How to choose a citrus juicer?

Choosing a juicer, a potential buyer needs to decide what kind of juice he will drink: classic orange juice in the morning for vivacity or from different fruits or vegetables. In the first case, a citrus press is suitable. It can be used for processing only mandarins, oranges, grapefruits or lemons. This device has small dimensions, takes up little space and is usually inexpensive. The citrus juicer consists of a ribbed cone-shaped nozzle, a motor and a container for collecting juice. Juice is obtained by pressing on the nozzle half a citrus. Through the holes in the nozzle, the resulting juice flows into the container.

When choosing such a juicer for the house, it is necessary to take into account several parameters, for example, the power of the device. This kind of juicer, it ranges from 20 to 80 watts. The higher this figure, the faster you will get an invigorating drink. Pay attention also to the volume of the container for collecting the juice: it is from 400 ml to 1.2 l. But since freshly squeezed citrus juice should be drunk immediately and should not be stored, give preference to models with a capacity of 1-3 glasses. In addition, when selecting this device, you can pay attention to additional functions, for example, the reverse mode, in which the nozzle rotates the motor in different directions, which allows you to teach more juice. It is convenient to use the device with a lever that holds the citrus on the nozzle.

How to choose a universal juicer?

So-called universal juicers allow you to get juice from various fruits, vegetables and berries. But, unfortunately, not all. Usually manufacturers specify in the instruction, which fruits can not be applied. The device works as follows: the fruit pushes through the neck to the disk grater and is crushed, and then in the separator, the centrifugal force from the mass squeezes the juice that comes through the hole in the container. There are two types of separator - cylindrical and conical type. In the first type, the degree of spinning is 90%, and in the second 70%. The squeezed pulp is thrown into a special removable container.

When choosing such a juicer for tomatoes , apples, pears, cabbage or beets, first of all pay attention to the power. Its minimum indicator for such models ranges from 250 to 1500 watts. The speed of rotation of the separator is also important. The presence of high speed makes it possible to grind solid products. Most devices are equipped with 2-3 speeds. The optimal figure is 7-10 thousand rpm. Before buying, think about the size of the juicer. Some powerful models are rather dimensional, and therefore it is inconvenient to use them in a small kitchen. Many modern models of universal juicers are equipped with a reservoir for juice with a scale, a brush for cleaning the separator, additional nozzles and a tray for feeding products.

Often, the customer can choose the choice of a screw juicer . Such a universal device to descend according to the principle of working with a meat grinder, where the auger screw grasps the fruit, twists it and squeezes out the juice, flipping the flesh aside. This is a very effective type of juicer, it is often used to produce juice, even from products such as cereals, herbs, berries.

When choosing them, be guided by quality parts made of stainless steel, power (it is small 150-250 W), screw speed (from 40 to 110 rpm).
