Juicers and blenders

First, you need to figure out what you're going to use it for. If it's for fruit juice, you need a juicer, and if you use it for cocktails, smoothies, sauces and cooking, then you probably need a blender. For most kitchen tasks, a stick blender is also a really good tool. There are manual juicers for different needs such as: Orange juice, lemon, pomegranate, etc. For mixed fruit juice, a Santos Centrifugal Juicer is the perfect choice.

Be very thorough with your cleaning, as pulp will be very sticky and has a tendency to stick incredibly well. Filters and blades should be checked often, so you are sure to have a machine in top shape when it is needed.

A blender can make a lot of noise, so if noise is a problem, you should consider finding a model that has a sound shield fitted. This will reduce the noise by approx. 50% Some blenders have jugs that cannot withstand being put in the dishwasher, as machine soap and rinsing will destroy the impregnation that protects the jug.
