Touch ‘N Review – Angel Juicers Basic & Strong Angelia Series
Stay Faithful to the Basics
Not falling for the flashy, the ‘vigorous’ juicer
From some point in time, the popularity of the juicer has been stagnant. In fact, these days processors are more common than juicers. They are certainly cheaper, simpler, and their product tastes good. Compared to that, juicers are somewhat old-fashioned even from the name. Light and trendy designs are hard to find. Some even go so far as to diss juicers, saying only extracted juice that doesn’t involve cutting products ‘real juice’ without nutrient destruction. However, juicers have a charm that cannot be obtained by processors. The heavy design that does not follow trends, performance that changes vegetables and fruits that are difficult to squeeze into fruit juice, the production of more juice, Cosumer Journal E-Buzz (www.ebuzz.co.kr) takes a look into the advantages and disadvantages of juicers.

◇ Design - Armed with stainless steel from top to bottom
The first and most noticeable part is the silver surface with its polished finish.
Design defines the identity of the product. Although there may be differences in the evaluation by each person, the design seems somewhat smarter than that of other products that have been styled in assorted colors. You can notice at once that the Angelia Juicer is a product that pays special attention to safety rather than a pretty appearance.
The 7000 model is made of 304 stainless steel. Everything that comes in contact with food, including the body, gears, juice, and other parts, is stainless steel. This is a reflection of the concern that exposure to environmental hormones and heavy metals may be caused by the use of aluminum or plastic materials. Stainless steel is evaluated as the safest cooking tool with along with glass. It is durable, does not easily rust, and is hygienic.
The disadvantage is that it weighs 13 kg. Also, since handprints are clearly displayed on the exterior, it has to be wiped frequently to look tidy. The price is three to four times higher than other products.
There is a separate cover on the juice net. It prevents the juice from splashing during the juicing process. Since it is removable, it can be selectively used depending on the material. When you remove the cover, you can see the juice net. Choppers are divided into crushing net, extraction net, and the discharge part. Because the waste of fiber comes out from the discharge side, a special container is needed. Under the crushing net and the squeeze net, you can place a container to hold the juice.
The regular net is more compact than the optional fruit net. If you put a juicy fruit in a net that is too dense, it slows down more than necessary. The difference in hole size is part of the design for efficient juicing. This portion of the juice net and the main body is clipped to prevent juice from flowing. If you release this clip ring, you can separate the juice net.
The opening is about 10.5㎝ long. The diameter of the opening is rather wide, so you should refrain from putting your hands into it. The length of the gear is 22 cm and the thickness is 3.4 cm. The actuating button is on the left side. The yellow 'REV` button is pressed when using the reverse function. You can use it alternately with the start button when you put in too much material. Stop with the red `STOP` button. Use the green 'START` button for normal juice.
◇ Safety - From safety gear to foreign materials warning
Motor protection devices, waterproof switches, child protection devices, and overheating protection sensors prevent safety accidents.
It is equipped with a safety gear which prevents damage of the motor reduction gear part which is the core of the product. The device is located in the gearbox. On the underside of the product is a specially designed cooling fan. After the juice is finished, the fan starts. It stops after a certain amount of time. This cooling fan increases the motor efficiency and extends the product life. The fuse box is located under the power terminal, so you can deal with a current change.
Electromagnetic waves are intercepted. The harmfulness of electromagnetic waves is already widely recognized. An electromagnetic interference (EMI) system has been introduced so that users are not exposed to electromagnetic waves when using the product. The system has been certified in Korea, Japan, Australia, and Europe.
A proximity sensor is mounted at the bottom of the juice net. It does not work when the product is disconnected. This prevents accidents from curious little children touching the motor.
From the Angelia 7000 model and above, intelligent sensors are installed. A beep sounds when a foreign object is inserted. When too much material is injected, it is designed to get more juice with an automatic reverse rotation function. The operating button area is waterproofed to prevent leakage.
