Upright design of slow juicers have revolutionised juicer industry. Vertical slow juicer gives you benefits of masticating juicer(high yield & nutrient rich juice) and convenience(no need to cut and push stuff ) of a centrifugal machine.
Vertical masticating juicer is a style of juicer that we recommend if you want to juice little bit of everything. They will juice fruits, vegetables and greens. Although keep in mind, if you want to juice lot of greens these are not the machines we recommend. If you want to juice mostly greens, we recommend a horizontal masticating juicer like Omega 8006 or Greenstar Elite.
Also vertical masticating juicers make pulpier juice compared to any other type of juicers. But they are convenient, efficient, self feeding, and they make high quality juice.
1. Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer
Kuvings whole slow juicer is currently our favourite vertical slow juicer. There is no other slow juicer in market that have this wide feed chute. It has 3 inch wide feet chute that is comparable to centrifugal type of juicers. No need to cut and push stuff along with the pusher. Just drop your produce in the chute and let the Kuvings do the rest. Kuvings Whole Slow juicer comes with 10 year warranty and you can make nut butters and frozen fruit sorbets too.
2. Omega VSJ843
Omega was one of the first company in United States to be selling vertical style slow juicers. The Omega VSJ843 Juicer is Omega’s newest vertical style slow juicer. Previously Omega came out with VRT series. VSJ is latest and improved version of VRT series. It is currently the slowest juicer that’s available in US market. This means it operates quietly and you get long lasting nutrient rich juice. It makes less pulpier juice compared to other vertical masticating juicers and comes with 15 years warranty which is longest in industry. But you can’t make frozen fruit sorbets with Omega VSJ843.
Can the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer OR the Omega vsj843 juicer handle juicing celery without it getting wrapped up around auger or other parts?
Also, can either of these juicers handle juicing pomegranate seeds, Avocado seeds, leafy greens, soft fruits and vegetables? I know it can handle hard vegetables 🙂
Thank You for your kind reply!
Yes, both can juice any type of produce from your softest fruits to your hardest vegetables and any type of leafy green.
