This Is How Long Juicers Last,

Things that Break On a Juicer?

if you find your juicer-pulp is wet and you have to push veggies or fruits harder than normal into your juicer, then you might be sure that your juicer is wasting juice and have dull juicing blades or a dull  shrader  or dull juicing-filter -basket (juicing screen).

You can check an old juicer price in eBay, wish, Bed Bath, and beyond, or craigslist for your proffered used juicer model.

But you should know, buying a used juicer is a personal preference and comes with its pros and cons. 

you will able to get a reduced price but no warranty, or customer support.

for instance, the Used omegaj8006 juicer price starts from around USD 150 these days   (which is half of the normal price on Amazon  )  but comes with no warranty or so.

My advice will be to buy a new juicer with good warrenty, at least 10 or more.

Why Long Warranty In A Juicer Is Important

Purchasing a juicer with a long warranty is important because it gives you extra protection and peace of mind assurance especially when the return policy expires and needs repair or replacement

Note you should be careful some brand gives warrenty for the motor not so much for the other juicer parts. you can check out the article about different juicer brand and their warranty periods.

Why is cleaning a Juicer Important to increase its life span

Cleaning a juicer is important because it’s a huge part of the maintenance process. Also keeping it clean at all times maintains your juicer’s performance at its highest level. A juicer-filters and other parts should be thoroughly cleaned to remove all the bits and pieces.

Failure to do that can cause juice pulp and other small components to clog and jam your machine. Not only does this compromise the performance of your juicer but it can cause your juicer to breakdown permanently.

why Avoid low-cost juicers or unknown brands

You should avoid looking for the cheapest price when you are looking for a juicer. you may end up spending more in long run.

As lowest-cost juicers have a short lifespan and short warranty. They tend to breakdown quickly as they are not sturdy and durable. and You may face lots of hassle and cost of fixing or buying a new juicer. 

How to increase the juicer life span

• You shouldn’t just throw in whole fruits and vegetables into a juicer without first preparing the ingredients. Even though a juicer might have a large chute you still have to prep if you want to produce fresh/tasty juice.
• Don’t juice fruits with their seeds and hard pits. Not only can this damage your juicer but it can also affect the taste of your juice or cause health problems as some of the seeds and pits contain chemical toxins.
• Avoid juicing dry ingredients that have low water content like coconut and sugar cane. Not only will that damage your juicer but you will also not get much juice from this produce.
• Don’t let your juice just sit around as it is unpasteurized and preservative-free. To derive all the health benefits from your products it’s best to drink right away.
• Don’t store juice in a juicer. After the juicing process is done remove the juice from the juicer and pour it into a jug and if there is any leftover juice store it in the fridge.
• Don’t use a spoon, knife, or any other item to push down ingredients into a juicer. Not only can this destroy the juicer but you may injure yourself during the process. You should use a plunger at all times.
• Do not wait up to clean your juicer. You should clean it as soon as possible after you are done juicing. If you can’t clean it there and there, it’s better to rinse it and wash it later than just to leave it as it is.

In a Nutshell

As mentioned above,  juicers’ lifespan depends on the brand, quality, and price. However, regardless of the type of juicer you own, if you want to maximize its lifespan, it is highly recommended that you keep it clean and perform the necessary routine maintenance.

If your juicer is from a reputable brand, then you may buy spare parts from the market or the brand website. . but if you have trouble with your juicer motor .. it may cost more to fix than buying a new juicer. 

If you want to enjoy the full benefits of a juicer for a long time, I highly recommend that you buy a durable and solid juicer. Happy juicing!
