A Juicing Powerhorse
When it comes to juicing, the Omega J8226 is hard to beat in terms of performance. Obviously, this model is not cheap, but once you try it in action, you'll know that it's a worthwhile investment. So, if you're serious about drinking freshly squeezed juices, this juicer is what you need.
First and foremost, the quality of the Omega J8226 is outstanding. The machine comes complete in solid construction with a durable auger and a commercial-grade motor. Plus, it's backed up by a long 15-year manufacturer warranty, so you can be sure it will serve you for many years to come.
It is interesting that at a glance this juicer looks like a fairly simple appliance. However, don't let its appearance fool you. Even though the Omega J8226 has no gimmicky frills, it does a fantastic job of extracting juice. It is not only faster than many of its rivals, but also it will hold strong to whatever produce you throw at it, perfectly squeezing juice out of the most troublesome ingredients, such as pineapple, coconut, ginger, broccoli, fennel, asparagus, carrot, beetroot, citrus, leafy green, you name it. You can even make almond and soy milk using it.
As far as maintenance goes, the machine is no slouch, either. It easily disassembles to dishwasher-safe parts, saving you the need to scrape and rub off dried or stuck food remnants after each use.
For Maximum Value Extraction
Turning to the juicer's operation, the Omega J8226 incorporates a dual-stage masticating system. This means it first crushes the produce with an auger, thoroughly breaking it through, and then presses it against the metal screen. As a result, you get more juice and less waste. Speaking of, the pulp can be processed several times until you strain it to the last drop.
Another highlight of the Omega J8226 is that it uses cold-press technology. Thanks to this technology, the machine squeezes juice slowly, keeping the produce from heating up. This ensures that all vital nutrients, enzymes and essential vitamins stay intact and get right into your glass. Besides, it also minimises oxidation and greatly extends the shelf life of your juice (juice can be stored for up to 72 hours).
To rephrase, the Omega J8226 is a dependable, mighty and highly efficient electric juicer that will let you extract the maximum value from fruit and veg and serve you for quite a while. Though rather expensive, it's the case when the model's performance makes it well worth it.

A Versatile Nutrition Center
Added functions are something we're all used to when buying kitchen appliances, and the Omega CN80S hasn't become an exception to that rule. Even though this model is designed to perform the function of juicing first and foremost, it can also substitute for several other appliances, saving you the need to buy them additionally. Let's take a closer look at its features.
To start with the juicing option, the unit uses cold-press technology, meaning it can strain the most out of the produce, pulling maximum juice out of fruit or/and veg and extracting their maximum value. Thus, you can rest assured you'll get smooth and tasty juice packed with all essential nutrients and vitamins we seek to get from fresh produce.
As far as other functions are concerned, the machine comes complete with a whole set of accessory attachments that can turn this juicer into a food processor, homogenizer, grinder, and even a pasta maker. Five differently shaped and sized nozzles along with a homogenizer cone that you get in the box will let you try your hand at extruding homemade pasta, grinding coffee beans, mincing spices, as well as making soy/nut milk, butter, and baby food for your little one.
These amazing food processing capabilities put this machine in a row with multifunctional food processors all avid cooks rave about. And dishwasher-safe parts for quick and no-hassle cleaning make this Omega juicer yet more attractive for those who like cooking and want to make it in an easier way.
Sturdy and Mighty Machine
As functional and capable as it is, the Omega CN80S is also a solidly built and mighty machine that will serve you for quite a while. Just a 15-year warranty alone makes it a worthy investment and for a good reason. While all moving parts are made of rugged stainless steel, all components contacting foods are made of robust premium-quality plastic free from harsh chemicals and not oxidising hen exposed to fruit acids. Besides, a mighty 200-watt motor packs more than enough punch to crush through dense, thick, hard, fibrous, and heavy-texture ingredients without stalls and clogs, not to mention softer and more delicate foods. At the same time, the motor is pretty quiet and doesn’t produce much noise even when processing tough ingredients while hefty suction feet will keep the machine stably in place during operation. To add more, UL- and ETL-approved, the unit is safe and reliable in use.
Summing up, with the Omega CN80S, you’ll get a dependable and mighty machine that offers solid multiple functionalities for a fairly reasonable price.

Updated Design
Masticating juicers operate at lower speeds, and for a good reason. Slow extraction helps to minimise oxidation and preserve nutrients, vitamins and enzymes. Though slow juicers take more time for extracting juice compared to centrifugal ones, they do it more efficiently, allowing you to maximise the yield while getting the best nutritional content.
