- If you're looking for a money-saving option and won't be using your juicer daily, or don't mind manually juicing wheatgrass, a quality manual juicer works well. Manual juicers also provide quicker cleanup and less potential for bacteria buildup, since they don't have a motor and as many parts. You will spend more time juicing, however. Look for a sturdy juicer with few parts and a compact style.
- Electric wheatgrass juicers share some of the same issues as a manual model. Look for a juicer that seems quick to assemble, clean and put back together. A good juicer should be easy to use and not have unnecessary gadgets and buttons. Look at how powerful the motor is compared to other units. Typically, stronger motors last longer, and they also tend to cost more. Notice how much space the appliance takes up. Look for a juicer made from durable material that won't rust, wear or break quickly. Aside from exceptionally poor-performing juicers, UK Juicers holds that most juicers have similar juice yield, despite company claims.
- At the time of publication, wheatgrass juicers range from $50 to $500, depending on whether they're manual or electric, quality and brand. Manual juicers cost between $50 and $150 with a stainless steel model costing around $75 to $100. Electric models may cost hundreds more, depending on motor power and features. Ignore long product warranties when it comes to assessing quality, as they're typically a marketing tactic. Typical warranties also only protect against manufacturing defaults, not general wear and tear.
- You may be looking for a juicer that liquefies a variety of fruits and vegetables. Most wheatgrass juicers sold as wheatgrass juicers will only adequately juice wheatgrass and leafy greens. If you do want to juice other items, a power masticating juicer gives you much more options to quickly juice different items. Check that the juicer does liquefy wheatgrass, however, as some centrifugal juicers may not.
