Factors To Take Into Consideration When Selecting a Fruit Juicer

August 27th, 2009

When most of us buy a fruit juicer, we base our decision on things such as quality, speed, our needs, performance and of course price. These all are very important factors in our decisions. But to me, the most important factor is thinking about what the juicing needs are. Because all of the remaining factors are driven by the needs you might have for fruit juicing, for example, do you want to juice fruit or vegetables? If fruit then do you want to juice fruits such as apples or oranges. There are so many types and models of fruit juicers, that each one of them is mostly effective in juicing either a certain type of fruits or vegetables. There are some multi-purpose juicers but then they don’t do a very good job as compared to ones that are made for specific purpose such as just juicing vegetables or fruits.

Juicing needs:
If you can spend enough time deciding and narrowing down your juicing needs, you will have done the biggest part in your purchase and the time well spent. Because your juicing needs determine the type of fruit juicer you should buy to fulfill your needs.

Quality:
Quality of your fruit juicer is also very important. To me when it comes to looks vs. quality, I always go for the quality. So, deciding which type of quality you are looking for is very important because also leads to pricing factor. It’s not always true that a higher price makes a better quality product. Many times you can find something that is at a very good price but has a very good quality.

Performance:
This is also very important, because some juicers will juice very efficiently, smoothly and without hassle but then there are some that will take you a long time, will bounce up and down on the table and will make a lot of noise but less juice.

Speed:
Some people prefer fast speeds because fast fruit juicers are quick to juice, it does not take very long and usually they have the ability to juice whole fruit and vegetables. But then there are some folks that don’t like juicers with fast speeds. Because high speed juicers create more heat that can be transferred to the juice and which then can damage some of the nutrients. Low speed juicers also control the foaminess that is created while juicing.

Price:
Of course this could be the most significant factor when choosing a fruit and vegetable juicer. Depending on your needs and budget, you are going to select a machine. I am very adamant on buying a quality juicer that might cost a bit more but then might last longer as compared to buying something cheaper that could break down in matter of months.

As there are multiple brands available in the market that can fit these criterion but most famous ones are Breville Juicer, ACME Juicer and jack lalane juicer.
