A fairly new juicer type on the market is the vertical low speed or slow speed juicer. Vertical low speed juicers squeeze fruit and vegetables to extract their juice as opposed to traditional masticating juicers that grind and chew food.

Low speed juicers squeeze food via a ribbed augur or screw that turns and squeezes the food within the neck of the juicer. This squeezing action allows the food’s juice to maintain it’s natural color and taste while maintaining important vitamins and minerals.

The benefits of a slow speed juicers include:

• All In One Convenience - Slow speed juicers have the good qualities of a centrifugal juicer – size and ease of cleaning – along with the juicing efficiency and maximized output of a masticating juicer.
• An Easy Clean - If making different juice recipes at one time, you can pour water through the hopper, between juice recipes, quickly cleaning out the previous fruit, vegetables and leafy greens.
• Low RPMs - 70 to 80 RPMs which juices food in an efficient manner and limits heat and oxidation which can harm a food’s nutrients.
• Unique Low Speed Juicing System - Crush and squeeze your fruit, vegetables and leafy greens instead of grinding, chewing or cutting. Preserve the juice’s nutrients.
