A fruit juicer is a very quick way to extract the juice from the fruit. There are many different types of fruit juicers. How do you know which one to choose? Well, here are some things to consider before buying one.

1. Easy to Clean? When I bought my first juicer it was a PAIN to clean. This led me to get another one. So consider what it takes to clean the machine. Some clean a lot easier than others.

2. Easy to Operate? Do you want a manual or electric juicer? If electric, consider the wattage. Some motors are 30 watts and others are 150+.

3. Price. If you are looking for a lifestyle change consider getting a professional fruit juicer. If you are looking to pull it out once a week then you may not want to pay for a professional one. You can get a basic fruit juicer for around $20 USD. A professional juicer can cost $100+ USD.

4. Size. Some juicers are small and compact while others can be a lot bigger. Depending on what your goals are you may want to consider the size.

You may also want to consider how the machine separates pulp and seeds and whether or not you can control the amount of pulp. Be sure to check out reviews once you narrow down your choices.
