Are Cheap Juicers Worth It?

- Can you buy a quality slow juicer for under $100? We bought an inexpensive juicer from a local shop and compared it to a Sana 808 (Omega VSJ843 in the USA). We have an article on our website that takes a closer look at these "copycat' juicers.

You did some good fair work, I like the video/review, thank you.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
At first I thought you were needlessly carping on that Chinese knockoff; that is, until you ran a carrot through it. Point taken.
It Hass to be, what is called the Bella Cucina, because it was back in 2012 that I saw this very model that you’re talking about in a Macy’s department store. Good thing that they no longer have it.
In my opinion ANY vertical masticating juicer that has plastic parts (other than the bowls for the juice and the pulp) is a BAD idea. There is just too much strain put on the plastic and sooner or later it will be crack. I speak from experience; I had a $400 Kuvings a few years ago whose plastic parts broke three times within a year after I bought it.
Some shops sell those cheap juicers at high prices, making them masquerade as high-quality juicers. I was tricked into buying one as I did not do my research as I did before buying my durable blender. It looked very similar to the "cheap" model in this video and it is now in the bin. The shop actually offered to sell me another one at half price, but I rejected the offer.
If that is a joyoung juicer they make spare parts. I have been using a 'capycat' joyong JYZ E9 for so many years I forget how long I have had it. It has been a workhorse for us and I can get spare parts easily. It came with a 6 year warranty but I have never had problems with it, ever. Joyoung is a very good and reputable brand and for 60 bucks compared to an omega which is what it goes up against I have had more than my money's worth. I have an ice cream option, a nutbutter grinder. It just works and works and works. I have nothing bad to say about them. They just are that good. The one you have their looks like the JYZ V5 and it is a good product as well. Lots of spare parts available and works like a charm. If its not a joyoung you may have a cheaper not off but I only buy Joyoung because the quality is so good. I do not see the reason to spend so many times more for something that does the job well. Try comparing using a joyoung and see what the difference is. I would like to see that.
Very good information... Good ammunition one going out to buy
This was very helpful.
Thank you.
I have Angel and Green star elite. Both over 10 years old. Used a lot in the past when kids were young. Now using green star much in kitchen even making small amounts pastry for noodle or pizzas. Also sorbets and stuffing. Both are best.
Both are excellent juicers with very high juice yields.
you did the hard work of explaining, why not to buy a cheap products.....
Allien Baba why?He didn't open the locker of the cheaper one,that's why the juice can not go out...did you see that?Think it works very well...
but what about the struggling motor function and burning smell of components ..... i've seen this happening with cheap products many time ......
Allien Baba Maybe urs is too cheap...I'm sorry but even the cheap one has different levels.Like if the expensive one is $300,the cheap one should be at around $100-$200. It is cheaper than the expensive one,but still has a good quality.If the one is way too cheap,how could you expect it has the similar quality with the expensive one? If it has a burning smell...be carefully...
hola! para cuando un distribuidor oficial en españa? con servicio post-venta?
shine cold press also come from china, it does a very good job and fair price
Hi, I have an omega 8005/6 the juicing screen has broken on me 5 times, I love the machine but have spent a fortune on screens, I wonder if you know of a machine that doesn’t have plastic components that brake and compromise the the juicer? I really don’t understand why omega would use such a week link component in an otherwise great product . I’m really fed up, as it always happens on a juice fast...
I own a functionally similar Sana 707, and in 6 years haven't had a broken juicing screen. My wife managed to break the homogenizing screen, but that was because there was a small stone mixed with some dried roots. Is it breaking with a variety of ingredietns, or generally with the same ingredient?
Really the only home machine with stronger components is the Angel juicer with its stainless steel screens. But it is also 3 times the price of the Omega.
EUJUICERS.COM hi it’s broken with a small stone in the root also , this time it the skin of lime that cracked the screen in half! Usually the screens break at the week point where the plastic mesh meets the housing of the screen. But I really don’t think that they should be this vulnerable to breaking because of being made of plastic...
