Review
of Juicers Available in the UK
Many
people are aware of the benefits of juicing and take
it up with the intention of changing their lifestyle
to incorporate this highly beneficial source of
fruit and vegetables. However the truth is that few
people continue for more than a few weeks. This is
mainly due to the fact that prepping can be
tiresome, and washing a bore.
Here is a
review of some of the best Juicers available in the
UK which may help you decide on the best juicer for
you and also help you continue to Juice for a
healthy life.
Most
domestic juicers work on two principles: centrifugal
and masticating. Centrifugal juicers feed chopped-up
fruit and veg through a chute onto a spinning,
perforated basket, which grates the fruit.
Masticating juicers `chew'. This produces a higher
nutritional content. The process incorporates less
oxygen resulting in a longer shelf life, although
all juices should be drunk soon after they're made.
Magimix
Le Duo Plus
This is both a juicer and a citrus press. It is
sturdy and, considering it has a 250W
commercial-grade motor, surprisingly quiet. The
large basket means you can make lots of juice and is
extremely easy to clean. Just clean around the
basket with the
special spatula, a quick rinse and it's done. It
comes with an attachment for small and large citrus
fruit as well as a coulis maker for soft fruit.
There is also a great little recipe book with lots
of ideas for drinks and desserts. It is available in
satin steel and currently retails for £149.99.
Champion 2000+
If you are a serious
juicer and looking for a machine to cope with your demands this
is a great masticating machine with a heavy duty motor. Its
generous feed tube takes larger pieces which cuts down on the
amount of preparation required. Also produces fruit sauces,
smoothies, purees and nut butters. It is available in white,
grey, cream and black and retails for around £249.
L'Equip 110.5 Mini
