Drinking juice made out of fresh fruits and veggies can be an excellent way to not only get refreshed but also improve your health and get more energy for your daily pursuits.
Whether it's just for keeping well-hydrated throughout the day, or you like to drink these juices for their taste, fruit juices have always been popular and many companies manufacture these according to their unique recipes.
That said, while there are manufacturers out there that make high-quality fruit and vegetable juices (as well as various combinations of the two), it is still true that the best way to ensure that you will get most out of the fruit the juice is made out of - would be to make the juice yourself.

The other way of getting fresh juice would be to get a juicer.
These contraptions have a small motor connected to a set of blades that then shred the fruits and vegetables ( and possibly various kinds of nuts such as almonds or chestnuts ), which then separates the juice from the rest of the fruit, which is mostly unusable.
In this article, we're going to present to you six different commercial juicers you can find easily on the market. As you will see, each of these can be an excellent solution for your juice-producing and drinking needs, but each of them is slightly different in terms of construction, design, price, and some other parameters. To make the choice easier for you, we've also organized a brief buyer's guide, as well as a section where we've answered the most frequently asked questions for this category.
Here's the deal.
Depending on how much power juice extractors have, the manufacturers may feel it's a good idea to introduce a gear system to make the operation more layered and to give the user more options to work with.
So, if you want to buy a powerful juicer, make sure that it comes with a couple of gears or speeds because this will facilitate the juicing process. (You will be able to juice different fruits and veggies at different speeds.)
Juicers that do have gears usually have two or three gears, although some of the more robust models can have a many as five gears. Generally speaking, the more gears you have, the more options you have to choose from when it comes to juicing your favorite fruits and vegetables.
Since juicers fall into the category of kitchen appliances, the material they're made out of plays an important role not only for how safe the juice is you make with it but also for the ease of maintenance, as well as the overall longevity of the contraption.
Many commercial juicers are made out of stainless steel, which is a material the manufacturers of these appliances often go for because it is durable and it doesn't rust. Other materials include plastic or cast steel for the casing, titanium for the blades, and combinations of these.
As far as the best value for money is concerned, going for stainless steel is always a good idea as it is less expensive than titanium and more durable than plastic.
Juicers are notorious for the difficult cleaning procedure after you're done using them.
The thing is, no matter how well-designed they are, the regular maintenance of a juicer typically means you have to take it apart first and then meticulously clean all the individual pieces.
That said, many manufactures make their juicer in such a way that their mesh nets and other dirty pieces can be easily detached and cleaned in a dishwasher, so if you find juicer maintenance tough and boring, look for models that have dishwasher-friendly removable parts.
The motor of a juicer represents its most important part (together with the blades) as it makes the blades spin and the fruits and vegetables blast into a million microscopic pieces, so to speak.
Generally speaking, juicers of up to 400 - 500 Watts are more than enough for tackling most juicing tasks, but if you want something extra special, there are models out there that go up to 1,000 Watts.
Juicer accessories typically include special mesh nets and filters for juicing different fruits and vegetables.
They are usually included in the set itself, so you probably won't have to buy these separately. The more accessories a juicer comes with, the broader variety of fruits and veggies you will be able to juice using the same juicer.
If you're looking for a product that is easy to operate, easy to clean, and can produce great juices out of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables you put in it, this Champion Juicer contraption can be just what you've been looking for.
This juicer doesn't sport a lightweight build full of plastic parts, so you can expect that it will last you a very long time if you take care of it regularly. With this thing, you can make juice out of a wide variety of vegetables, so you won't have to worry about having to skip on some of your favorite things just because your juicer can't handle them.
The shaft of this contraption is made out of high-quality stainless steel, which means it is easy to clean and that it could survive a nuclear blast in terms of longevity. Also, you get a funnel as a part of this deal, so you can feed the vegetable into the grinder easily and without risking injuries.
Powered by a mighty 2,800-RPM motor, this juice extractor from VBENLEM will easily cut through a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. What this powerful rotation of blades does to the things you through in this juicer is separate juice from the fibers, so you will always get the clearest and most delicious juice out of anything you throw in this thing.
The way the motor works is via five different gears. You choose the gear depending on what sort of fruit or vegetable you're throwing in, so if you're making a banana smoothie, for example, you can choose a slower gear. ( Because bananas are soft and it doesn't take much to mush them. ) On the other hand, mushy fruits, for example, such as apricots and pears may take a higher gear to extract the juice.
The idea of including these gears goes back to energy consumption. Why use more electricity for juicing something on the highest setting, when you can easily achieve the same results with the lower settings, too.
As our entry number three, we've got a manually-operated contraption that is easy to use, looks interesting so it can easily fit in any kitchen décor, and that comes with a useful multifunctional cup, for good measure.
