Popular domestic juicers

As promised, I am writing a review about another juicer that we purchased this season - Salyut SVPR-201 juicer. This year, our old garden pleased with a huge harvest of apples and so that the whole harvest does not disappear, the Salyut SVPR-201 juicer was bought to help the old Belomo Electric juicer.

In general, my old juicer is quite happy with me, it is time-tested, has never failed during the application and squeezes the juice well. Disadvantages - you have to cut a large apple, it does not go into the loading hole and you often have to clean the sieve. And the rest, as they say, everything is OK.
But her husband really wanted to buy a new unit and he insisted on buying a Salyut SVPR-201 juice extractor.
The Salyut SVPR-201 juicer was manufactured in Penza. Its power is 400 watts, the engine speed is 1380 rpm. The speed is decent, so you can’t stop the juicer quickly. She has provided electrodynamic braking. To turn off, first put the switch key to the "0" position, then briefly for 4-8 seconds to the "Brake" position, and so on until the drum stops completely. Dimensions:

length 39.4 cm
width 344 cm
height 423 cm
The mass of the juicer is 10.5 kg.

The claimed efficiency of the squeezer Juice Salyut SVPR-201 in 50% corresponds to reality.

This is how the juicer looks assembled.

Made of white durable plastic. I only use the juicer for one season, but places of constant contact with apple juice have already begun to turn yellow. Apparently nothing can be done about it.

This is the lid of the loading chamber, the hole is large and large apples pass freely into it. But the loading of large apples is very large vibration, so it is better to cut them into two halves. Faster the apple will fray and the juicer will vibrate less. Yes, in general - that is what the manufacturer recommends.

The juicer drum is made of aluminum. It is important to assemble the drum correctly so that there are no problems during operation. At first, a fine mesh is simply inserted, arbitrarily, as you wish.

Then a large grid is installed.

It is installed so that the flanged polyethylene ring is on top and butt ends are joined.

This is how the drum assembly looks.

Already put a grater in the drum. She is very sharp, so you must be careful with her so as not to get hurt.

The gap between the grater and the edge of the loading chamber is regulated by the plastic rings under the grater.

All this is tightened by a screw

It is necessary to tighten very strongly, for this there is such a special plastic key. So that their boot chamber does not pop out apples or

bagasse, when squeezing the juice, you must close it with such a lid. It’s more convenient to work and will be cleaner on the table.
This is the pipe from which the juice flows.

Under it, put a container for collecting juice.
And this is the main part of the juicer. There is an electric motor and a power button.

The cover of the loading chamber should fit snugly against the body and is well fixed with a latch, a simple wire. For me, this is the biggest drawback of the Salyut SVPR-201 juicer. This lock is very difficult to budge, very uncomfortable. Could any pens come up with something? If this lock is not moved, you can slightly moisten the grooves along which it moves, it will be really easier.

Everything is ready and you can begin to work.

The apples must be loaded evenly so that the pulp is evenly distributed in the drum. The time for casting apples is determined empirically, it depends on the variety of apples and its size. Do not throw the next apple until the previous one is erased, they can interfere with each other and slow down, increasing the grinding process. Due to the uneven distribution of the pulp in the drum, there is a very strong vibration. Then you need to turn off the juicer and clean the grid. When you need to do this, you will understand for yourself when you start working on a juicer. Vibration and noise increase markedly. It is important to know, it is necessary to monitor the tension of the 4 bolts that secure the engine. They are located under the grater. They weaken from vibration and must be tightened before each work, with a 10 mm simple wrench.

What I have in the photo is not critical for the amount of pulp, it may be more, but if it is laid out evenly. It’s not difficult to clean, but with what - everyone decides for himself. I clean with a wooden spoon. The manufacturer did not think about it, there is no device in the kit, but it could be.
The pulp is not raw, but also depends on the variety of apples and how quickly you process apples after picking from a tree. The fresher the apples, the better.

It is from such a pulp that you can make apple cider vinegar, as I already wrote in a previous review about the Belomo Juicer, SVPP-301. Apple cider vinegar is very tasty and very healthy. I recommend - try it.