Luckily, there are some tricks that can help you spend less time making wholesome juices and other healthy treats for you and your family. The Fridja f1900 masticating juicer has an updated design: it is equipped with a tilted feeding chute that effectively prevents fruits and vegetables from getting stuck. Even if clogging occurs, you will be able to quickly solve the problem by using the unit's reverse button.
Moreover, because the feeding chute is 75mm wide, it allows you to process fruit and vegetables without precutting them. Just throw in whole apples, pears, bananas and other produce to get healthy and nutritious goodies. The pulp left after juicing is super dry, which means every drop of the vitamin-rich liquid goes into the jug.
Equipped with a reliable 240-watt motor, the unit can be used for processing leafy greens, celery, ginger, apples, oranges, wheatgrass and other soft and hard fruit and vegetables.
Juice and More
Great for making fruit and vegetable juices, the slow juicer by Fridja can also be used for preparing healthy sorbets and ice creams from frozen fruit and nut butter and milk from your favourite nuts. Along with the juicer, you will get a couple of jugs, a cleaning brush and a sieve. This sieve will come in useful for additional filtration of your juice if you prefer pulp-free beverages.
The vertical masticating juicer by Fridja has a small footprint and needs little storage space. Besides, it is equipped with a comfy carrying handle. Featuring a stylish black stainless steel housing, the appliance is easy to clean after use. The unit has an ergonomic anti-drip tap that will help to keep your countertop clean and tidy. It is also important to mention that the unit is made of high-quality BPA-free materials.
All in all, if you are looking for a slow-masticating juicer that will allow you to make healthy beverages and desserts and will easily handle processing whole and frozen fruits, veggies, greens, roots and nuts, the Fridja f1900 is just what you need.

Excellent Home Juicing Assistant
Trying to enrich their menus with natural enzymes, micronutrients, and minerals, many people eat fruit and veggies to replace fatty and sugary snacks and some even drop into juice bars to have a glass of freshly squeezed juice. Yet, regular visits to a juice bar might add costs to your budget while making your own juice at home is more cost-effective and will let you experiment with ingredients to customize your own blend. Want to make fresh juices at home? Then turn your eyes to a slow juice extractor from ElectrIQ. Masticating juicers are usually more expensive than centrifugal models, yet, the ElectrIQ HSL 600 offers functionality and efficiency you’d expect from this type of juicer at a fairly reasonable price.
A low-speed auger masticating technology used in this model paired with a horizontal design will maximize the juice yield greatly reducing the waste. Besides, this model is a pretty good energy saver too since the unit motor runs with 150 Watts in contrast to 800-Watt motors in centrifugal juice extractors. Spinning at only 80 RPM, the ElectrIQ juicer will create perfectly fresh, rich, and delicious juice without losing any nutrients that is often caused by high-speed juices due to heat build-up and higher oxidation level. A forceful stainless steel auger can handle all kinds of fruit, berries, and veggies, be it soft peaches, apricots, bananas, cherries, plums, strawberries, and tomatoes or hard apples, pears, cucumbers, carrots, beetroot, and cauliflower. As a result, you’ll get concentrated and flavourful juice much thicker than watery juices from other juicers. On top of that, the ElectrIQ is one of the slow juicers that work excellent on leafy greens and wheatgrass. Owing to a horizontal design, it will create less foam saving you the trouble of straining your green juice afterwards, while thanks to a narrower screw, it will squeeze fibrous plants more efficiently allowing you to enjoy the healthy goodness of raw spinach, parsley, celery stems, kale, cilantro, or even aloe and pine needles.
As functional as it is, this masticating juicer is compact fitting any household kitchen, boasts a quiet operation which is also great for home use and is extremely easy to clean that will save your time when cooking breakfast and making a pitcher of orange juice for the family. Though the juicer comes disassembled, the assembly is a real snap and won’t take more than 5 minutes. And the unit will turn on only when everything is assembled correctly as it has a built-in safety lock ensuring you won’t have any accidents.
Soy or Nut Milk? No Problem!
Do you like nut milk and all those flavourful smoothies, cocktails, and desserts made with it? With the ElectrIQ juicer, you’ll be able to make your favourite almond milk at home without a hassle. And it will be all-natural drink rich in proteins and containing no preservatives, large amounts of sugar, or artificial flavours typical of mass-produced almond milk from the store. Just soak raw almonds overnight with some vanilla to intensify the flavour and some dates to replace sugar. Then juice your almonds in the ElectrIQ slow juicer and enjoy a delicate creamy taste of home-made almond milk. In addition, if you are lactose intolerant, you can also use your ElectrIQ machine for making soy milk to replace dairy products containing lactose.
