Everyone knows what the juicers are for. They help the housewives turn juicy fruits, vegetables and berries into healthy juices. But how quickly and easily this process will go depends to a large extent on the functionality and quality of the juicer itself. How to choose the most suitable model for you?
Citrus juicer
This is a kitchen appliance consisting of an engine, a conical nozzle and a container for collecting finished juice.
The power range of this juicer is from twenty to eighty watts. The more power, the more juice is squeezed out.
Containers for collection of juice are from a half liter to 1.2 liters. Choosing a juicer will depend on the number of people who will drink juice. If the juicer is purchased for one person, then the volume in one liter will be too much, because the juice of citrus fruit can not be stored, it is recommended to drink it immediately after squeezing, no later than ten minutes.
When purchasing a citrus juicer, it is important to ask about the availability of the reverse function. In an apparatus that has this capability, the motor will rotate the nozzle in either direction, which will allow more juice to be squeezed out.
Universal juicers
These models are used for squeezing juice from a variety of vegetables, berries and fruits. They are not suitable only for fruits with small bones( grapes, dogwood, pomegranate).
Two types are available:
- With a cylindrical separator - their use will allow you to get the whole volume of squeezed juice out. A juicer of this type should be periodically disassembled to clean the separator from the cake.
- With a conical separator - they have a container for collecting the annealing, so that the instrument is much more convenient to use. But the yield of juice in such models does not exceed seventy percent.
It is important to take into account that the larger the container, the less often it is necessary to clean it.
It should also be noted that a set of many juicers of a universal type includes nozzles for citrus. This will save money( you do not have to buy a citrus juicer separately) and a storage space( eventually there will only be one juicer).
And a number of parameters that should be taken into account when choosing the model of the universal juicer:
- power - varies from two hundred to one thousand two hundred watts, the higher this characteristic, the less time is required for squeezing the juice;
- duration of continuous operation - for different models this time is different - from ten to twenty minutes, and there are models with unlimited time of continuous operation;
- rotational speed of the centrifuge - affects the amount of juice produced, the optimum option is eight to ten thousand revolutions per minute;
- speed controller - allows you to control the speed of squeezing the juice depending on the type of fruit and adjust the amount of pulp in the juice;
- presence of a foam cutter - ensures the output of pure and transparent juice.