As important as the safety function, the user needs to be familiar with the correct juicing method. The material must first be cut to the appropriate size. Also, vegetables or fruit must not be placed in the opening too quickly. When a large amount of material enters suddenly, the juice may flow back toward the opening. The material must be completely inserted and put in. Loose material should be pushed slowly with a slight strength.
◇ Performance and Technology – To the last drop through three-steep extraction gear technology
Depending on how the nutrients are consumed, the amount absorbed by the body varies. Juicing removes the flesh of fruit and vegetables and extracts only the juice. It is better absorbed into the capillaries than regular consumption of raw vegetables.
However, not all juicers use the same extraction method. Therefore, when choosing a product, the method of extraction is an important issue. `Good green juice` comes from crushing the vegetable fibers and extract the nutrients. The sad situation of putting valuable nutrients into the garbage must be avoided.
The juicer has been developed with the centrifugal separation method, the external gear method, and the dual gear method. The centrifugal separation is easy to understand if you imagine the dehydration function of the washing machine. When crushed material is rotated at high speed, water is separated by centrifugal force. On the other hand, the gear equation is a method of pressing a material with a screw.
Centrifugation is known to have a high nutrient loss. So most juicers are gear type nowadays. Outer gears have a lower juicing ratio than twin gears. The twin gears squeeze the material between the two screws pressurizing it. Inevitably, this method outdoes the outer gear method.
The Angelia series is a juicer that utilizes a twin-gear system. Once a cone-shaped screw rotates at low speed, it creates pressure. After that, the pressure generated by the multi-step pressing method is dispersed in three steps and then the juice is extracted.
Precise grinding is essential for obtaining many nutrients. The first stage uses a pair of gears to finely grind more than 60% of the material. Stage 2 is a strong squeeze where about 80% of the material is squeezed. The third step is to squeeze out the remaining nutrients and then separate and discharge the debris. It is a method to extract as much of the rich nutrients contained in the fiber as possible. There is no problem handling strong or tough seeds or stems.
It is not just produce more juice than other juicers. The low speed rotation minimizes nutrient destruction. According to the results of Korea Food Research Institute, the amount of juice was 1.9 times higher than that of other products, the magnesium was up to 5 times higher, and calcium was 17 times higher.
Many of the products sold on the market filter out juice immediately after only a single press. In contrast, Angelia grinds, compresses, and performs an additional compression once more with an 82-unit-per-minute speed reduction gear. Thanks to that, you can produce more juice with the same amount of material.
The juice rate is good, but there are disadvantages. It takes a long time. This is due to the complicated process of extracting juice compared to other gear systems. It is not easy to clean. Scraped fibers should be scraped with a cleaning knife. It is not easy to watch the juice process because the material is not transparent.
◇ E-Buzz General summary – Stay faithful to the basics.
Angel’s Angelia Series is a product faithful to the nature of the juicing. It adopts the twin gear method which is advantageous for juicing, and added to that the three-stage process. When the finished juice was filtered with the mesh, there was almost no fibrin residue. It produces a satisfactory juice rate. It is also impressive that we can get as much nutrients as possible from the fibrous cells of plants.
Regarding safety part, one also feels prudence. The strong stainless steel material was used throughout the product. Safety devices were also properly placed throughout the product. Unfortunately, it is difficult to clean once. Though the parts have been simplified more than before, it is hard to call it simple. It is hard to move because it weighs more than other products.
One of the inconveniences people have in the kitchen is that you have to put it in one place with all the other kitchen utensils. The juice rate is slower more than meticulous. It is hard to prepare juice in the busy morning hours.
Overall, it does not seem to make any compromises for the functionality of the juice, whether it's design or user convenience. In short, it is a product with "vigor." The juicer’s performance can be trusted.
So, the phrase we have chosen is “Stay faithful to the basics.” The Angelia series has some inconveniences, but it does not forget the "basics" of the juicer that transforms the vegetables, so it is enough to bring satisfaction to the user.
