    Nama J2 is an excellent juicer and sorbet maker.
    Yes, quality juicers are expensive.
    However, I have had one of my juicers since 1980 and it still works well.
    I will purchase the Nama J2 as homemade fresh juice and sorbet are healthy and the Nama J2 is easy to clean.

    I have a Breville juicer. I use it to make a ginger, turmeric, apple juice. It works very well. I also eat other foods with fiber so that’s not an issue for me. It’s an older juicer so when it dies I will be looking at a mastication juicer.

    Let's be honest, you guys are behind the curve. The latest innovation is batch juicing... Think Nama J2, Hurom H400 or Kuvings Auto 10. That's where the market is right now. You guys are reviewing juicers that were state of the art 5+ years ago. Cleaning your juicer is an art. You put through a cup of water before cleaning. Then you scrub gently with an o cedar sponge.

    I've never understood juicers. It's like a blender... but it removes fiber which equals less nutrition. Also juicers are less versatile and a pain to clean and cost roughly the same amount if not more. Like, why? I don't get it.

    • @lsamoa
      @lsamoa 2 місяці тому

      I suppose they're useful when you've just had a wisdom tooth removed and can only ingest things through a straw. Or if you're into making sorbet. Otherwise, I don't see the point. Just use a blender/mixer and a strainer.

  • @fuzzylon
    @fuzzylon 2 місяці тому

    Technically, eating fruit and veg in the normal way is more beneficial for health than drinking the juice (even if the juice does contain fibre) - so juicers are for encouraging people who wouldn't eat the fruit and veg whole to at least get some nutritional benefit from them - or because juice is what you want.
    For me, I bought the juicing attachment for my Kenwood Chef years ago and used it about once. The chore of cleaning it far outweighed the benefits.

    A juicer could be useful for extracting juice to make jellies, but I don't consider juices on their own to be particularly healthy.
