Freshly squeezed vitamin supply: juicer put to the test

Freshly squeezed juice is delicious and healthy, but with the exception of citrus fruits, it is difficult to prepare yourself.

In order to be able to enjoy the homemade juice experience faster and easier, juicers are ideal.

Without sugar and preservatives, fruit juices can almost only be obtained by making them yourself.

But this requires a juicer for most types of juice.

There are basically two types of models: slow juicers and centrifuge devices.

In devices with a centrifuge, a sharp grater, surrounded by a sieve, rotates.

The ingredients are chopped up, thrown against the sieve by the rotation and thus squeezed out.

The juice ends up in one container, the solid components in another.

Slow juicers make the juice by crushing ingredients.

The press screws can be vertical or horizontal and here too, solid components end up in one pulp container and the juice in another.

Juicing is faster with a centrifuge, but with slow juicers it is more gentle on the food and there is more fiber and less oxygen in the juice result.

This means that the quality of the juice in slow juicers is slightly better.

The juice from the centrifuge has a frothy and a clear portion, from the slow juicer it is more even.

However, many devices have a foam separator.

The volume varies depending on the device, but slow juicers tend to be quieter.

With hard ingredients, however, they are all loud up to 100 decibels.

Slow juicers can be used to prepare soft and fibrous ingredients, while centrifuges can be used to prepare harder ingredients.

The size and shape of the funnel also differs for the respective devices, with slow juicers it is usually much smaller.

Juicer under test

The test portal AllesBeste tested 27 juicers.

The most convincing was the Braun J700 Multiquick 7. Even if slow juicers have an advantage here, you get a lot of juice with the centrifuge device.

It can be easily disassembled and assembled, and even apples fit into the feed chute.

Cleaning is tedious in some corners, but there is a 2-in-1 brush for that.

This model also had the largest juice container in the test.

The Kenwood Pure Juice Pro JMP800SI was also a positive surprise.

It is one of the slow juicers with a filling flap.

The ingredients will be introduced gradually so that the juicer will not clog as quickly.

A lot of juice can be obtained from the filled fruit and vegetables.

A brush is included for cleaning.
