The Champion Juicer

One of the most common questions I get asked is "What juicer do you recommend?" Well, my juicer of choice is actually the Champion - although it doesn't do wheatgrass and herbs and the pulp comes out a lot wetter than it does through other top-of-the-range juicers, it's handsome, sturdy, easy to clean and juicing takes no time at all!

Does this mean that the other juicers aren't worth looking at? No, not at all. In fact most people will opt for a Samson or Green Star, especially if they're looking to do a lot of green juices, but I just found that realistically I just wasn't making the effort to use those juicers (they run a bit slower, the food has to be cut up smaller and they're often more fiddly to clean), so I thought I'd stick with a juicer that I actually wanted to use!

I'll be writing more about juicers further down the line. It's an important subject to cover and the truth is that there's pros and cons to all of them. To date, although there are some truly great juicers on the market, as of yet the "perfect juicer" does not seem to exist.

So, for now, the squat, white and handsome Champion it is!

Hi Karen,

Great site I really love it! Something concerning me about the champion. I have read a few times that the high speeds of the juicer destroy the enzymes and nutrients of the juice. Do you know if this is true or not?

Thanks

Hi Karen, the Champion website says champion does do wheatgrass. i was wondering if you had ever tried it or was just going on the general consensus that it doesn't. i don't want to learn the hard way if i can help it..

thanks,
heather

I am also very happy with my CHAMPION juicer. I have it for about 10 years now. Never have one problem. In fact the best I've found (if you want, like me, to make juices from wheatgrass or from the same kind of leaves) is to buy a small manual juicer. Mine is from LEXEN and is called "Health juicer model GP 27 A". I payed it 29£.. & something. It is just WONDERFUL for the leaves...it is small and can be transported easily on holidays !

I've had a Champion juicer for about 30 years - they never wear out! - and have just learned to put the pulp through 2 or 3 times, and by then there is very little left, and what is left is pretty dry. I was so glad to learn this tip, and I feel I'm getting the very best of the vegs I juice.
