As one of the most affordable type of juicer, centrifugal juicer can be seen almost anywhere. The way this juicer produces juice is by simultaneously chopping up fruits or vegetables and spinning the produce at a very high speed. In effect, the juice is extracted from the pulp through centrifugal force.
Imagine a washing machine wringing wet clothes to relieve the clothes of excess water, and there you go! The pulp will remain in the strainer basket while the juice passes through the tiny holes in the basket. If you like to juice fruits and vegetables without exerting much strength, this is definitely a preferred choice.
