 L’Equip have taken the single auger juicer design to the next level
with the 509 VISOR Natural Processor and somehow managed to produce a
wheatgrass capable juicer at a significantly lower price than other electric
models. The feeding chamber has been offset from centre, allowing the
auger to effectively draw produce in; leaves, wheatgrass and foods that
don’t fit the chamber too tightly will practically self-feed with
just a little help from the food pusher.
 The auger (screw) has been modified to place greater pressure on produce
as it passes the juicing screen. The screen itself has also been redesigned
and allows less pulp to pass into the juice, so most users wont bother
with sieving - a necessity with other single auger juicers. The juice
yield is excellent (see the Juicer Comparison page and table) as is the
quality of juice from this low-speed masticating machine. It will process
most produce efficiently and is particularly good with greens and soft
fruits.
The VISOR is more than simply a juicer and can be used for a whole range
of natural food processing functions. It comes with an assortment of end
nozzles for producing pasta and noodles, and a blank screen which can
be used for mincing, pureeing and making healthy baby foods and fresh
frozen fruit “ice creams” and sorbets. This will undoubtedly
make the VISOR very popular with raw food enthusiasts.
This juicer is clearly from the same design stable as it’s relative,
the 110.5 Pulp Ejector. L’Equip want you to keep this machine on
your counter top for daily use and not in the cupboard; removal of the
juicing parts (all dishwasher-safe), allows the "Stealth Visor"
to be flipped down giving an appealing, eye-catching appearance. The slow
and quiet masticating action helps preserve maximum nutritional value
throughout the juicing and processing applications, and it is one of the
easier juicers on the market to clean.
 The VISOR makes a perfect choice for people who want excellent results
with wheatgrass and leafy greens and to take advantage of its other processing
capabilities (if you don’t need to juice wheatgrass and don’t
juice lots of greens regularly, we recommend the Champion
Juicer). The Visor gets excellent results with most fruits and
vegetables but it can be a little slow with apples, particularly if they
are quite ripe. The reverse gear helps speed things up. Remember, it is
the slow masticating action that gets more goodness into your juice; your
patience is rewarded with a superior quality juice.
