Large chute
Saves preparation time because you don’t have to cut up the fruits into smaller pieces. I really like my Breville because it has a 3-inch wide chute!

Dishwasher safe
Some juicers have removable parts that are dishwasher safe so that you can clean them easily. For lazy people like me, the juicer must be at least easy to clean even if not dishwasher safe.

Clear juice container
Usually centrifugal juicers have a clear juice container with volume markings so that you can measure how much juice you make.

Pulp ejection
Some juicers eject the pulp into a separate container for easier cleaning. You only have to empty that container. This feature is usually not found in centrifugal juicers, which takes a little more work to clean up.

Safety lock lid
The juicer won’t start unless you click the lid on securely. I think the safety features are pretty important, even though a gadget with many safety features may be a bit troublesome to use, but at least they save you trouble cleaning up careless messes afterwards. Most juicers have non-slip base and some have a drip cup to catch the remaining juice.

Speeds
Some juicers come with two speeds. If you like to juice both soft and hard fruits, this is a great feature. Slow speed is for the soft fruits and high speed for hard fruits. This will help get the most out of the fruits.

Metal or plastic?
Some juicers have a metal body but some have a plastic body. A few of the models come in both versions. Some people would choose metal body because the plastic ones look a bit flimsy and breakable, but some prefer plastic body if only because it is lighter and easier to move around. I guess it depends on personal preference because not all plastic ones are really flimsy and of bad quality.

Warranty period
Check for your juicer’s warranty! The manufacturer’s customer service should have a good reputation too, as you wouldn’t want to talk to unhelpful people when you’re already upset over a broken part.

If you have been in the health food circuit for as long as I have, then you’ll know that there’s always a new type of diet out there. Even as there have been diets like the South Beach diet and the Atkins diet and of course, Weight Watchers, here are some diets that have proven popular with juicers all over the world who want to detoxify their bodies, lose a few pounds, or simply tone up and be more healthy.

The Raw Diet

People on this diet eat everything raw because they believe that cooking food kills all enzymes and nutrients present in food. They are more likely to use expensive single gear masticating juicers because these slow speed juicers do not heat up the juice and kill nutrients. They augment their solid raw food with vegetable and fruit juices for a change of palate.

The Juice Diet/ Juice Fasting

People on this diet actually only drink juice the entire time. It cannot be done long-term, but usually is used on a short-term basis of about a day or two to detoxify the body and boost energy levels. The juice must be balanced and pulpy, so it is actually a mix of liquefied raw fruit and vegetables.

Master Cleanse/ Lemon Cleanse/ Maple Syrup Diet

This is a detoxification diet which is meant to be used only for a week or so (short-term, basically) and consists of a diet of only lemonade made from fresh limes or lemons (hence the need for a citrus juicer), maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water. While some people use this diet to lose weight, in general this diet is a detox diet which helps remove dangerous toxins from the body.

Waring Health Juice Extractors is considered good value for the sleek looks and the price you pay. After all, living the healthy way by juicing fruits and vegetables does not need to cost much. This juicer has a 400 watt motor making the extraction process efficient and painless.

Great Features
One of the highlights about Waring Health Juice Extractors is the convenient clean-up. From the compact strainer, pulp collector, lid to the juice collector, they are all dishwasher safe. Finish by wiping the stainless-steel body clean with a sponge.

Consumer Search has noted that many users commented that the stainless steel housing will not stain. So, do not worry as it will not turn orange with time even if you juice carrots everyday. Some users dislike the noise when it is juicing but this juicer juices so fast that it would hardly be an annoyance long enough to anyone in the house!

Minor flaws

However, some reviewers said that the pulp is not completely dry especially when you are juicing soft fruits but the one-litre collection cup is adequate for their needs. Another minor complaint is that you might need to buy a stiff brush separately to clean the cutter.

Although there is a lack of professional reviews, many users have given their two cents worth on Waring Health Juice Extractors. For its relatively low price, this juicer will serve you well if you prefer light-duty juicing and are not the hardcore juicer. Even if the motor breaks down, you can rely on the five-year limited warranty but do note that the appliances are subject to a one-year limited warranty.

