What are the advantages of a slow juicer ? What makes a slow juicer superior to a regular fast juicer? These are undoubtedly questions you're wondering about while researching a juicer that suits your family's needs. This article will analyze 8 advantages of slow juicers to help answer those questions. Please read on!

1. Produces up to 30% more juice.

The difference in the design of the pressing shaft and the force exerted by slow juicers and conventional high-speed juicers results in a 30% difference in juicing efficiency. High-speed juicers use a high-speed grinding plate to crush food, then separate the water from the pulp using centrifugal force, leaving a large amount of water trapped in the pulp.

Meanwhile, slow juicers utilize the principle of torque and a gearbox. Specifically, the drive shaft applies force to the pressing impeller, helping to retain 95% of the water from fruits and vegetables. Therefore, with the same amount of fruit, a slow juicer can produce up to 30% more juice than conventional fast juicers.

For example, according to a study in the Journal of the Korean Society of Biotechnology and Bioengineering, when juicing 50g of pears, a slow juicer yielded 22.3 ml, while a fast juicer yielded 18.3 ml.

With a maximum juice extraction efficiency of up to 95%, almost completely removing the pulp from fruits and vegetables, slow juicers are one of the advantages that many users appreciate.

2. Retains high levels of nutrients.

The slower the juicing speed, the more nutrients are retained because a high rotation speed generates a lot of heat, affecting the structure of nutrients in fruits and vegetables.

Slow juicers operate at speeds of only about 45-85 revolutions per minute (up to 400 times slower than the approximately 18,000 revolutions per minute of conventional fast juicers), helping to retain up to 98% of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables. Korean experts* have shown that slow juicers are better at preserving enzymes and antioxidants in fruits and vegetables compared to fast juicers.

At the same time, the ability to retain up to 30% more juice also confirms that slow juicers produce juice with a higher nutrient content compared to conventional fast juicers.

The slow rotation speed and low heat generation of slow juicers help to preserve the enzymes and nutrients in the fruit.

3. The finished juice is smooth, visually appealing, has little foam, and does not separate.

The slow movement of the juicing shaft ensures maximum nutrient extraction from fruits and vegetables, resulting in juices with rich, vibrant colors, minimal foam, and no separation. Many slow juicers are also equipped with PUREMAX filter technology , featuring an ultra-fine 0.35 mm filter diameter, ensuring thorough filtration of pulp and residue, with a pulp content of only 2% , a three-fold reduction compared to conventional slow juicers.

SUNHOUSE's PUREMAX technology filters out pulp three times more effectively than conventional slow juicers.

Conversely, the high heat generated by a high-speed juicer, combined with the air entering during the juicing process, oxidizes the resulting juice, resulting in a less appealing color. The centrifugal force used for water separation creates numerous air bubbles, simultaneously breaking down the cellular structure of fruits and vegetables, releasing components such as pectin and fiber. This pectin and fiber initially combine with water to form a thick mixture, then settle to the bottom of the cup, causing water separation.

Slow juicers produce a rich, flavorful juice with minimal foam and no separation.

4. It can juice a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, from soft to hard, even challenging fibrous leafy greens.

Slow juicers can handle not only soft, juicy fruits and vegetables, but also many ingredients that conventional juicers can't, such as hard fruits (carrots, guavas, starfruit, etc.) and fibrous leafy vegetables (celery, spinach, etc.). This outstanding advantage of slow juicers allows you to unleash your creativity and try a variety of juice recipes, providing your family with nutritious, delicious, and visually appealing glasses of juice.

Slow juicers are capable of juicing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, including fibrous leafy greens.

5. Capable of making fruit ice cream.

Some slow juicer models can even appeal to younger users because of their ability to make refreshing ice cream from fruit. To make ice cream, simply freeze the fruit for 8-12 hours , then prepare it and put it into the slow juicer. The juicer will immediately produce a delicious, creamy ice cream with a smooth, thick texture, retaining the natural sweetness of the fruit.

You can check out some slow juicer models from SUNHOUSE that are equipped with a large-slotted filter, such as the SHD5515 and SHD5518, which allow you to easily create refreshing fruit smoothies in just 5 minutes.

The frozen fruit juicing function allows you to create a cool, smooth ice cream, preserving its natural flavor, in just 5 minutes.

6. Operates smoothly, with low noise levels, and is safe to use.

Unlike fast juicers and blenders, which typically only operate for about 5-10 minutes due to the high heat generated, slow juicers, with their low heat generation, can operate for up to 45 minutes. Slow juicers also produce less noise than conventional juicers.

To provide users with the best experience, some SUNHOUSE slow juicer models are equipped with durable motors, safe materials, and operate smoothly, minimizing noise and vibration during use. The products also feature a safety lock and automatic shut-off function when the machine is overloaded due to juicing too many ingredients at once, ensuring user safety and extending the machine's lifespan.

Slow juicers are equipped with durable motors that operate quietly and are safe for users.

7. Less prone to jamming during operation.

Because it uses a slow-rotating screw to crush the ingredients and gradually separate the juice from the pulp, the juicing process with a slow juicer is very gentle and smooth, minimizing clogging due to pulp blockage. Additionally, some slow juicer models are equipped with a reverse function (press the “REV” button) that rotates the screw in the opposite direction, easily pushing out any trapped pulp.

The advantage of a slow juicer over a fast juicer is that it reduces the risk of pulp clogging because it doesn't use blades to grind the pulp.

8. Easy to clean

After juicing, cleaning a slow juicer is very easy and doesn't take much time or effort because the machine is designed with easily detachable parts, much simpler than conventional juicers. Some models even have a self-cleaning mode; you just need to pour water in and turn on the switch, and the machine will automatically clean itself without needing to disassemble it.

Slow juicers have easily detachable parts, making them convenient and saving time and effort during cleaning.

Should you buy a slow juicer?

From the above analysis, it can be said that a slow juicer is a worthwhile household appliance to invest in. This product would be extremely suitable for those who:

I like smooth, creamy juices with appealing flavors and natural colors.
Regularly juice a variety of fiber-rich leafy vegetables.
Focus on the amount of nutrients retained in the finished juice product.
If you want to enjoy smooth, fruity ice cream that retains its natural sweetness.

To choose the right product for your family, you can refer to some of the slow juicer models from SUNHOUSE that are trusted and highly rated by users, such as SHD5515, SHD5518, SHD5516, SHD5503, and SHD5512.
