Alright!
This is John Kohler with discountjuicers.com today we have another exciting episode for
you, this one’s going to be pretty fun and hopefully pretty short at that, what we’re
going to do in this episode is answer a question that I often get, “John, what’s your favorite
juicer?”
Well to me, having a favorite juicer is like having a lady out there trying to say your
favorite pair of shoes that you own.
Most of you ladies out there own probably more than one pair of shoes, probably maybe
a dozen pairs of shoes, I don’t know, and can you pick out one favorite?
I mean you’ve got different ones for different occasions, and if you’re a guy out there
you might not relate to the shoe thing but you’ll relate to this one – you’ll relate
to the car thing, I mean when I was growing up, I had multiple different cars, I had the
sports car I had a truck for hauling stuff around, I had a 4x4, and guys are just kind
of like that, you’ve got a different car for every different little thing you’re
going to do, or sometimes you feel like driving one car and not the other, just like if you’re
a lady and you’ve got to put on a pair of shoes for this or that, right?
I’m kind of like that with juicers, so it’s hard for me just say “This juicer’s my
favorite juicer in the whole world.”
I couldn’t say that, but what I can say at this point in time, so when I’m making
this video right now based on all the juicers on the market, these I can say are definitely
my top four favorite juicers, and these are the ones I use on a regular basis.
I own over 20 juicers actually sitting on a shelf, and these are the ones that remain
on the counter that get used absolutely the most here.
So based on my needs and what I’m juicing, these are my favorite ones.
That’s not to say that you should buy one of these ones right?
Maybe you have different needs than I have, and that’s fine, everybody has different
needs, like some people have different needs for vehicles or cars and some people have
different needs for shoes right?
And same thing with juicers.
You might have different needs than me and that’s all right, be sure to check my other
videos where I go into detail on comparing all the different juicers out there in the
world so that you can determine the best one for you.
If you really need some guidance then you may want to pay attention to this video and
learn why I like each of these machines and you may end up with one or two of them yourself.
In any case with that, let’s get started.
Over on this side we’ve got the Olympus Commercial Citrus Press.
So this juicer sits on my counter, it does not move out of its place all year long.
No matter what time of year it is, it always is getting used several times a week for sure.
Actually right before I made this video I juiced 24 ounces of oranges in here so I could
be energized for this video for you guys.
Now besides just juicing the standard oranges it’ll also juice smaller grapefruits, I
love juicing the cocktail grapefruits, it’ll juice lemons and limes, I love making a dressing
out of fresh squeezed lemon juice with some tahini, some miso, and a little bit of garlic
blended up that’s so delicious, and the Olympus allows me to do that.
Now this is my favorite citrus juicer, and you know they’ve got those electric ones
I’m not a big fan of those, because it takes electricity and it just doesn’t work well
and there’s a lot of parts to clean.
I like this one because it’s manual hand crank, literally you get some exercise every
time you use it.
And I like this juicer here because it literally has only two parts to clean.
It’s got the little cone and the funnel piece, super simple super easy, this is the
easiest juicer in the whole world to juice, and besides just juicing all citrus including
lemons, limes, oranges, tangerines, grapefruits, smaller ones of course, if you get nice large
grapefruits you may have to cut them into quarters and then put a quarter segment in
at a time, and I do have a video on this, explaining how to use it properly if you need
help on doing that.
It’ll also juice pomegranates.
I love pomegranates, pomegranates are rich in antioxidants, and they’re really healthy
for us, and this is the juicer that is easiest in the world to juice pomegranates.
You cut the pomegranate in half, put it all in there, press this baby down, you squeeze
out all the juice.
One of my favorite juices is actually fresh-squeezed orange juice with a pomegranate.
So yeah, the Olympus Commercial Citrus Press, this is NSF approved for commercial use if
you have a juice bar, a bar, or a restaurant.
Alright next we’re going to get into these guys, which are the fruit and vegetable juicers.
So they’ll let you juice more than just the citrus and the pomegranates, these will
juice mostly everything under the sun, although some will do it better than others, and that’s
why these are my favorites.
Each one works a little bit differently, and I have certain juicers for certain needs.
Depending on what I’m juicing I’m going to choose a juicer that’s best going to
meet my needs, and I’m lucky I have a few juicers.
If you don’t you may want to get the juicer that’s best going to meet your needs most
of the time, because in most cases there may not be one juicer that’s going to do everything
for you, and that’s just how the way it is, and that’s why I make all these videos
so you guys can determine the best juicer for you.
So let’s start here, the Omega NC 800, that stands for Nutrition Center.
So besides just being a juicer it’ll allow you to do things like process bananas into
frozen banana sorbets so now you can eat frozen bananas instead of ice cream so that you can
lose weight, have more energy and get healthier and stay away from all the GMO corn syrups
and all those additives in the ice creams that they’re putting these days, it’ll
also allow you to grind nut into nut butters, it’ll allow you to grind your own coffee
beans, I’ve made things like coconut crème in this juicer with the blank plate installed,
so that’s really cool.
And actually all these machines to some extent will allow you to do some other processing
besides just making juice if you’re wanting to make healthy lifestyle choices.
So let’s talk about the juicing in the Omega NC 800.
