What is the Best Juicer?
This is a question that I get asked all the time.
Having been an avid juicer and nutrition buff for the past 15 years, I have tested and owned many brands and models of juicing machines. Over this time, my opinion and experience about what I think the best juicer is based on several factors.
So is there really 1 best juicer?
Yes - kind of.
However, the real question to ask is what is the best juicer machine for you?
The truth is, the best juicer machine is one that you will use on a regular basis.
After all, you may have the top juicer on the market today, but if you don't use it because it doesn't conveniently fit in with your lifestyle, then the machine is effectively useless. Then, you might not make fresh juices at all and go back to buying nasty store-bought juice, or expensive juices at the juice bar. So, it makes the most sense to purchase a juice machine that you are confident you will use regularly for many years.
This brings to a quick discuss about the 2 main types of juicing machines:
1. Centrifugal juicer machines
2. Masticating juicer machines
Centrifugal Juicer Machines
A centrifugal juice extractor is definitely the type of machine you want if you lead a busy lifstle and you are pressed for time. These machines are the fastest of the electric juice machine, often by a long way. The Jack LaLanne Juicer Machine is a prime example of a centrifugal juicer (although I would avoid it, there are much better machines). Centrifugal machine have high-speed motors that power a shredding disk at ultra-fast speeds. Quality brands and models can make a juice in 8 seconds or less. The two best centrifugal juicer machines that we recommend are the "Breville 800JEXL" and the "Breville BJE200XL". Two great juicers that fit different budgets.
