Juicers

And a little bit about juicers that I learned.
I was really toggeling between two juicers - one that cost about $100 & one that cost about $350... I knew there was a reason that I wanted the more expensive model but I couldn't put my finger on it until today, which is why I kept putting off hitting that buy button.
What I realized, for me, was that I was comparing apples & bananas.
The less expensive juicer probably would have been fine & I know a person or two who love theirs. However, it's a centrifugal juicer that spins the fruit/veg at a high rate of speed and this can heat the juice as it does so. Now there are tons of raw foody people that probably have a juicer like this and are fine with it & I'm sure it makes great juice because my friend tells me it does. :) However, I, personally, wasn't okay with the heating thing {my friend that has this juicer isn't a raw foody}... so I chose the more $ model - it's an auger/squisher model {also called a slow juicer}... this one to be precise. Here's another link - they are often backordered so it's good to have options & pricing is always the same. I only wish it were in black to match my other appliances. lol.

Now, the moral of this is that if you are in the market for a juicer... do some research. There are several kinds... some are quiet, some not so much. Some are easy to clean, some not. Usually there are videos some place so you can see the machine in action. Figure out what you need and go with it. :)
Happy juicing!

Oh, and if you'd like to check out juicers on Amazon there's a cute little search box just over to your right... If you end up purchasing anything at all at Amazon I earn a tiny %. Doesn't cost you anything extra & I really appreciate it! Thanks!
