Drinking veggie and fruit juice is a convenient and perfect way to increase important nutrients your body needs. If you are new to juicing, it can be a bit of a challenge finding the right one for you with the huge array of models on the market today.One thing you will see very quickly is that there are really two main categories that juicers fall in; masticating juicers and centrifugal juicers. The centrifugal juicer is a better choice for beginners because it is easy and costs considerably much less than the masticating juicer.
It also provides you with a clean juice that is much easier for children to drink and a lot healthier than no juice of store bought juice. Masticating juicers squash and slowly make your juice from fresh produce, which is great and recommended, however, because it is cold pressed or "live", it will be a bit bitty as well which children tend not to like.
This is why many people turn to the centrifugal juicers when they are either just getting started juicing or have children.
