Top 10 best Ra Chand Juicer 2022 According to experts

So, we’ve had the 800JEXL for three weeks and these are my findings.Appearance- Beautiful in design and form. Proud to display it on our counter. It is a bit tall but does fit beneath my cabinets. Without the top food pusher inserted, it’s 15.75″, with it inserted, it’s 16.75″. But it has a very large footprint so you’ll have to clear off some space. We just fit it without having to put our Oster blender somewhere else.Plug- Has a finger hole to pull it out. Very inventive and easy to get out of the wall even with wet hands.Collection Jugs- The fluid bin is plenty big to hold enough for about four six glasses of liquid. With the pulp ejection bin being so large, you can feed a LOT of stuff in before either the pulp or juice containers get filled. I haven’t even come close on either account.Leaks- When put together properly, there is no splattering or leaks at all. I can only imagine people are not putting the two collection containers into place properly. They kind of “click” when inserted properly. Honestly, not a DRIP ends up on the counter unless I spill it there.Juicing- This is what we’re most interested in. The large mouth accommodates most pieces of fruit cut once or not at all. Large apples just need to be cut in half. Others (carrots, small beets, kiwi, tangerines) do not need any prep. Just pop the item in and push it with the feeding device. This also prevents splatter out of the feeding tube (beware of that).It does get a fair amount of juice out of those costly veggies. For example, about four apples are required for about one glass of juice. It takes a LOT of carrots to make a glass. The pulp is pretty dry, so I’m fairly certain it is extracting as much juice as possible out of the fruits/veggies. You can save that pulp and use it as fiber when baking if you’re inclined to do so, and I’ve found some recipes for just that type of thing.I have not followed any juicing recipes. Basically, as long as you add an apple or two, the juice produced generally is palatable.As for greens leafy stuff like collard greens, Swiss chard, kale, parsley, etc., I do not think it gets much out of these. When I put a few leaves in, I do not see much juice at all coming out of the spout. I think for these types of leafy veggies, a masticating juicer is needed.The issue has been brought up about the speed and heat produced by the grinding disk destroying the vital enzymes and nutrients. For instance, when we break down proteins in the lab, we generally put liquid containing the proteins in a test tube and centrifuge it at high speeds (or vibrate very rapidly) to “denature” the proteins. I can’t say if this happens with centrifugal juicers like this model. I do know the juice put out is a bit warmer than the food I put in, so there is a massive amount of energy being applied to get those drops of juice out of the food. It’s not a massive temp shift, but it IS noticeable. If you want to be certain to avoid this possibility then a masticating juicer is required. I can’t say for sure how fast this blade moves, but it is VERY fast from visual evidence.Clean up- So here is why I hated juicers and had to be “pushed” into buying this product. I had the Jack Lalanne juicer, which was a NIGHTMARE. It spewed stuff all over, discolored immediately, and was not worth the trouble. I had read the Breville was easy to clean, and believe me, it’s TRUE. Everything comes apart logically, and all seven items rinse clean under simple running tap water and mild soap. The included scrubbing brush is used for the grinding disk, and it works perfectly. I have not had to put any parts in the dishwasher and do not believe I ever will need to. However, I’m certain they would withstand a dishwashing because this is a VERY sturdy machine. Start to finish, I have it down to under four minutes. I clean it each and every time I use it, as soon as I have consumed the drink because it has the most nutrients when you drink it as soon as possible after being created. When done, I take it apart, clean it, set it on a drying towel, and I’m ready to go again.Overall, this unit is beautiful to look at, well made (heavier duty than I had dreamed), makes great juice, and is a snap to clean.One downside is the slight heat and high revs for those concerned about the theoretical degradation of the nutrients by these processes. Plus, for greens, I don’t think it would be feasible to feed it enough collard greens to make even one 8 oz. glass to drink. It just is not designed for that as far as I can tell.If you want a great product and can afford it, then the Breville is an excellent unit. Of course, I have experience with just one other model, so keep that in mind. The fact it doesn’t do greens well makes it four stars instead of five.Could you get a machine of this quality from another manufacturer that is as easy to clean at this price? I doubt it. You do need to spend a fair amount of $$ to get quality, and the health benefits that accrue will make this a small investment in your overall well-being. Plus, the cost is nothing compared to what you’ll pay for the stuff you’re shoving down the barrel to make that nutrient-rich juice. Trust me on that. Our fresh produce bill has nearly doubled the past three weeks.Breville has a great name, and this only confirms all that I’ve read about this company. I have no regrets buying this item and look forward to years of service.BTW: I bought this to comply with the dietary changes recommended in Dr. Alejandro Junger’s book “Clean”, which I highly recommend. Read about it on Amazon.com. It has made a difference in how my wife and I feel, and a juicer (he doesn’t recommend any brand) is pretty much required to follow his plan.

