Maybe because I've been cooped up at home since Sunday (thanks to Maring and habagat) that upon seeing the juice extractors at an appliance store in Greenhills, I didn't have a hard time making a decision to buy one. I've been reading a lot of articles about fruit and vegetable juices and its health benefits and I feel that investing in good health is better than investing in a health card. Also, my trusted blender needs a rest (not that its broken or anything but I just want it to rest for a while).
I've been eyeing an expensive brand at first but when the sales person tried to convince me that that juicer's quality is better because it is Japanese made, I asked where the other one was made. I opted to get the 3D Juice Extractor because it is Philippine made. :)
Features:
Durable stainless steel cutter disc
Micro Mesh Filter
Safety lock and overheating protection device
Wide feeding tube
500 ml capacity
250W
PhP 1,295
I wanted to get the other design with a much modern-looking color (gray) but when I asked about its wattage, its 350W compared to the 250W of this blue one so I ended up getting this. Another plus is the fact that this has a 2 pulse feature while the other one has only 1. Also, it has a brush cleaner included in the box while the other one has none. Not bad, right? Happy happy happy! Except for the color- hahaha.
I already road-tested the juicer twice already. My first juice combo was (apple + cucumber + carrot + malunggay), the second one was (apple + cucumber + carrot + ginger).
I'm glad to say that it didn't have any strange sounds such as the ingredients didn't get thru properly, it didn't get hot/overheat and it's very easy to clean. Also, the safety lock features worked perfectly since I did not properly attached the lids, the juicer remained turned OFF when I turned the dial ON.
To sum it up, this juicer is great. I'm not sure yet about its durability and how long it will last but I believe that it also depends on how one will take care of it.
