With so many juicers around in the stores, deciding on one can be quite confusing. I initially became aware of the the benefits of juicing after purchasing a Power Juicer by Jack Lalanne. People spend a fair bit of their time finding a right juicer , but often miss the shot by a long distance. Before going out and purchasing one it is important to  look at your requirements. It is important to know the main differences between the different juicers such as fruit and wheatgrass juicers. Before going out and making a purchase, writing a list of  features you want is a useful exercise

On the market there are a variety of different juicers available. Choices such as a masticating juicer, centrifugal juicer and a twin gear juicer can often be quite confusing. Centrifugal machines are the most common and  most affordable than any other juicers. They juice fruits and vegetables at very high speeds and are very effective. They should not be used for foods like wheatgrass, spinach, and lettuce. In order to prevent any of the juice going to waste it is often advisable to buy a single or twin blade device. For these varieties, special designs of juicers are available. One of the  suitable types is the Miracle-mj 500  Juicer. They contain no aluminium parts, are easy to assemble, disassemble and operate and are usually cheaper. Higher quality juices can be made by masticating appliances as they work at lower speeds and cause reduced oxidation of the fruit juice.

I would recommend checking the guarantee of any machine before purchasing. A good juicer will have a warranty range of 5- 10 years. As the cutting blade wears out  after 2 to 4 months of use, proper checks should be done before any buying. It is very important to consider the percentage yield that the juicer produces because this  determines the output. There should be a lot less waste and more of thevegetable juice in the final product. Fruit juice can often be damaged by the oxidation produced by the heat from a higher power motor. I would advise buying a machine with a power output of around 420 watts.

A branded machine such as the Jack lalanne Power Fruit Juicer is often a better buy than a non-branded machine. The reason being replacement parts are  more readily avaialble and often  cheaper.

An added benefit of the modern appliances is  they can be used for other functions  than just juicing. They can be used to make nut butters, pasta and ice cream along with many other food stuffs. The more modern  juicer is truly a versatile appliance.
