- Faster juicing than masticating kind but produces less juice
Available in stores

Masticating
- More versatile but more expensive & time consuming to clean than centrifugal kind
- Works at slower speeds than centrifugal kind but produces more juice especially from leafy greens
Has an auger with blades which basically crunches which basically crunches the fruit or veggies in to pulp. So rough rather than sharp blades, like a chewing motion.
Can also make baby food or nut butters with it.
