Jun 03, 2017

If you are in the market for a two-stage and cold-press juicer there are really only two options.

We get asked a lot how our PURE Juicer compares tothe traditional Norwalk Juicer. While to the novice they may look the same, there are actually manysignificant differences between them. We like to focus on just a few key features that make a big difference. The PURE's:

  • Cutter and offset feed tube are better - no pre-chopping required.
  • Cold press operates makes more juice at it's higher pressure
  • Is easier to clean and wipe down and is now $500 less than the Norwalk

We guarantee you get more juicer for your buck.
You also get more juice per squeeze, your milage may vary.

While both Mercedes and Chevrolethave four tires and a steering wheel they are not the same. PURE has taken two stage juicing to an all new level.

The most obvious difference is the PURE Juicer’s modern gorgeousdesignwith smooth rounded edges it is. countertop eye-candy in any kitchen. Design is built in, notan afterthought, you'll be glad you picked the pretty one.

Top Detail

Symmetrical or Asymmetrical?

Norwalk Juicer

The Norwalk is asymmetrical, with a slower motor, to accommodate the motor length creating a clunky design.

NORWALK JUICER AND PURE JUICER COMPARISON (3)

PURE Juicer

PURE designed a custom motor with more power but shorter in length allowing for a smooth modern design.

A core principle of good design is “form follows function”.Good design goes beyond appearance; sothe difference truly is in the details.

Norwalk Juicer 290

The Norwalk Juicer Feed has too much offset. This requires pre-chopping. Also, the feed tube transition into the cutting chamber is not a smooth transition also making it hard to feed produce. Finally, the feed tube is a massive 4lbs.

PURE Juicer

The PURE Juicer Feed has the perfect offset. Nopre-chopping required. Also, the feed tube transition issmooth transition making it easyto feed produce. Finally, the feed tube is only 3lbs!

Best of all, the PURE Juicer’s patented twist and lock feed tube makes it very easy to takeit apart for cleaning and it effortlessclicks back together to make another juice.No wing nuts or screws – just an easy push of a button. Also no pre-chopping, just feed your produce straight into the PURE 8 tooth cutter.

Press Chamber Detail

Thelarger PURE press chamber with the central side post allows for easier and more comfortable access and as well as a taller a deeper press chamber to work in. there are no corner posts to block access then placing pulp packs.

It also means you can press three pulp packs instead of just two and pressup to 50% more juice in one squeeze.

PURE Cutter Detail

Easy to recognize, a significant difference is that the PURE cutter comes with eight teeth instead of five to better cut your produce, especially greens. This will enhance your juicing experience by providing a smoother, and more efficient cut.

NORWALK JUICER AND PURE JUICER COMPARISON (13)

PURE Cutters are now available in two styles:

  1. Left, #304 stainless steel straight tooth (same material as Norwalk)
  2. Right, #440C surgical grade stainless steel cutter with serrated teeth, heat treated and hardened to Rc55. Same as what is commonly used in surgeons scalpels and chefs knives. The benefit this PURE Cutter is that it rarely or never needs sharpening and if it does, send it in for free sharpening.

Press Handle Detail

notice how the PURE handle is built-in as part of the design, rather. than added as an afterthought?

Also notice the thickness of the base plate, the PURE is double the thickness and 8x the stiffness. The PURE Chassis is strong and does not flex.

Another example for thought-through design are the grids.

NORWALK JUICER AND PURE JUICER COMPARISON (21)

Each PURE grid is made individually (not cut from a big sheet). This process enables us to number every grid for easy identification and makes for a smooth sided shapewith no sharp edges. It increases the ‘open area’ of the grid from 61% to 75% deducing clogging and allowing pulp to flow through the greg without overheating.

What this means to you is an easy to identify, user-friendly grid that requires less push force to triturate your produce.
