It can be difficult to choose a juicer, what with the multitude of options that are available out there. This is a good thing sure, but at the same time it can make the process of shopping for a juicer confusing and quite frustrating. Especially if you have never owned a juicer before, you will no doubt be intimated by the wealth of juicers staring back at you from off the shelves.

Everyone wants a high quality, durable and affordable juicer, one that is also aesthetically appealing so that they can leave it out on the countertop, especially since it will probably be being used on a regular basis. If this is what you are looking for, your best bet is going to be to go with an Oscar juicer.

Why Oscar?

There are many reasons as to why you should choose an Oscar juicer. One of the biggest reasons that consumers love Oscar juicers is because of how affordable they are.

Orange Juicers: Not Just For Breakfast Anymore

You may have heard amazing things about the power of certain foods to prevent chronic illness and the breakdown of cells from aging.  Many of these foods are on the expensive end of things, but one great source of antioxidants can be purchased by the dozen for only a few dollars: oranges.

You may not feel excited about the common orange: after all, it’s available all over the place, and with the inedible peel it can be messy to eat.  An orange juicer conquers this while providing an easy way to get all the valuable nutrients that oranges offer, including folate, potassium, Vitamin B6, Thiamine, Niacin, and fiber.

Homemade orange juice also contains limonoids.  These molecules are what lend the citrusy smell we associate with oranges.  Because they can add a bitter taste, sometimes mass juice producers filter it from the juice, but limonoids are driving research that provides evidence that they are natural cancer fighters and pesticides.  Making yourself a fresh glass of OJ every morning with your orange juicer may be the biggest favor you can do for your health and longevity.

But Which Orange Juicer Is The One?

Buying an orange juicer can be like car shopping; there’s a huge range of orange juicers available.   Do you want a Rolls Royce, a Toyota, or a 16-passenger van?  On one end of things, you can buy a very low-upkeep manual juicer that fits over a pitcher.  Simply cut an orange in half opposite to the stem’s axis, press and grind.  A few oranges later, you have a glass of juice so fresh it’s practically bursting with flavor.

You can then step up to electric juicers, for the juice barista and consumer alike.  That electric motor makes life a bit easier, and a little shopping around for a model with easy clean-up is definitely worthwhile.  These models, also called reamers, generally extract a larger portion of juice than non-appliance manual types.  They come in a wide range of horsepower and wattage.  If you’re just making yourself a glass for breakfast, you can grab a nice one for under a hundred dollars easily.

The next step on the orange juicer scale are large-scale automatic juicers.  These are perfect for the restauranteur, and are usually prominently displayed for their theatrical quality.  These have a fairly large footprint and can produce a lot of juice in a short amount of time—you can also expect to spend a few grand on them.

If you think you may want one of these orange juicers, find one with a large amount of transparency; that way you can really get the appeal of the process.  Often operating with ramps and conveyor belts, these larger machines take whole oranges, split them in half, and juice them right in front of your eyes.  It’s very cool to watch, and can act as a great draw for customers and little ones.  Whatever orange juicer you pick, make sure you save some juice for yourself!
