To squeeze a significant amount of root vegetables, such as carrots or beets, or to get apple juice, large aggregates are used, often combining two functions — juicers and juicers. A compact juicer, small or very tiny, is intended for squeezing a small amount of juice - just for one glass or a maximum of two such glasses. This portion of the invigorating drink given by the capabilities of the compact model is sufficient for a family of two or three people, and the volume from 300 to 500 ml is recognized as optimal, because the juice must remain fresh and not be prepared for the future.

The unit for squeezing juice from natural raw materials was invented more than 70 years ago. Since then, a large number of interesting models, combining user-friendly design and versatility. All juicers can be divided according to the principle of operation. They are named:

• for citrus;
• screw;
• combined;
• centrifugal.

Queen of the model compact series is considered to be manual juicer for citrus fruits - oranges and lemons. A cone-nozzle and a juice-collecting bowl are the main elements of this mini miracle.Using a juicer is quite simple - cut the fruit into two halves, one of them is planted on a ribbed cone and scrolled. The juice gets inside the pan and then flows through the holes into the container. There are models with filters that delay the seeds and films when squeezing juice.

Centrifugal machine It is intended for processing and obtaining juice both from fruits and from fruits and vegetables. In order to collect the juice, you need a separate glass, which is substituted to the spout during operation of the juicer. The more powerful such a device, the faster it works. Small models are able to squeeze up to half a liter of juice, having a capacity of 200-300 watts.

Screw - This is a juicer operating on the principle of a press with a special screw. A small-sized model takes up very little space on the shelf, since the engine is placed vertically in it. The screw is easy to clean, and the juicer is extremely user friendly.

The raw material for it can be any kind of fruit and berry products, fruit, and even herbs and nuts. With cold pressing, which occurs in this case, the vitamins are stored for the longest time in the resulting juice or oil.A glass for filling with liquid is inserted into the bottom of the model. Fruits or vegetables are pushed from top to bottom and crush, falling under the movement of a special auger screw.

It is light in weight, takes up very little space, fits in a small bag, which is especially appreciated by families who often move, live in a small apartment and dorm. A miniature juicer is usually inexpensive. This is another factor that allows families with any, even modest, wealth to purchase such a model.

First of all, when buying, you should decide what your purchase will be intended for - squeezing citrus fruits, stone fruit with pulp or harder fruits, or it should be universal for all types of fruits and vegetables.

Perfect squeezing is ensured by a cylindrical separator view. Products with this design allow you to get up to 90-95% juice, so the pulp accumulates inside the separator quickly enough, and it is advisable to monitor its garbage manually. When squeezing juice from carrots and apples, the cake can take up two to three times more volume than the juice obtained from these fruits. And in this case, there are convenient models with automatic removal of the press of a button.

In compact juicers for one or two glasses, the hole for laying the fruit does not always have a large width, so they have to be cut into pieces.
