Single Auger Juicer  This type of juicer is newer
to the juicing scene and provides some advantages over other juicers.
It operates by using a single auger that rotates at a low revolutions per
minute (rpm), typically about 80 rpms. The fruit and vegetables are
squeezed and pressed while moving forward as the juice flows into one
receptacle, and the pulp into a separate receptacle. Low RPM juicers
preserve nutrient value as there is less heat, friction, and oxidation.
This type of juicer is easy to clean and will juice wheatgrass and leafy
greens with excellent efficiency. The single augur juicer is
somewhat slower than centrifugal juicers, especially on carrots.
Great Versatility: makes nut butters, frozen fruit desserts, baby food and
can make pasta shapes like spaghetti and linguine.
Recommendation:
Omega
8003 (white color), Twin Gear Juicer  This type of juicer uses
inter-meshing stainless steel
 twin
gears to squeeze and press fruits and vegetables. It operates at
less than 200 RPM so nutrient value is high and the effective squeezing by
twin gears produces highest yield.The twin gear juicer will juice all fruits and vegetables including wheatgrass and leafy greens, make pasta shapes, nut butters and frozen fruit desserts. These juicers are larger and heavier than other juicers. There is a longer cleaning time and they are more expensive that other juicers. They are preferred by raw food enthusiasts because of the high nutrient value and high yield.

The
basic centrifugal juicer processes the fruits and vegetab
les
by contact
with the shredder disc at high speed. The spinning basket holds the
pulp inside and the juice passes through holes in the stainless steel
basket and exits through the spout at the front. This juicer type
can make about one quart of juice before the juicer must be stopped, the
pulp removed, and re-assembled. Ideal type of a juicer for one or two
people. Good yield. Longer cleanup time. Will not
juice wheatgrass.
This
type of juicer is generally easier to operate and clean than the standard
centrifugal juicer. As the fruits and vegetables are fed into the
chute, the pulp is separated from the juice and is deposited into a
canister at the back of the juicer. There is no need to stop and
clean out the juicer until the juicing session is complete. Ideal
for a family or someone juicing larger quantities of fruits and
vegetables. Good yield, but slightly less than the standard
centrifugal juicers. Easy to clean. Will not juice
wheatgrass.
The Champion Juicer
masticates or "chews" the fruits and vegetables to extract the juice.
It uses an auger
with blades
(teeth) to grind and then squeeze the juice. It
has more versatility than the centrifugal juicers. The Champion
homogenizes, makes nut butters, baby foods and fruit desserts. This
juicer is heavier than most juicers and generally considered to be less
attractive than conventional juicers. Household and heavy duty
commercial models available.
