Top 5 things to look for in buying a vegetable juicer for your home.
There are many different varieties of vegetable juicers on the market. The best one for you will be based on your specific juicing needs. The following are the top 10 things to be educated about when you get ready to purchase your next vegetable juicer.
1. Type of produce.
Before you go out and buy vegetable juicer, think of the types of produce you will be juicing. Are you only interested in fruits? Are you maybe on a raw food diet and will use anything vegetable, including sprouts and wheat grass? Do you want to make non-juiced items like frozen desserts or nut butters. Are you only interested in making green drinks with green vegetables?
2. Noise level.
There are various degrees of noise produced by vegetable juicers. You should think about what time of day you will plan to juice and consider your options. If you will do this first thing in the morning, a quieter machine may be better for you than a noisier model because the rest of your family may be sleeping. The last thing you want to do is invest in your health by getting a juicing machine and then be scared to use it because it is too noisy.
3. Amount you will make at a time.
When you make fresh juice, it has a very short shelf life. It is best to consume it within 30 minutes. After that time, the live enzymes lose their effectiveness. So, when shopping for a vegetable juicer, try to imagine how much you will make. Some models allow you to make a lot of juice continuously while others force you to stop after about a liter or quart to clean them.
4. The quality and quantity of the juice.
When comparing the end product, you have to be aware that not all vegetable juicers are created equally. You should find out how well the machine separates the pulp from the liquid. The pulp left over should be dry to the touch, then you no that all the juice has been separated. In addition, if you are on a raw food diet, you can use this pulp in recipes. Also, the juice should be free from pulp. If there is a lot of pulp in the juice, you may not enjoy the experience of drinking it.
5. The durability.
The length of warranty and service varies among the many vegetable juicers on the market. The warranty can vary from under a year to 1, 2, 3 or even 5 years. Since you are probably making an investment in your long term health, consider how getting as long a warranty as possible. Of course, many good products with a shorter warranty could still last many years.
There you have it. The top 5 things to look for before buying a vegetable juicer. This is not a completely comprehensive list of features and items to look for when shopping for one, but it is an excellent place to start before embarking on your juicing journey.