Omega 4000 Juicer has a classic look equipped with a pulp ejector- style continuous juicer. Consumer Search rates this juicer as one of the quieter juicers than others in its class. One of the many highlights of this heavy duty juicer is the 15 year guarantee but it is extremely durable that it is more likely than not to outlast even such a long guarantee.

Many users have complimented the powerful and solidly built Omega 4000 Juicer, although some fashion conscious users prefer it to have a more stylish look that befits its price. Nonetheless, the relatively quiet juicer is a plus point because you can juice anytime of the day without disturbing your neighbors!

Its efficiency can be seen by the dry pulp after juicing. Better yet, this juicer is very pleasant to use that you would want to use it even more, leading to a healthier lifestyle. Another advantage is when you turn this juicer off, it stops in a few seconds unlike some other juicers which takes much longer due to the heavy food in the drum. However, the chute is small so you might need to do a little chopping prior to juicing.

Nonetheless, a special mention by a particularly satisfied consumer is that Omega read the reviews posted by their users so whenever there is any mishaps, they will be ever willing to fix it!

Take a look at the Wall Street Journal’s excellent review of this juicer if you need more convincing that Omega 4000 Juicer is certainly a sturdy, well-engineered and efficient juicer.

This Green Power Twin Gear Juicer KPE 1304 rocks when it comes to squeezing out fresh juice that lasts! The new bio-ceramic and magnetic technology it uses ionizes the juice as it comes out, so the juice can be kept fresh for as long as 72 hours.

Green Power Twin Gear Juicer KPE 1304

Green Power Twin Gear Juicer KPE 1304

Do you know what that means? No more going into all the trouble of preparing fruits and veggies for juicing when you crave that refreshing drink right now. I’ve found that preparing extra juice when I’m free is so much easier.

There are other things I like about this Green Power Twin Gear Juicer as well. Its horizontal twin gears can juice many kinds of greens, herbs, plants, veggies and grass, besides fruits of course.

Surprisingly, they don’t clog up even when there is a lot of pulp, because this juicer totally crushes the fruits and veggies and the remains are pretty much dried up. However one user pointed out that the juice is pulpy, which is what I like, but if you don’t, a strainer will help.

The motor is good and strong, and if anything too hard meets with the gears, it will automatically stop to protect the juicer. In any case, the Green Power Twin Gear Juicer KPE 1304 comes with 10-year warranty. Other users will tell you that the customer service is pretty good too.

One little trouble to go over the Green Power Twin Gear Juicer KPE 1304 though, is that screens have to be changed when juicing veggies after juicing fruits, or vice versa. If you juice both kinds, then washing up both screens will be required afterwards.

If you’re willing to go to that trouble in exchange for a time-saving, all-versatile juicer, this Green Power Twin Gear Juicer KPE 1304 is just great!

Slim, elegant-looking professional citrus juicer is what I would describe this Hamilton Beach 932 as. This tall (20”) citrus juicer is the cream of manual juicers with that friendly lever and simple design to get you the most out of a citrus fruit.

Hamilton Beach 932

Hamilton Beach 932

Designed for Best Juicing
I really like it that the strainer has a lot of little holes all around so the juice gets through without trouble. The pulp can be collected and left out or put into the juice afterwards as you like. Many users have commented that less citrus oil is tasted in the juice so the juice is not bitter at all, and I realized this is the case too.

This Hamilton Beach 932 takes no time to clean and keeps your countertop spotless with its drip cup. When you remove the juice glass, the drip cup will swing into place to prevent any remainder of the juice staining your countertop. I find it very easy to disassemble too.

One thing to note is that this citrus juicer is really tall and not suitable for using or storing under your kitchen cabinets. Although this gadget is rather light and can be easily carried around, if you don’t have the space, you might just regret it.

A couple of reviewers said that the Hamilton Beach 923 seems breakable if you press too hard on the lever, but it hasn’t been a problem for me because I think it works really well getting all the juice out of the fruits even when I’m not pressing very hard.

If you like fresh fruit juice from citrus fruits such as lemons, limes, oranges, and even grapefruits, without the white stuff in it, this is a pretty good juicer to get.
