How important is a slow speed juicer compared to fast speed?

The first juicer I ever had only had 1 speed... fast.

So how important is it to have a juicer with slow and fast speeds? Well, it's nice but not mandatory.

If your budget allows you to buy a juicer with high and low speeds, then it's worth considering. But if your budget only allows you to buy a one speed juicer, then that's okay.

There are always tricks or ways to juice vegetables that are best juiced at slow speeds using high speeds such as wrapping the vegetables in other vegetables... or combining the slow speed vegetables in between two high speed vegetables.

Most masticating juicers that I am aware of only have one speed and it is generally speaking, a slower speed than a centrifugal juicer. But as a masticating juicer literally squishes the juice out of the vegetables, a slower speed is better and only one speed is really needed.

Do you have questions about juicing vegetables and/or fruits?

Do you have questions about natural health and healing?

If so, Ask Jesse a question:

Some questions and answers may appear online to help others learn more about juicing, juicing techniques and about health and while we're at it, about happiness too!

If you really do not want your question and answer to appear online, just let me know.

Not all questions and answers will appear online. Instead, I like to publish those question and answers that can most benefit others.
