What are the exact differences between the home and commercial versions of the Champion Juicer?
The basic difference is as follows: The Household model has a hardened steel motor shaft. The commercial unit has a stainless steel motor shaft (not prone to rusting) and has a heavy duty motor and is dual voltage (can operate on 220 volts) I generally suggest the commercial unit for commercial uses, or if you have a large family or will be using the juicer often, and for long periods of time. The household unit is quite sufficient for normal household uses, although if you want the best and most durable, go with the commercial. Can I use the Champion to grind nuts with the blank plate in? I would like to mill dry grains for flour to be used in pancakes, waffles, muffins and any good recipes I can get my hands on. May be even breads. Although I’m leaning much more to sprouted breads. I would also like to mush up raw foods to be eaten. Like carrots, turnips, daikon, and others. What about soaked grains? Yes, you can put nuts through the champion to make nut butters with the blank plate