One liter of juice is obtained somewhere in 5-6 minutes, after a liter of juice I will definitely clean the net. I do not overload the drum and do not allow strong vibration. An average of 4 liters of juice is obtained from a bucket of apples. But it also depends on the apples.
At first it was very difficult for me to wash the juicer, but then it adapted. I put the juice on heating and immediately start washing the unit, the faster you start to do it, the easier it is to wash it. To do this, you need to have clean water, a foam sponge and a small brush with a long hard pile. In the old juicer, the hardest part was to clean the holes in the drum. Everything is much simpler here, you wash the fine mesh with clean water and shake it off, everything - nothing else needs to be done. And you brush a large mesh with a brush, also simply and without problems. My juice does not have time to boil, as I have already washed the juicer - 15 minutes of work.

I do all this in the courtyard of a rural house, very comfortable and great. We bring only ready-made clean jars to the apartment home.
The juice is clean and it does not need to be filtered, heated to 90 degrees and rolled up. Simply pour into a pan for boiling through a fine sieve to prevent small particles from entering.
From 4 buckets of apples and 4 hours of labor (from the beginning of washing apples to seaming) we get this result.

Yes, not fast, but tasty and healthy. As the saying goes, "what you sink, then you dig." Ahead is a long winter and all the ensuing.

For this season, we have already pressed about 150 liters of apple juice with the Salyut SVPR-201 juicer. And that’s not all, there are a lot of apples in the garden.

And this is for comparison, the juice obtained from the previous juicer and new. Juice from Salute on the right.

True, there are lovers of juice with pulp, in this juicer this is also possible.

With all the shortcomings I have, I will still recommend buying a Salyut SVPR-201 juicer. Are there any better and more worthy ones?

Juicer Rossoshanka

This appliance is a centrifuge juicer. Designed for squeezing juice from hard fruits.

power - 200 W
productivity - processes 70 kg of apples per hour,
spin efficiency - 50%,
loading hole - wide,
automatic reset of cake - no,
device weight - 13 kg,
work cycle - 10 minutes.

This model is considered a modernized copy of the Salut juicer known to many.

high build quality,
tight fit of all parts
high quality plastic
quite stylish design,
moderate noise level
high performance,
protection of fruit seeds from damage,
the quality of the juice.

This device is ideal for harvesting juice from apples. It works efficiently and quickly. However, in the process a lot of oilcake accumulates around the centrifuge’s perimeter and this affects the operation of the unit and its productivity.

strong vibration
spent raw materials must be removed manually
not suitable for soft fruits and citrus fruits.

If you doubt between Salute and Rossoshanka, the following moments will help you make a choice:

The Rossoshanka support disk is two times thinner than the Salute.
The Russian model has a centrifuge made of solid metal, while the Belarusian model has a welded one.
Rossoshanka has a higher build quality. In the process, the juice does not leak through the joints of the parts.
The Belarusian model has a wider groove for laying fruit.

A similar design also has a slightly more powerful juicer.

Juicer Summer cottage

This model is also created in accordance with a single GOST. Outwardly, it is somewhat different from Rossoshanka and Salut - the drain from it is located below, and part of the support sole is cut out in a semicircle.

engine power - 280 W,
productivity - 60 kg per hour,
operating mode - intermittent,
built-in reservoir for collecting juice - not available,
automatic reset of cake - no,
device weight - 10.5 kg
spin quality - at least 50% for 1 time,
drink quality - purity more than 90%,
internal construction - stainless
loading chute - wide,
internal mesh is missing,
work cycle - 20 minutes.

A feature of this unit is the braking function. It is also possible to process tomatoes in it. Mesh guides allow you to reduce vibration and noise during operation.

There are some difficulties in caring for this device:

The main bowl can be washed only by washing with water, since it is bolted to the main structure.
You can remove the cake only with a spatula.
Completely get the whole cake can only be done with a centrifuge.
It will be difficult for a beginner to manage it.

Comparison of the juice extractor Dachnitsa and Salut shows that despite the higher capacity of the Kursk aggregate, Penzmash wins in assembly and easy handling.

Neptune Juicer

Some choose Stavropol Neptune. This is another domestic-made juicer for processing a large number of apples.

power - 320 W,
productivity - processes up to 120 kg in 1 hour,
automatic discharge of waste raw materials - available,
juice tank - built-in,
weight - 8 kg
efficiency - 45-50%.

This unit easily squeezes not only apples, but also vegetables and berries.

