The 5 best juicers of 2022

I should explain what each type of juicer is and how they work.

A masticating juicer is also called a slow juicer. It uses an auger or a drill-like device. Once fruits and vegetables are placed in the juicer, the auger crushes them as they advance through the chute. It then squeezes them and pushes them through a mesh screen to separate the juice from the pulp. Food must be cut into small pieces in order to go into the masticating juicer. This requires more preparation time.

A centrifugal juicer is fast and can extract the juice from your fruits within a matter of minutes. A cutting blade shreds your fruits or vegetables into small pieces, while the chamber spins at a high speed to separate the juice from the fiber in a mesh chamber. This occurs because the disk inside the chamber operates at speeds of 6,000 to 14,000 rounds per minute (RPM) or more. To achieve this speed, the juicer needs a strong motor, in the range of 700 watts or more. However, the motor’s speed could make this a loud device when in operation.

Unlike the other two types of juicers, which can be used for most types of fruits and vegetables, a citrus juicer is only used for citrus fruits. This would include lemons, oranges, tangerines, limes, grapefruit and others. Citrus juicers come in both hand-operated and electric versions.
