text: There are three main types of juices - citrus juicers, centrifugal juicers, and masticating juicers.\n\nThe citrus juicers are for citrus only - oranges, grapefruits and the like.\n\nMost juicers are probably the centrifugal type - they have an internal basket that goes around in a circle. These types are good for carrots, apples, etc.\n\nThe third type is generally considered the best - the masticating juicers. These juicers more or less "chew" up the vegetables and they produce more juice of better quality than the centrifugal - 24 ounces more juice per 10 pounds of carrots. \n\nThe Breville juicers are very high end centrifugal juicers and cost around $200 to $400. (800JEXL) They have a wide mouth that will fit an entire apple without cutting it first. I used a Waring JEX328 for more than two years and it worked very well for me at a much cheaper price - around $60.\n\nI recently bought a Champion 2000+ juicer, and I like it much better than the Waring juicer, and I liked the Waring juicer a lot. The Champion juicer is a masticating juicer and runs around $250. One of the nice features is that the pulp comes out the end of the tube, so you can set a large bowl there to collect it and can easily dump it and continue juicing. It's also easier to clean.\n\nI mostly juice carrots and similar vegetables. I've heard other juicers work better for wheat grass. You can also buy an attachment for the champion juicer to make nut butters and even to make flour from grains; however, if that is your primary purpose, there might be a better specialized machine.\n\nIn summary, if budget allows, I would recommend a champion juicer, and if you are on a tight budget, i would recommend the Waring centrifugal juicer.
