Beetroot and Apples!!

Hello hello...

Finally, I am juicing a new food for the first time... It's the beetroot!!! 

Thanks to sis who decided to go on a 5 day detoxing diet... I am honored to help her by juicing fresh juices for her during these 5 days.

It was celery and cucumber yesterday. Due to time constraint, I didn't take a single pic... Sorry!

So here's today's beetroot and apple juice ^^

I haven't tried any, sis commented that it was really sweet and rich. Glad that she enjoyed the drink.

Tmr will be carrot orange, followed by orange with grapefruit juice... Last day was meant for almond milk. I had suggested that she buy off the shelf organic almond milk. It's nicer than the one I make... Hahaha >,<

2 beets (peeled) 5 apples (seeds/core removed), yielded about 2 bottles of juice.

 

Finally...

It's been a year... well, more than a year to be exact. Time flies... It passes so quickly and sneakily. Posting a 6 - month review about this juicer was just like yesterday.

Sorry that I hadn't been maintaining this blog for the past few months... for a couple of reasons.

To list the main reason, I hadn't try too many combination for juicing... its always the same few types that took place twice a month... The apples. . Oranges... grapes... carrots... soya beans... didn't want to post same thing over and over but rest assured, my juicer is still actively in use. It hadn't turn into any red (mine is wine red colour) elephant as thought by my husband.

This juicer had celebrated it's first birthday recently... It made me very delicious soya milk, which my whole family loved it so much...

I thought I should inform everyone that I'd still keep this blog open though there'd probably not be many posts. .. well, at least until I ever... ever get to juice something that I haven't tried before... so... Thank you for your time. .. and sorry for not being too active here.

Glad that we had crossed our paths... take care, folks, and bye for now ^^

Assembly of the juicer

Per request... Here's the clip, so sorry that it took such a long time for me to finally video it. Hope this is what you needed. Cheers! ^^

Orange juice... Once more

My mom passed me a bag of oranges, which I counted as 11 oranges. Okay... so I juiced them before I did 1 cup of carrots and 1 cup of celery for my parents.

This time, I did something I had not done before... I juiced the fruit from the enzyme making... wahahaha! Too bad that I juiced the lemon together, the juice from the fermented green apples and lemons turned out very sour...

Luckily I did not mix it with my enzyme that's ready for consumption. .. It tasted great ^^

Here's the thick orange juice after 1 day in fridge. I used Lock and Lock brand of container but I didn't think that means airtight... See the pulp separating from its juice? I wonder if other juicer's juice will turn out like this too...

And it still leak since u hadn't sent for repair... I didn't flush the juicer with any water in between. It just leaked... I wonder why but it wasn't leaking few months ago.... :(

And I wanted to share a pic of my first homemade green apple enzyme. Half of it had been sent to my parents home. Here's the other half... just for me! I drank a little bit this morning... and felt so drunk.... burp*!

Leak leak leak...

Okay this is odd..

I thought that the leakage only happened when flushing the juicer in between juicing but I was wrong...

I just juiced some lemons (leftover from enzyme making) without flushing the juicer...

But it still leak!!!! Oh no oh no... This is so disappointing! I'd better send it for a check or repair...

Folks, please take good care of your juicer... I had entrusted my helper with cleaning up the juicer for some time... unfortunately, she probably overlooked some details... sigh...

Leakage from juicing and Mouldy parts when the assembly was done before drying completely... yucks!

Happy New Year and here's my 6 month Review

It's been 6 months since I owned this A*Juicer, another 6 months before its warranty expired. One of the readers seek for an overall experience I had with this juicer, so, now I should sum up the good and the not so good about it.

Disclaimer: This review is solely based on the one and only piece of A*Juicer slow juicer that I owned for 6 months. It doesn't mean that all of the products would be like what I had. So, in a nutshell, this is just a humble review from my side. ("It" below refers to the A*Juicer in my house)

The Good

• It is quiet, I can juice in the morning when my kids are still sleeping
• It yields more juice than centrifugal juicer that my dad uses
• It is so easy to clean (but not true when you are only juicing 1-2 oranges, I would still use the manual way)

The Not so Good

•  It moves sometimes when juicing hard items (eg. grapes with seed)
• It didn't juice as well as centrifugal juicer when it comes to soft fruits like strawberry or kiwi. In my humble opinion, a blender probably works better for soft fruits just that the blended juice had to be consumed immediately
• It leaks whenever I flush the juicer in between juicing of different fruits... ARGHHH*

The Neutral, or rather, No Idea

• Slow juicer is well-known for the ability to keep juice fresh with its natural enzyme. It is shown on official videos that the juice doesn't get separated after setting aside for some time. Well, this is NOT TRUE for my case. I saw my carrot/ celery/ orange juice got separated into pulp and water layers after some time kept in the fridge. I'm not sure why but this is happening to my juice...
• The version that I own is 179 (with auto lock), not sure if its the lock that is not secured or for whatever reason, it's annoying to see the juicer rocks during juicing and worse, the leakage after flushing.

Overall

• My husband complained that the "real apple juice" bought from supermarket was too sweet, what juiced by ourselves tasted better
• My girl refused to drink "real orange juice" bought from  supermarket but she drank the REAL one that we juiced by oursleves
• My parents who uses centrifugal juicer often bring celery, carrots and oranges for me to juice because they have withdrawal syndrome whenever they think about cleaning their
• It will be a perfect slow juicer that is quiet, easy to clean and easy to use, only if it doesn't rock during juicing or leak during flushing
• The price of this juicer is expensive (let me finish) when it is compared to a blender or centrifugal juicer. However, this brand is selling it at a more reasonable and affordable price when compared to masticating (slow pressed) juicers from other countries
