Welcome to the World's most affordable
single-gear Cold-Press LIVING Juicer!

The Compact Juicer is quicker than any other gear juicer - without compromising juice quality or nutrient integrity:

The reason for this is a major re-think with the choice of motor. Other gear-type juicers operate an AC motor, where as the Compact utilises a DC motor. A DC motor is better able to deliver power variably and thus is more power efficient and also emits less heat. Critically, the DC motor of the Compact Juicer doesn't react to resistance by halting but rather by slowing down. Thus you can juice continuously compared with other gear juicers that halt regularly - slowing you down and causing parts damage. In fact the Compact Juicer achieves 95% fewer parts breakages.parts are profitable business.

How does the Compact Juicer achieve 95% less parts breakages?

To best answer that question we should first answer why parts breakages occur at all. Except in rare circumstances of manufacturing defect, parts breakages occur when a machine is over-used - either the machine is used for too long or too heavily. All juicers of this type carry a 50% duty cycle motor, which means you can operate for around 20-30 minutes and must then rest the machine for a similar time. Parts breakages under extended periods of non-intermittent use cannot be avoided - the stresses are too great as the temperature of all parts rise. Obviously a higher temperature is not good news for your juice so quite simply: keep to the recommended operation times with all juicers. With regard to heavy use - this is common with gear-type juicers because the feeding process is slow compared with centrifugal type machines, and quite naturally people want things to happen faster. What people usually don't perceive is that food entering the machine must logically exit the machine at the same rate, otherwise the pressure inside rises until the resistance on motor reaches a tipping point: The result is that the motor and all parts suddenly halt. This is why gear-type juicers include a reverse function, so that you can back up and attempt to clear the blockage. But what happens during the sudden stop, is that both the motor and parts are jolted causing an accumulation of minute stress damage. Eventually, and usually without any prior warning, something breaks. It may be the gear, the juicing screen, or worse the gearbox - but in any case you are left without a functioning juicer, and unless your reseller is especially sympathetic you will have to pay for replacement parts. Are the manufacturers continually trying to strengthen the parts to avoid breakage? Yes and no - there's little more that can be done, and spare parts are profitable business.

But the Compact juicer is different.

The Compact was designed from the ground up with longevity in mind, and the primary feature that gives such last-ability to its parts is a new technology in the motor that avoids the 'jolt' described above. Simply, the motor is sensitive enough to slow down under increased pressure, so that a final halt doesn't come as a stress-causing jolt. In our extended tests we were unable to get the Compact Juicer to halt at all and marvelled at how instead it would slow down and not block. That meant juicing and food processing was far quicker than with other single-gear extractors.
