Champion Juicer

Juicing is a process by which a machine extracts the juice from vegetables and fruits. This process enables individuals to drink fresh juices that contain vitamins, minerals and living enzymes to improve overall health. The process of drinking fresh juice has been around for at least 50 years but it has been only in the past couple of decades that the juicers have become small enough to fit on home kitchen countertops.

There are two types of juicers currently available on the market. The first one is a centrifugal juicer which extracts the liquid by spinning the products at such a high rate is that the juice actually separates from the fiber. The second type juicer is a masticating process. These juicers are either single bore or double bore which means they contain either a single core or a double interlocking core through which the vegetables and fruits are passed as the juices extracted.

One the best masticating juicers for the price is made by Champion. The double core masticating process gives more fiber which is usually drier indicating that you have extracted more juice from the vegetables and fruits as they pass through the machine. The double core also results in darker, richer color of the juice and a sweeter more full-bodied flavor.

Most people say that they are able to see and taste the difference in juices which are passed through the Champion juicer. Since more juice is taken from the vegetable there are more pigment that are also extracted. This accounts for the darker richer color when compared to a conventional centrifugal type juicer.

Users have reported being able to make sorbet and nut butter because the machine incredibly versatile and durable. The parts are guaranteed for five years and the motor carries a three-year warranty. This is an interesting factor since most other juicers carry a longer warranty on the motor than they do of the parts. The company reports that the Champion juicer is also able to make coconut milk, baby food, fruit sauces and ice creams.

If space is an issue that this particular juicer model may be too large to be on your countertop. The large piece of equipment made from heavy-duty metal and not plastic. If it must be stored in the cabinet remember that it is large and bulky and will require an additional work out just to get it out on the counter again. However for those who can leave it out on the counter it is quite attractive and very functional.

Individuals also report that the Champion juicer is able to be assembled and cleaned fairly easily. All apart slides together in the metal screen comes clean with just a rinse and a wipe. Champion has been making juicers for several decades now and their powerful one third horsepower motor drive spinning cutter that will demolish the fruits and vegetables to release the juice.

This juicer has a relatively larger chute than other masticating juicers but definitely a smaller one than most centrifugal juicers. This means that most vegetables have to be cut smaller pieces. However, it is possible to feed the produce at a relatively quick rate during the juicing process. Like other twin gear models, Champion juicers do not handle soft fruits such as oranges or pineapple as well since the screen becomes clogged and parts need to be disassembled and cleaned before continuing. Sometimes this can be avoided by running both soft and hard vegetables together.

The cutting shaft Champion must be lubricated between uses. The high RPMs creates friction which can keep the juice and destroy the nutrients will and not be lubricated. Some owners found that the plastic housing may stain but other owners agree that the juicer is built to last.
