These data will surely help you a lot. By first technical differentiation, you can choose between an electric juicer and a manual juicer.
Electric Juicers
Electric juicers are normally more sophisticated types of juicer machines. Different technologies used determine the juicer type and name:
Centrifugal Juicer Centrifugal juicers are the oldest electric types of juicer machines. As the name tells, this juicer type uses centrifugal force for separating juice from pulp. Therefore, centrifugal juicers are normally quite noisy and they produce much heat. However, this electric juicer type is easy to use and easy to clean and for this reason a very good choice for beginners. Since they usually have a big feeding chute and the juicing process is fast, you can get your healthy drinks with a centrifugal juice extractor very fast. In case that you intend to juice also green leafy vegetables, wheatgrass, sprouts, and herbs you should be aware that these types of juicer machines are not the most appropriate for that purpose.
Masticating
Single Auger / Single Gear Juicer The working principle of these types of juicer machines is completely different as with centrifugal juicers. The heart of masticating juicers is an auger, a “warm-like” gear, which masticates (grinds and chews) various fruits and vegetables and extracts juice. The whole juicing process is done at very low spinning speed, these types of juicer machines are more universal, juice yield with majority fruit and vegetable types, including leafy vegetables and sprouts, is better than with centrifugal juicers. Because of the low spinning speed more enzymes are preserved, less foam is created, and the juice keeps its freshness longer.
Vertical Masticating
Vertical Dual-Stage Single Auger Juicer A vertical juicer is actually a masticating juicer, upgraded with the dual stage juicing action. Therefore, juice yield is even better than with horizontal masticating juicer types, the juicing process is due to a bigger feeding chute and a larger hopper faster, and juice quality is very good. A vertical masticating juicer is very easy to use and it is very quiet when operating. Due to the integrated self-cleaning system and quick disassembly and assembly, a vertical masticating juicer is amazingly easy to clean. In addition, these types of juicer machines are lighter than horizontal single auger juicers and because of their upright design they require less counter space.
Triturating
Twin Gear / Dual Gear Juicer The operation principle of dual gear juicer machines is called the triturating process. Through the dual-gear juicing process fresh produce is firstly triturated (literally crushed resp. squashed) into pulp from which juice is extracted in the second step.Juice yield with any kind of fruits and vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, and sprouts is the highest. Due to the very low gear spinning during the juicing process almost no heat is produced, with these types of juicer machines you get the healthiest foamless all natural drinks. They are full of enzymes and other healthy substances, their freshness can be preserved longer.

Electric Wheatgrass Juicer The operating principle of an electric wheat grass juicer is actually the same as with single gear masticating juicers. However, the design of this designated juicer type is a little bit different. This difference enables the best juice yield with juicing wheatgrass and the best wheatgrass juice quality. As the name tells, a dedicated electric wheatgrass juicer is an excellent choice for juicing wheatgrass, leafy greens, and sprouts. But, do not expect the best juicing performance when juicing stiff or even soft fruits and vegetables. This dedicated juicer is not as multipurpose as majority of other types of juicer machines.
Electric Citrus Juicer
Electric citrus juicers are the simplest electric juice squeezers with a very simple juicing principle; a spinning cone extracts juice from a citrus, which is placed on a reamer.True, the citrus juice quality is not the best, but … this is a good choice when you would like to prepare a small juice amount from an orange, a grapefruit, or other citrus very quickly. Electric citrus juicers are very simple to use, they are very easy to clean. And last but not least ... these simple juicer types are inexpensive option for everybody to get to all natural homemade citrus juice.

Manual Juicers
Manual types of juicer machines are not as sophisticated as electric juicers, but they can be a very good option for juicing smaller fruit and vegetable juice amounts or if you intend to prepare healthy all natural juices only now and then. Manual juicers are normally smaller and lighter, you do not need lots of extra space on your counter (if at all), and you can easily take them with when travelling. The advantage of these juicer types is also that they are easy to use and easier to clean than electric types of juicer machines. Most well known manual juicers are:
Manual Wheatgrass Juicer This is a dedicated manual wheatgrass juicer type.Its operating principle is the same as with electric wheatgrass juicers. However, a manual wheatgrass juicer is much simpler to use and to clean than electric juicers, it is smaller, lighter, and very handy. In addition, juice quality this type of juicer machine provides is very good and juice yield is normally also excellent. Yet, the juicing process is slow, so these types of juicer machines are not the right choice if you intend to prepare bigger wheatgrass juice amounts.
Manual Citrus Juicer Who does not know a manual citrus juicer that is also called a manual citrus reamer? This simple citrus juice squeezer is a simple, fast solution to juice smaller citrus juice amounts. True, there’s a lot of pulp in juice, but … a manual citrus juicer enables you an easy access to some healthy natural substances very quickly. There are lots of different models of hand citrus juicers available and they are made from different materials, from glass, ceramic, plastic to metal. Due to the fact that many of the vitamines are metal sensitive we would not recommend a metal manual citrus juicer.
All above described types of juicer machines provide fresh juices, full of minerals, vitamins, enzymes, some of them more than the others do. However, there is also a juicer type on the market, which cooks the fruits and/or vegetables: Steam Juicer The result is not fresh, healthy juice, but steamed juice.
-------------------------------------- We had bought our first centrifugal juicer many years ago and we had started juicing fresh, healthy fruit juices, later also vegetable juices, and fruit vegetable juices. We had been sure that our juice extractor had been the best juicer for us, but only until we bought a new one. It is true, it was more expensive than the first fruit machine, but in a very short time, we realized that was a very good purchase. Fruit and vegetable juicing with our first electric juicer had really been a tough job. It had demanded from us a lot of work and time, especially with chopping fruits and vegetables, cleaning the blade, and emptying the pulp bin and the juice collector. In addition, the pulp had remained very wet; lots of good nutrients had been lost. Waste of money and time. Anyway, we have learnt from our mistakes and we hope you will too. Do not hurry. Before you make your decision, we recommend you to study our information about characteristics of different types of juicer machines and health benefits of fruit and vegetable juices well. You should really make a good deal, which will bring you welfare in a very short time. With regular vegetable and/or fruit juicing and consumption of homemade vegetable and fruit juices, you will notice big changes in your feeling and your appearance already after one week.
