Juicer Comparisons - Compare by Type and Brand


Juicer comparisons in this article will help you chose the correct juicer for you and your needs. There are many factors to consider when comparing juicers to purchase.

Here are a few questions to keep in mind when selecting your juicer:
  • How easy is it to clean?
  • How noisy is it?
  • What is its juicing speed?
  • What types of produce will you be using?
Now that you have answered those questions, we need to figure out what type you need.

Juicer Comparison By Type

The Centrifugal Juicer
This is an affordable juicer and does not have a lot of moving parts. That makes it easy to operate and relatively easy to clean.

The way it works is by using a shredder (disc shaped), then spins out the juice and a filtered basket catches the remnants of the produce, i.e. pulp. This type of juicer is made so a large variety of fruits and vegetables can be juiced.

The Citrus juicer
This is also an affordable juicer. It works like the centrifugal juicer, but, as the name says, is specialized for citrus. The strainer baskets catch the pulp.

Some of the little more expensive citrus juicers have the ability to further juice the pulp. This feature is called “centrifugal”. Some people have complained that the pulp strainers are difficult to clean. Check your model.

The Masticating juicer
This juicer produces less foam. The results are often thicker, making it a good juicer to make baby food, sauces, ice creams or sorbets.

It works by first grating the produce, then it masticates it and finally juices it. You can determine whether you want a fine or coarse output.

This type is very versatile but a little higher priced than the above mentioned. It can also make homogenized products.

The Wheatgrass juicer
There is the manual juicer in which you feed the wheatgrass in and hand crank the juicer. The electric types have a large channel to allow for the accommodation of leafy produce.

This juicer can be used for other produce but the quality may not be as good as the other juicers. It is specialized for leafy produce.
