Juice container
The volume of the built-in or freestanding juice tank (see Juice capacity). It is usually in the range from 0.2 to 2 liters. Doing more volumes, usually, does not make sense — freshly squeezed juice is considered the most useful, and it quickly loses its properties. Therefore, the best option is to prepare small portions of juice
up to 1 liter, with the expectation that you can drink it right away. On the other hand, for the preparation of canned juices,
a tank volume of 1.5 – 2 liters is usually quite enough.
Pulp container
The volume of the tank for the oil cake (pressed pulp) installed in the juicer.
While most models with a pulp tank come equipped with an automatic pulp ejection function (see "Functions"), there are some exceptions. Nevertheless, the size of the tank directly affects the duration for which the juicer can be used without having to empty the oil cake residue. However, an increase in capacity significantly impacts the device's dimensions, weight, and cost.
Modern juicers are designed with oil cake containers ranging from 200-500 mL in the most compact models to 3 liters or more in larger ones. The specific capacity is usually chosen by designers based on the unit's total power and performance. However, models with similar performance characteristics may differ in their oil cake container volume. When selecting a juicer, it's important to consider the intended use of the device. For occasional home use, a smaller container may suffice, but for a cafe or bar where freshly squeezed juices are prepared regularly, a larger capacity juicer may be the better option.
Power
The power of the juicer depends on its type. For example, the power of citrus juicers rarely exceeds 40 W, since the structure of citrus fruits is easily destroyed and does not require serious effort to extract juice.
The power of centrifugal juicers can even exceed 1000 W. The centrifugal speed and spin features depend on the power of the centrifugal juicer (for more details, see Number of speeds)
Max. revolutions
The maximum rotation speed of the working tool is centrifuges in juicers, conical nozzles in citrus juicers. The higher the maximum speed, the more solid products can be processed in the device (this applies primarily to centrifugal juicers). At the same time, for soft products, a high rotation speed is not always suitable, as it leads to the ingress of an excessive amount of pulp into the juice. The perfect option is to have a speed control in the juicer (see Number of speeds).
Reverse
The ability to rotate the working tool of the juicer alternately in different directions. It is believed that this provides a better spin quality than during rotating in one direction; in addition, the
reverse can be useful in case of jamming of the nozzle. It is found mainly in models of auger design, as well as in devices for citrus fruits (see "Type").
Round neck
The round shape of the neck for loading products allows you to load small fruits into the device without cutting them. Round neck juicers have appeared recently; before that, necks were usually made oval, and products for processing most often had to be cut.
