If you use vertical style masticating slow juicer before, you may have at least one question, where is the big chute?
I tell you. There is no chute. It only comes with a self-feeding hopper with a big handle.
It has a blade inside. When you turn on the machine, the blade will spin at the same.
As you see the hopper is so large, you can put a lot of fruits and vegetables at one time.
Then the blade will chop and push the ingredients down to the auger automatically.
It doesn’t have a food pusher. The blade and the gravity will do all the rest for you.
With this juicer, you only need to put the ingredients inside and wait.
The pulp container is right under the chamber to collect the pulp.
This design can save a lot of space for everyone.
In front of the juicer, it has a rotate dial to control the direction instead of the traditional button.
It looks nice and easy to use.
The chamber has a measurement as you see. I think you cannot see this design in other juicers.
Actually, it’s quite useful. You can know the amount of juice and decide to continue juicing or not.
The lever right under the measurement can control the amount of pulp go into your juice.
If you want more nutrients and fiber, you can let more pulp flow into your cup.
An anti-drip plug can prevent any drips when you need to take away the cup.
This juicer is quite heavy. When you more, it needs to be more careful.
The hopper is big enough to put everything you want to juice without any cutting.
Overall, I believe this is the most convenient juicer in the market.
If you don’t want to do any preparation or you are budget enough, this one can juice very fast for you.

Actually, you can use it to juice everything you want from fruits to vegetables and from soft to hard.
The motor is very quiet, it’s just 60db.
The noise is much lower than the centrifugal juicer.
The juice created from a slow masticating juicer can store up to 72 hours without degradation or juice separation because it keeps the oxidation to a minimum by 80 RPM and low heat build-up.
Low speed can keep the nutrients not destroyed when juicing.
The assembly process is very simple, just put the auger, juice strainer, and spinner brush into the chamber.
All the detachable parts are BPA free and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

But, masticating slow juicer can extract 30% more juice and 40% more vitamins and mineral than centrifugal
Since this juicer is vertical design, so, you no need to use the food pusher most of the time.
The fruits and veggies will go into the auger automatically due to gravity.
The pulp and juice will separate perfectly into 2 include cups with a handle.
Here, I have one tip for you. If you need to juice a lot at one time, you better find a large container for the pulp.
The included one will be full very fast.
Other than turn on the function, it also comes with a reverse function.
When the juicer gets stuck, you can try to switch to reverse mode.
The motor will spin in the opposite direction to remove what is stuck inside.
There is one more way to use the reverse function.

Mueller Austria Ultra Juicer Machine Extractor
[EDITOR CHOICE] This is Mueller Ultra Juicer Machine Extractor with 60 RPM and weighs 12.2 pounds. It measures 19 x 17.3 x 48.8 inches.
It is a vertical style juicer.
It can save much more space than a horizontal style.
The food chute is a 3-inch width with the food pusher.
Every time you juice, you can put the whole fruits and vegetables such as apples, oranges, and carrot directly into the chute without any cutting.
This can save you a lot of time especially you need to juice every day or juice for a lot of people as you just need to wash the fruits and vegetables only, not so much preparation work need to do.
Unlike other horizontal juicers, you have to cut the ingredients into small pieces every time.
Just mention this, I already feel tired. Does busy mummy have the same feeling?
Normally, the food pusher will not use so much if your juicer is vertical style because the gravity will pull the food down to the auger for you automatically.
It has a reverse function. When the auger gets stuck and you need to wash the juicer, it’s time to use a reverse function.
Most of the time, it just turns on and juice seldom uses a reverse function.
The juice outlet has an anti-drip design to prevent any leaks and drips when you need to change the juice container.
It has a safe design. If all the parts are not placed properly, the juicer cannot be turned on.
It greatly reduces the possibility of any accidents, especially you have children.

[BUDGET PRODUCT]This is Aobosi Masticating Slow Juicer with 80 RPM and weighs 11.05 pounds. It measures 14.4 x 11.6 x 10.9 inches.
It is a horizontal style juicer. It looks bigger.
The chamber and the auger are smaller too.
The food chute is not large. You cannot put the whole fruits or vegetables into the chute at one time.
That means you need to do more preparation jobs like cutting.
This juicer needs to use the food pusher frequently.
But, in other words, the small chute is safer because no one can put the hand into the chute.
If you have children, this design can protect them from getting injured.
This juicer uses 7 upgrade spiral masticating to cut, break, squeeze, mill, separate, grind, and extract.
Compare to a centrifugal juicer, it can extract vitamin A more than 60%, vitamin C more than 42%, and the juice quality is 35-50% more.
You can use it to juice a wide variety of ingredients such as gingers, celery, wheatgrass, carrots, apples, oranges, or any other fruits and vegetables.

