Good day,

I like to drink fruit juice and thinking to make my own at home, but i'm not sure whether i should get a juicer or blender?

Besides, appreciated anyone can share which reliable brand to get? i heard it could spoilt easily if get the unbranded.

blendtec... but its pricey... (RM1.5k min)

that is blender right?

I start doing research on this and seem like most people recommend the slow juicer

oops... then try Cuisinart / Philips / guifuren / amway etc.... no studies on that sorry...

youtube "hurom slow juicer"... a bit pricey but a good investment though, since it juices more & easier on the cleanup part...

been using it for almost a year & proud to say that i never regret it

Thanks for the recommendation!

I heard about this, the price around RM1.5k , not sure if got affordable alternative...seriously, a juicer for RM1.5k a bit pricey to me

Thanks Bro!

there a few things that you need to consider in choosing a juicer:

1. durability
juicing involves moving parts & tasking the juicer with unlimited kinds of fruits & vegetables. so make sure it is a long-lasting, trusted & good-reviewed juicer. buy only once, but able to use it many, many,many times

2. spare parts
make sure that you know where to order the parts, locally & internationally. if anything goes wrong, broken or cracked, you know where to source for the replacement.

3. juicing efficiency
Centrifugal juicer only extracts about 60-70% juice. This is due to the design of the juicer itself, you will have less juice & wet pulp that still contain some of the juice.

Slow juicer, although expensive, extracts up to 95% of juice, ending up with a drier pulp. In short, it means that you can get more juice, which translates to a better saving if you plan for a long-term juicing.

4. cleanup
have a look at the provided tools & parts that you need to clean after juicing. imagine you doing it daily & teaching someone else to do it properly ...got to find a way to quicken the process & take care of the juicer parts as well.

for me, a big basin filled with water & some dishwashing liquid is recommended. after juicing, i just dip all the parts, brush em up & rinse at the sink. anything below 5 minutes seems okay lorr..

5. storage
ensure that you have a safe & secure place to store the juicer. not from thieves, but from ants, cockroach, rodents & etc. dont wanna end up juicing a cockroach instead..eewww

apart from it all, juicing is a good habit that you can cultivate not just to yourself, but also to those around you. so make sure that it is something that you enjoy doing & wil not be termed as a burden to you.

some recipes to suggest:
- granny smith apple + celery (reduce weight & ease the joints)
- grapes + pineapple (
- watermelon (with skin) & lime

happy hunting

You are welcome!

Thanks a lot for the great info, you poison me like a promoter

May i know is there any shop selling it? where to order spare parts? most of the korean car have expensive parts, not sure if applicable here as well

me using hurom

Hi Popice,

Is it still the right move for Hurom? mind to share your experience and where you get it? I can't find it from Harvey Norman

being using it more than 1 yr.....no hassle but actually the fruit is expensive.....hehehe. bought in penang with free gift.

i ordered online via hurom.my
you can view more info in there...payment via paypal
item also received in good condition & as advertised.
the motor itself has 10 year warranty...so no worries for me

i am not a promoter, just someone who is tired of changing juicer from one brand to another

not to name any other juicer brands out there, but based on my experience, hurom lasts longer & easier to become a habit to me...so i stick to it.

I'm using Breville, not a slow juicer but so far serving me fine. Bought it due to the juice seller beside my office using it as well.

1000W motor so it is quite loud during operation.

On average about 3 granny smith apples for a cup of juice.
