View DetailsFrequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q1. Does the taste actually differ between an 850W and a 300W juicer?
- Yes. High-power motors break down ingredients quickly, which reduces oxidation and preserves nutrients. Also, fibers are completely broken down, resulting in a smoother texture.
- Q2. Is the PC-2105 noisy?
- As an 850W high-power unit, it generates sound during use, but it's at a standard level compared to other products in its class. Since the usage time is short (20-30 seconds), it's less likely to disturb family members even when used in the morning.
- Q3. Are the motor outputs of the PC-2105 and PC-2110 the same?
- Yes, both models have an 850W motor. The main difference lies in the number and type of accompanying bottles; the PC-2110 also comes with a bottle for grinding functions and can grind coffee beans.
