filter that separates the
juice is quite large. It facilitates the flow of juice, thus quickening the process.

Moreover its screen includes self-cleaning silicone wiper blades system. That means the output of juice is uninterrupted, allowing you to make larger batches of juice at any given time. Though the inclusion of larger augur allows the juice to be prepared quickly, the nutritious vale of the juice remains high as the machine continues to operate at low speed of 80 RPM.  So it’s actually a slow juicer, giving results fast.

Juicing of soft fruits had been a problem with many of the slow speed juicers, as their screens would get clogged, thus slowing down the process making juice.

It is reasonable to say that with various juicers juicing of costly soft fruits and berries is not very economical, prompting many people to include these in smoothies. However, with the coming of the Omega VERT VRT330 all that has changed. It’s fast and designed to offer very large amounts of juice from soft fruits too. You will be amazed to see the quantity of pulp left when a juicer effectively extracts juice from soft ingredients. Imagine getting just half a cup of waste from a whole watermelon. Extracting juice from grapes with the Omega VERT is so convenient and quick that you may consider having your own small home based winery! And, if we talk of juices from harder materials, you’ll find the juices are thick and retain the natural flavor of the ingredients.  Additionally, such juices can be stored for longer duration without fearing any deterioration as is often experienced with juices prepared from traditional centrifugal juicer. The design of this juicer facilitates extraction of juices from herbs, wheatgrass, leafy greens, and brassicas without any problem.

We are aware and have experienced many a time that whenever an innovative product appears in the market, there is an almost simultaneous introduction of similar products in the market. The same manufacturer produces omega VERT, the Oscar 930 Pro Juicer and the Hurom Slow Juicers, but a number of other producers too have introduced vertical auger juicers with almost similar features and design. That makes it rather difficult for a commoner to decide the model and make to choose, especially when the all perform the same way.

Omega could sense that predicament of consumers and included a very unique feature in their models like Omega VERT juicers and 8006 Nutrition Center. What distinguishes Omega juicers from others is the incorporation of GE Ultem juicing augers. This material is reported to be eight times as strong as any other material being used in present day juicers. That makes GE Ultem parts to remain much more durable.

Juicer Versus Food Processor

The process of cooking food certainly reduces the content of nutrients and most of vital vitamins present in food.  On the other hand, raw or unprocessed fruits, vegetables, sprouts and nuts are healthy. The consumption of these foods improves energy level, aids digestion, improves complexion and reduces the risk of many diseases.

Despite the benefits it offers, it’s not practical for most of us to keep taking only raw food comprising of fruits and vegetables. Moreover, there are many who wouldn’t like the taste of raw food. Innovative cooking techniques and equipments, to a great extent, help consumption of such foods for those who don’t like the taste of raw food. There are many ways for making raw food easily digestible without making it lose its nutritious content. The easy availability of devices like blender, mixer, juicer, dehydrator and food processor solves the problem.
.
Of these, a juicer is used for extraction of juices from fruits and vegetables. This equipment extracts juice even from the skin and peels of fruits and vegetables, giving a nourishing juice. It extracts juice from the stems of vegetables too. The technology and processing involved in juicers is different than that of blenders, which are referred to as food processors these days. The job of a juicer is very simple. It just has to extract juice and reject pulp to deliver healthy nutritious juice, while retaining vital components like proteins, vitamins, enzymes and antioxidants, which are known to fight against cancer. They also help in reducing irritation, swelling, soreness and pain due manual blending. But the constituent of different foods is heterogeneous and you can’t have one single system of inbuilt mechanical components in containers for processing of different food items.

Cooking in your kitchen becomes a pleasure with the addition of a food processor that really takes off a lot of burden and saves time, while adding to the quality of cooking. The processes of chopping, grinding, juicing, blending, cutting and squeezing are of great help indeed. Though manually operated juicers are available for extraction of juices of citrus fruits, electrical appliances are more efficient and save a lot of time and labor. These days you find most of the juice extractors to be electrically operated. The electric juicer naturally requires less man power and efforts. The modern food processors that allow the process of blending nearly replace the juicers.

