What could be better, and most importantly, more useful than fresh juice? Only fresh juice. At the beginning of the autumn, we need to stock vitamins, removing them from generous gifts of nature - various fruits and vegetables. Apcomment in this wonder technology. What to select the juicer universal or only for citrus?
Modern juicers are very technological devices, although even the simplest citrus press still enjoys greatly popularity. But it will allow you to enjoy only juice of oranges, grapefruits, lemons and other citrus. Akak same fruits and especially vegetables? Those who want to diversify the range of domestic fresh juices, household appliances manufacturers offer universal juicers.
Do not do without a press
Let's start with the simplest juicer for citrus, or cytrus press. Its design is extremely simple: a motor, a cone-shaped ribbed nozzle and a container for collecting juice (bucket). Contact this device is not difficult. It is necessary to pre-cut the fruit in half (for example, orange), then attach one half to the rotating nozzle and press the hand. Well, if such a juicer has a reversive stroke (the nozzle rotates first in one, then in the other direction), it allows you to squeeze the fruit, which is called "dryness".When all the juice is squeezed, it remains only to throw the crusts and the flesh that accumulated on the nozzle. During the press, it is also necessary to remove the flesh as needed, because it clogs the holes through which the juice falls into the bucket. Juice's arrival can be tracked through the transparent walls of the vessel or thanks to the indicator scale. Typically, the capacity is designed for 1 l juice or even less. Adlya preparation of one glass of fresh beverage will need 3-4 oranges (that is, to get 200 ml of juice, it is necessary to take 500 g of fruit). Do not be upset due to low device performance, because the juice, squeezed from citrus, is better to drink as quickly as possible (in the first few minutes), since the vitamin C is destroyed during contact with air, and therefore the drink loses useful properties. Obtaining juice with the help of a citrus press requires certain physical efforts (it is necessary to press on the fruit) and time. But in some models, JU CUP 9911 BK (Bork, Germany), SP 2072 / LM (VEMA), AGRL (Fimar, Obaitaly) - there is a special lever, pressing orange, which greatly facilitates the case. After use, do not forget to wash the juicer, it is enough to remove the flesh and rinse the device with clean water.
Useful properties of fruits and their preparation

| Kiwi | Vitamins C and E, Potassium | 3 pcs. | Clean from the peel and cut down the size of the juicer |
| Grapes | Vitamin E and antioxidants | 150 g | Remove with twigs and wash. You do not need to cleanse |
Universal Soldier
More advanced universal (centrifugal) juicers allow you to enjoy juice of almost any fruit, berries and vegetables. However, it is better to clarify the list of nature gifts that can recycle the device, looking before purchasing instructions for its operation. For example, for many units, undesirable berries with small bones (more precisely, small multicast fruits), which will quickly score filter: gooseberry, currant, raspberry. Inspective, most cases manufacturers prevent the impossibility of processing these berries. Works a universal device somewhat different than cytrus-press. Fruits need to be pre-cut into pieces that felt the juicers in the neck. If you want to maximize the process and completely trust the device, choose a device with a large neck so as not to cut the fruit, and put them there entirely. In addition, please note whether there is a special tray for fruit and berries. You can put five apples at once and then calmly leave, and in a few minutes you will return and drink ready-made apple juice. Such an opportunity provides, for example, model MP 80 (Braun, Germany).
Spaces in work
The juicer has one weak side: with their help you cannot prepare juice from the fruits of bone crops (the so-called aluminum fruit). First, not every bone of the juicer "on the teeth", and secondly, even if it is possible to split it, then the remains will quickly score the sieve of the unit. Therefore, you will have to forget about the cherry, peach, apricot, plum and other similar juices, unless you have bones from each fetal to remove manually.
Finding inside the device, the fruits first turn out to be in a centrifuge, where the disc grad is crushed them into Cashitz, and then under the action of centrifugal force (hence the name of this type of juicer) - in the separator (net filter). Here, the juice is separated from the rubber pulp, after which it enters the hike collector, the volume of which is from 0.5 liters to several liters. Avian pulley in different models is moving in various ways: either remains on the filter grid (it is often necessary to interrupt the operation and clean the grid), or is automatically ejected to a special container. The latter is removable or built-in.
Forward, it is easy to remove it, and they just throw the flesh. The second option is more time-consuming: to access the container, you have to partially disassemble the device. In addition to the centrifuge model rotates with an average frequency of 9-14 thousand rpm. This tempo is suitable in order to get juice from solid fruits or vegetable carrots, apples, pears. For more juicy fruits sufficiently and lower speed. Extract models- JE 570 (Kenwood), CJ 800 CP (Binatone, Britain), HR 1851 (Philips, Netherlands) - can, adjusting the speed, select the consistency of the juice (with the flesh or without).
Various devices squeeze the same fruits in different ways. When choosing a juicer, the most important criteria are the for the sake of which we buy it, - the spin speed and the amount of juice obtained. It is possible to define them in advance by such parameters as the pulp function (do not have to constantly stop the operation of the device to clean it) and the speed of the centrifuge (the faster it moves, the more fluid it is possible to receive). The most conscientious manufacturers in the technical characteristics of the device indicate which percentage of juice can be removed from the most popular fruits. The dimensions of the juicer also have considerable significance (solve what place you are ready to take it) and noise level (it will not be interviewed when working). Keep in mind: most universal juicers are designed for daily short use. Manufacturers advise not too much to load the usual universal juicer (so to process for 1 time no more than 3kg fruit) - the motor must be given to relax. At the same time, during prolonged operation, the efficiency of the press is reduced, since the fleet of fruit scores the filter, the most vulnerable area of the device. It can deform and even rush, so you need to carefully follow and wash it on time. Not all filters can be placed in the dishwasher, it is better to clean them by manually under the jet of water.

Gudders and lovers to prepare juices for the winter are used by the aggregates, ready to function continuously for a long time and recycle tens of kilograms of fruits. For example, the performance of the Juice Master juicer (Rotel, Switzerland) - 55kg of carrots for 1h. Moreover, it can squeeze the juice from a grenade, gooseberry, grapes in the fruits is not a hindrance. APRIBOR "Zhuravinka" (Mogilev Plant "Electric Motor", Belarus) For 1h, the juice out of 25 kg of fruit.
How much vitamins?
As a rule, in the assortment of each manufacturer there are citrus presses, and centrifugal juicers. In the Russian market, Bosch devices (Germany), Scarlett (United Kingdom), Moulinex, Tefal, Saturn (USA), Bork, Braun, Kenwood, Philips Idre are presented in the Russian market.
Do not lose time
The cytrus presses are not too different from each other (the principle of operation in all is about the same), except for external decoration and power. The cost of these devices is 400-1500rub. Universal juicers - more expensive: the price fluctuates in the range of 1500-20 000 rubles. It depends both on design and power and on the number of speeds, bucket capacity and container, operation time in continuous mode.