The included filter brush can clean the filter easily and fast.
Similarly, it has on and reverses the function button.
The reverse button is used when the juicer gets stuck.
It also can help you to clean the juicer.
After juicing, better wash it as quickly as possible because the parts will hard to clean if the pulp is dry.
Omega Juicers CUBE300S Cube Nutrition Center Juicer
This is Omega Masticating Slow Juicer with 80 RPM and weighs 18 pounds. It measures 10.2 x 10.2 x 10.4 inches.
I think this juicer is the most special one in the juicer market because of the unique practical design.
It is designed as a cube. The cube shape is easy for the store.
You can just simply put it in the corner.
It comes with so many accessories that can store in various places around the juicer itself.
What? Store around the juicer?
Yes, don’t doubt your eyes.
There are one food pusher and one scrubbing brush that can store in the back corners.
There are 2 holes for them. If you need to use it, just take it out from the holes.
In the back of the juicer, there is a box to store 6 different nozzles for multi-purpose functions such as producing pasta, noodles, sorbet, ice cream, and more.
All the accessories and the juicer itself are made of hard-wearing BPA-free plastics.
You know, BPA free is the most important criterion for plastic nowadays.
If the plastic needs to contact the food, who are willing to use the plastic that contains BPA?
As you see in the product image, the food chute is quite small.
There is the food funnel on top.
When you need to juice, you have to do many preparation jobs. Otherwise, it’s not small enough to put into the chute.
Actually, other than the shape and the accessories, the operation of this juicer is just like other horizontal juicers.
The process of assembly and disassembly is also similar.
Overall, if you just need to juice, I suggest you buy other models because this one is quite expensive.
It’s not worth to buy it if you cannot fully utilize all the nozzles.
Omega Juicer NC800HDS Juice Extractor
This is Omega Juicer with 80 RPM and weighs 20 pounds. It measures 14.5 x 6.5 x 15.5 inches.
It comes with a 150-watt powerful motor with 2HP that can generate more torque for your toughest daily job.

There is a small food chute in the chamber.
Every time you juice, you have to do a lot of preparation work for the food.
You have to cut it into small enough to fit the chute.
If you don’t like to cut so much every time you want to juice, you can consider buying a vertical style. It has a big food chute that is enough to put a whole apple or orange.
On top of the food chute, there is a food funnel.
You can pour a lot of fruits or vegetables there. It’s much convenient that takes it one by one.
Unlike other horizontal style juicers, this juicer has a big handle on the juicer body.
If you always need to take the juicer from the countertop to other places, it’s a good design for you.
The juice outlet doesn’t have an anti-drip plug design.
When you need to change the container, the juice will drip on your countertop. So, you have to prepare the other container when you remove the old one.
Honestly, if you want to buy it for juicing only, I recommend you choose other models as the price will be cheap a lot but can do the same thing.
Tribest GSE-5010 Greenstar Elite Cold Press Complete Masticating Juicer
This is Tribest Greenstar Elite Cold Press Complete Masticating Juicer with 110 RPM and weighs 17.2 pounds. It measures 18.6 x 6.8 x 12.4 inches.
It has 3 colors, black, chrome, and white.
It provides 12 years warranty. In my opinion, if the manufacturer can provide such a long warranty to the customer, they must have much confidence in their product.
There is one big difference compared to other name brand juicer.
This juicer doesn’t have an auger. It uses stainless steel twin gears instead.
It has special pocket recesses on the teeth of the twin gears that help to process hard vegetables like carrots.
It also has cutting points placed on the gears.
These can handle the string vegetables like celery efficiently because sometimes they will have a long fibrous strand that will literally wrap around some augers of juicers and clog it up.
The fibrous strand will clog the pulp outlet up as well. With the benefit of special pocket recesses and cutting points, the fibrous strand will be chopped into little pieces automatically.
So, compare to other juicers, no matter you have to juice fruits or vegetables, you have to cut it into small pieces.
But, with this juicer, you can put everything into the chute regardless of the length.
The only thing that needs to care if the fruits or vegetables fit the width of the chute or not.
Like celery, you can put a whole on without any cutting.
This juicer also comes with a reverse function.
Other than juice, it can use as a food processor and homogenizer to create pasta, noodles, frozen sorbets, nut buttes, salsas, and more. all you need to do is just change the nozzles.

