| Author | Topic: Juice extractor |
| MxPx 10-06-2002 02:28 PM | Since blending fruits cause acne, i'm thinking about getting a juicer. Do they work good and how much r they??? |
| Wai 10-06-2002 02:45 PM | They work perfectly, and you can buy them in different price classes. Maybe you should do a search on the web. Look for "juice extractor". Please let us all know, okay? |
| MxPx 10-06-2002 03:33 PM | man..i didn't think juicers where that expensive. The cheapest one i could find is 200. There is some that cost 500. That is too much for me. I will see if my mom will buy one |
| Scott 10-06-2002 04:33 PM | If you go to Amazon.com you can find a wide range of new and used juice extractors, including several for under $80.00, like the Braun MP80 and the Waring JEX328, which both look good. (I actually just bought a Waring JEX328 from Amazon, which has a list price of $150, used for $70.) The link below should take you to a list of the juicers available at Amazon: Amazon - Juice Extractor Search There are also sites that offer comprehensive guides to buying juicers: Juicer Buying Guide and Before You Buy a Juice Extractor |

| bk 10-14-2002 05:01 PM | Are the automatic extractors recommended, or are the manual press type ones alright too (for citrus fruits only)? Thanks! |
| Wai 10-15-2002 12:11 PM | Both are okay! (extractors and presses) |
| Scott 11-30-2002 01:03 PM | quote:I think the updated answer to this question is that manual or hydraulic presses are generally to be preferred for the purposes of this diet (at least for oranges). The presses do less damage to the integrity of the juice, and so the juice stays fresher much longer. Unfortunately, presses are not as versatile as some of the other extractors, because presses are only used for citrus fruits. Every juicer design has its pros and cons. Centrifugal juicers, such as the one I bought, use a spinning metal basket with small blades. The advantage is that these juicers tend to be inexpensive and easy to clean. They are fairly efficient in terms of juice yield, but I've heard conflicting accounts as to how much of the fruit's nutrients are discarded with the pulp. Importantly: with the centrifugal design, the juice must be consumed immediately after juicing or it will begin to degenerate. (See my complaints of bitterness in this thread.) As the name implies, mastication juicers grind and chew fruits. They can be used for basically any fruit, including citrus. In terms of preserving the nutrional value of the fruit, these are generally preferable to the centrifugal design. Also, mastication juicers do not oxidate juice in the way that centrifugal juicers do, so the juice should stay fresher for much longer. The downside is that mastication juicers tend to be expensive and difficult to clean. Furthermore, there are a couple of juicers on the market that are combination mastication & press. These are very expensive and time-consuming to use, but supposedly yield the highest quality/longest lasting juice. Finally, from what I've read, juicers that employ an ejection chute mechanism should be avoided. Sorry to write so much. Hopefully this information will be of use to someone. |

| preciousone 06-20-2003 04:10 PM | i have heard that samson juicers are the best (low speed retains enzymes, removes pesticides, etc) is there another that you can suggest? |
| RRM 06-20-2003 04:13 PM | We don't recommend a specific brand, but if it is a blender / mixer, you cannot use it while on the sample diet; only juice extractors, that work with cuntrifugal extraction. RRM |