What can I say – it made juicing fun! I have always used a centrifugal juicer and fought with the loud noise, involved cleaning and reduced type of things to juice. The Omega changed all this, and most importantly – it made juicing easy and tasty! (the latter is one of the most important aspects for me)Let’s dissect it for a second.The Omega is a slow juicer. It will definitely take longer to do the same juice as with the centrifugal one. BUT, this is better! Less oxidation, but most importantly, the juice has much much better taste! We did a test: we juiced the same quantity in both and compared the result. We juiced same quantity of carrots, red cabbage and apples. The centrifugal juicer produced a juice that smelled very powerful of cabbage, with a watery feel to it. The Omega made a tad less juice (not by much) but the quality of the juice was amazing – more homogenized, better color (!), and the we could taste every ingredient perfectly, with the finished product showcasing a symbiotic relationship between all the ingredients, no harsh taste from the cabbage whatsoever. It was so good that my 7 and 5 year old kids drank it all, while they didn’t like the one made with the centrifugal juicer.The feeding mouth is smaller on the Omega. We cannot just dump large quantities in the juicer anymore. But that’s not so bad. The finished product is definitely worth it. I have no problem cutting carrots length-wise, or the red beet in pieces, or apples in slices. Guess what, with my kids helping, this is actually not bad – we do the cutting, while my kids feed them in the Omega. That’s fine. I like this juicer so much the I actually take the time to cut even smaller items that would probably work whole, just to reduce the load on the machine. But that’s just me.The collecting bin is small. And the discharge system poorly designed. Yes it fits well under the machine, but if you are juicing larger quantities you have to unload the bin (the height of the machine does not lend itself to using taller pitchers under it) and while unloading the juice still drips even if the machine is off. So after unloading you have to wipe under the bin and be fast to replace it or there will be a mess under it. Some vertical juicers have a stopper, and it would have been nice to have one on this one as well. Well, it is what it is and we learned to deal with it…The cleaning process is much better with the Omega. The frickin centrifugal one would take a long time to clean. Not with this one. It comes apart easy, and each part can be cleaned fairly fast. I juice and drink the juice immediately, never store it, and I juice twice a day (morning and lunch) and I do not mind cleaning it. This aspect encouraged us to juice more often!Juicing soft fruits can be a problem with the Omega. Even tomatoes. The mush will just stay in the masticating chamber. Yest it can be a problem, but we learned to deal with it. Take for example a favorite juice of mine: tomato, red cabbage, red beet, celery root, carrot, garlic, and parsley and lovage stems. I need to start with the tomato, and then follow with something a little more dry as cabbage, and always finish with the carrot as it will push everything through.Now, the main advantage is that we can juice things that we couldn’t with the centrifugal one. Leafy greens are the Omega’s best friend. But what I really like is that now I don’t throw away anything – we keep all stems from parsley, dill, beets, etc. and juice them along with other veggies. The flavor from these stems is amazing. Add them a bit a lime or lemon and ginger in your green juice and it will be amazing!Why four stars then? Well, we got the first one, and when running dry the whole masticating chamber would wobble like crazy, and the motor made an accompanying rhythmic noise. We thought is is defective, so got a replacement. The replacement did the same. So I can only infer that the auger shaft is not perfectly straight. And all those plastic parts! Even if this thing is warrantied for a decade, it will most certainly need replacement for some if not all the plastic parts. (remember the printer-cartridge combo anyone?) I would pay double to have this made with stainless steel parts!I guess time will tell if this juicer will last. For now, it brought back the fun in juicing, and the final product is so drinkable, so delicious!UPDATE:Almost 4 months later and we still love this juicer. It has changed our morning habits completely! We use it so often we never store this