Advantages of this device:

Weight is significantly less than similar models. Dimensions are convenient - the device is easy to carry and disassemble.
High performance.
Even large whole fruits are processed.
Automatic discharge of waste materials.
The presence of accelerated rotation with air capture.
Devices can be fixed to the floor using special bolts.

the juice is pulp
the unit makes a noise
the grater is quite difficult to clean,
the spin ratio is lower than that of cylindrical.

Someone may be looking for European counterparts of Russian and Belarusian juicers. But such attempts will remain unsuccessful, since in other countries the processing at home of a large amount of the crop is not particularly practiced.

Of course, the models described above are not without flaws, however, for many years they satisfy customers with their high performance. After all, they can easily cope with hundreds of kilograms of apples and other fruits!

How to choose

Russian juicers for summer cottages differ from household structures in several ways:

high performance. Country juicers are characterized by compact but heavy parts that allow the machine to process a large number of fruits as a whole. A few liters in 20 minutes is the norm.
availability. Due to some savings in design, companies can simplify the functionality and reduce the price of juicers to the most acceptable for the buyer. You can find Salute or Neptune models in any hardware store,
ease of use. Squeezer designs are simplified to the maximum. It remains only to press the "enable" button and the device is shown action. Externally, the design of all Russian models is simple - no additions.

If you are looking for a suitable device for squeezing fruit juice for giving, then it is better to immediately read the brief instructions of each juicer, guided by the following indicators:

power - an important criterion by which the energy consumption of a juicer is estimated. If the device is planned to be used often, then the power is needed in the equivalent of 300-500 W,
performance - shows the working hours of the press itself. As a rule, domestic manufacturers set the longest periods of continuous operation - from 6 to 8 hours,
warranty period - Another parameter that indicates the quality of the juicer. The longer the warranty, the better
case material - most often, in summer cottages, a plastic base. This is used in order to simplify the model so that during operation extra parts do not interfere,
kind of filter - affects the operation of the entire machine. There are several types of spin that are laid as automatic modes in the design. Some filters must be cleaned as they are used.

Using these criteria, you can safely browse suitable models.

Models

There are several interesting devices for squeezing juice from Russian companies. All of them are worthy of attention.

To understand not only the differences of one model from another, but also to identify the advantages of each, a brief analysis is simply necessary. Models "Salute", "Summer resident" and "Neptune", according to reviews, have the best performance. But which one is better? Based on the opinions, we will make a clear description of each of the models.

Reviews

According to user feedback, the Salut model is the best juicer for a summer residence. According to the owners, it is best to use it for harvesting for the winter: you can get about a hundred liters of juice at a time. The disadvantages include the inability to stably fix the device and the inconvenience of manual cleaning.

Customers are also distinguished by high performance and excellent quality juice. The Neptune model has just as many positive reviews. This design praises the automatic ejection of oilcake, quality of work and minimum noise.

“Summer resident” juicers are bought much less often, as the owners say that models often need refinement. Some users do not like frequent shutdowns.

Against this background, the Rossoshanka juicer is recommended if the use of a juicer is infrequent.

Device and purpose

The Salute juicer is designed to obtain juice from various vegetables and fruits. Using this technique, tomatoes, grapes, apples, pears, carrots and more are processed. The equipment is manufactured by the domestic manufacturer Penzmash.

The device has a common unit, hinged cover, mesh. In the lower part there is a cylindrical engine, in the upper part there is a squeezing mechanism and a receiving compartment for juice. The cover is attached to the product with a simple clip. The components of the apparatus are alternately placed inside, fastened with a nut. A thin and flexible sieve made of plastic is inserted separately, with the help of which cake is subsequently removed. After fruit or vegetables get into the equipment, a spinning disk grinds them, then juice is squeezed out of the resulting mass. On the side is a removable tube, from where the final product flows.

Specifications

The Salute juicer can be used both in the household and in small production facilities. It has the following specifications:

equipment productivity - 60 kilograms per hour,
device weight - 11 kg, dimensions - 394x423x434 mm,
rated power consumption is not more than 400 W,
the engine has a rotational speed of 1380 rpm,
the equipment case is made of impact-resistant plastic, which provides resistance to mechanical damage,
the mesh is made of stainless steel, which guarantees its resistance to corrosion and other negative environmental influences,
has a high efficiency.

