Photo by Sergey MorgunovWhat are the characteristicsjuicers are of the greatest interest to owners, depends, first of all, on how regularly the equipment is planned to be used. If you prepare no more than one or two glasses of juice every day, you are unlikely to need a model capable of preparing tens of liters of the drink in an hour. Therefore, in everyday life, inexpensive and compact models without obvious advantages in productivity are often in demand. High-performance juicers are used most often during seasonal preparations.

Elea Duo (Tefal)

What kind of juicer is betterPhoto 1,2,3.The citrus press included with the juicer makes it truly versatile (1). Pictograms will help you understand which speed is preferable for certain fruits (2). The rotating holder attachment with glasses is an elegant solution in French (3). Centrifugal juicer with a conical separator, the body is made of transparent and white plastic. Power 200 W. Two spin speeds. The kit includes a set of three glass juice glasses, a holder for glasses, an additional citrus press attachment, a brush for cleaning the separator. The length of the cord is 1.3 m. Description. First of all, it is impressive that the Elea Duo model is equipped not with a juice jug, but with an elegant set of three glasses and a holder for fixing them. The holder is put on the cylindrical body of the juicer, and it can be rotated, placing an empty glass under the juice dispenser. The spout of the device is equipped with a lock so as not to spill the drink in vain - this is very convenient. I was pleased with the presence of an additional attachment - a citrus press and two speeds for effective squeezing. But I did not really like the pulp container installed inside. You can empty the juicer only after disassembling it. Test. "Tomato test" - 340 ml (the filtered portion of the juice without pulp was less than 25% of the total volume of liquid). "Carrot test" - 230 ml of juice with high filtration quality. Summary. An original model designed for small portions of juice. Advantages: two squeezing speeds, citrus press included. Disadvantages: integrated pulp container, narrow (3 cm) opening for loading fruit.

MES 1020 (Bosch)

Photo 1,2,3.This is what the new Double Action separator (1) looks like. The control system (2) and double loading hole (3) are originally designed. Centrifugal juicer with a conical separator, white plastic body. Power - 380 W. One spin speed. The set includes a pulp container, juice jug and fruit tray. The cord length is 1.3 m. Description. The most interesting element of the juicer is hidden inside. This is the innovative Double Action separator, which provides high performance and squeezing efficiency. Another feature of the MES'1020 model is the presence of not one, but two loading holes, including a narrow one (for example, for celery stalks). Another crescent-shaped hole has a maximum width of 3 cm in the middle. This means that tomatoes and large carrots had to be cut into pieces. The juice container is equipped with an extremely effective foam separator, which ensures high purity of the drink. After squeezing the carrot juice, all the parts were easy to wash. Test. "Tomato test" - 350 ml (the filtered portion of the juice without pulp was about 25% of the total volume of liquid). "Carrot test" - 275 ml of juice with high filtration quality. Summary. Universal equipment that is suitable for both daily juice preparation and seasonal preparations. The loading hole, in our opinion, is a bit narrow.

JE900 (Kenwood)

Photo 1,2,3.The juicer has a transparent lid that allows you to monitor the operation (1), a convenient button with backlight (2). The kit includes an additional attachment - citrus press (3). Centrifugal juicer with a cylindrical separator, stainless steel body. Power - 850 W. Two spin speeds. The kit includes an additional attachment - citrus press. The cord length is 1 m. Description. In terms of design, this model is noticeably different from the other test participants. It has a cylindrical separator, the squeezed pulp is not discharged, so you have to take it out manually each time. This is not very convenient, especially with a large volume of work. However, the design of the separator is such that it is quite easy to remove the pulp. The large diameter of the centrifuge allows you to effectively squeeze juice at low speeds, while the juicer works quietly. In general, the appearance of the juicer is very attractive. An additional plus is the presence of a citrus press attachment. Test. "Tomato test" - a record amount of juice, more than 400 ml (the filtered portion without pulp was about 25% of the total volume of liquid). "Carrot test" - 290 ml of juice with high filtration quality. Summary. Advantages of the model: durable metal body, quiet operation, interesting design and the presence of a citrus press. Disadvantages (especially noticeable with a large volume of work): the need to extract the squeezed pulp manually and a not very wide (4.5 cm) loading hole.

Let's sum up the results

During the testing, two juicers were identifiedThe most productive models are the JE900 (Kenwood) and JU CUN 20120 BK (Bork). Considering the design features of both models, such results are not unexpected. In the first case (Kenwood), the pulp is always inside the cylindrical separator, which allows you to separate the juice with high efficiency. The final amount of juice is determined by the duration of the centrifuge rotation, and with unlimited patience you can squeeze the pulp almost dry. As for the Bork juicer, it significantly surpasses all other models in power and productivity. The other units showed approximately the same results for tomato juice, within 5% error. The spread in the yield of carrot juice was slightly larger - from 280 ml for HR1858 (Philips) to 230 ml for Elea Duo (Tefal).
