People were starting to notice. Hasn’t she had one of those three times this week already?
The main drawback here is that the high power motor produces heat, resulting in the loss of some of the raw-form nutrients (if you’re using the juice to cook with, the centrifugal is ideal, and they’re often more affordable).

Heidi Swanson of 101 Cookbooks recently inherited a Waring PJE101 Quite White Juice Extractor.
Centrifugal Juicers
The extractor features an industrial strength, 550-watt motor with a stainless steel blade and centrifugal force and can be used with a citrus attachment that is sold separately; $149 from Factory Direct.
Breville’s 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor has two speed controls of 6,500rpm for soft fruit to 13,000rpm for tougher fruit.
The stainless-steel micromesh filter and titanium-plated cutting disk, along with other parts, are all dishwasher safe and housed in die-cast steel.
Cuisinart’s CJE-1000-Watt 5-Speed Juice Extractor uses its 1000 watts of power to process soft to tough fruits and vegetables at variable speeds.
The Omega O2 Compact Pulp Ejector is a stripped down, simple centrifugal juicer.
The Kuvings NJ-9700U Centrifugal Juice Extractor in Chrome has a 350-watt motor with dual speed options: a low 9,500rpm up to a turbo 11,000rpm to juice anything from a soft orange to a fibrous piece of ginger.
Cold Press Juicers
The classic masticating juicer is the Omega J8004 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer that processes at a low 80rpm speed to maintain enzymes, prevent oxidation, and allow for juice storage for up to 72 hours without degradation.
The Breville BJS600XL Fountain Crush Masticating Juicer Slow Juicer processes fruits and vegetables with a 240-watt motor at 80rpm.
Add the Champion Household 200+ Juicer to that list of classics, powered with 1/3 horsepower General Electric.
It does operate at a much higher speed than most masticating juicers (540 watts), but does claim to maintain nutrient levels in the juice it produces and among juicing communities, it is somewhat of a cult classic.
Named the Best New Kitchen Appliance by Bon Appétit, the Hurom Black Slow Juicer operates at 80rpm, uses 150 watts of energy, and weighs just 12 pounds.
Named the “Rolls-Royce of juicers” in many user review threads, the Super Angel All Stainless Steel Twin Gear Juicer 5500 has a twin gear impeller press system that rotates at a low 86rpm, an ideal speed for keeping enzymes and nutrients alive in the juice.