The food processor is provided with a variety of blades in different designs that perform different actions on raw or cooked foods and are rotated by an electric motor to crush foodstuff to pieces. Its bowl has a rotating blade fixed in the centre at the bottom of the bowl. That’s the common design world over for domestic kitchen blenders. The design of commercial blenders is slightly different with a more powerful induction motor and the shaft is fixed to rotate vertically inside the bowl. Usually, the bowl is made of transparent plastic and the cutting blades are fixed at its bottom.

For the purpose of safety, most of the food processors are provided with top cover. In some of the models the top cover is further fitted with a feed tube that can be fixed to a bowl. This is the tube that makes way for addition of food components that need to be shredded, crushed or sliced to pieces or powders. This tube offers the dual function of a chute also. Now, if the lid is not closed properly or the bowl is left loose, it may cause spilling of foodstuff or damage the skin or even the equipment. The new design of the latest models of food processors takes excellent care of this limitation. The new design wouldn’t let the electric motor start if the lid or the bowl were not properly fixed to its respective place.

The utility of modern food processors has been further improved by the introduction of coffee grinder, bread maker and value added blenders that further ease the process of cooking, and save lot of time and effort, while the food remains healthier.

Multi tasking food processors make a better choice than juicer. That’s because the present kitchens, domestic or commercial, involve shredding or slicing of vegetables, sprouts, nuts or spices as constituents of different recipes. All the modern appliances are designed to lend a helping hand for regular requirements of cooking. Further, the cost effectiveness of these appliances also plays an important role in their appropriate selection. On comparing the features of a juicer with that of a food processor, one finds that the latter is a better equipment to have in the kitchen. It is because the food processor is a multi utility device, can be used more often and lasts longer. Economically, juicer is not as viable, as it can be used for performing one activity only, and that too may not be on a regular basis. However, juicer would certainly make a very viable choice economically for any commercial catering project or establishment.

The juicer offers a 2-speed electronic control. Depending on the material to be juiced, you can choose an appropriate speed. For instance you would need a different speed for extracting apple juice compared to say watermelons. Whatever be the fruit or vegetable for juice extraction, the process is quickened by opting for the right speed.

The Breville Juicer uses centrifugal-ejection technique, unlike the well known Omega 8005 and Champion 2000+ that are masticating kind of juicers. The pulp thrown out by the juicer to a large detached container is exceptionally dry, indicating efficient and continuous working of this juicer.

The volume of juice delivered by Breville Juicer is 50 % more than a normal juicer due micromesh filter incorporated therein. Special feature is added to get frothy juice that children love so much to have. Froth separator in a well designed one liter pouring jug takes care of that.

It comes with long lasting stainless steel juicing cone and filters that offer convenience of operation. As you press down on the soft grip handle the motor reamer gets energized to deliver juices in an efficient manner. Here again, all the components are dishwasher safe. The juicer is provided with a dust cover, and has a built-in cord storage facility.

Getting On Juicers And Juicer Parts

If you bought an inexpensive juicer that has gone bad, it’s better to throw it away and buy a new one. But, if you have a juicer of reputed make that has been giving good service for quite sometime it will be worthwhile to look for its spares or get it repaired. However, you may have to do a bit of research looking for the right part that fits into your machine.

It’s always good to approach the manufacturer first. For all you know the particular component needed may still be under warranty. Plus, at time manufacturers offer a new machine in lie of the old machine at a very attractive price, as no manufacturer likes to lose a loyal customer.



The other option of getting a good deal is from online stores. Some of the stores offer free shipment and there are some who don’t charge any sales tax. The main benefit of ordering online is that the parts are delivered at your doorstep without having to spend your time or fuel.

Once you decide to go online looking for the required component, you’ll be amazed by the number of stores dealing with spares for juicers. It wouldn’t take you long to look for the best vendor as you can look at customers’ reviews and learn from their experiences. You also get to see pictures and other product details along with the prices. So, you can make an on the spot comparison before ordering your requirements. Here’s foolproof system of getting the required parts.

Well, the option of going out and looking for the needed part at different stores is always there. But, don’t forget to take the details of the needed part. You should be aware of the model you have been using and may get the part number from the catalogue of the manufacturer. In case that’s not possible, it will be a nice idea to take a photo of the required component. You should know that the manufacturers keep changing the design of their machines and hence the components. Make sure that you buy the right component suitable for the model and make of your machine.