This is called a single auger horizontal juicer, and that’s because the auger in here is
running horizontally.
So this style machine is hands-down best for juicing leafy greens, if you said “John,
I want to juice only leafy greens,” I would say “Forget everything else on the table,
this is your baby.”
Now on the other hand if you said “John, I only want to juice fruits, should I get
the NC 800?”
I would say “No.”
This juicer while it will juice fruits fine when you’re juicing with vegetables but
if you’re juicing only fruits alone, this is definitely not the best juicer on the table,
I’ll talk about that one in a second.
But this one’s really efficient at juicing leafy greens, it’s also very good at juicing
the hard vegetables, and that’s what I like about it.
Some of the cons is actually it has a smaller feed chute compared to some of the other units,
although this is the largest feed chute on any horizontal single auger style machine
at this time.
In addition, based on my testing, this horizontal single auger machine, the Omega NC 800 makes
the highest yield of any horizontal single auger juicer I’ve tested at this time as
well.
So after the Omega NC 800 once again primarily for greens and hard vegetables, works well,
gets a really dry pulp, and does a great job, we’re going to go over to this guy, the
Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer.
Now this guy is the juicer you want to buy if you want to juice a lot of fruit.
If you’re going to make straight fruit juices, only juicing cantaloupe, only juicing honeydew
melon, only juicing water melon, only juicing some oranges and some apples and whatnot,
you know, this juicer does great at juicing fruits.
Now it will also juice other things as will this one, but it just doesn’t quite work
as well as some of the other machines on the table.
So this machine will also do great with juicing hard vegetables and also leafy greens, although
I kind of like the next one if I’m going to do more mixed juices, right?
So what I will say is this juicer is easier to clean and as you guys can see these guys
are lined up in order of cleaning.
Because one of the most important factors to me on juicers is cleaning, because I got
a lot of stuff to do, I’m a busy guy, and if a juicer’s too hard to clean, I’m not
going to use it.
So this is the easiest, next easiest, next easiest and next easiest.
So I like that this is the next easiest and basically they give you three different cleaning
brushes to clean the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer.
In addition if you’re new to the juicing lifestyle and making healthy changes, I really
like that the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer includes a 100 page recipe book, full color, with a
lot of different recipes to get you started on leading a healthier lifestyle today.
In addition it has a feature that none of the other machines have, this has the largest
feed chute size.
This is three inches in diameter, so this means minimal cutting, especially on your
fruits, although I do recommend on the vegetables like leafy green vegetables you still need
to chop those up for best results so that it does not jam.
If you’re interested to see how the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer does on leafy greens, be
sure to check my video, I have a video on juicing leaves and greens with the Kuvings
Whole Slow Juicer.
So that’s why I like this one.
Many times I’m lazy, I don’t want to cut the produce up, and I’ll just use this guy
because it has a nice wide feed chute and cleaning is a little bit easier than actually
the next one.
Now this one also comes with a blank plate that allows you to make frozen fruit sorbets
and nut butters.
So that’s why I like this guy, large feed chute, easy to use, easy to clean, comes with
a recipe book that may benefit many of you guys.
Now onto this last guy, this is the Slowstar Juicer by Tribest, and this guy is another
vertical single auger juicer such as is the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer.
Now, I like this one because in my tests this has yielded a little bit more than the Kuvings
Whole Slow Juicer.
Also, besides just allowing you to make the frozen fruit sorbets and nut butters, this
has a whole separate attachment that allows you to process other things, like if you want
to grind up coffee, if you want to make sauerkraut out of your cabbage, if you want to make salsa
out of tomatoes and other things, you could run it through the machine with the mincing
attachment.
Also this machine costs less than the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer.
And also I find that the Slow Star Juicer makes a little bit less pulp in the juice.
All these juicers will make pulp in the juice, and only the Slow Star comes with an additional
strainer so if you do want to strain out your juice, you won’t need to buy a strainer
on any of these machines.
Drinking pulp is not really an issue it’s more of a texture thing, some people just
don’t particularly care for it, so I like that the Slow Star generally makes a more
pulp-free juice than the other machines on the table.
In addition, in my tests the Slow Star makes the highest yield on leafy green vegetable
juices, and it does really well when juicing leafy greens and hard vegetables and also
does a really good job at fruit.
So it’s a really well-balanced machine, and that’s pretty much why I like the Slow
Star.
So hopefully you guys enjoyed this episode learning about my top four favorite juicers
in the world at the present time.
This video didn’t really get into a lot of detail about them particularly, but just
shared them with you and shared with you quickly why I like them all.
And if you’re interested in learning more about each of these different juicers, or
even seeing my famous juice-off comparison test where I pit one juicer against another
one to see which one will yield more when juicing certain produce items, it’ll go
into a lot more detail in comparing these side by side so that you can determine which
one may be the best one for you.
But rest assured, no matter which one of these guys you choose, I’m sure you’re going
to love it, and you’re going to be able to start making more juice to get healthier
today, because these are the ones out of all the juicers on the market at the present time
that I absolutely love the most that allow me to keep juicing my fresh fruits and vegetables
so that I can get healthier and keep making these videos for you guys.