If you want to change the attachment, just simply replace the one on top of the machine.
Then place the other attachment there. The installation of both attachments is totally the same.
The mincing attachment can use to mince a variety of ingredients such as sorbets, nut butter, sauces, and more.
The function is just similar to the food processor.
The feature dual-blade auger creates a double-cut of the fruits or vegetables to reduce jamming and pulp.
The slow 47 RPM provides a cold press juice extraction.
Compare to a traditional centrifugal juicer, it can preserve more live enzymes, nutrients, and essential vitamins and prevent oxidation.
The juice cap can prevent any leaks and drip when you need to change the juice container.
It is detachable for easy cleaning.
The food chute is not very big. It’s 1.5 Inch x 2.5 Inch.
It’s not enough to put the whole apple and orange without cutting like other brand juicers.
So, you have to do some preparation job before juicing.
It also comes with a food pusher for you to push the ingredients to the chute.
Normally, the vertical style juicer will not need to use the food pusher so much because the gravity will help you a lot.
That is the benefit of a vertical style juicer.
If you already have a food processor in your kitchen, I think you can buy the other juicer to juice as the price should be cheaper.
The money you save can use to buy other things.

If you are familiar with the slow masticating juicer, I think you may feel something wrong about the 43 RPM of this juicer.
It’s true. It’s really 43 RPM.
That is approximate 50% speed of other vertical styles slow masticating juicer.

If you use the juice as an ingredient, it will be useful for you as you can control the ingredients precisely.
One tip for you, when you juice, try not to use the food push.

The oxidation occurs much more.
The lower spin rate can minimize the oxidation and retain the more natural flavor of the juice.