away, and it became a staple on our counter.The morning juice became a ritual for the entire family. After waking up I start preparing the juice – we do not use fruits almost at all (except pomegranate occasionally – they are superb). Even though it is not needed, I dice everything I put in it as it doesn’t take more than an extra minute or so. As such, the juicer becomes 100% self feeding and it make it easier for the juicer too. My kids are now so used to the morning juice on an empty stomach (micro-nutrient shoot to the vein) that if we are late one morning they ask for it – “Daddy, I am getting hungry soon so can I have my juice now?” Remember, there’s no fruit! Creatures of habit these kids!The nice part is that we have no waste anymore – we juice EVERYTHING! We cook cauliflower the day before, well, now we have the leaves and stems from them; we prepared a red beet salad, now we have all the stems to juice (we make soup from the leaves); etc. etc. And you get to do a vegetable stock from all the shredded veggies! It comes great even though they were juiced!But the best part is how good we feel! My kids haven’t had a cold since we started juicing (Coincidence? Maybe, but the school started during this period and usually they would bring something home. Not this time. Again, it might be a coincidence.)But wait, there’s more! We are trying to be a Paleo family (I am 100%, the rest of the family about 75% or so). I started my Paleo lifestyle 3 months before we got this juicer (so 6 months ago). When I got the juicer I decided to replace 2 meals a day with juice. So I have a pretty large juice in the morning (again, only veggies, and mostly avoiding root vegetables) and one at lunch (I work very close to home and I can go and make a fresh juice during lunch). Since I started Paleo I lost 45 pounds, 35 since i bought this juicer! I have so much freaking energy too!I never believed we would get so enthused about this juicer. Granted, this is not the best juicer out there, but it makes great tasting juice. But I would till keep this one at 4 stars. SO MUCH PLASTIC! Again, I would pay double to have all stainless steel! We dumped the plastic-fantastic containers (a pain to truly clean) and juice directly in glass containers. Also, cleaning the mixing chamber is a pain – what you see in the youtube videos is just rinsing – do that a few times and you’ll have a nasty looking juicer in a few days. You really need to brush the inside thoroughly to get rid of all stains. And the locking mechanism get hard to use in time – when my kids “help” they press too hard on the tamper, so some juice comes out through the back pass the plastic o-ring. If that doesn’t get cleaned, the locking wheel will be “sticky” the next day or so. I had to take the entire wheel off a few time already (a Phillips screwdriver will do the trick in a few seconds). So it’s not all perfect, but I will forgive these flaws for the major impact it had on our lives.UPDATE:It is now 8 months later and this juicer is still going strong. One more issue surfaced though – more than often we put in our juice a combination of kale, celery, bok choy, bell pepper, beet greens, parsley stems, collard greens, cauliflower leaves, cabbage, spinach, cucumber, and towards the end red beets and carrots (I try not too drink too much root veggies juice, so the last two we always juice at the end after I get some of the juice – the carrots also push through everything left in the juicing chamber). Almost every time I get to the red beet, I have some juice leaking between the transparent body and the black retaining nut, so that gasket is not sealing very well anymore. Always with the red beet.As mentioned above, we got rid of the plastic containers that came with the juicer. I use two glass cups for the juice, and when one is full I slide the other one under and dump the juice in a stainless shaker (I use the  Dozenegg  or the  Winco , whichever is closer). The pulp we used to have it come out in a smaller mixing bowl, and either throw it away or use it for making broth. When we throw it away, we used to put it in one of those flimsy bags that came with the veggies (the pulp will stink up your trash very fast otherwise), but now we found an even better solution: dog poop bags! I use one and get it to stay on the juicer with one of those thick rubber bands that came with the veggies – see the uploaded picture. So now everything dumps directly in the bag, no mess to clean, no smell in the trash!

