Naturally, when you're buying an appliance like a juice extractor, you're going to put price high on the list. There's nothing like the well known brands that some people like bragging about over coffee with their friends.

The thing about this is if you're not knowledgeable about juicers, you may have something that you don't really like. Of course there are people who have written about their experiences about this one point, and not everybody has good things to say.

The centrifugal design for extracting is still around and it was first used when juicers starting being promoted decades ago. The idea with this is to spin something at a high rate and it causes everything to migrate outward because the centrifugal juicer will need to chop up or shred the foods, first. What you'll have to do is decide on whether you want pulp or not, but the default decision seems to be to not put the pulp in the juice. If you don't mind a little heat in your juice, and it's not much, then this may be a good design for you. How much is anyone's guess, but I don't think it's much because the juice is never warm or hot. When you eat and chew, you're masticating, and there's a juice extractor that uses that process. So there are masticating juicers which will mimic the chewing process, and the foods are mechanically squeezed with the typical filtering out of pulp. Those who like to promote this kind of juicing always mention that there's no heat generated, but since there's no heat, then all the nutrients are there and not damaged. Some places will give you a demonstration of the various juicer designs, and those stores are worth looking for, in my opinion.

If you get a monster juicer, just be aware that the heat it creates may possibly impact nutrient quality. Sure, it's great to have a juicer that can take on a tree, maybe, but that's way too much, and it's best to avoid all that heat to preserver the nutritional value of the produce. A good rule of thumb is about 450 watts of power rating, and if you go too much below that, then you may have a wimpy juicer that struggles with carrots or something similar. You can really get into the nitty gritty details with juicers, and this is definitely not anticipated by consumers. It's worth taking your time when shopping for a good quality juice extractor. In addition to reliability, you also want to be sure that getting any parts is not impossible to do. A juicer is something that you may want to look at in person and that's something many people prefer to do.
