What's the difference between an extrctor, and a juicer?

Cheaper juicers shred their contents. More expensive masticating juicers crush their contents at low speed without creating heat and preserving all nutrients. Buy a masticating juicer. Anything under $199.00 will most likely be of inferior quality made in China. Make sure that it is made in South Korea.

I have no idea. I returned this juicer because it was very flimsy. I needed a sturdier one.

Juicer is great for small fruits. We have a lime tree and I can juice 6 cups in minutes. Takes longer to cut the limes in half than to juice them. Hope this helps.

I see no difference between the two models. Both are mandolin slicers, both cut vegetables and fruit.

Hi- This is a masticating juicer. I have one and I also have Omega VRT. If I had to choose one I would take the Champion.

It extracts the pulp. for me, that much waste is bothersome. I drink a morning protein smoothie, so I make sure to trim the vegetables before juicing. That way I can take the leftover pulp (ie fiber) and add it to my smoothies. It's already broken down so it mixes in very easily. Also, I add it to soups, spaghetti sauce, etc. I've stored it in the fridge and the freezer. I'm very happy with this juicer. I'd love one of the high end ones, but I don't want to pay that much money. This juicer is a good price, it's easy to use, very easy and quick clean up, and I would recommend the purchase.

With large hole strainer you get more pulp. We use the large hole to make apple SAUCE, and the small hole strainer to make juice, which is still very thick. It isn't a matter of speed but consistency. Hope you enjoy your juicer!

A blender only blends all content , witch creates pulp , but this juicer separates the fiber from the juice. So in one bin, you get the solid content and in the other you get pure smooth juice

A strainer keeps the pulp from being mixed with your juice. The pulp is collected in a plastic bin next to the juicer and can be added to your juice if you prefer more fibre.

I'm not sure what's in the motor as it's encased in a plastic housing but there are two gears that mesh together to "juice" the food. These two gears are both metal and plastic. The metal gears are what the veggies and fruit come in contact with first. The plastic part of the gears are shaped like a cork screw and push the ground up pulp through the screen. The plastic part seems to be made out of the same material some cutting boards are made out of. They feel very durable. We use our juicer every day to make juice for a 5 person family. We also will run it for long periods of time to juice up 15lb boxes of apples, pomegranates, carrots, what ever is in season. It works great!!!! We are very pleased with it.

Hi, masticating means that the machine does not destroy de fruit for taking the juice out of it, it has an auger in the middle that really squeezes the fruit parts against a grid chamber that filters the juice and separates it from the pulp. And this "squeezing" is made slowly (80 rpm) in order to let the juice flow once it is extracted and not pulverized in a centrifugal way as other machines do. If you do this too quickly and to energic, the juice gets oxidize, making it less tasty and less durable in time. It is really a remarkable machine in my opinion and you will tell the juices taste way better than others.

Hi Adam S. The Breville 800JEXL Elite is not a masticating juicer. I have owned this model of centrifugal juicer for over 2 years. While I am more than satisfied with the quality of juice it produces and with its performance, I have recently decided to change to a masticating juicer. The Breville, and most centrifugal juicers, juice your veggies and fruits at very high RPMs (1500), which I have read destroys many of the valuable enzymes in fruits and veggies. The masticating juicers, on the other hand, juices your fruits and veggies at 80 RPMs. This lower RPM supposedly avoids "oxidizing" the juice of your fruits and veggies, unlike the centrifugal type of juicer, thus preserving the integrity of those valuable enzymes/nutrients. I don't know if this is true, as there is so much hype out there on the Internet. But it sounds good to me, and right now I can afford to buy another juicer. After spending a lot of time researching masticating juicers, I am leaning toward the Omega J8006. It has a dual auger, which I have read is the best method to juice with a masticating juicer. Reviews for the Omega J8006 are great, and I can live with the cons. (Cons mostly consist of having to cut down in size your veggies before juicing. I don't have a problem spending a little extra time with cutting up the veggies before putting them down the shute. It doesn't seem like much of con to me.) Good luck with your research in selecting a juicer. If this will be your first, you're in for a positive change in your health, regardless of your selection (centrifugal vs. masticating). Juicing is great!

I have both. I just replaced my 1995 Vitamix with a new model that has preset programs for smoothies, soups and frozen treats. I LOVE my vitamix, which btw has a 7 year warranty with the option of upgrade, and is definately the better machine healthwise and if you want more than straight juicing. I cannot imagine what the previous poster did to the Vitamix that it fell apart. It is a workhorse!" However, if you are just juicing, having owned several juicers the Brevelle is the best! Pros and Cons summary: VITAMIX - variety, "Whole" juicer, easy cleanup, built to last. BREVELLE JUICER - Smooth juice with less pulp left over than other Juicers, so much to clean up I rarely use it.

I've used both and they both work great. I can't really tell the difference between them.

I don't remember because I returned the juicer after 2 uses. It's no where near as good a product as the Omega J8003 I did have nor the Omega J8004 that I replaced the VRT with. Too much pulp in the juice, too much foam, too much money for a less than acceptable juicer. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

If you want a more specific answer, go to the Omega website. I believe the major difference is in the motor. I researched them all at the time I purchased mine, and decided the difference wasn't significant enough for the higher cost, for what I wanted to use it for, which is juicing leaves. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I do remember I asked the same question on the Omega website, and received a very satisfactory answer.

It does not make juice, it makes very smooth pulp. We use carrots daily as part of our smoothie blend. We like the smoothie rather than juice as it has the full complement of vitamins and minerals. A juicer will throw off the pulp.