How To Choose The Best Slow Masticating Juicer
In the market, there are vertical style and horizontal style juicer.
They all can juice. But, which one should I choose?
Some like the vertical style and others like the horizontal style.
Personally, I like the horizontal style.
Why? Please read below.
Vertical Style Juicer
The main advantage is the space occupied by a vertical-style juicer is always less than a horizontal style juicer.
It’s always compact.
The second advantage is the gravity always helps you to pull the food down to the auger.
You no need to use the food pusher all the time.
Just plugin and put the food into the chute directly.
It’s much convenient.
Some models can use to make sorbet with extra attachment. But most of them can juice only.
Feeding Chute
Vertical Style Juicer comes with either a big feeding chute or a small feeding chute.
Big feeding chute: You can put the whole fruits and vegetables into the chute without cutting such as the whole apple and orange.
If you always need to juice for a lot of people, you will know the benefits very fast.
Small feeding chute: That means you have to chop the fruits and vegetables into pieces.
It will be a tedious job if you need to juice a lot.
The preparation job always takes time. For busy mummy, it’s not good news.
Horizontal Style Juicer
This juicer only comes with a small feeding chute. I have never seen this style of juicer has a big chute.
That means you have to do some preparation works every time before you want a juicer.
It also occupies more space than the vertical style.
But, there is one advantage that only the Horizontal style has.
That is multi-purpose.
Some models will come with different nozzles that can use to make noodles, pasta, ice cream, and more.
Therefore, which style you have to buy totally depends on your situation.
No one is the best. Only the most suitable for you is the best.
Spin Rate
Normally, the lower the spin rate, the more the nutrients and vitamins can retain.
Horizontal style juicer always comes with 80 RMP.
Vertical has more options, 60, 43, or 38.
According to my research, the latest model of juicer always comes with a slower spin rate.
But, the latest model always has a higher price.
It totally depends on your budget.
Auto Cleaning System
This feature is only available in a vertical style juicer. After juicing, pour a certain amount of water into the juicer and turn on the juicer, either on or reverse function.
This can reduce a lot of pulp and reduce washing time.
Foam
No matter what RPM is your juicer, the juicer always comes with the foam.
If you want to remove the form, you have to prepare your own strainer.
Actually, I don’t mind the foam. I always drink it with juice.
Anti-Drip Design
This feature only available in vertical style juicers, but not all of them It’s very useful when you need to change the juice cup.
I think this is the most basic equipment for every juicer.
But, actually, only some models come with this feature.
Auger
Some auger comes with a double edge auger. It can reduce jamming and pulp.
U Shape Pulp Outlet
This kind of pulp outlet can let the pulp come out more smoothly and reduce the chance of clogging.
Core Technology
It adopts slow grinding technology and belongs to the category of small kitchen appliances.
It has practical and diverse functions, and the equipment is durable and has a long life.
A slow masticating juicer that meets Robert’s standards.
The functions of the slow masticating juicer are practical and diverse: fruit and vegetable juice, baby food supplement, water fruit ice cream, five-grain grinding, and non-food processing.
The world’s earliest kitchen appliance slow grinding technology was invented by a man named (Robert Leo) in Florida in the 1960s and 1970s.
The Robert family began manufacturing centrifugal juicers in 1930 and began manufacturing slow milling equipment in the 1960s and 1970s.
More than ten years later, in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the technical standards for slow masticating juicer products were formulated.
Slow grinding technology is produced because of the slow masticating juicer that promotes slow grinding technology to the world.
They are mutually promoting the development and innovation of high food auxiliary processing technology.
Standard
It has multiple functions, high production technology, zero pollution of high-quality food, and high-quality requirements.
The FDA requires that food-assisted processing appliances have zero contamination of processed food materials.
The Robert standard has stricter requirements for a slow masticating juicer.
For example, it is required that nuclear accessories for home use must be wear-resistant for more than 10-15 years (the juice machine needs to be replaced once in 3-5 years due to product structure restrictions) and does not contain bisphenol A (BPA FREE), Electric motors are required to have a durable life of at least 60 years for household use.
The life expectancy of the whole design family is 15-20 years.
Several features of slow masticating juicer design:
- Horizontal structure, multiple functions
- Twisted sheave
- It is equipped with two functions that can handle juice and grinding as standard.
- The whole machine is designed to protect the human body and children from contact with safety
The standard established by Robert’s family is too strict.
Only some of the slow masticating juicer products of a few well-known historical brands in the United States follow this standard (Excalibur, Omega/Youmeijia, Greenstar (twisted wheel), Angel.
In actual tests, the products of these brands only meet the actual standards for products manufactured in the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.
And only Omega products have obtained UL dual certification for commercial and household use.
Functions
The industrial structure design of a slow masticating juicer has natural advantages so that it has a variety of practical and outstanding functions.
Its most outstanding features are:
- The juice yield is even higher than that of the juice machine by 5%~~8% of fruit and vegetable juice
- Pasty food for babies and old people
- Grind five grains, coffee beans, noodles
- The shredding function of the food processor and its unique function of separating meat fat from lean meat.
It’s generally designed to have a water level and horizontal appearance.
It has the function of a blender, a food processor, a noodle machine, an ice cream machine, and supplementary food for babies’ function of the machine.
Fruit and vegetable juice
