We are taught from childhood that fruits, vegetables, and berries are a storehouse of vitamins. The benefits of freshly squeezed juice are difficult to overestimate. Many people quench their thirst by making a fresh drink themselves, because juices in tetra packs lose half the nutrients and are expensive.
It is more profitable to purchase an indispensable kitchen assistant that will prepare a delicious drink for the whole family, filled with components valuable for the body. We are talking about the Rossoshanka juicer, a household, universal device.
Among their wide variety, the domestic model 201M stands out. Some are skeptical about technology from the CIS countries, preferring to use foreign technology.
Fact: highly advertised brands focus on design, thereby inflating prices. Most domestic juicers are not inferior to them in functionality.
A large “army” of owners of the Rossoshanka juicer claims that the device is of high quality. In this article we will analyze this juicer model in detail, determine its advantages, properties, capabilities, and identify its disadvantages. And so, let's go!
Design
The juicer is designed for processing hard fruits and vegetables: carrots, apples, beets. If you process soft raw materials, you will get puree.
It is actively used by owners of farmland and apple orchards. The durable body is made of thick-walled white plastic. The base is made of cast iron. It has shock-resistant properties, so it can withstand a fall from a small height. The lower part consists of an electric drive: motor, control circuit.
Above the bottom there is a durable tray for collecting juice. In the center there is a cylindrical shaft. During operation, it comes into contact with ingredients, so it is made of food-grade aluminum.
The 201m design includes a polyethylene mesh with an oblong side. The mesh ensures high-quality spin, and the side prevents the cake from falling out during high-speed work. The device is equipped with a toggle switch.
A toggle switch is a programmed position switch: on, off, engine brake.
There is no automatic discharge of pulp in the juicer, which ensures efficient processing. The centrifuge is stopped manually.

Did you know: freshly squeezed orange juice is the healthiest dietary drink. But for large amounts of sugar, the recommended dose is 0.5 – 0.7 liters per day.
An example of repairing a Sonifer SF-5508 juicer
The Sonifer SF-5508 juicer, purchased a year ago, worked flawlessly for a year, and the next time I squeezed carrot juice, the sieve knife began to catch on the housing lid.
By ear, the level of acoustic noise did not increase, but extraneous sounds appeared; the motor shaft, when rotated by hand by the coupling on which the grater knife is attached, turned easily. But its lateral play was more than 3 mm, which indicated wear on the upper engine bearing. It became obvious that the juicer needed to be disassembled and the bearing replaced.
How to disassemble a juicer
I did not describe the structure and operating principle of the juicer, since everything will become clear when viewing the photographs.
Disassembling a juicer, regardless of manufacturer or type, begins with removing the bottom cover. To do this you need to unscrew several screws.
Some of them were in plain sight, while the rest were hidden under the legs. In order to get to the screws I had to remove the legs.
The screws were located at a great depth, and a Phillips screwdriver with a long shaft was needed. The screwdriver shaft with replacement bits was not included.
After unscrewing the screws, the bottom separated from the juicer body with a little effort and all elements and the electric motor became available for repair.
An external inspection showed that the build quality was at the proper level, all parts were without visible defects, the engine rotor manifold was in good condition, and there was no wear on the lower engine bearing.
A self-resetting thermal fuse was installed on the electric motor with an operating temperature of 105°C, which guaranteed its protection from overheating if the permissible operating time was exceeded.
The electric motor is attached to the juicer body with three screws, but to remove it, you first need to remove the coupling on which the grater-sieve is installed.
The couplings on the electric motor shaft in juicers are threaded or pressed on. How the coupling was secured in this case was unknown and had to be determined experimentally.
All attempts to remove the coupling from the shaft by pressing levers on it were unsuccessful. The assumption was that the coupling was attached to the shaft using a thread. When trying to remove the coupling, it was noticed that the rotor shaft had moved upward relative to the bearings. That is, the coil on the shaft has moved down a little.
Typically, the shafts of electric motors of household electrical appliances, onto which the working tool is screwed, have splines, for example, like in a coffee grinder. By the way, the bearing was also faulty there. But in this case there was no slot. Therefore, I decided to cut it with a mini-drill with an attachment in the form of an emery disk.
But the slot didn't help. When trying to unscrew the coupling, the blade of the screwdriver was pulled out. Remembering that the winding on the shaft was moving, he placed a plywood plate on the coupling and hit it with a hammer several times while hanging. The shaft moved out of the lower bearing a few millimeters, which was enough to clamp it in a vice.
To avoid damaging the surface, a cloth was placed on the coupling and, using a pipe wrench, rotated clockwise
, the coupling was safely unscrewed.
