What to Look for in a Juicer
Making your own juices from fresh fruits and vegetables is an easy way to get essential vitamins and nutrients into your diet. Drinking juiced produce allows you to have the numerous health benefits of consuming fruits and vegetables, all in one glass. Does this Spark an idea?
-
Frequency of Use
-
The first thing to consider when looking for a juicer is how often you will use it. If you juice every day, you will want a machine that is durable. If you are going to juice sparingly, a smaller electric or manual juicer should be sufficient.
Ease of Cleaning
-
Some juicers are virtually effortless to clean, but others require more time and energy. Check to see whether any parts of the juicer can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
-
Noise Production
-
Electric juicers can be noisy, so take this into consideration if you live in an apartment or duplex. If you need a quieter model, look for a "noiseless" juicer, although it may cost a little more.
Speed
-
Electric juicers are the best option for fast juice production. These models also produce more juice than manual juicers. If you are not going to juice regularly and speed is not an issue, look for a hand-held or counter-mounted manual juice press.
Portability
-
If you will be using your juicer in more than one location, look for a lightweight, portable model. This is also ideal for those who want to store their appliance in a cupboard.
