Recently, many people have been paying closer attention to their health. We have become more interested in feeding our body the nutrients and vitamins that it needs by incorporating more vegetables and fruits.

A manual or electric juicer is something that you may be interested in looking into. A manual juicer is one where you use your hands to create juice, while the electric juicer runs on electricity.

If you are concerned about energy, a manual juicer may be right for you. You won’t be cluttering your counter top, either, as they are small. You will usually find a manual juicer that is around 200mm deep and 300mm high and it shouldn’t weigh more than 5kg. They are not difficult to clean and come in many shapes and a variety of colors. You won’t spend a lot of money on one, either.

You will, however, expend a lot of your own energy juicing things. An electric juicer is viewed as much more convenient. You won’t waste much time when juicing large quantities of fruits or vegetables when using a high speed juicer. A manual juicer is significantly lighter in weight than an electric juicer. You will use about 300 volts of electricity with a Philips juicer, which weighs in at around 55kg.

You may also be interested in a specialty juicer. If you will be using it for citrus fruit, then look into a Philips citrus juicer. You will make a lot of citrus juice, much quicker, if you use a citrus juicer. When you are juicing, you won’t have to peel the fruit that you are using, with a citrus juicer.

Another option that you may be interested in, is the Philips juice extractor. This may be exactly what you need if the items you are juicing are a bit more difficult, like vegetables or wheat grass. They aren’t heavy, usually less than 3kg, making them significantly lighter than a regular juicer. Every nutrient available will come out of the vegetables you are juicing as there is no left over head.

Depending on who you are and your needs, there is a juicer by Philips for you. Research the wide variety that is available to figure out what you are looking for.