Affordable, efficient, versatile, and easy to use and maintain, the ElectrIQ juicer is by far the best juicing machine for making a whole variety of fresh juices saturated with minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants at home.

Healthy Eating Made Easier
If you want to bring your diet to a new and healthier level, introducing fresh juice to it is the right way to go. And if you want to make juicing a breeze, an electric juicer is the answer. But if you are a beginner user and not sure which model to choose, the Jocuu masticating juicer can be a good starting point.
For starters, this machine is extremely easy to put together. You’ll enjoy a fairly intuitive assembly and get it up and running in just a few minutes even if you’ve never used such juicers before. In case you do have some complications, though, the package comes with a detailed manual where you'll find instructions on how to put each and bit together.
Under the hood, the Jocuu has a 150-watt motor that will speed the juicing auger up to 80 RPM. This speed is high enough to effortlessly process both harder and softer produce and ideal for cold-press juicing technology.
To continue, the whole machine is solidly built and made of top-quality materials, so it will stand strong against extensive daily use without the risk of failures. Durable and damage-proof, all materials contacting food ingredients are food-safe and you can rest assured your fresh juice will be genuinely fresh and natural, with no traces of chemicals or any harmful compounds in it. And once juicing is complete, it will take you mere minutes to disassemble and clean the machine. In addition, all the detachable parts are dishwasher safe and you can make a thorough hygienic clean from time to time.
Smart Juicing Approach
Strongly built, easy to use and clean, and doing a really great job of squeezing juice from different fruit and vegetables, the Jocuu 139 juicer also applies a smart juicing approach to maximise both the final juice yield and the nutrient content. With that, the appliance offers two operation speeds for soft and hard fruits and vegetables accordingly. Thus, the Soft mode is meant for watermelon, melon, peaches, apricots, oranges, celery stalks, cucumbers, grapes, and other less fibrous and more juicy produce. Meanwhile, the Hard mode is good for apples, pears, carrot, beetroot, kale, ginger and other denser and fibrous ingredients. In each speed mode, the settings are optimised to separate the juice and pulp in the most efficient way and minimise the oxidation rate. As a result, you’ll enjoy clear juice rich in vitamins and minerals. Notably, in both operation modes, the level of noise produced by the juicer won’t exceed 60 dB, which is an ear-safe and non-disturbing level.
To cut a long story short, the Jocuu masticating juicer is a beginner-friendly and high-performing juice extractor perfect for home use that will make your healthy diet easier and tastier.

What Is a Masticating Juicer?
With healthy eating being a modern trend, it is not surprising juicing becomes popular too. Why wouldn't it though? Drinking a daily glass of fresh juice is an easy and effective way to supply our body with all necessary minerals, nutrients, and fibres locked in fruit/vegs. Thanks to that, now many people use a juicer at home. However, it's worth pointing out that juicers are all different. What makes masticating juicers so special is that they are effective at handling solid ingredients and fibrous leafy greens and do not create a lot of pulp like most other juicers do, producing delicious, liquidy juice time and again.
The term 'masticating' originates from the Latin verb 'to chew' and means exactly the same thing. What masticating juicers do is they 'chew' fruit and vegetables to extract the maximum amount of juice out of them. Typically, a masticating juicer system includes a crushing or a cutting element that breaks fruit and veggies to release juice and an auger that squeezes juice from the pulp by passing it through the mesh.
Also named slow juicers (or cold press juicers), masticating juice extractors rotate at low speeds, which is why there's no heat to destroy the enzymes and antioxidants. Despite that, though, they perform very well on both soft and hard fruit and vegetables, squeezing high-quality juice that is nutrient-dense and watery with a rich taste. In fact, this type of juicer works great almost on all fruits and vegetables including even plants with low moisture content such as bananas and cauliflower, and soft leafy greens such as spinach or wheatgrass.
If you'd like to read more about juicers, we recommend taking a look at our selection of the best Breville juicers and citrus juicers available.
What Features to Compare
Type
Masticating juicers fall into two major types. These are models with a single auger and those that feature two rotating augers or gears.
- Single auger units are more affordable and work better for lower quantities of fruit and vegetables. Usually, they use the same torque power to juice both soft and tough plants, all of this wearing the system over time and making it prone to malfunctions.