I love this thing. It’s GORGEOUS. You will definitely have pulp in your juice so if you don’t like pulp, don’t buy it. It feels badass to use it, and it’s just great quality, and is so pretty it’s almost decorative.You will have to hand wash the juicer insert. We are a Power Wash house and that makes it so it’s just a spray and a rinse and we’re done. So, if you have the $ to invest in this thing, go ahead and just get you a bottle of power wash and thank me later. lol.

Got this next-day – nothing like instant gratification. It arrived double-boxed, plus Amazon’s shipping box, though Amazon’s tape just barely held. Because of its off-size and heavy weight, Amazon should triple-tape it.I just used it this morning, so I will modify my rating over time if necessary.First, why I bought this. After all, I have a very nice Omega Juicer I’ve been totally pleased with for over a decade, still going strong. But it’s overkill and time-consuming for a quick lemon or orange juicing, plus cleanup. It’s excellent for a lot of juicing, but not quick one-offs like this citrus press. And I recently decided to dump sodas in favor of iced lemon-water, and also to drink a mixture of lemon/olive oil/honey in hot water first thing in the morning. You get older, mortality is tapping you on the shoulder, and I want to say Not Yet. I wanted something quicker and easier for use in these specific circumstances.After checking the reviews on competing products, I found the Zulay to have more people with a higher top rating than others, so sprang for it. I also liked the way it looked built and considered the pros and cons in reviews. I was afraid I’d have buyer’s remorse: yet another kitchen gadget? But instead, I became convinced it was exactly what I needed and I’d actually use it.Pros:1. It really is easy to clean the removable stainless steel parts. Just turn to unlock them from their little notches and they come right out. If you have a sprayer – that might be all you need.2. They don’t intend for you to remove the upper aluminum cone: just spritz it with a little water, wipe off. Easy.3. While it does take a little more effort than I expected to finish squeezing the press, it’s not bad. I’m pushing 70 and I can do it.4. It certainly appears to be built to last a lifetime. It is solidly made. I love things that look over-built.5. I bought the “gray” cast iron look instead of the painted ones. I’m not confident of any paint on most surfaces where food can come in contact with a kitchen device, and in addition, my taste in colors might change, or my kitchen colors might change. And I personally like the industrial/commercial look it has. And pretty as it might look, I would stay away from the chrome. While chrome technically doesn’t rust, the underlying steel or cast iron will, and you’re talking a wet environment in the kitchen, along with citrus acid.6. I didn’t realize it had a lifetime warranty. I like that, even though I know that “lifetime” really only means the lifetime of the company. Nevertheless, it gives me confidence that the company stands behind their product. Just register it.7. Pomegranates! I’d never even considered there was a better way to deal with this fruit. I’m looking forward to trying this. Some decent reviews here on this interesting application for this press.Cons:1. Zulay really should include a cheap Allen wrench to adjust the screws. I already have a set, but if you don’t, you’re going to want one. Mine arrived a little loose, and it will probably take some time to adjust the screws to my liking for both ease of travel, while not flopping down, but without being too hard to press. The one video showing it dropping like a rock is because the screws were loose: it’s not a fair concern. At any rate, ease of travel vs the difficulty of the actual press requires the Allen wrench. That’s going to vary according to the customer.2. As even the videos show and nearly everyone has said, it will tip unless you use your other hand to steady the rear of the base. I don’t find this a big deal, and it’s not much effort to steady it that way. Suction cups would probably be adequate, as another competitor has – but then you have to unstick the suction cups, if this press doesn’t have a permanent place on your counter. Mine will stay out while at home, but I’m still happy that it’s easy to move rather than more stuck to the surface. And in my particular case – I’m going camping with it in my little trailer, so it needs to move when not in use.3. I would like to see Zulay make the upper press cone which comes in contact with the top of the fruit, stainless steel as well, and removeable. This could be a notch-and-turn similar (if a little more tight) to the bottom 2 pieces. Despite assurances to the contrary by the health system, I’m not comfortable with aluminum and food, plus aluminum warps easily if stressed. This is a personal opinion, but I’m sharing it anyway. However, the cone is designed for the fruit and not likely to get warped, and it only is in contact with the top of the fruit, which you’re likely throwing away.4. Another reviewer mentioned misalignment. This is rather interesting, and I’ve taken pictures to try and show what’s happening. Basically, it is misaligned at the top of the travel, until you reach the point where you’re actually pressing on the fruit, at which point it is almost perfectly aligned. So, yes it is – but no, it isn’t, lol. So – Top of Travel = handle all the way up. Bottom of Travel, handle fully pressed down. It IS off just a touch, at least on my unit, but having seen it in action, I don’t see this as much of a defect.None of these cons are worth taking a star off for. Taken altogether, I might take a half-star off for them. But none of them came even close to being deal-killers, or make me wish I’d bought something else.So, if you’re in the market for a citrus press, or perhaps a pomegranate press, and you think you’ll use it a lot, I’d say it’s worth the investment. I intend mine to be twice-daily – and now that I’ve bought it, I need to justify the expense, lol.

This juicer really well made and looks great. It really gets the juice out if you press hard. The only problem when you press hard it wants to tip forward so you need to hold your other hand on the back side. It might be easier if it were mounted to the surface. It would be nice if there was an attachment to do larger fruit like grapefruit or even larger oranges. As it is it is primarily for lemons and small oranges.

I originally gave it 5 stars. I bought this on May 8th, and started using it around May 16th. It was actually working pretty well. I use it at home, once a day to make fresh orange juice for my family. I am not sure what happened, but suddenly the knife/blade piece doesn’t fit anymore. It appears the metal piece (attached to the machine) has lifted upwards. The big issue to me is that I called the number listed for support, Friday 17th of June, few times between 9 am and 12 pm, and I get a message saying the office is closed and get disconnected. It is an expensive machine to breakdown few weeks after buying it, and I am not even using it commercially.Additional note: I managed to fix the issue with the metal piece, where the blade goes, and the machine works well. I have been using it for several months now without issues. All I did was unscrew the metal piece where the blade goes and switched upwards. If you buy this machine, works well, but don’t expect customer support of any kind.

