Juicers

 

It's impossible to pick the best juicer.  There is not a juicer on the market that is best at both fruit and vegetable juices.  Instead, you need to decide what you need from your juicer.  If you want fresh orange juice every morning, your best juicer will be different than someone who wants carrot juice.  No matter what kind of juicer you decide on, go with a high end model.  The low end models are noisier, are harder to clean, and extract less juice.

 

If you want citrus juice as well as vegetable juices, it's best to buy a citrus juicer as well as a more mainstream one.  For your main juicer, decide if you want to juice both fruits and vegetables, or if you are more interested in vegetables.  Also decide if you want to be able to juice wheatgrass, as only some models have this feature.

 

Citrus Juicer Recommendation:

 

OrangeX 17332 Mid-size Commercial Juicer

For fresh squeezed orange juice, purchase an OrangeX commercial juicer.  It's made of cast iron and stainless steel for durability and is attractive on your kitchen counter.  Just raise the handle, place the fruit on the funnel, and lower the handle until you've squeezed out a cup of fresh juice.

It is not as good at extracting lemon or lime juice.  For that, a simple handheld model is often sufficient.

Mostly Vegetables Recommendation:

 

Green Star 3000 Juice Extractor

If you want the highest nutritional quality from your juices and you'll be juicing mainly vegetables with some fruits, you'll want a twin gear juicer.  Its low rpm leads to a relatively quiet juicing experience.  Since the produce is juiced at a low speed, your juice will not be warm.  Take cool produce from the fridge and you'll end up with a beverage at the same temperature. 

 

In addition to fruit and vegetable juice, this juicer can make wheat grass juice, baby food, nut butters, pasta, and mochi. 

 

The machine can take some time to clean, but if you rinse immediately after use it is not difficult.

 

Both Fruits and Vegetables Recommendation:

 

Omega 4000 Juicer

 

If you want fruit and vegetable juices equally and don't need extras such as nut butters, consider purchasing the Omega 400 juicer.  It's good if you want fast, easy, and quick juice making.  This is a centrifugal ejection juicer, which means that you do not have to stop the juicer to empty out the basket.
