Juicer or Citrus Juicer: Which One Do You Need?

Fresh juice every morning is a habit many Iraqi families love. But which machine should you buy? A juicer extracts juice from apples, carrots, pomegranates and many other fruits and vegetables, while a citrus juicer is made for oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits. This guide explains the difference so you can choose the right one — or both.

1. Citrus juicer: fresh orange and lemon juice in seconds

A citrus juicer has a cone that turns while you press half an orange or lemon onto it. It is simple, quick to clean and perfect for daily orange juice. Some models have a press arm or lever that does the pressing for you.

• Best for: orange, lemon, mandarin and grapefruit juice.
• Look for: a pulp selector, cones for small and large fruits, an anti-drip spout, and a press arm or lever if you juice a lot.

2. Juice extractor: fast juice from whole fruits

A juice extractor uses a fast-spinning blade and a fine filter to separate juice from pulp. A wide feeding chute takes whole fruits, so preparation is quick and you can make a big jug in minutes.

• Best for: apples, carrots, pears and larger amounts of juice.
• Look for: power, a wide whole-fruit feeder, a large pulp container and dishwasher-safe parts.

3. Slow juicer: more juice, quieter operation

A slow juicer squeezes fruit gently with a turning screw instead of a fast blade. It works quietly, gives a high juice yield and separates juice from fibre automatically. Some models can even make fruit ice cream.

• Best for: daily healthy juice and anyone who wants the most juice from their fruit.
• Look for: a reverse function, filters for different fruits, a wide feeding chute and easy cleaning.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make orange juice in a normal juicer?

Yes, after peeling the fruit. But for daily orange and lemon juice, a citrus juicer is faster and easier to clean.

What is the difference between a slow juicer and a juice extractor?

A juice extractor works fast with a spinning blade. A slow juicer squeezes gently with a screw, so it is quieter and gives more juice — the SJ595 gives up to 35% extra juice.

Which type is easiest to clean?

A citrus juicer, because it has only a few parts. Most MODEX juicers also have dishwasher-safe parts.

Can a slow juicer make ice cream?

Yes. The SJ595 includes an ice cream filter attachment, and the SJ500 can make fruit ice cream too.
