Top 5 Single Gear Masticating Juicers
There is plethora of single gear juicers available in the market with varied features. And it is a difficult task to pick the best of them. But given a choice I will rate the following five at the top of the chart. Let us take a look at them one by one.
Omega Vert330 Juicer
Omega Vert is a single gear masticating juicer that operates on low speed juicing mechanism as used by other masticating juicers. The juicer has a RPM (rotations per minute) of 70 which is way behind 3000~7000 RPM in a centrifugal juicer. However, the low speed does not generate any heat in the juicer which keeps the living enzymes and other vitamins intact. The slow process also leaves the pulp absolutely dry.
The Omega Vert juicer is also unique in its design. The auger is fat and round instead of the long and slim auger that we see in other masticating juicers. The juicer has an upright built unlike the side extracting masticating juicers. This not only makes the juicer good to look at but also produces a smaller foot print.
The auger crushes the produce effectively and extracts the deeply seated nutrients. The pulp is pressed and squeezed more than once for maximum juice yield. The juice comes out of the front spout. There is a separate spout for the pulp to come out. The juice is un-oxidized and free of foam.
The juicer has a durable built and is made of non-toxic sturdy material. The silent machine weighs 11.5 pounds and will sit very stably on your kitchen counter. There is no chance of ‘slipping’ when being used.
The juicer is available with a hopper, auger, two strainers, juice bowls, cleaning brush and auto cleaning brush. Assembling the juicer is a breeze. Cleaning it is easy too. The automatic cleaning brush is actually silicon wiper blades that clean the sides of the juicing bowl. The self-cleaning feature saves you time of manual cleaning. Clean the parts of the juicer by rinsing them under running water. Omega Vert will function just as a juicer. It doesn’t have multi-functional capacities. The juicer has a single phase induction type motor.
Hurom Slow Juicer HU-100
This is also a single gear juicer with an upright built. It makes 80 rotations per minute. The slow spinning allows production of high quality juice that is rich in living enzymes, vitamins and phytochemicals. The richly flavored and colored juice is free of foam. The low speed prevents oxidation and therefore the juice enjoys a longer shelf-life.
The fat, round and strong auger crushes the produce and brings out the nutrients present in the cell membranes. The silent juicer has a dual process of juicing. The produce is crushed and thereby pressed and squeezed to extract the juice out of it. The silent and heavy juicer takes less of your kitchen space. It is made of non-toxic and high quality material. Assembling and cleaning the juicer is easy. It is available with a hopper, auger, two strainers, juice bowls, cleaning brush and auto cleaning brush. The automatic cleaning brush lightens the hectic task of cleaning the juicer. You can clean the juicer by washing the parts in running water. Hurom Slow juicer is fitted with a single phase induction motor.
