NORWALK JUICER AND PURE JUICER COMPARISON

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 to the traditional Norwalk Juicer. While to the novice they may look the same, there are actually many significant 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.

Norwalk and PURE juicer comparison

While both Mercedes and Chevrolet have 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 gorgeous design with smooth rounded edges it is. countertop eye-candy in any kitchen. Design is built in, not an 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.

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

Cluttered design, posts, screws, sheet metal overlaps and seams.

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

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.

Best of all, the PURE Juicer’s patented twist and lock feed tube makes it very easy to take it apart for cleaning and it effortless clicks 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

The larger 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 press up 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.

stainless steel cutters for juicer

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.

As you can see right away, there is a big difference in size. Not only is the PURE Juicer tray deeper, 7″ vs 6″, but the press chamber that the pulp packs are pressed in is 1/2″ taller as well.

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.

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 shape with no sharp edges. It increases the ‘open area’ of the grid from 61% to 75% reducing clogging and allowing pulp to flow through the grid without overheating.

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

TWO-STAGE JUICER COMPARISON

 


Norwalk Update: November 2021

The Norwalk Juicer Company closed its doors this month after 87 years, they will be sadly missed by the entire juicing community. PURE Juicer will now be the only two-stage juicer available. Created in 2016, PURE Juicer innovated two-stage juicing and the juicing experience through modern technology and customer input.

We did not anticipate Norwalk going out of business. Our community is full of Norwalk and PURE Juicer owners with the same goal of living healthy lives and drinking the best true cold-pressed juice a home juicer can make. Knowing many in our community will need parts and/or services for your Norwalk, we are working on ways to support you.

PURE Juicer makes all its juicing parts from food-grade stainless steel, we redesigned the feed tube for easier use and less kickback. We incorporated an eight-tooth stainless steel cutter and increased the pressing force to 2.5-tons. These changes produce the highest yield and a better juicing experience.

In an effort to carry the legacy of two-stage juicing forward and to support the community who is unsure what to do next, we would like to share what we can do:

  • PURE Juicer cloths, bags, and liners are compatible with all Norwalk Juicers. Link to all items are here:https://purejuicer.com/collections/cloths_and_bags
  • PURE Juicer parts are not compatible with Norwalk Juicers. Please contact our support team if you have any questions at support@purejuicer.com
  • Sign up to receive emails from PURE Juicer. We will update you on connections to service for your existing Norwalk juicer and other ways you can keep juicing with the machine you have. We are in the process of developing resources, where possible, to continue to support you.
  • A reminder that PURE Juicer is Gerson-Approved, just like Norwalk. You are in good hands with PURE Juicer and we are here to continue to serve our community for years to come.

Our commitment is to our community. We welcome your questions and comments. And we hope to see everyone juicing for years to come.

Sincerely,
David Feinberg
CEO & Founder of PURE Juicer

  • After 10 yrs., my Norwalk Press broke. I juice daily on the Gerson Therapy. Is there a trade-in credit? I have been using the Champion Juicer, but need a full juicer w/ press. I have limited internet access. I have a lot of questions about the Pure Juicer & find the changes confusing.

    • We are so sorry to hear this. We do not have a trade-in option, but please check out our outlet juicers. They are extremely good and are well discounted. purejuicer.com and then go to outlet.

  • Hi, to ship to Singapore , what is the shipping fee? Can we use in Singapore without an adaptor? Can it change to use to Singapore voltage? What is the price? Thanks

    • PURE Juicer says:

      Hello! Yes, you can ship to Singapore. You can order the juicer with 230V. The price will show based on your location and duty. The good news is our international shipping is much cheaper than it used to be. Thank you.