I upgraded to the more expensive 500 heavier model. I returned this model because it tipped forward when I used it to squeeze limes. It was advertised as restaurant grade use, but it didn’t live up to my expectations of restaurant use because it tipped and therefore required two hands. For casual use, this model may work for you, but I opted to spend a bit more for one that won’t tip.

I’m using this to squeeze lemons and limes for now. This thing is rock solid. The long lever provides great leverage/power. Aesthetically pleasing. No instructions but none needed; arrived with a plastic and metal washers, and small screw needing attachment to 1 joint; 2 Allen wrenches also included. My unit has rubber feet on the bottom and combining it with its weight, it moves nowhere when using. The price is a good value. All of the juice is squeeze out from the limes/lemons! Very happy with this product.

I purchased this after my aluminum squeezer broke in less than a week. It’s sturdy and works on both lime and lemon. It’s sturdy enough to squeeze 2 pieces together, but I don’t recommend doing it.

This is a great press. I use it for small limes, all the way up to large oranges. This gets all the juice out, and is actually faster than my commercial electric juicer. It’s easier to clean as well. Cut the fruit in half, put into the press, put one hand on top of the press to keep it from moving, and push the handle all the way down, done.

This thing is a tank. We got ours in yesterday, just in time to squeeze 70+ oranges that came off our tree. Handled it like a pro. We had a factory line going…one person cutting oranges, N.E. working the juicer, one swapping containers as the juice filled them. Fast and the juice yield was very high.Pros:- This is so solid, I’m sure my grandkids will inherit this (we currently have teenagers and no grandkids)- You don’t need a lot of pressure to juice.- juice yield is very high- easy to clean- looks greatCons (if you consider these cons):- came wrapped in plastic in a very large cardboard box. No formal packaging.- rustic, as in some bolts appear to be on crooked, fit and finish isn’t precise, but very sturdy. This isn’t German engineering, but one could argue that’s the charm!- large footprint – glad we didn’t get the 500 model (but kinda wish we did for cool factor)

We love our fruits, vegetables and juices, especially fresh juices without preservatives, sugar or other additives. This system does what it says, and is plenty strong enough. The surface area of the perforated steel that allows juice to exit the extrusion tube is a bit small, so the unit does clog up with pineapple. Once that happens, nothing that is added later can power through it. We tried apples, for example, and it just made applesauce inside the machine. This is not the machine for pineapple. Apples, carrots, oranges, celery, even kale have not been any problem at all, and I would buy it again. Also makes baby food, sorbet and other things besides juice!

I ordered one when it was WAYYY lesser priced, to this day I regret not ordering multiple. Personally and in hindsight, I would still order one of these. It is pretty easy to use and really extracts the juice out of various fruits such as oranges, lemons, and pomegranates. Cleaning it is a little tedious, though.

Juicer was 5 stars overall: Decent performance, minimal hassle, etc… until the plastic parts began to fail. Foolish me I should have returned it when I saw the first cracks appear in the feeder where it attaches to the main body (pic 1). But it didn’t affect performance so I let it slide. Now after two months the juicer has suffered a critical failure where the feeder section meets the cap piece (pic 2) which holds the pressing screen in place. Seeking a new part from the manufacturer although from a design standpoint it is fairly obvious that the translucent plastic used for the feeder is likely not up to the task. It simply does not have the strength or heft of the other operating elements. The impeller, juicing screen etc… are all much stronger solid black plastic. We are past the standard return period so I’m going straight to the seller and we will see if it justifies a re-rating.*** update: spoke with seller support – very nice contact person, but zero support for the product. I was sent to the manufacturer for redress.*** update 2: Manufacturer website is “Under construction” Good luck with theoretical parts warranty. Will update if I hear back from them.*** update 3: Via Amazon feedback I have heard from the seller and they are sending a replacement. Well done folks (respectful slow clap proceeds…) Seriously, loved the juicer, just bummed about the cracking. Seller made it all better, so my tip of the hat to customer service done right. Cheers.

After years of using a plastic juicer bought at the grocery store I thought it was time to upgrade to glass. This is a great juicer–it works quickly to extract lots of juice. I took off one star because this juicer leaves the lemon pulp in the lemon, leaving behind a lot of juice in that pulp. I end up scraping off that pulp with a knife, adding it to my juice. Wish the design of my plastic juicer could be found in glass (meaning, a larger, less smooth center portion that extracts the pulp). Somewhat disappointed in this juicer.