With a slow squeezing method, the enzymes contained in the juice (the general term for enzymes/vitamins/minerals by nutritionists) will not be oxidized and lose nutrients, and the color and taste are natural, exquisite.
Slow masticating juicer’s vegetable juice is an excellent product to nourish the body.
Cooking and food processing
It can be used to make fillings for pies, dumplings, and buns.
For example, carrot div, white radish. O
r make a pureed vegetable and fruit soup suitable for infants and the elderly.
It can also be used to separate fat and lean meat from most of the meat, mash the fish meat and remove some species of fish bones and scales.
Noodles
It can be made into Italian-style noodles and Chinese-style noodles in three shapes.
Or you can use egg and vegetable juice to make colorful noodles for children. Can also be used as breadsticks.
Fruit ice cream
After the ripe banana slices, blueberries, strawberries, and other berries are put into the freezer and frozen, they can be made into pure water fruit ice cream by grinding the net with a slow masticating juicer.
Similarly, juice popsicles can be made from fruit juice.
Infant supplementary food
You can make mushy food for infants and the elderly.
Grinding
The dried or roasted pepper can be ground into chili powder, garlic mash, banana, or other fruit and vegetable mash, homemade sauces, crushed spices.
Grind crushed nuts, nut paste, ground five grains soaked in water, or roasted coffee beans, etc.
Development History
The world’s earliest slow masticating juicer product was born in the 1960s (Figure 1.1).
It was manufactured by Robert’s family-owned company Florida Factory. The earliest brand name was Olympic.
The earliest and representative product of the Robert family is the Olympic WheatGrassjuicer (Olympic small wheatgrass juicer) produced in Florida, the USA in the 1970s.
This product is the world’s first multifunctional slow masticating juicer made by the Robert family.
This is the Model 8000 that later became popular in North America (Figure 2.0, available from the US Patent and Trademark Office), which uses the first-generation twisted wheel technology.
At this time the brand name has been changed to Omega.
In the early 1980s, the second-generation slow-grinding technology representative product, the single-long shaft Model 8001, laid the technical standard for Robert’s slow masticating juicer.
The real slow technology era has since begun.
The global slow grinding technology products are gradually dominated by a horizontal slow masticating juicer, focusing on technological innovation, structural and convenient design innovation, and appearance innovation.
It focuses on the reliability of the main functions of fruit and vegetable juice extraction, grinding, squeezing, and food processing.
It still occupies 40% of the market.
It is mainly designed with technology, appearance, and convenient function design innovation.
Due to structural limitations, it still focuses on the function of fruit and vegetable juice extraction.
Slow masticating juicer and blender
A blender is a must-have appliance for European and American families. Blender uses a high-speed mixing method.
Usually, a rotary knife made of medical grade stainless steel is used.
The vertical angle of the rotary knife is strictly related to the designed rotation speed and the structure design of the mixing cup.
Otherwise, not only the mixing effect will not be achieved, but also There is a safety problem in use.
When a blender makes juice, it is generally necessary to add water to it.
Blender is suitable for daily body conditioning, because the way of processing non-food ingredients, you can get some dietary fiber.
Blender is often used to make vegetable juices, which can improve the intestines and stomach, but the high-speed operation will make the enzymes in the raw materials unstable, and usually lose their nutrition within 5-10 minutes.
The slow masticating juicer has been circulating in North America since the 1980s, and 70%-80% of American households are using this machine.
In the field of medical nutrition, nutritionists will recommend to patients to regulate their blood, acid-base physique, and improve their body by formulating a diet.
However, it is impossible for Blender to regulate the blood. Slow masticating juicer’s vegetable juices are fine and delicate.
Through the effect of squeezing and breaking the walls, the enzymes remain intact, but the fiber content is low (except for non-use of grinding nets to make fruit puree and jam).
Therefore, blender and slow masticating juicers are used together in European and American families, and there is no conflict between them.
Nowadays European and American families are popular in organic drinking and eating combinations.
Slow masticating juicer brought disasters to traditional centrifugal juicer products, but it led to the huge development of slow masticating juicer and its derivative products.
More and more people understand the new technology and enjoy the green, healthy, and delicate lifestyle brought by the new technology.
This is the return of technological innovation to mankind.
Conclusion
At the end of the post, I think everyone should know fully about what is a slow masticating juicer.
Other than a slow masticating juicer, it also has a centrifugal juicer and citrus juicer in the juicer market.
If you want to know more, you can read my post to gain more insights and ideas.
After reading it all, for most of the family, I think the slow masticating juicer is the best choice for juice.
Fewer preparation works, more juice extraction, more nutrients, more vitamins, and more.
Some horizontal style juicers can also use to make ice cream, pasta, or noodle. It’s just like a kind of food processor.
I suggest you estimate your situation before making any decision.

This is a great list of juicer, we personally use Aobosi Slow Masticating juicer. My whole family prefer fresh juice over pre-packaged juice: the taste is more freshening, it is healthy and all natural without any artificial additives, and it is cheaper if you stick to fruits that are in season. The juicer works well for both veggie and fruits, it takes something solid to push the leafy greens but no big deal at all. Easy to clean, looks nice and simple to use.

I’ll admit: I don’t care about juicers, at all. But your article is nice and thorough, with a table of contents first and foremost. Perfect for the long-winded nature of an in-depth review of 15 products. Also, I love the price-checker on each one. That’s a genius idea (I’m writing it down for later!)
