The Jack Lalanne Power Juicer

I initially became aware of the super benefits of juicing after purchasing a Jack Lalanne power juicer. With a lot of juicers available in the shops and stores, choosing one can be quite confusing. There are many available and a lot of people end up buying an unsuitable one. Before going out and buying one it is important to look at your requirements. As vegetable and fruit juicers are quite different from wheatgrass juicers it is important differentiate the two. I would recommend making a list of the features you want before going out and buying one.

On the market there are a variety of different machines available. Choices such as a masticating juicer, centrifugal juicer and a twin gear appliance can be confusing. The cheapest appliances are the centrifugal juicers which are the most commonly found in the shops. They process fruits and vegetables at very high speeds and are very effective. They should not be used for foods like wheatgrass, spinach, and lettuce. They can also let some of the juice go to waste and to avoid this, single blade or twin blade juicers must be used. For these types of food product there are dedicated juicers available. An auger juicer such as the Miracle MJ 500 is one example of a suitable type for this function. They contain no aluminium parts, are easy to assemble, disassemble and operate and are usually cheaper. Higher quality juices can be made by masticating juicers as they operate at lower speeds and cause less oxidation of the fruit juice.

Before buying the juicer you should properly check the guarantee that is being offered. Most quality juicers should give between 5 to 10 years on the warranty. Also it is advisable check the blades and the quality of them as most will need replacing after two to four months of normal usage. It is very important to consider the yield that the juicer produces because this determines the output. The juicer should give more juice and less waste. A motor rating of around four hundred and twenty watts is advised as heat from using a higher power rating motor can destroy the product due to oxidation.

A branded machine such as the Jack Lalanne Power Juicers are often a better buy than a non-branded machine. This is because, spares and replacement parts are often easier to find.

Other than producing fruit and vegetable juicers, many modern machines can be used for different functions. Pasta, ice-cream, nut butters are a few of the food products that can be made with the assistance of these machines. These modern appliances are really quite versatile.
