Champion Juicers
Since 1958 in Lodi, California the Champion Juicer has been manufactured. The company who make this juicer have changed little in its basic design in all this time yet they have still sold over a million of them. So it's a juicer that really is an enduring design icon that has been around well before built in obsolescence became fashionable in the marketing world as a means of persuading us to continually replace our household appliances with better models.
The design of the Champion Juicer is simple, but it's also very effective. This juicer consists of a commercial grade high powered induction motor which is built to last. To the motor and the drive shaft are then fitted some juicing parts and these sit in and on a juicing body (housing) with a stainless-steel liner and into which the vegetables and fruit will be fed.
Within the lining there's a cylindrical cutter in which are embedded small stainless steel teeth. The cutter fits onto the motor shaft easily which then spins. As the cutter spins is shreds and chews the vegetables and fruit that are being fed into the juicer.
The more produce that is fed through then pulp will be expelled from a nozzle at the end whilst the juice is passed through a filter underneath. The stainless steel teeth on this juicer are quite blunt but exert a chewing force as each piece of produce is passed through it.
Throughout the world Champion Juicers are known for being durable and powerful. The juicing parts which are on the front of the motor are subject to wear and tear due to amount of friction involved. However, it is easy and economical to replace these parts when they do fail.
Generally after around 5 years of constant use you may find You may want to buy a new cutter for yours and after around 10 years or so other parts may need replacing. But what really sets this apart from other juicers which might be purchased is the quality of its motor, which just doesn't seem to want to quit. It is this powerful motor that makes the Champion Juicer very versatile. If you replace the juicer screen or filter with a blank then everything that you force into it will come out through the pulp ejection nozzle as puree. You can turn nuts into nut butter, vegetables and fruit purees can be made into sauces, raw soups or baby food. The motor is so powerful that it can cope with frozen fruits being fed through it and which can be turned into delicious tasting ice creams and sorbets immediately.
I must confess here that I have a slight bias, because I have a Champion Juicer. But in defence of my attempt at being objective, I can also tell you that for over 25 years I have been using juicers and this has allowed me to try out various brands and models not just as a health enthusiast but as someone who sells all types of juicers.
No the manufacturer isn't paying to me to write this, and to be honest there are various other juicers in the marketplace which make much better business from the salesman's standpoint. For any juicing business the Champion is not good, because after a customer has brought one of these the chances of them needing to replace any almost zero. However, the Champion does have its detractors in the juicing world and there are a few criticisms that these people commonly make.
Some people say the Champion Juicer is ugly and looks more like an old fashion mincing machine. But the Champion Juicer was of its time back in the 1950's when it first appeared. But lately the retro look has become increasingly popular with many designers. For example the curves to be found on the popular refrigerators from Smeg are ones that would have not been misplaced in a 1950's kitchen. As things have now come full circle as they normally do and with its array of colours the Champion Juicer with its throwback styling is finding favour with among the more discerning customers today. As a man, the reason I like the Champion is its workmanlike appearance. It sits squat on the kitchen worktop waiting to pulverise anything that I choose to feed into it. Not only does it look like it can work, but it can.
Why hasn't the design been changed or modified to create a new range of juicers by the American Manufacturer? I think, but I'm guessing here that the old adage "if it ain't broke; don't fix it" applies in the case of this juicer. Besides giving a great juice yield, the juice nutritional content is very high and what we would expect from a "masticating juicer", along with it makes other delicious but healthy foods. So what possible reason could there be for the design to be changed?
However, juicing fibrous green vegetables is a problem and may take a little thought. Among the best ways to get the right results when juicing greens is to include another vegetable such as carrot into the mix. Who wants to drink cabbage juice anyway you may ask? I do for one along with drinking broccoli and other brassicas juices as they are very good for me. Yet I find the flavour of any pure green juice somewhat challenging and not only can I juice them more successfully adding in carrot or apple but they also add a sweet flavour to the juice making it more palatable.
Among the competitors products promoter will claim that the Champion Juicer heats up the juice and this can cause nutrient damage to the juice. For nearly 20 years now I have not been able to produce even a tepid juice with mine. But it is true that you could actually possibly produce a warm juice with yours if you're an idiot! I may be being a bit unfair to you here. It is quite possible for someone to make juice warm with the Champion if they approach the task by thinking that this machine like many other juicers which might be purchased today is fragile.
Those who have used other juicers before will feed products into the Champion with some trepidation because they have invested heavily in this machine and are worried about breaking it. But this is the completely wrong approach for them to take. The Champion Juicer uses blunt teeth for masticating the fruit and vegetables so you should apply a bit more force when pushing the food through the feeder. Don't be afraid like others are because they are scared they something may break, it won't.
No matter how hard you ram food into the pusher of the Champion it is virtually impossible for one to break it. Those people who do manage to produce warm juice have done so because they don't understand the proper way of operating this juicer. If you can ram frozen bananas into the machine to make ice cream instantly then this should offer you a clear idea of the toughness of the machine. You must get on with the task of feeding products into the juicer rather than dawdling over it if you need juice that will always be highly nutritious and cool.
The one criticism many have close to juicers in general is about how difficult they are to clean. Most people find the task of scrubbing the filter mechanism used for straining out the juice a problem because they should dislodge fibres in it, which many juicers tend to do in the small holes found in the filter. But personally, cleaning a juicer doesn't seem like a major job to me when you concentrate on the health benefits obtained from them. But with the Champion Juicer this can be a problem that is nearly eliminated because of unique masticating action it uses.
In this machine the pulp moves horizontally over the filter screen and this almost creates a self cleaning action and prevents too many holes from becoming clogged. It only takes a few seconds to clear the filter screen holes when placed under running water and using a washing up brush.
I'm a lazy cook, and like many others washing up is not my favourite kitchen chore even though I will have an enjoyable healthy juice after the work is done. As I mentioned earlier I have over time had the opportunity to try many different juicers and I can place my hand on my heart and say that the Champion is the most easiest juicer to use and clean.
Speaking as a person who could have any juicer they wanted because of my daily work allows me easy access to them. I would give kitchen worktop space to anything other than the Champion Juicer. Even in the 21st Century this is still truly "The World's Finest Juicer".