- Meanwhile, dual auger machines, also called “triturating” juicers, can switch to slower speeds when squeezing thicker pulp which reduces motor load and enhances the unit longevity. They produce the highest-quality juice grinding to the finest consistency almost anything you throw inside and can tackle larger juicing loads with ease. The only downside is, these models are quite expensive, with their price tags often going far beyond what people are ready to pay for a domestic juicer device.
Design
Since a juicer is a countertop unit that will inevitably take place on your tabletop, it’s better to check the unit size, especially if your kitchen space is limited. Thus, if a juicer will have a permanent spot on your counter, you can go for larger and heavier units, and if you need a more portable one to be stored on a shelf or in a cabinet, choose more compact juicers with a cord storage.
By design, masticating juicers are divided into vertical and horizontal models depending on the auger position. Looking pretty much like centrifugal juicers, vertical units are more compact and take less storage space. Besides, they feature larger feeder chutes requiring less produce preparation and separate juice faster. Horizontal juicers work slower. However, slow juicing better prevents oxidation ensuring that all vitamins and enzymes remain intact.
Usability
Usability features normally include conveniences and extra options that facilitate the tool or appliance operation, enhance comfort, and even expand functionality. When it comes to masticating juicers, it’s recommended considering models with wider chutes to load the produce without cutting it into smaller pieces. A wider feeder diameter will also add convenience during cleaning. For easy maintenance, most models also feature a disassemblable design even allowing you to wash some parts in a dishwasher. There are masticating juicers that will let you not only juice but also make nut milk, sorbet, sauces, and ice-creams, and they come fitted with different attachments for all those additional functions.
Fresh Juice Health Benefits
There is hardly anyone who doesn’t like juices. Not only can they quench our thirst but also they are delicious, refreshing, and nutritious. Of course, we don’t mean those processed juices from the store that bring little to no benefit to the health. We are speaking about freshly squeezed juices that offer a whole number of invaluable health benefits. Though they are not magic cures for medical conditions, the advantages fresh fruit and veg juices will provide for your health are obvious.
Faster Nutrient Absorption
Statistically, we do not eat enough raw fruit and vegetables that might lead to the lack of plant fibres and antioxidants and free radicals build-up in our body causing serious problems such as increased risk of heart diseases, high blood pressure, and cancer. Drinking fresh juices on a regular basis will help you solve this problem and compensate the lack of fresh fruit and veggies in your menu. Fresh juices are much more easily absorbed by our bodies than whole food and bring the necessary amounts of vital nutrients, fibres, vitamins, and minerals in a more digestible form consumed within 30 minutes.
Better Digestion, Hydration, and Even Detoxification
Most fruit and veg, to say nothing of greens, contain a lot of water. Squeezed into juice, it will help our body produce energy and activate healthy metabolism. Besides, natural water in a fresh juice promotes processing of natural carbohydrates, enzymes, and vitamins from the juice. Meanwhile, plant fibres contained in thick juices made in a masticating juicer greatly improve digestion and will be of great use for people with impaired digestion. One more valuable benefit of fresh juices is a detox option. All fresh fruit contain a small protein glutathione that is successfully transferred into juice as well. This element is essential for our bodies and helps detoxify lead and pesticides. No need to say that processed fruit juices do not contain this protein.
Reduced Calories and Sugar Intake
Though bottled and canned juices look appetizing and taste pretty much like real fruit, they do not provide any real nutritional value. Usually, a processed juice contains less than 50% of a concentrated fruit juice and the remaining 50% is water, a sugar or fructose syrup, flavour intensifiers, and preservatives. Hence, packed with sugar and sweeteners, processed juices will add access calories to your diet contradicting the principles of healthy eating.
Freshly squeezed juices also contain sugars from raw fruit. However, the amounts are much smaller than those in pre-packed juices. Besides, these are a so-called “healthy” sugars made by a natural fructose that is easily consumed by our bodies without building a fat storage. So, if you stick to any kind of slimming diet or simply try to follow healthy eating basics and control your calorie and sugar intake, fresh juices will perfectly suit your daily menu.
Ailments Prevention
Bringing a whole variety of vital elements to your body, fresh juices can help avoid a number of serious diseases. Thus drinking citrus juices at least several times per week prevents kidney stones. Cherry juice will protect you from gout and aged arthritis. Filled with lycopene, tomato juice helps neutralize cancerogenes and prevent cancer while cranberry juice is known for treatment of urinary infections.
