Breville Juicer Models : Spoiled For Choice
Celery tastes good in both its juice form and also as part of a smoothie. You could increase the nutritional content of the juice by mixing celery juice with other fresh produce. Adding fruits makes it sweeter and if you don't want that you can drink it as part of other vegetable juices. Drink it every day and experience higher levels of energy and alertness.
How to extract celery juice to retain maximum nutrition?
If a Breville juicer gets jammed with celery, the reverse function that some masticating juicers have help untangle the machine. With a centrifugal juicer you can extract juice by cutting it in to smaller bits. Feed it through the tube and enjoy the juice in a few short seconds.
The juice extracted through the masticating process retains most nutrition while in the centrifugal juicing process some of the nutrition is lost to heat and oxidation due to the method of juicing.
If your juice will eventually be used in some form of cooking or baking there is no point in buying expensive slow juicers. If you are looking for less work, less hassle when juicing and don't mind some loss of nutrition then just buy yourself a fast-centrifugal juicer.
If nutrition is of utmost importance, and the only reason why you are looking for juicers at all, then choose types that offer to retain maximum nutrition like the masticating cold press juicers.
Centrifugal juicers spin at high speeds of several thousand rotations per minute to cut through fresh produce and separating the juice from pulp due to the centrifugal force.
But the high-speed spinning also causes heating and oxidation which leads some amount of nutrition loss. So, the cold press juicer is better in terms of nutrition extraction and retention.
Should you get a centrifugal juicer or a cold press slow juicer? While one offers convenience the other offers quality.
Comparing juice yields shows that the masticating slow juicer produces large amounts of greens juice which is comparable with other expensive models of juicers.
It also makes reasonable amounts of juice from hard produce like apples and pears. But with soft produce the juice yield is not that great.
It is versatile and makes baby food too. The large pulp bin helps in juicing without stopping to empty the pulp.

Best Juicers - What to Choose?
The power of the juicer's motor impacts how effective and durable it is. When you look at juicer specs, look for a figure of around 200 watts. That will indicate a good engine for this kind of kitchen appliance.
The slower a juicer is, the less it will heat or oxidize the juice. Check the rate of rotations per minute on the juicer model you are interested in. The ideal speed is 40 to 80 RPM.
If the space in your kitchen is at a premium, a vertical juicer might be best. You want a juicer that ís stable, but not so heavy that it is hard to move.
What is the best juicer for celery? If you want the maximum nutrition with minimal loss to oxidation and heating the best bet for juicing celery is a twin-gear juicer also, known as triturating stainless steel juicer.
But on the downside, you will be spending twice as much money on the juicer. The price of twin-gear triturating juicer is higher compared to any other type of juicer.
Also assembling them and using them might seem daunting to a newbie juicer. If you are just starting in the world of juicing, you might be better off with a less complicated and less pricey juicer that you will actually use.
As the speed is rather slow there is no oxidation or heating of the juice happening when juicing with a masticating juicer.
Heating, agitation of juice and oxidation are some of the problems of juicing with fast juicers. But a slow juicer does not cause either heating or agitation to cause the destruction of nutrients in the extracted juice.
It retains most of the nutrients - vitamins, minerals and heat sensitive enzymes. Also, this slow nature of juicing results in longer shelf life for the juice without loss of flavors noted with fast juicers.
The Amzchef slow juicer is made from BPA-free plastics. So, there's no need to worry that harmful plastics will leach into juice. Also, all parts are coated with Tritan that prevents oxidation or corrosion.
The masticating juicer comes with a 2-year warranty showing the complete confidence of the makers in their product.
It is slightly heavy to handle, and some foaming was noticed in the juice. Also, the narrow feed tube is a little annoying because of all the chopping you need to do.
A masticating juicer is very quiet while juicing as the noise level is less than 60 dB sound. At that level of noise even sleeping babies will not be disturbed. The reverse operation button will help in untangling and unclogging the juicer.
It also helps in cleaning it up as you can use water to flush out clogged produce. Almost all parts except the mesh screen is dishwasher safe. It is easy to assemble, pull-apart and operate for juicing as the number of parts are few.
