Juicer Buying Guide

There are many different types of juicers available on the market, so choosing one that best suits your needs may seem confusing.  Most juicers will work fine for a variety of different fruits and vegetables.  However, some juicers will not work as well for wheatgrasses and leafy greens.  Regardless of the type of juicer, they all basically have the same goal.  That is to release vital nutrients, vitamins and enzymes into your juice.   The following explanation should help you to determine what juicer is best for you and your needs.

There are generally 3 different categories of juicers.

1. Centrifugal:Centrifugal juicers are the most common type of juicer.  These juicers work by finely grating fruits and vegetables into very small pieces and then pushing them up against a very fine mesh screen at high RPM.  The centrifugal force extracts the juice from the pulp.  They work very well for most fruits and vegetables, but are not suitable for juicing wheatgrass & leafy greens.

*Omega 4000: Highest quality professional pulp ejection centrifugal juicer.

the counter than the Omega 9000 but the design of the screen

2. Singe Gear Masticating:  Single gear masticating juicers have an auger gear that chews the fruit and vegetable fibers to release the juice.  They are more efficient machines than the centrifugal juicers because they tend to extract more juice from the same amount of raw fruits and vegetables.  Additionally, because they operate at lower RPM's they generate less heat and therefore do a better job of retaining more of the vitamins and enzymes.  The single gear juicers do a great job with wheatgrass and leafy greens.  These are also very versatile machines because they can be used to create sauces, nut butters, baby food, pastas, ice cream, soups and sorbets.

*Omega 8003/8005- the best single gear juicer available, highest yield for a

3. Twin Gear:  Twin gear juicers are by far the most superior and as a result are also the most expensive.  These juicers are more efficient at delivering higher volumes of juice from fruits, vegetables, wheatgrass, leafy greens and herbs.  And because they operate at a much lower speed (low RPM), they produce much less heat and foam then the other types of juicers.  This means that the vital nutrients and enzymes are retained in your juice as much as possible and are not destroyed by heat or oxidation.


These juicers have interlocking stainless steel twin gears that grind fruit and vegetable fibers to release the largest percentage of juice.  They also work very well for making nut butters, deserts, soups fruit sorbets and baby foods.


It is important to note that twin gear juicers do not do soft fruits very well.   They are really designed for vegetables and higher density type fruits.  If you are interested in mainly juicing apples these may not be the juicers for you.  

*Kempo GPT-E1303- very versatile twin gear juicer, easy to 
clean/use, excellent yield with minimal foam.

*Super Angel 3500- all stainless steel construction including solid, surgical-grade stainless steel twin gears.  The Super Angel features a two-stage twin gear system for very efficient juice extraction. Stage one: applies concentrated pressure to the fruit or vegetable. Stage two: crushes and continuously grinds the fruit or vegetables creating very dry pulp and as a result - more juice.   You will find that The Super Angel Juicer will more than repay itself both in the quantity of juice extracted (three times more juice in many cases) and in its mineral quality which can nearly double that from the more traditional juicers.