Consumer opinion about this juicer remains mixed. Half of the users consider the device productive and comfortable to use. The other half emphasizes only flaws, saying that the price does not match the quality.

Advantages and disadvantages

Description and characteristics of the Salute juicer indicate that it belongs to the category of semi-professional equipment for home use. Advantages of equipment:

ease of use due to the closed type of construction,
the production of materials such as metal and plastic, which positively affect the duration of use of the product,
the possibility of obtaining a large amount of juice as soon as possible,
ease of control due to the presence of a lever with three positions (neutral, stop, turn on),
the presence of a wide loading hole (80 mm), eliminating the need for excessive grinding of products,
dry cake obtained during operation lags well behind the net - a fairly light blow to any surface is enough
the presence of a direct juice supply system,
compact size, ease of transportation and storage,
the opportunity to get juice not only from hard, but also soft vegetables, fruits,
availability to a wide range of customers (average price - about 8000 rubles),
easy to disassemble and wash.

The device has disadvantages. It creates noise during the extraction of juice, which causes inconvenience during operation. Since the device has a high power, this causes its vibration. The technique does not automatically eject the pulp, it must be done on its own. Another significant minus - the device heats up during prolonged use, it needs breaks. The disadvantage is the lack of a bowl for juice and pulp in the set - during operation, you have to substitute other containers.

Use and Care Tips

The instruction for the Salyut SVPR 201 juicer contains information on the rules for its use. It states that the preparation of equipment for work is carried out in the first place, which consists in the correct assembly. When performing this action, you need to ensure that the protrusions on the disk fully enter the holes that are located in the drum.

When assembling and disassembling the equipment, the key must not get into the electric motor. During the work, it is installed on the motor shaft. At the next stage, tighten the screw - you do not need to apply excessive force. The mesh is set so that the flanging and the ring of polyethylene are at the top. The lid is tightly closed, fixed with a latch that can be rotated in any direction. The clearance between the lower edge of the loading chamber and the lower part is adjusted using a washer, which is located below.

The juicer is mounted on a table or other vertical surface. Felt or thin rubber is placed under the equipment so that it does not slip during operation. The switch key is set to the middle position. Under the nozzle is placed a container for collecting juice. Before turning on the equipment, check its assembly. To do this, take a wooden object, the engine shaft is rotated through the loading hole for the grater. If the device sticks or parts of it rub against plastic, then this indicates improper assembly. The juicer does not attach to the surface at all, it is recommended to hold it during operation to prevent strong vibration and shifts.

In order to get a delicious, aromatic juice, you must first prepare vegetables and fruits. They are washed, cut into pieces. In terms of size, the products should be smaller than the feed opening. To load vegetables and fruits, you do not need to use special devices.

After turning on the equipment, you need to wait until the engine starts, then start loading vegetables or fruits. Serve them one at a time, waiting until the previous batch is processed.

After you get 2-3 liters of juice, you need to let the equipment work idle so that the liquid comes out in full. After that, the switch key is put into “stop” mode. After 8 seconds, the lid is removed from the equipment, the mesh is pulled out and washed under running water. The remaining parts are also cleaned. It is strictly forbidden to wash plastic parts in hot water, as this can lead to their deformation. After thoroughly drying all the parts, the juicer is assembled.

When using the equipment, the user must adhere to safety regulations:

assembly, disassembly of equipment should be carried out only if it is disconnected from the power supply network,
while the equipment is in operation, it is forbidden to touch its rotating parts with your hands,
Never immerse the electric drive in water,
drying of plastic parts on surfaces whose temperature is more than 40 degrees is not recommended, as this can lead to their deformation,
the official instructions for the Penzmash and Salute juicers forbids leaving the equipment in working condition unattended,
after the device’s engine is stopped, it is forbidden to hold the switch in the braking position by pressing,
Before connecting the juicer to the mains, you need to check whether its voltage corresponds to that specified in the instructions for the equipment,
removing the equipment cover, unloading waste until the electric motor stops completely or when connecting to the mains, the juicer is prohibited,
if the cover is removed or not closed, it is forbidden to connect the equipment to the mains.

If excessive vibration of the equipment is observed during operation, it is recommended to turn it off and clean it of waste.

