To enjoy juices from fresh fruits and vegetables at home, especially if you follow a healthy diet, you need a good juicer. Choose one taking into account your needs and the technical characteristics that will provide you with the vitamins and nutrients you need daily!

Centrifugal Juicers

In centrifugal juicers, fruits and/or vegetables are placed in the feeding chute and thanks to the rotating blade inside the chamber, they are chopped and pulverized, extracting the juice through centrifugal force.

One of their advantages is that the high speed at which the blade system operates to separate the juice from the solids of the fruits and vegetables, saves time. Therefore, it is a better choice for a large family that needs larger quantities or if you don't have much time available. Additionally, there is no need to chop the fruits and vegetables, unlike a slow masticating juicer.

As for the disadvantages, they yield less juice per fruit or vegetable and more pulp (which some people actually prefer) and they are noisier due to their operating speed.

Slow Juicers

Slow juicers, available at Skoutz, have vertical or horizontal screws that crush and squeeze the ingredients at a low speed. They have two outlets, one for the dry pulp and another for the juice.

Among their advantages, they yield more juice from fruits and vegetables, retain their natural nutrients to a greater extent, and prevent oxidation. Additionally, the juices are more flavorful as they are more homogeneous. They also operate quietly due to their slow speed.

As for the disadvantages, some people find that juicing takes longer compared to centrifugal juicers, and many fruits or vegetables need to be cut into small pieces. If you have limited time, you may consider choosing a centrifugal juicer instead.

Other features to consider:

• Power: The more powerful the motor, the faster you will enjoy your juice. It also ensures continuous operation and prevents overheating.
• Juice container capacity: For a large family, it is useful information about the amount of juice that the juicer can provide.
• Pulp container capacity: The large capacity allows you to prepare juices and smoothies without having to empty it to continue.
• Dishwasher-safe parts: It is important if you use it frequently, to be easily and quickly cleaned.
• Large feeding chute: The larger it is, the larger pieces of fruits and vegetables it can accommodate, so there is no need to chop them into small pieces.
• Rotation speeds: More than one is better for harder fruits and vegetables.
• Anti-drip system: Protection against dripping to ensure that the pressed juice remains in the bowl.
• Reverse rotation function: Ensures smooth operation in case it gets stuck by a large piece.
• Non-slip base: Ensures that the juicer stays in place during operation.
• Stainless steel blades: For longer durability and better juicing results.
• Safe operation or locking system: Ensures that the device is activated only when all components are properly assembled.
• Automatic shut-off: In case of overheating.
