1. Choosing Between Slow Juicers and Traditional Juicers - Which One to Go For?
With its outstanding functionality, slow juicers have asserted their position as the 'champion' in kitchen appliances. Many wise mothers are willing to give absolute points to slow juicers when compared to traditional juicers. Let's explore the 'golden' machine in the world of juicers!
1. Juicing Technology
Traditional juicers (also known as centrifugal juicers) extract water from pulp using centrifugal force. The machine is designed with a rotating disc with sharp blades and a filter mesh.
The operating principle is as follows: when you put fruits into the machine, the sharp blades rotate at an extremely fast speed, grinding the fruits into small pieces and separating the water from the pulp. Due to the high-speed operation, up to 2,400 revolutions per minute, the resulting juice often contains many bubbles, making it easy to separate water and reducing the amount of nutrients in the fruits and ingredients.
In contrast, slow juicers do not use sharp blades but press fruits under the force of a screw. When fruits are fed into the slow juicer, the spiral screw will slowly feed the material into the filter mesh, almost without creating any centrifugal force and friction. The fruits are slowly crushed at a speed of only about 60 revolutions per minute, retaining almost all enzymes and nutrients, with vitamin levels in the fruits being 5-6 times higher than traditional juicers. This technology also minimizes noise and extends the operating time of the machine (it can operate continuously for 25 to 45 minutes depending on the machine model).
2. Quality of Juiced Water
This is what makes countless homemakers fall in love with slow juicers. Thanks to the screw press technology with slow rotations, slow juicers produce excellent juice with a delightful aroma and pure taste.

While regular juicers often produce separated, bubbly, and wet pulp juices, slow juicers double the juice yield, producing non-separated and bubble-free juices. The resulting juice not only contains rich nutrients but is also delicious and visually appealing.

3. Juicing Ingredients
Typically, people use blenders to extract juice from soft fruits like bananas, watermelon, kiwi, and only use fruit juicers for harder fruits like apples, pears, and pineapples, as conventional juicers struggle to extract water from soft fruits.
Slow juicers can turn frozen fruits into snow-like sorbet
Slow juicers can conquer every 'softness' level of the ingredients you want to juice. From soft fruits like grapes, strawberries, bananas, pomegranates, watermelon, to various vegetables like watercress, kale, and duckweed. They can efficiently extract even the most watery hard fruits like apples, pineapples, pears, carrots, etc. Some high-end slow juicers, such as Hurom, can even juice frozen fruits to create incredibly delicious and enticing sorbets for the summer.
4. Durability of the Machine
Thanks to its smooth operation and low heat generation, slow juicers have a lifespan 4-5 times longer than regular juicers. More importantly, even after many years, a slow juicer ensures the pulp is squeezed 'as new,' satisfying even the pickiest moms. With premium slow juicers like Hurom, manufacturers confidently offer extended warranties, up to 10 years.
Slow juicers not only have a long lifespan but are also very easy to clean
It's evident that in the battle between slow juicers and traditional juicers, slow juicers have easily emerged victorious. Currently, in the market, slow juicers range from 3 million VND to 10 million VND, depending on their functionality and durability. Get yourself a slow juicer now to enjoy homemade, nutrient-rich, and delicious juice every day!