Should you so prefer, you may even enquire from your family, friends or neighbor for referrals! It helps to know their experiences with a particular company. That stops you from wasting money from buying from a not-so-reputed dealer. It is always helpful to carry your own independent research before investing into any product or service.

Philips Juicer - Among The Best Juicers

There are many who are unable to consume their regular intake of fruits and vegetables, so vitally needed for the body. Usually the reason is lack of time for buying and then cooking all that. Juicer, like so many other cooking aids in the kitchen, is a very helpful device for extracting juice of almost any vegetable or fruit. No more should your body be deprived of valuable vitamins and nutrients. There are many manufacturers of juicers but the one offered by Philips incorporates the best desirable features at a very competitive price.

A Philips juicer can be used for extraction of juice from a variety of fruits. In a matter of minutes you can extract juice for the whole family from a basketful of fruits. Use your imagination to have juice from a mixture of fruits for added nutrition and variety of flavors. You could even have juice from a mixture of fruits and vegetables.


Like any other machine, a juicer too comprises of many components that contribute to the performance of the machine. It’s the quality and design of these components that give the machine its life and efficiency. One of the important components of any juicer is its rotor blade, as this blade performs the cutting action. For the blade to continue working efficiently without harming the quality of juice it should ideally be made from stainless steel. Some of the cheaper models of juicers lack that quality of blades, which get blunt or broken down prematurely, thus making the machine ineffective.



A very helpful tip for making the quality of juicer is the level of noise it generates while working. Low quality juicers produce a high-pitched sound, whereas high quality machines would produce a low-pitched hum.

While buying a juicer, you should compare the different features of different models on offer. Some of the machines have a whole plethora of features that you may never need. Every manufacturer tries to incorporate features different from what is already available, without realizing how is the newly added feature going to help the consumer. It will be worth spending sometime to compare different machines before you decide to take one home.

The Braun MP80 is a powerful machine with a 240 watts motor moving at 9000 RPM. Such a machine may cause a negligible loss of nutrients because of the accompanied heat.

For the low price at which it is being offered, it makes a great choice to have it for its features like automatic ejection of pulp and handy separator for foam. As all the high speed juicers necessarily produce more foam, this feature is needed. The foam strainer of a Braun juicer will give more effective results if the jug is left alone for a minute or so after the extraction is over.

Here’s one more utility feature. By turning over the top cover you may use the same as a filling tray while the machine is operating.

Braun Citrus Juicers

As the name suggest, these Braun juicers are good for extracting juice from citrus fruits only. Although the company says this appliance can do more, we recommend you only use it for oranges or lemons. Some of the models that come from Braun are a good quality machines that you may buy without worries. It's a reputable brand and the do not have a luxury of messing around with the quality and features.

Braun citrus juicers give a pulp free juice with the small but powerful 60 watt motor. You may found some other juice extractors that have 250 watt motors, but they are made for more serious work. Like I said, these Braun juicer are made for citrus fruits and 60 watt motor is perfect for that. You will, of course, find different models on the market, some of them with stronger motors and different design. But this is actually the basis of what Braun has to offer.



You will be able to make only citrus juice, glass after glass. And there is a anti-drip spout that will help you pour the juice without any spilling at all. There are many different models that have problem with this, but Braun is experienced company and has a solution for this.

One minor flaw is that a pulp will overflow into the routing tray. This is a consequence of the design and it may clog up the spout of a citrus juicer.

The new design created one interesting problem now. It is the strainer configuration that isn't removing the seeds anymore. Now you will have to strain the juice by yourself, most of the time. If you do not mind this, then you should really check out what kind of models Braun has.

You will be able to clean this appliance with ease, since it can be disassembled easily. There is a nice dust cover that will protect the juicer cone, which is fine addition. It's nice to see that manufacturer things of small things and wants to help the user as much s possible.

Champion Juicer Review

Plastaket Manufacturing is responsible for the design of Champion juicer, which is capable of providing colorful juice, pale pulp and delicious taste. It is one of the most popular appliances of its kind and has been proven to be reliable and durable product. If you want quality, then Champion juicer is what you want to hear about.

The secret of this juicer is 3 step process: grating, masticating and pressing. The pulp is being chewed until all the cellulose barriers are broken. Then the pressing is taking place and tasty juice is being extracted.



