If you drink a lot of juice or you would like to drink more juice, you can ensure freshness by purchasing a home electric juicer for your kitchen. There are several different styles of juices, some of which rely on centrifugal force to extract the juice. Other styles use pressure. There are juicers that use a combination of the two. The style of juicer can affect such features as how easy it is to clean and how much preparation needs to be done on the food before it can be fed into the hopper.

A powerful motor is an important element in any juicer. A 1,000 watt motor is likely to give you the ability to process fruit and vegetables more easily. Smaller machines will do the job, but they may strain the capabilities and will wear out more quickly. A motor that has more than one speed will help you to match the lower speed to handle soft fruits while the higher speed can process harder foods such as carrots or beets.

Because hoppers for the juicer come in different sizes, you probably want the largest hopper so that you can place larger chunks of food into the machine. Wasting time dicing foods so that it will fit in a small hopper is unsatisfactory. A three-inch hopper means that you will have minimal food prep time before processing the juice.

Another part of the juicer where size matters is the residue or pulp bin. A juicer that is inefficient so that the bin fills up rapidly is not as enjoyable to use as one that extracts the most juice from each piece of fruit, The bin can also be too small to hold much in the way of peeling and pulp. This would also necessitate stopping the processing to empty the juicer pulp bin more frequently.

The juicer should be able to handle both soft and hard foods. You should be able to juice fruit such as oranges and lemons. You also want the juicer to handle beets and carrots. This is in part a result of the two speed motor or a variable speed. Many juicers don't do as well with very soft leafy vegetables such as lettuce or wheat grass.

The Internet provides a wide range of choices for electric juicers. Not every juicer is available worldwide. Do the necessary research to determine the reputation of the manufacturer. You should also check user review to determine how they describe a model of juicer. True user reviews usually give you a better idea about both the weak and strong points of the model. The overall size of the machine is an issue for some people.

Cleaning the juicer is another process that can require a lengthy period of time when you finish a batch of juice. A sieve or screen can hold pulp that needs to be manually removed during cleanup. Look for a product that can be easily placed into the dishwasher. Scraping the pulp from a screen can be an annoying way to spend a half hour each time you finish using the juicer.

Look for an electric juicer that can cut your preparation time down. You should find a juicer that is very easy to clean. A parts warranty on the equipment is another must.
