Many contend that the speed of the moving parts of an electric juicer affect the quality of the separated juice. Faster moving parts introduce more air into the juice, and therefore oxidize important nutrients more quickly. It has also been said that the heat generated from the machine and the friction of centrifugal juicers destroy enzymes found only in raw vegetables and fruits (because of the damage done during the cooking or heating process), thereby defeating the purpose of juicing. Juicers with variable speeds are regarded as being of higher quality.