I already talked about the advantages of masticating technology, but I will explain it again. The oxidation and loss of minerals is minimized with this technique. This is why Champion juicer is such a great appliance, it makes juice that is full of enzymes, minerals and all the vitamins that our bodies require. You have to appreciate that.

You will be able to use a lot of different vegetables and fruits with Champion juice extractor. Just try to use carrots, radish, beetroot, celery and other leafy greens - you will have great results with all of them.

Even the stubborn veggies and fruits wont have a chance against it. You can have 1 quart of content within 6 or 7 minutes only. The only thing that will not succumb to this wonderful appliance is wheat grass. But if that is something you really want to try, then you will have to get a special what grass juicer. It is what it is.

But all the other content will be just fine, You have a 1 and 3/4 inch feeding tube on your disposal so you can add fruits and vegetables without preparation at all. And the floating cutter will take care of the pulp, separating it to another container.

When it comes to options, you will have plenty of them. It is not a coincidence that this appliance is so popular. Its ability too produce peanut butter, baby food, sauces and desserts is what makes it such a great juicer. Just try to make an ice-cream with frozen strawberries and you will understand what I am talking about. And fruit smoothies can also be made here, since the Champion easily becomes a grater. Just remove a juicing screen and that's it.



You think this is it? Nope. There is even more. Grind flour, coffee and other grains you want with a mill attachment option. You will be able to make all sorts of meals and food with this machine. It is stunning and quite unbelievable what it can do.

When it comes to maintenance, this machine is quite easy to get along with. You will also be able to deal with accessories with ease. The only thing that can be considered as negative is the strength that is required to operate this machine.

I think you know some of the juicers that are a hell to clean. Well, Champion isn't really made for dishwasher, but it is very easily to rinse its components. You can easily disassemble it and start with cleaning.

Some of the companies brag about the motors their appliances have, but they fail to realize that this machine has them all beaten. Its 540 watt motor is one of the strongest on the market and it generates small amount of heat. A superior design of a stainless steel motor shaft is making this possible.


And when the entire credibility of this machine is in question, let us just say that it has a long life. Much longer then other appliance of this kind. Plastaket is making it since 1955. And they are confident in their Champion juicer, giving a 10 year warranty on it. When you buy this appliance, you buy health, longevity and quality.

Omega 8005 Juicer Review

This Omega juicer works really well. It will juice hard vegetables very well (carrots, beets) and juicy fruits like oranges and grapefruits. It has a little bit of a harder time with soft fruit like pears and apples, meaning that it will juice them but it will take longer: basically it is harder with pulpy fruit to squeeze them through the thin filter.

The only vegetable that it didn't juice well was tomatoes (very pulpy). Even then though, the engine had no problem and was never strained. The juice could have been better if i had been more patient and let it run longer.




It is very easy to assemble and take apart. On average I will set it up, cut up fruit and veggies and juice them (about 16 oz of juice), and then disassemble and wash in under 10 minutes.

It will juice about as fast as you can stick veggies in it. I have yet to try the other attachment, but I cannot foresee any problems.

The pulp is almost dry to dry to the touch, and I have not yet had to use the extra strainer for the foam. It will have up to 1/4 inch of foam on top, but once you pour the juice in a glass it mixes with the juice and disappears.

I have a friend that has this juicer for about 2 years now and he still loves it. Before he bought it, he did a lot of research into different types and brands of juicers. This one was not the cheapest, but was still reasonable. It is also a solid company that backs the product. It also had the potential to juice wheatgrass and leafy vegetables, which was appealing.

He hasn't regretted this purchase for one second; it has been awesome! He has juiced just about every kind of vegetable and fruit including celery, carrots, spinach, parsley, apples, lemons, oranges, watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, etc. This juicer is awesome all around. Does it leave your orange pulp completely dry? No, but it is pretty darn close.



I use mine every day to juice oranges in the morning for breakfast and it is great. I have done several juice fasts with it and this thing just keeps on going. It is easy to disassemble and clean. The price is definitely right for such a quality juicer. As a side note, I recommend juicing to everyone.

It has done wonders for my weight and the way I feel. I have lost 40 lbs using this juicer as a main tool, and it has been great!

Princess Electric Juicer

I had seen this product on an infomercial a few years back, but thought that it was too overpriced to purchase at the time. I think it was selling for something like $200 or so. Over the summer I saw the same item selling for $100 & decided to try it.

