It's been sometime since I last post entry about the usage of my juicer...
It's been more than a month since I got this juicer...
That doesn't mean that I haven't been using it... Haa! I had made soy bean milk (coarse strainer), almond milk (coarse strainer), orange juice (fine strainer) and banana smoothie (fine strainer)!
Sorry, no pics as I was in a rush when making all these (on different days of course!) Just a quick tip to share with all as one of my lesson learnt...
When making Banana smoothie...
Tip#1 Do not freeze the entire banana, try to peel them before freezing
Why is this so? Because when the skin turned hard, it's challenging to peel the skin properly...
Tip#2 Keep the rubber unblock at the bottom of the juicing unit
This allows the 'pulp' which is the smoothie to come off unit more easily
I'll share some pics next time when I do it correctly next time... Anyway, it tastes pretty good this batch... so just some pointers to note.... Cheers~*
Hi I chanced upon your blog while looking for reviews on slow juicer. Thanks for your detailed review and it makes me pretty interested to get this too.
ReplyDeleteI am not too keen on the korean brands (hurom, coway) as warranty or repair maybe a hassle.
Will you recommend this juicer for someone who is intending to do almost daily juicing of veg (celery, cumcumber, some greens) and fruits?
Does it have only 1 strainer?
Thanks very much!
Hi applegreen, Many Thanks for dropping by! (Sorry for my late response)...
DeleteOn Warranty
Hurom - If it's purchased from distributor in Singapore, there'll be local 10 yrs warranty. My friend has a juicing stall using Hurom's juicer, so there's no doubt about its durability. The only reason why I didn't get Hurom was due to my budget.
On Daily juicing
Vegetables
Cucumber and celery will surely be fine. Just ensure that celery is chopped into 1-1.5 inches before feeding to the juicer to prevent it from getting stuck at pulp outlet. As for leaves, I hadn't try but based on some youtube sharing from others, leaves need to be bundled in bulk for maximum yield of juice from leaves.
Fruits
As long as the seed is not too big, I don't see problem with it. Might want to take note when juicing soft fruits like berries/grapes, you can probably re-juice the pulp to yield slightly more output. Working great on oranges, grapefruits and apples ;p
This brand - Ajuicer that I had purchased during GSS comes with 1 yr local warranty, 2 strainers and a tofu mold but there's no recipe so I'm not sure how to use that mold yet... Haa!
In a nutshell, if you have budget concern and not a heavy user, this brand that I'm using will be a great deal to meet your needs. Just observe the instruction to rest the juicer every 30 mins to prevent overheating of its motor. Hope this help! Cheers ^^
