Check out the other features that will guide you to make the right purchase.
Wide Feeding Chute
One of the reasons you get a juicer is so you can get rid of the taxing task of squeezing and cutting. Hence, look for a cold press juicer that has a wide feeding chute to pass through large chunks of fruits and vegetables. An appliance should cut down the preparation time by 75-80%. The one by Usha has an 80 mm feed mouth. You can directly insert small apples and beetroots into it.

Low Maintenance
You need appliances that require low maintenance. Imagine spending thousands of bucks on something only to spend hundreds of hours to keep it clean. It’s not a sound choice. A cold press juicer can be easily dismantled and cleaned without any special guide or ingredients. Usha’s appliance stands out in this aspect, and it comes with a cleaning brush that helps you reach the nooks and crannies.
Juice Yielding Efficiency
The most important feature of a cold press juicer is its juice-yielding capacity or efficiency. A good appliance is one that can extract a large amount of juice from the pulp and leaves a minimal amount of waste. Getting a good juicer is a long-term investment that can save you money over a period of time. If you get the wet pulp after juicing, it means the appliance is not working properly.
Motor Power
Motor power plays a crucial role in juicing. One that operates at somewhere between 40 RPMs and 100 RPMs is a good option. It minimises oxidation and overheating, thus, preserving the texture and taste of the final product. Usha’s cold press juicer has a motor that runs at the speed of 67 RPM, and it maximises juice extraction.
