Kitchenaid Maximum Extraction Juicer Onyx Black

Product Information

While some blenders claim to also function as a juicer, only ultra-powerful blenders can stand up to the task of whole food juicing. When choosing between a high-speed blender and a juicer, the key difference is the fiber content of the finished product. In our test, we were impressed with how easy it was to remove the juice from the fruit. There were no dials or controls to operate - we just switched it on, and away we went. The motor is automatically powered on and off when you apply or remove the pressure to the juicing cone. Style: There are two different styles of juicers: vertical and horizontal – which refers to the way you feed in fruits and veggies. With a vertical juicer, you feed ingredients at the top, and juice is collected from the bottom. With a horizontal juicer, you feed fruits and vegetables into the left side and juice is extracted from the right. Vertical juicers typically have fewer pieces and a more intuitive design, making setup, juicing and cleanup a bit simpler than the slightly more cumbersome horizontal models. Price: Cold-press or masticating juicers tend to be more expensive than their centrifugal counterparts because their machinery usually has more parts and is a little more involved to ensure that juice doesn't get heated during the juicing operation. While there are some affordable options, expect to spend a couple hundred dollars to get a juicer that’s designed to last — and make good juice. Conveniently, most cold-press juicers on this list have a long warranty as well. It's effective at producing plenty of juice from fruit and vegetables, but in our tests, the juices we created weren't completely smooth and had a large layer of froth on top too. The Nutribullet Juicer also struggled to produce much juice from leafy green vegetables, such as kale, although this is what we'd expect from a centrifugal juicer. A compact and neat juicer, the Nutribullet has a wide feed chute, so we didn't have to waste time chopping fresh produce, and the pitcher comes with a lid to make storing the juice easy. There's also a recipe booklet, which offers plenty of inspiration for those new to juicing. So if you're on a budget, this is a juicer worth considering.

The Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer is a masticating juicer, using a low and slow method that does not expose the produce to heat. Slow juicing, or cold-pressed juicing, may preserve more of the enzymes and nutrients of produce compared to the heat-producing techniques of high-speed machines; however, the evidence of this is inconclusive. Power: It's worth considering the wattage for centrifugal juicers, particularly if you juice tougher items like celery or greens. Look for models upwards of 1,000 watts to juice tough ingredients. Weaker motors may stop working mid-juice because they get overheated and need to cool down. When it comes to masticating juicers, the force that is exerted is more important than the wattage (which tends to be low), since fruits and veggies are crushed and pressed to separate the juice from the pulp. To get an indication of how fast and powerful your cold press juicer is, look at the device’s revolutions per minute (RPM) and wattage. For both of these specs respectively, a lower number indicates a slower and less powerful machine.For masticating juicers, I prefer a slow one. The Aicok came in as a gift from my granny, but I loved it for all the features it offered. The Kuvings Cold Press Juicer doesn't come cheap, but with its relatively heavy base and stylish body, you can tell you're paying for a durable, serious piece of kit.

Like most models, this one also features two speed modes for soft and hard fruits. Its stainless-steel barrel is what attracts me. The modern design fits in any home décor while embracing food-grade cutting disc approved safe to use. If you have some time to spend for more juice, a masticating juicer fits you. Nutrition-loss is not a huge problem with a masticating juicer as there is no heat formation during the process. The juice is better for preserve in the fridge for up to 72 hours. So, if you have like an hour for juicing, throwing a bunch of things into it, and prepare juice for that day, this type is the best choice.This is important if you plan to juice a lot of dense produce like carrots and beets — the machine’s auger has to work harder for longer if it’s a low-power machine. However, if leafy greens and soft, pulpy fruits are your juicing produce of choice, a low-power cold press juicer shouldn’t have any trouble at all with liquefying them. How We Chose Tips for living well — get our free Food & Health newsletter: shop savvy, eat well, stay healthy Different types of juicer To find the best juicers, we’ve spent hours in the kitchen putting the top models to the test to make a green juice from broccoli, celery, pears, and ginger, while also juicing carrots, oranges, and apples. As well as evaluating how smooth the drinks are and how fast they’re dispensed, we’re also looking for whether bitterness from the pith and pulp has tainted the taste of the juice, how much foam has been created in the drink and if there’s any remaining fresh produce in the appliance that hasn’t been juiced. On testing, we found it easy to assemble and simple to use. The juice yields were slightly below what we’ve seen from more premium slow juicers but exceeded the results from its nearest competitor in terms of price, the Ninja Cold Press Juicer. The components are dishwasher safe, which makes for easy cleaning, too. The global company of Aicok, with an in-depth understanding of the appliance industry, knows what customers need in a juicer. Thus, products from Aicok always feature superior quality as well as ease of use. With the aim to bring high-ends to every home, Aicok promises to make a breakthrough in all of their coming products.

As the name suggests, a slow juicer takes time to break down fruit and vegetables to ensure that as many nutrients as possible are retained, and every drop of juice is extracted. They're more expensive than a centrifugal juicer, but this can be cost-effective in the long run as you'll get a higher juice yield. I don’t see any annoyance when chatting and using this machine simultaneously. It produces less vibration for less noise and more stability. Consider where your juicing priorities lie; getting more out of your drink or your time. It’s also helpful to decide what you’ll primarily be juicing, as different speeds and juicing methods are better at processing specific types of produce.Since it has a small chute, keep in mind that you’ll likely need to cut up your ingredients before adding them in. Although it only has one speed, it also has a “reverse” function that lets you clear out clogs without having to take the machine apart. Multiple reviewers tout that this cold press juicer is easy to clean, its pulp is pressed perfectly dry, and the quality of the juice extracted is delicious.
