FAQ
Questions, answered straight
Should I store a juicer or leave it out?
Heavy slow juicers over 12 lbs usually end up living on the counter. If you have no counter room, choose a lighter model you will actually lift out, rather than a premium model that stays boxed.
How much clearance do vertical juicers need?
Most vertical models here are 15 to 18 inches tall. Check the space under upper cabinets, especially for hopper designs like the Nama J2.
Can a compact juicer handle celery?
Yes, if celery is cut into short pieces. Long fibers wrap around augers in compact models, so 1 to 2 inch pieces are the reliable approach.
