Compare Juicers
AG-8500 scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
Every surface your food touches is made from 316 surgical-grade stainless steel -- the same material used in medical instruments. It is completely non-reactive with acidic fruits and vegetables.
The filter basket is stainless steel -- a safe, non-reactive material for the surface that contacts produce during extraction.
Your juice collects in a glass container, which is chemically inert. Nothing leaches into your juice, no matter how long it sits.
The juice container material isn't disclosed. Your juice sits in this container after extraction, and we can't verify what it's made of.
BPA is not a concern here because this juicer contains no plastic food-contact parts at all.
BPA-free is confirmed, though with undisclosed container materials the claim only covers the components that are identified.
PFAS (forever chemicals) are not a concern because stainless steel and glass inherently cannot contain them.
Qcen makes no statement about PFAS content. Without knowing the full material list, we can't confirm or deny the presence of PFAS.
Angel Juicer discloses the exact grade of every material in the machine. You know exactly what your food is touching.
Only the filter material is specified. The container, housing, and other food-contact parts remain unidentified -- we're working with an incomplete picture.
No independent lab has tested this machine for heavy metal content. While 316 stainless steel is inherently safe, formal testing would confirm it.
No independent lab has tested this juicer for heavy metal contamination.
Twin-gear extraction crushes produce between two interlocking gears, squeezing out more juice with less heat than any other method. Your juice retains more vitamins and enzymes.
Centrifugal juicing extracts fast but generates heat that breaks down nutrients. Leafy greens like kale and spinach won't juice well with this method.
The 180W motor is well-matched to the slow extraction speed. It handles most fruits and vegetables without straining, though very hard produce like frozen wheatgrass may require pre-cutting.
500W provides solid extraction force for most fruits and vegetables -- no issues with apples, oranges, or cucumbers.
At just 82 RPM, this juicer generates almost no heat during extraction. That means less oxidation and juice that stays fresh for up to 72 hours in the fridge.
At 18,000 RPM, this juicer generates significant heat during extraction. Vitamins and enzymes break down quickly -- drink your juice within minutes for best nutrition.
There is one fixed strainer with no way to adjust pulp level. If you prefer very smooth or very pulpy juice, you will need to strain separately.
One strainer, one pulp level. You can't adjust texture -- what you get is what you get.
No noise level measurement is available for this model. Twin-gear juicers are generally quieter than centrifugal models, but we cannot confirm this without measured data.
No noise measurement is available. Centrifugal juicers are generally loud -- expect noticeable noise during operation.
All parts must be hand washed. The stainless steel components are durable and easy to scrub, but expect 10-15 minutes of cleanup after each use.
Removable parts go in the dishwasher, making daily cleanup quick and easy.
Five parts to take apart and reassemble -- a manageable number that keeps cleanup straightforward.
The number of parts to disassemble isn't specified in the product listing.
At 10.5 inches tall, this fits comfortably under standard kitchen cabinets. You can leave it on the counter without it dominating the space.
At under 8 inches tall, this fits comfortably under any standard kitchen cabinet. Easy to store on the counter permanently.
A 10-year warranty is the longest in this category by far. Angel Juicer clearly stands behind the durability of this machine.
A 2-year warranty is decent for a $53 juicer -- better than average for this price range and the best warranty among the budget options we reviewed.
At $2,280, this is a significant investment. The value proposition depends on how often you juice -- for daily use over a decade, the cost per juice is quite reasonable given the 10-year warranty.
At $53, this is the most affordable juicer we reviewed. The low price is attractive, but factor in the material unknowns when assessing true value.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You juice daily and want the safest possible food-contact materials for your family.
You are willing to invest in a commercial-grade machine backed by a 10-year warranty.
Full material transparency and zero plastic food-contact surfaces are non-negotiable for you.
You value maximum nutrient retention and are willing to trade speed for juice quality.
You want the most affordable juicer in the batch and primarily juice simple fruits like apples and oranges.
A compact under-8-inch design that fits under any cabinet is important for your kitchen layout.
Dishwasher-safe parts and a 2-year warranty matter more to you than material transparency.
You're okay drinking juice immediately -- centrifugal extraction means nutrients degrade within hours.
The main thing to know
At $2,280, this is the most expensive juicer in the category by a wide margin. The 10-year warranty and surgical-grade stainless steel justify the investment for daily juicers, but this is not a casual purchase.
The juice container material is undisclosed and PFAS status unknown -- at this price point, material transparency is minimal and you're trusting an unfamiliar brand with limited safety documentation.
Skip this if you...
You juice occasionally and cannot justify a $2,280 investment for a kitchen appliance.
You need dishwasher-safe parts because hand-washing after every use is a dealbreaker.
You prefer fast juicing -- centrifugal machines produce juice in seconds, not minutes.
Knowing exactly what materials your juice touches is important to your family -- the container is undisclosed.
You want juice that stays nutrient-rich for hours -- the 18,000 RPM extraction causes rapid degradation.
You juice leafy greens regularly -- centrifugal juicers extract them poorly.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
