If you're planning to make juice a major or the only component of your diet for any significant length of time, you won't be able to do your juicing by hand. A dedicated juicer provides you with better quality juice that contains more fiber and essential nutrients. It also makes it easier to produce green juices and beverages made from foods that are more difficult to juice by hand.

Because you need to be able to rely on your juicer, however, you can't just buy the first one with an appealing price tag. Dedicated juice fasters need high quality equipment to help them get the most out of nature's produce. The juicer you buy doesn't have to be extremely expensive, but it does need to be able to provide you with high quality, great-tasting juice, quickly and reliably.

Types – There are many different kinds of juicers available on the market, but some are too specialty for use during a juice diet. For instance, devices made primarily to extract citrus juices like orange or grapefruit may be handy for breakfast use, but they often fail to produce good results with vegetables and other fruits. Look for an all-purpose juicer that works with every kind of ingredient you might want to juice.

Power – Many inexpensive juicers don't have the power you need to deal with whole fruits and vegetables. If your budget is limited and you're willing to pre-chop your food before juicing, you can go with a lower-powered model. If you want more convenience and more consistent juice, choose a more powerful device.

Size – A big juicer can handle more different kinds of fruits and vegetables without pre-chopping, but it might take up a lot of cabinet or counter space in your kitchen. If you live in a small apartment or another narrow space, choose compact models.

Ease of Use – Some juicers do a good job producing drinkable juice, but have to be fully disassembled for cleaning. If you'd like to make your juice quickly and easily, pick a model that's simple to clean. If you want a feature-filled device, you may have to sacrifice some simplicity.

Budget – Decide how much you can spend before you go shopping. It's possible to get a very basic but functional juicer for as little as $30 to $50. Top of the line juicers for people who want to include fresh fruit and veggie juices in their everyday lives cost more, up to several hundred dollars. In general, it's a good idea to choose a simple model from a well-regarded brand over a complex model from an unknown manufacturer when your budget is limited.

Feature Set – If you have limited space for appliances or want to perform more functions than just juicing, models with extra features could provide more bang for your buck. You can choose juicers that will also provide coconut milk, nut butter or other healthy homemade foods, but you may have to pay more.
