If you're looking for a way to both maintain and restore your health, a cold-press juicer like the VerVita XXL will be one of the first things on your kitchen appliance shopping list. Since the VerVita XXL juicer comes with a smoothie strainer and an ice cream strainer in addition to a juicer, it may be the only appliance you'll ever need, as this is a true 3-in-1 device.

VerVita XXL juicer

Regardless of the fact that the blender was first in my purchase order, followed by the dehydrator, a juicer inevitably joined them.

Although I would have preferred to buy the most expensive device, reason prevailed, so I chose the VerVita XXL, which seems to be the best value for money, especially if you plan to make juices from fruit, root vegetables, and green leaves. But let's start in order.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX?

1. inlet funnel
2. juicing bowl (with juice outlet plug and pulp outlet)
3. juice strainer
4. smoothie strainer
5. ice cream sieve
6. screw
7th base
8. pusher
9. cleaning brush
10. juice container
11. pulp container

In addition to the above parts, the box also contained the book The Power of Green Juices with 110 recipes for squeezed and pureed green juices, authored by Miroslav Juraj, which is an excellent help for ideas in the beginning, but also in the long run.

ADVANTAGES:

I must admit that I was surprised by the quality of the parts and the entire device, since, probably like most of you, I am always skeptical when someone mentions that the origin of the product is China. However, the plastic looks and feels good, and the base and screw are quite heavy, which further indicates the quality. I was curious, so I weighed the weight of the screw. The scale showed a significant 630 grams.

Another advantage I would definitely like to highlight is the quiet, almost silent operation. While I wake up the whole neighborhood with the blender in the morning, the VerVita juicer is not heard by the household members, let alone the neighbors. Only when making green juices that contain more fiber, a 'whining' sound is heard, but even that sound cannot be called noisy.

Since I keep a blender and a food processor on the worktop in the kitchen, I was afraid that the new family member would cause a mess by taking up a lot of space, but its dimensions are actually acceptable (25 x 18.3 x 48.3 cm), so my trio of household appliances now live in harmonious coexistence.

When it comes to cleaning, some might be hesitant given the number of parts mentioned earlier. However, cleaning is simple and quick. You can usually wash almost all parts under running water without using a sponge. The sieve is the only part that you need to clean thoroughly every time to prevent food build-up, but with the help of a brush this is no problem. Simply set the washed parts aside to drain.

The 5-year warranty on the engine and 1-year warranty on other parts is sure to make you even happier, just like it did me.

DECISION:

Although I was the one who initiated the purchase of the juicer and looked forward to it like a little child, I must admit that after the purchase, it became the favorite household appliance of our youngest family members. In the first two days, we spent about 200kn on fruit because they wanted to try all the combinations. We can truly say that we overdosed on juices. Of course, we soon pulled ourselves together and now we make juices on average once a day.

When I decided to buy a juicer, I knew I wanted to use it for all possible combinations of juices. Green, red, yellow, orange, all fruits, leafy vegetables, root vegetables. That's why, thanks to the help and suggestions of the kind Mr. Miroslav from VerVita, whose knowledge and experience far surpasses mine, I decided to buy the VerVita XXL, which will satisfy all my needs and desires. However, what I didn't know was that with this juicer I would also get a smoothie strainer and an ice cream strainer, but that I would also be able to make nut milk!

Before I bought the juicer, I took advantage of the Open House at VerVita and went sightseeing with my whole family. The VerVita staff gave us apple juice and orange ice cream to taste. It was love at first sight. The juicer moved into our home the same day.

SQUEEZING:

The first thing we squeezed, or rather the kids squeezed, was apple and orange juice, which was absolutely perfect. We added a few walnuts to it, just like they offered us at VerVita. After that, I squeezed a green juice that I made from parsley leaves, Swiss chard, celery, and mint, with the addition of apple, lemon, and ginger root. In the meantime, there were many more combinations with fruits and vegetables, and many are still waiting to be tried. The quality and ease with which this juicer processes fruits, but also leafy vegetables and root vegetables is at a high level.

Fruit juices are what will be an absolute hit with the whole family, regardless of age, from children to the oldest. Whatever combination of fruits we tried, they were all extremely delicious. And as for the juicer, its work is impeccable, it is quiet, and the pulp comes out almost dry. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the quality of the apples. If you choose floury apples, your juice will come out thick, like a smoothie, which is not wrong, but you will not get thin juice.

The green juices come out exactly as they should, the pulp is dry, the taste is wonderfully intense. The only thing is that you will hear a slight whine with some vegetables, but, as I already mentioned, it is far from noise or an unpleasant sound.

Juices from root vegetables like beets and carrots are also something that, although hard, your VerVita XXL juicer will turn into juice with ease.

Ice cream is made exclusively from frozen fruit, which is ready to eat in a few seconds. Everyone adores him. It doesn't ask for any extras, just fruit. Wonderfully.

What hasn't come up yet are smoothies and milkshakes. But I can't wait to try those too. I'm looking forward to many more recipes that I'll be posting on Zelenarium.

CONCLUSION:

For those who don't know, it's important to get a juicer like this one that makes juices using the cold-pressing principle (slow rotation, 65 revolutions per minute), which means that the ingredients are not heated, so the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes remain in the juice itself. Juices prepared in this way are true guardians of your health for many years to come. That's why I highly recommend that you do something for yourself and invest in a quality juicer like the VerVita XXL.

If you are unsure which device to choose, be sure to stop by VerVita, they will be happy to give you advice, just as they did for me.