I believe that what I purchased wasn't quite this model, but was the Pro version. In any case, as soon as it arrived I read through the accompanying recipe booklet & was intrigued by the varying flavor combinations & went to the market stand to purchase some fresh fruits & vegetables. My first attempt was a ginger, apple, carrot concoction. It was obvious after one sip that I had used too much ginger. Oops! At least I knew it was getting juice from the ginger! *LOL*


I waited to see how the juice would affect my blood sugar, miraculously, without the added artificial sugars, my blood sugar stayed even & I knew that this was exactly what I needed to be able to broaden my dietary habits & enjoy juice.

As advertised, I hadn't had to cut the ginger or the carrot to fit it the chute. I did cut the apple in half, but I left the seeds & stem, also advertised, the juicer didn't seem to have a problem getting through these bits.

I set about cleaning my juicer for the next use & let me tell you, this was a pain & a half, if you hadn't already guessed, I hate cleaning. Juice had spilled on my countertops making them sticky, the pulp catcher had somehow detached as it had "juiced" other items & the pulp that it throws off isn't as dry as they claim. After taking apart the aparatus I had to basically hose off the chute part. Thank goodness I have a big enough sink to spray it off in the sink otherwise I might have had to take it outside & hose it off. The hardest part to clean was the part with all the "teeth". I found it very difficult to get all the food particles off of this piece.

Not willing to give up after one use & having realized the benefit of being able to enjoy fruit juice without passing out, I re-read the directions & discovered that they recommend placing a plastic bag in the pulp catcher.

Deciding to try again with my newfound knowledge, my next few attempts were juicing several fruits for a fruit smoothie. I began by juicing an orange & a pineapple, after finding that a gallon size plastic ziploc bag just wasn't quite big enough I found that a plastic grocery bag was much easier. The plastic bag allowed me to juice several items & either transfer the pulp to a ziploc bag or toss it with much less cleanup as I no longer have to wash the pulp catcher, a quick rinse of this item after using the bag (if at all seems to suffice).

After juicing various concoctions for smoothies & the like & enjoying them, I found that juicing single items like oranges & peaches to be absolutely wonderful. The taste is absolutely amazing if you drink it within a few seconds of being juiced. I also found that I prefer using the juicer when juice is called for in a recipe such as a sorbet, smoothie, or marinade instead of using the store bought sugar laden versions.

Cleaning the "teeth" & the compartment attached to the chute is still a pain, but I've become much more proficient at it as I've used it more.

All in all I think that this type of juicer is a great idea & would be welcomed by many a health conscious individual, but I think that there is room for improvement.

I believe that if the manufacturer were to make it more durable by changing the material it is made from(as I'm not sure how long the plastic parts will hold up under constant use) & to make it easier to clean I think it would have a much better track record.

What I can't be sure of is if different material were used if it would be more expensive than it already is as the point would be to make a good enough product inexpensive enough to be brought to the masses.

Sunkist Juicer

The Jadite Sunkist juicer is a blast from the past. If you are old enough to know what a juicer is, then you will remember your mother using one to make you some fresh squeezed orange juice for breakfast. It is a shallow glass container with a ribbed cone on the top and a shallow rimmed dish on the bottom to catch the juice from the fruit that is being squeezed. The Jadite Sunkist juicer is an antique collectible that is a real treat to find. It is also sometimes called a reamer. The meaning of a reamer is a tool used to bore out a hole into something. If you were to cut a fruit in half and place the cut piece on the juicer and began to turn and squeeze at the same time you would get some juice from the fruit. That is how it got its name, by squeezing the juice from the fruit or reaming the juice from the fruit. The Jadite Sunkist juicer was a very essential tool to have and most homes had a juicer of some form to make their breakfast juice.

The Jadite Sunkist juicer is the color of Jade. Jadite refers to the color and not a company or maker of glass products. Jadite is an opaque green luster that is like a sea-foam green. Jadite is sometimes called “clambroth”. Jadite glass was an inexpensive to make type of dinnerware. It was also a very durable and heavy glass. Jadite was made between 1930 and 1972. The Jadite was produced by many different glass companies. It may have had a slight variance in color, either lighter or darker. One of the most well known is Anchor Hocking glass company. Anchor Hocking made a line of Fire King that also had the seafoam-green color. The Jadite Sunkist juicer was made as an advertisement for the Sunkist Company. What a perfect way to advertise your fruit by giving away a Jadite Sunkist juicer.