The way you operate this contraption is by rotating the lever it comes with, which then squeezes the citrus fruit you've placed on the juicing net. As the title suggests, this contraption should only be used with citrus fruits, because the shape of the fruit plays a major role in ensuring the juice you extract from these doesn't spill everywhere. So, oranges, lemons, grapefruits, limes, and other representatives of this fruit family all can be 'milked' with this contraption from Hamilton Beach Commercial.
To prevent damage to the build of this thing due to excess acidity that the citrus fruits inevitably produce, the folks at Hamilton Beach decided to coat the metal parts of this juicer with a special acid-resistant finish. As far as the funnel and the strainer cone, these two parts are made out of stainless steel, so there is no danger they will get damaged by acidity - because they don't rust.
Made out of highest-quality stainless steel, this cold press from Tribest represents one of the best cold presses for fruits and vegetables currently on the market. The great thing about this contraption is that it comes with a unique pressure-adjusting system, so you can squeeze different fruits at different pressure rates - enabling you to get the most out of the fruits and veggies you throw in this thing.
The secret to this press's excellent performance is its slow-rotating 110-RPM blades, which are there to ensure that no juice is wasted through unnecessary oxidization. This means that whatever fruits, vegetables, or greens you throw in this thing, you can rest assured it will be able to slowly squeeze and salvage the majority of juices out of it. So, the waste factor, so to speak, is reduced to the minimum with this contraption.
As far as the manufacturer's confidence in this product is concerned, what you need to take into consideration would certainly be the 15-year warranty, which is there to protect the customer from any malfunctions that can happen while using this thing. If anything goes wrong with this juicer through no fault of your own, you can simply contact the Tribest customer service and they'll take care of it.
If you're on a lookout for an odd-looking but highly-efficient and easy-to-use citrus juicer, this model from Hamilton Beach can be just the thing for you. This especially goes for the folks who like to extract larger quantities of juice in a single go, as this contraption comes with an extra-tall spout under which you can place large pitchers and other containers.
The great thing about this large spout is that it's also a breeze to clean because its size means no smaller pieces can get stuck into small crevices and other places. All you need to do to clean this thing after use would be to take it apart and then meticulously clean the individual pieces under some water.
As far as powering this thing is concerned, the folks at Hamilton Beach decided to put a brushless induction motor in this thing, which means you won't have to worry about the loud operation. This makes it perfect for bars, evening parties, and other places where a quiet atmosphere is of importance.
Featuring a powerful 1,000-Watt motor, this juicer can do wonders for extracting a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. What's more, it comes with two different speeds - low ( 6,500 RPM ), and high ( 13,000 RPM ), so you can use it to tackle a different kind of fruits and vegetables.
As far as the cutting system itself is concerned, it's made out of ultra-sharp titanium, which cuts through various fruits and vegetables like butter. This sharp blade design ensures you will be able to use the most of the juice you extract from the fruits and veggies you throw in it.
Material-wise, the folks at Breville made sure that this contraption is durable, so they made the housing out of cast steel, the blades out of titanium, and then there's also the stainless steel mesh filter which is there to prevent the larger chunks from entering the cup where you're collecting the juice below.
Commercial juicers are juicers that are made en masse by professional manufacturers.
They are usually available in both online and offline stores and are made by trustworthy brands. These contraptions usually come with extensive descriptions and have warranties to go with them.
It is.
Celery juice possesses many positive anti-inflammatory properties as it includes compounds that battle cardiovascular diseases, jaundice, liver disease, rheumatic disorders, and many other conditions and illnesses. Of course, while a cup of celery juice every morning is safe and promoting good health, overdoing it can have counterproductive results - especially if you're trying to replace meals with celery juice.
It depends on what you want to achieve.
If you want to ingest the mushed fruits and vegetables as a meal, then blending may be a better solution, because, through blending, more nutrients are retained in the mixture.
On the other hand, if you only want the juice and plan to use it as a refreshment or a supplement to your diet, then using a juicer may be a better idea.
The more powerful the juicer, the more options you will have to work with when it comes to juicing.
Some juicers have as many as 1,000 Watts, which gives you plenty of room to juice different fruits and vegetables according to your needs. Typically, these juicers also come with several speeds, so you can adjust the speed at which you're juicing the fruits and vegetables of your choice.
When it comes to the number of power juicers have, 400 Watts is a decent figure.
That said, it all depends on what sort of fruits and vegetables you plan to use it for. Tougher fruits such as apricots, for example, typically require more power because they don't have that much juice. That said, for most fruits and veggies, 400 Watts is more than enough, so if you get a juicer of such a power rating, so to speak, you can rest assured you will be able to tackle many different juicing tasks.