Salyut juicer is a semi-professional machine that has a high coefficient of performance. The equipment has a closed design, which ensures ease of use. In order to avoid damage to the equipment, you must strictly adhere to the rules for its operation.

Instrument design

The Salute household appliance is by its design the simplest machine in the line of domestic-made juicers.

The case is made of high impact white plastic. The apparatus consists of a cone-shaped base, a narrowed connecting belt and a sufficiently voluminous bowl with constituent elements that are directly involved in the grinding and extraction of raw materials. A detachable tube is attached to the side of the casing, designed for continuous supply of juice.

The working part includes a lid with a medium-sized loading compartment, through which small apples easily pass. To process large fruits, you will have to cut them into at least two parts.

The lid is placed on the main container and secured with a simple clip. Inside the housing, the filter in the form of a stainless steel cylinder with large round cells and a grinding disk are alternately folded onto the axis of the cylindrical engine. Everything is securely fastened with a plastic nut using the key included in the composition.

A soft plastic sieve is inserted separately, which has a cut for ease of use, and along the upper and lower edges there are small bends. Thanks to this design of structures, it is easier to clean the device from the pulp that collects on the walls of a plastic filter mesh. To implement this process, it is enough to lift the lid, remove the soft filter and get rid of the cake by lightly hitting any surface or edge of the bucket into which waste is collected. Then just put the grid in its place and continue to work.

The plastic case is not equipped with any additional devices for fastening to the surface, so during operation you will have to constantly hold the device to prevent its shifts and vibration.

Users of the juicer note increased usability when placed on the floor and equipped with a rubber gasket between the bottom and surface.

Advantages and disadvantages

Juice squeezer for apples Salute has been popular with gardeners for many years. This model replaced the discontinued Rossoshanka. Given the popularity of the latter, the design of the device is fully justified.

Thanks to the proven build quality, which is put in first place during development, you can safely use the machine for at least 6 years under the warranty in the instructions, and according to reviews - 2 times longer.

Like the Belarusian model, Salyut juicers are designed to process a large number of solid vegetables and fruits, while ensuring the production of clean and high-quality juice.

The positive sides of the unit include its compact size and low weight, which make it easy to store and transport the device.

Given the design features, all the components do not touch each other, friction and mechanical depletion of the sieve, disk and upper tank are excluded.

If we consider the disadvantages of a juicer, then they are as follows:

Loud noise and vibration during operation.
The need to hold the device to prevent its movement on the surface.
Lack of automatic ejection of pulp.
The unaesthetic appearance of the juicer is much inferior to foreign-made models.
Are not included in the package bowls for juice and pulp. However, this is compensated by the shape of the device, which allows you to substitute any capacity that is in the house.
Low safety of use due to the absence of blocking the operation of the engine with the cover open or improper assembly.

Equipment Care

Any electrical appliance needs proper care, otherwise it leads to damage to components and engine damage.

To begin with, immediately after purchasing a Salyut appliance, you must carefully read the user manual. Before starting the machine for the first time, you need to study the fastening system, inspect all work items for marriage, clean them from industrial grease and dust.

The optimum temperature for storing the device ranges from + 1 ... + 35 ° С, therefore, in case of transportation at sub-zero temperatures, it is necessary to allow the engine to warm up in the room for at least 2 hours.

After using it for its intended purpose, the unit must be disconnected from the electricity network, using a plastic key, disassemble the moving structures and wash them thoroughly. To clean various holes and recesses, it is recommended to use a brush.

Before assembling the washed parts, it is important to wait until they are completely dry, otherwise mold and fungus may appear.

Analogs

Most domestic juicers have a similar design and equipment. Units are aimed at production volumes of processing, their price is practically the same. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to make a choice in the direction of a particular model.

Many people ask, the Belarusian juice extractor Rossoshanka or Salut - which is better. Both the first and second, which is made according to its prototype, are almost identical. If the gardener was the happy owner of the first, then for a replacement she can safely buy the Russian counterpart.

Another Russian juicer Dachnitsa is similar in comparison with Salyut - high productivity with low engine power, a narrow focus on processing (hard vegetables and fruits), and a high yield of pure product.

If it is necessary not only to obtain juice, but also to chop or chop something, you can search for devices with additional graters and chopping discs. The cost of such units will be an order of magnitude higher than simple ones, but they combine several functions, which is better than acquiring different equipment for each type of processing.
