There are many different kinds of fruit and vegetable juicers on the market today. Breville are a famous manufacturer of kitchen appliances and there are many models of Breville juicers that they produce. There are of course Magimix juicers too including the Magimix le duo machine. The difference is that Breville are available in both the U.S. and Europe whereas Magimix are much harder to find in the United States. Both companies produce excellent juicing machines. They both make what are known as centrifugal juicers. This style of juicer accepts fruit and vegetables down a chute which then reaches the bottom of a cylindrical container where it is torn apart into tiny pieces by numerous small teeth on the bottom of the cylinder. Then, as this part is spinning so fast, it is thrown against the sides where the centrifugal forces force the water out off the cylinder into another part and then it comes pouring out of a spout into a collecting container. There is debate amongst the juicing community as to whether these juicers have a harmful effect on the juice that they make. It is argued that the high speeds that the cylinder is spun at and the slight rise in temperature can cause the juice to oxidise at a higher rate. Other styles of juicers are claimed to potentially cause less of this as they do not cause such a noticable oxidising effect. These are known as masticating juicers.
But this article is primarily about Breville juicers like the Breville BJE200XL machine. This is a great entry level juicer as it is not as expensive as many of the supposedly top of the range machines. In fact this Breville appliance costs less than $100 so may well suit people on tight budgets. Also if you do not yet own one of these kinds of machines, rather than spending a great deal of money on a your first juicer, it may well be a better idea to get a cheaper model to find out if you really are prepared to juice fruit and vegetables on a dialy.