Sunkist was first known as the Southern California Fruit Exchange in 1893. It was a cooperative of fruit growers that united to sell their fruit. The Coop was run and shared by the members of the Exchange. It became a very profitable means for the growers to all work together as a team to distribute their fruit. In 1905 the Exchange changed its name to California Fruit Growers Exchange. With all the advertising and promotions of the Fruit Growers the orange started to become a household item. The Jadite Sunkist juicer could have been one of there promotional items. Sunkist was introduced in 1907 and became the symbol of there best quality of fruit. In 1952, Sunkist Growers was the name that was used by the members of the Exchange. Oranges, grapefruit, lemons make up well over half of the citrus produced with a Sunkist label. It is a perfect job for the Jadite Sunkist juicer to harvest the vitamin rich juice from the delicious Sunkist fruit.

If collecting glass or kitchen items is of interest to you then the Jadite Sunkist juicer is a treasure worth searching for. The novelty of having the Sunkist logo and the added value of the Jadite color is worth owning such a fine collectible. We could tell the tales of a time when our mother or grandmother had to get her juicer from the cupboard and squeeze the juice from her favorite fruit to make a glass of juice. It is a reminder of times when we has to do things for ourselves. The quality and freshness of a fruit drink that has been squeezed by a juicer is pure and very good to drink. The Jadite Sunkist juicer can squeeze my fruit any day of the week.

Metrokane Juicer

Metrokane is best known as a provider of manual juice extractors that can be used in households an bars. The popularity of Metrokane juicers is proved by a Mighty OJ juicer which is the best selling manual juice extractor across the globe.

Of course, you can choose any type of product from Metrokane since they are making only quality appliances. You need to figure out how much fresh juice you need in one day and then you can choose the best Metrokane juicer for yourself. The choices are good and Metrokane citrus version can satisfy any need that you have.



First thing you will notice about them that they are designed a bit different then other similar products. This is another reason why Metrokane is so different on the market of home and bar appliances. Even if you are a professional bartender, you won't find a flaw in these products.

You can choose between Citrus Power Professional, Mighty OJ and L-Press.

Citrus Power Professional has a 1,00 pounds of pressure which is a value other products can't even come close to. This makes it extremely easy to use, so limes, oranges, lemons and grapefruit will be squeezed in matter of seconds. You just need to swing the level and you have a fresh cup of juice in front of you.

It is much faster and cleaner then the electric juicer. You simply need to pull the level, but slowly, and that's it. Do not go fast with the level, because that will put to much pressure on the machine itself and it will break down sooner. It is made out of stainless steel, but even that material has its limits and can be damaged in time. When it comes to parts for cleaning, you only have one and it is all hand cleaned. No need for dishwasher to reach those tough spots.

I suggest you find a discount Metrokane juicer, since the full retail price is a bit high for just manual version. If you can find cheap juice extractor, that would be a fine addition to your healthy lifestyle for sure. And bear in mint that electrical versions of Metrokane are a bit cheaper then the manual. This shows you how much this product is really worth and that you should consider it in front of others.

Jack Lalanne Juicer

I know you heard for Jack Lalanne juicer, or how some call it, Power Juicer. It's been on infomercials for a long time. I usually do not recommend and even review products from infomercial, but there are few exceptions. And clearly, Jack Lalanne juicer is one of them.

The experiences of people who used Power juicer are more then good and this is the reason Lallane juicer got so popular. The best thing about a good juicer is that people will talk about it and this is how you know it's safe to buy that same juice extractor.

The most impressive thing about Jack Lalanne juicer is the blade which is made out of high quality stainless steel. It does the perfect work, with the help of a motor that quietly extracts the juice from vegetables and fruits. The statistics say that Jack Lalanne juicers provide 30% more juice then what other juicers extract. This is the truth when compared to mid-range juicers, but it's not the case with Breville juicers.

But the results of Power Juicer work are great, you get a pulp that is drier, so you can use it for cooking if you wish. You can make a great cookies with pulp from a Lalanne juicer.