It’s like tires,yeah cheap tires can get you to point a and b but which one is gonna last longer?cheap or quality tires.
The cheap juicer sounds like it can only handle about 5 more carrot juicing lol.
thanks
Why would you get in trouble from lawyers by showing the box? Unboxing and reviewing is literally an industry on TH-cam. They wound't dare coming after you on TH-cam, it'd be brand suicide.
You're probably right. There is so much IP theft with these knockoff juicers, I can't imagine any suit being held up. Plus, this juicer has long since left the market.
Yes... No one knows this better than us. Our books are used many times VERBATRIM... JUST POORLY TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH & passed off as ORIGINAL DISCOVERIES, etc & the twisted versions ARE AWARDED the highest international awards, while the ORIGINALS, WHICH ARE MOST DEFINITELY OLDER, are called PLAGIARIZED
I think that if someone is on a budget, they should get a cheap centrifugal juicer for hard items such a carrots and beets, etc. Then get the less expensive masticating juicer for leafy greens and other soft veggies to avoid over-stressing the motor. For about $150 they can by both types of machines.
That's a good way to get both types on a budget, or when just starting juicing. It's a good idea with the centrifugal to drink the juice immediately, since that juice can oxidize. Or just throw in half a lemon or lime, since the ascorbic acid will slow down or stop any oxidation.
EUJUICERS.COM Thank you for your reply. That’s a great tip-to use a lime to help stop oxidation. I’ll do that from now on when juicing with a centrifugal. 😃👍
I have the omega 8006 and a Brevelle. To be honest, I like them both. In the morning, if I do carrot, celery, apple, sweet potato, beets, and something else hard… I use the Brevelle all the time. I drink my juice as soon as I use the machine. Taste just as good in my opinion and is easy to clean. If I’m doing anything soft or greens, the Omega hands-down. Sometimes it just depends on my mood. The Omega is actually a lot easier to clean. I definitely like not cutting anything. If I have time, I would rather use the omega and cut everything up and take a few extra minutes. That said, I am going to try one of these cheap vertical juicers for greens and potentially more. For the money, as long as you’re not abusing the juicer and you understand the limits, I don’t see how one can go wrong..
@@brockdelorenzo7505 I agree. Because fruits and vegetables all have so many different textures, it's best to have at least two types of juicers for the best extraction depending on what fruit or vegetable you are juicing. I like the Breville juicer and the Omega. Those of those are good choices.
Nice video, but you weren't impartial enough for it to be deemed a fair comparison. The yield from the Sama was clearly 500ml rather than 510-520ml as you stated. Still way better than the cheap juicer.
Part of the problem is our table wasn't perfectly flat back when we filmed this, and could cause the yield to appear higher from the back, although that should have shown a higher yield for the second juicer as well. We've since leveled it but your point is valid.
Omega VSJ843QR or Kuvings new EVO820 I am in confusion , price not a constraint. Pls help
It depends if the larger feed chute is important for you. The EVO uses a trap-door feeding chute, same as the commercial Sana Horeca and Kuvings Chef models. It means less prep time, however wide-mouths will still jam on large pieces of carrots or beets. The Omega VSJ843/Sana 808 is a consistently top performer for yield and juice quality. But honestly, both the Omega and Kuvings are excellent machines. One advantage to the Kuvings is it has an available homogenizing screen (included with the Exclusive model) which can make sorbet, nut butter, etc. if that is important for you. The VSJ cannot do this.
I think it was South Korea made the first juicers
The brand of this copycat juicer, is called the Bella
I'm sure it is a generic machine offered under many brands. This one in the video was actually called a "VitaMax", piggybacking on the famous "VitaMix" brand. Maybe VitaMix found out about it and forced them to change the name.
Lol
Can you please do which hurom jucier is the best??
We don't have access to all of Hurom's models. However, in the limited testing we have done with them, we like the third generation Hurom's with the Alpha technology (like the HZ series).
