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.

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)

Number of speeds

The number of speeds of the juicer. The optimal working speeds for different fruits are different: for example, soft fruits and vegetables need to be pressed at low speeds, solid ones (for example, carrots) — at maximum. In addition, the amount of pulp in the juice depends on the extraction speed: at high speeds it is more, at low speeds the juice is light.

The number of speeds provided by the design of the juicer can vary from 1 to 9. The more speeds, the easier it is to choose the optimal mode for each specific case.

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").

Loading opening width

The width of the opening for loading products into the centrifugal juicer. You should pay attention to this parameter if you plan to get juice from large fruits such as apples or pears — if the opening is less than 70 mm wide, the fruits will most likely have to be cut into pieces.

Body material

The body of a modern juicer is most often made of plastic or steel. Plastic juicers tend to weigh less and cost less; in turn, metal ones are more durable and look “more respectably”. The body material usually does not affect the functionality of the device.

Sorbet nozzle

A supplementary attachment specifically created for producing sorbet, which is a cold treat made from ice or frozen fruit and berry puree. It's important not to mistake sorbet for sherbet, which is a type of frozen dessert.

Nowadays, sorbet nozzles are mainly found in auger juicers (see "Type"), and are designed to grind frozen fruits and berries into a puree. Unlike traditional juicing, the pulp (cake) is not separated from the juice, resulting in almost the same amount of product output as input, but with a different consistency.

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.