The blade and the motor of this juicer is powerful, but you have to be careful about the work you do. Do not put too much stress on the motor with hard fruits or long working hours. Make a pause from time to time and use softer fruits so you finish the juice extraction sooner and without damage to the juicer.

Do not think that this juicer can't withstand the pounding, it can. It's a commercial juicer but there are limits even to the high quality products. Jack Lalanne juicer is no exception.

Another thing you have to take care is cleaning. Do not wait for more then 10 minutes, start cleaning the plastic and containers as soon as you can. There are some problems with smaller parts, but the good thing is they can be washed in dishwasher. So if you do not want to sweat it, put the components of Power Juicer in the dishwasher and thats it.

Another great feature that Jack Lalanne juicers posses is the large feeder tube. You no longer have to cut the apples in small pieces or use knife with tomatoes and bananas. Just make sure you take skin from the pineapple or remove seed from avocado. These are making troubles for the blade, so take care of them. Large feeder tube means you don't have to cut the fruits and vegetables, but it doesn't mean you can feed the Jack Lalanne juicer unreasonably.

There will be some people telling you its possible to do that, but you know better. It will work for short time and then the blade and motor will be exploited faster then usual. This means the lifespan of your Lalanne juice extractor is going to be shorter. So, remove the unwanted skins and seeds so you can enjoy in your Power juicer for a long time.

These are all the necessary information you need to know about this great product. It is an infomercial juicer, but it does the great job and it has good reviews from the users. If you want to try Jack Lalanne's juicer, please do and enjoy the healthy lifestyle.

Breville Juicers

Now we are coming to a top notch juicers. Breville doesn't like to play games with fruits, he chops them down and makes a cup of juice with them in a matter of seconds. The best products come from most experienced companies, and Breville juicers are the best you can find on the market right now.

There isn't anything too complicated in extracting juice from fruit and vegetables. It's that some companies make it hard. Maybe they want to save on materials, do not know how to make a quality product or build weak juicers for some other reasons, but the thing is they don't know to make a juicer like Breville does. The power they represent is really awesome, and customers know that. You think people mind paying $300 or more for a quality product? No, not really. If it delivers the goods, people will pay. And every Breville juicer delivers.



First thing you will notice about Breville juice extractors is that they are huge. Especially comparing to some other juicers, they look like giants. The reason for this is quite simple. They have big capacity and can take a lot of fruit and vegetables. One of the biggest advantages of these juicers is that they can take whole fruit down the feed tube. Yup. You no longer have to cut each and every apple to fit the tube. Just throw them in the Breville juicer, and you are good to go. Apples, tomatoes, peaches - you name it.

The other thing that makes them big is their motor. Most of them are 600watt motors, but the king of Breville juicers is a 1000 watt motor that works like a charm. You will need one minute maximum to extract a quart of juicer with these powerful babies. Oh, they are noisy, we have to admit that. But which juicer isn't? They aren't any worse, which is actually expected, considering the size and power of their motors.

Considering safety, there is a handy interlocking switch that will stop the machine in case the cover is not properly locked into the right place. Also, if there is any malfunction or parts breakdown, you are ensured with a 1 year warranty. Compare the to Power Juicer and you will see what advantage Breville juicer has over it. They both are very powerful machines, but the fact that Jack Lalane juicer has a 90 days only warranty tells you a lot about the quality and durability.

If you have a chance to test on of Breville's, do it. Maybe your friend has one, so you can see the advantages of a powerful juice extractor. Check out the container where pulp should be, it is nearly dry! This tells you that all content is extracted into juice and there are no nutrients left behind. It is very important fact, because you will actually save the money in the long run.

You can buy another juicer for $100, but in a few months, you will lose more money on the fruit and vegetables that didn't extract into juice. It's better to squeeze out a bit more cash now and save in the long run.

In spite of the size, Breville juicer is very easy to clean. You will need only 3 to 4 minutes to clean the entire appliance. Maybe you can remember how it was before, when you needed a lot more time to clean the juicer then you needed to make the juice. But now, you will be able to make a cup of juice for entire family in few minutes, and clean the entire Breville juicer while you are still drinking that same juice.



If you want to have a long lasting appliance that will serve perfectly, then one of the Breville Fountain juicers may be a perfect choice for you. They are pricey, but well worth the money.