Hi sir,
May I know the Vivdia products are made from where?
They are produced in South Korea
It was interesting, I guess the Vivdia Vaccum blender came out earlier, but really confused that the brand like Kuvings, Tribest also present their Vaccum blender in Frankfurt show, and they looks like very similar. and, SANO blender?
I've been seeing these on ebay
When will you get more in stock,.if not when will you get some more
It is available here: www.eujuicers.com/sana-juicer-by-omega-euj-808-ferrari-red
Please where can I get the SANA juicer to buy
You can see here: www.sanaproducts.com/where-to-buy
keep the mic closer. I have to jack up the volume to hear you
We've since replaced it with a shotgun mic.
Is that a Ventray?
It's actually called a "Vitamax" - nice play on Vitamix.
EUJUICERS.COM Thank you. Do you recommend the Ventray brand?
It's a North American brand, so unfortunately I don't have any experience with it. The specs look good - but much of the quality depends on where it is manufactured.
Volume super low
Sorry about that. We had some problems with our equipment back when we filmed this, but have since replaced the audio processor.

Hola. Puede ver las opciones de pago aquí: www.eujuicers.es/licuadoras. Gracias.
Good juicers don't require advertising, like anything good quality.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the panasonic mj 500 makes kind of a similar motor noise as the cheap juicer, also made in china, and pretty cheap
how to disassemble hurom slow juicer
I is this juicer available in Delhi city
Hello. Unfortunately Sana isn't readily available in India. It is possible to ship there, but the freight would be expensive. I believe Hurom has local shops in India, and they produce a quality juicer.
How malaysian can buy it?
Malaysia is a shipping option at EUJuicers
Should try to dehydrate that Carrot pulp or give it to your critters like rabbits or whatever. Waste not want not
We have someone in the office who raises rabbits, so he and his rabbits are always happy when we have a juicing test.
So jump to the conclusion, I will get about 10 to 20% more juice with $500 machine but the price is not just 20% more, it's like 15 to 20 times more expensive than the copy cat :D. Either get juice or be juiced I guess.
The premium machine is about three times the price as of this writing. Warranty, availbility of spare parts, ease of cleaning, and other factors should be taken into consideration more than just yield. But as mentioned in the video, the cheaper juicer is definitely a viable option, and a much better choice than a centrifugal juicer.
Yes for the video, but currently we can get slow juicers as cheap as $30 (you can search for savtm je-07). And comparing it with a high-end brand like Hurom feels like the more you pay the little you get. My friend told me that knockoff brand is very easy to break but her Hurom HZ and it's broken after a month. I'm new to the game so maybe I will bet small :).
@@anhpham8733 For $30, it's definitely worth a shot. I would do the same.
Get yourself a good vitamix does all this and much more
My juicer xqcL
It was painful watching the replica 😣😣😣
quiero con oral dos una para mi y Tora para mi hermana si median el credito
😂Sorry for that but ur video is very funny one.U didn't open the locker of the jucier and keep adding more carrots...
It's a fair point you make, Kuan. Normally I open the juice tap after the first few carrots. You can see I started to open the flap at 13:23, but then got distracted and didn't open it until much later. It shouldn't affect motor performance, but yield can be improved sllightly (drier pulp) by having the juice tap open. Usually I only keep the tap closed when mixing juices or making nut milk. Thanks for pointing that out.
This is a INFOMERCIAL. Surprise! The cheaper juicer is inferior.... Who-da-thunk-it......
Sooo much carrots are wasted for one cup of juice
Gong's Brand Cube True, the bulk of the cellulose is not consumed. You could use the pulp for recipes. But it is definitely not a waste. It’s a way to consume and gain the nutritional value of all that veg. Also, the fiber can go into compost for the best organ garden soil.
I keep for cooking, dehydrating or chooks and pets.
Discount Juicers dot com is da bomb.
Completely agree. John there is a great guy and really knows his stuff!
