The new Compact uses minimal bench space as the name implies. The low RPM (75-85) of the Compact and the gentle crushing and squeezing process, is similar to a Low Speed Cold-Press method, therefore generating minimal friction heat. Your juice can retain up to 60% more nutrients than conventional juicers and the valuable enzymes remain alive. The Live Enzymes are what aid your digestion and help your body absorb nutrients, boost your energy levels and immune system.

As an added bonus, your juice remains stable, nutritious and fresh for up to 48 hours (juice may be stored in a sealed container in the fridge)

What sets the new Compact multipurpose juicer/mincer apart from regular juicers, is that it can juice just about anything including wheatgrass. It will grind coffee beans, make nut butters, homus, pesto, salsa, dressings, dips, baby food, pasta and frozen desserts. It even has a completely separate mincing attachment that will professionally mince meat, chicken and fish as well as a sausage making nozzle. You won't believe how quiet the machine runs and how easy it is to clean, making it one of the most versatile and best value kitchen appliances available today.

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 Juicer utilizes a DC motor. A DC motor is better able to deliver power variably and thus is both 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

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 that 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 is profitable business.

But the Compact juicer is different.

The Compact Juicer 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 marveled at how instead it would slow down and not block. That meant juicing and food processing was far quicker then with other single gear extractors.