The attachments are always unscrewed from the engine shafts in the direction opposite to their rotation during operation
.
The coupling was removed without any damage to the outside; only marks left on the plastic from the tool when trying to remove it. There was a concern that the plastic would crack or break off the brass bushing.
When repairing the juicer, removing the bushing turned out to be the most difficult task. But it was successfully resolved. The top cover was held together by screws from the bottom and was easily removed.
The upper bearing was badly worn from the inside, the gap was more than 3 mm. It was amazing how the juicer could work with such wear on the bearing. The wife squeezed the juice and did not complain about the operation of the juicer until the sieve-grater began to catch the top lid.
Unlike the bearing, there were no signs of wear on the electric motor shaft. To select the axial clearance, two wear-resistant washers were installed on it, and a spring washer between them.
Specifications
The juicer is small in size, so it does not take up much space in the kitchen and can be transported without difficulty. The Rossoshanka SVPR 201 m juice extractor has a built-in electric motor with a rated power of 220 W.
It is economical because it consumes little energy. At the same time, the productivity of the device is 65 liters per hour. In simple words, the model is capable of processing a whole bucket of apples in 5 minutes.
Despite the fact that the period of continuous operation is 1 hour, it is necessary to turn off the juicer every 6 minutes and remove the pulp. Otherwise, there is a possibility of placing the device in a faulty position.
Sequence of proper cleaning of pulp:
- Set the toggle switch to the “Brake” mode and hold it until the device engine stops completely.
- Remove the lid, carefully remove the plastic mesh and rinse under running warm water.
- Fix all structural elements back and you can continue to use the juicer.
Unlike many analogs, SVPR 201 retains 97% of the vitamins from each ingredient. Using this juicer, you will be sure that you will get a natural drink, without chemicals and GMOs.
Did you know: a mixture of beet, carrot, and apple juice stabilizes the heart, cleanses blood vessels, and increases the functioning of the immune system.
Features of the device
The Rossoshanka juicer is a kitchen unit with a high level of performance. With its help, you can squeeze up to 70 liters of juice per hour, and its purity reaches 92%. It works based on centrifugal force.
“Rossoshanka” is suitable only for hard vegetables and fruits: juice from carrots and beets or apples will turn out excellent. However, soft tomatoes, ripe bananas and pears, currants and cranberries turn into pulp rather than into juice.
Another domestic juicer, Neptune, is more versatile in this regard.
The peculiarity of “Rossoshanka” is that when used, the drink is not contaminated by the acids contained in the seeds, since the seeds are not passed through the juicer during juice production. The loading of vegetables and fruits is free, there is no need to cut them first; they are crushed on a centrifuge sieve thanks to centrifugal forces. Residues and pulp are removed manually.
Pros of the juicer:
- High productivity (produces up to 70 liters of vegetable or fruit juice per hour). That is, it will take no more than 5 minutes to process a bucket of apples.
- There is no need to cut or peel food before loading; apples can be thrown in whole.
- Very pure juice, pulp and various impurities no more than 8%.
- The juicer does not crush vegetables and fruits, but gently plucks them, which avoids grinding the seeds.
- Made of thick, high-quality plastic, it is very reliable in use. The color is pleasant - white. Build quality is acceptable.
- It works quite quietly.
- Removing the pulp is not difficult. Since the cake comes out dry, just unscrew one of the screws, remove the sieve and throw away the excess.
- Low price. The device is available to everyone.
Minuses:
- Although the juicer is declared by the manufacturer to be quiet, it shakes a lot. So it is better to squeeze the juice either on the floor or on the table, but it is better to remove from it all objects that could fall and break.
- Cleaning the unit is not that easy. Not all parts are removed from the motor part (it cannot be wetted), this complicates the washing process.
- The juicer is not universal. To produce juice from berries and soft fruits, you will have to buy another machine.
- The kit does not include table mounts, which makes working with the device difficult.
- The instructions are not very clear, and there are very few detailed videos on use on the Internet.
- With a large volume of work, you often have to remove excess cake.
Advantages and disadvantages
Despite its affordable price, the high-capacity apple juicer has its own unique features.
- Thoughtful design.
- There is no need to pre-cut the apples, since the juicer has a wide neck.
- The presence of impurities in the juice is kept to a minimum.
- The juicer belongs to a number of high-performance devices.”
- The device is not loud during operation. Noise level – nCU Noise level – below average.
- Affordable price.
The juicer also has several disadvantages. For example, it does not have rubber feet. Sometimes this makes the job more difficult because the device produces strong vibrations. Before turning it on, we recommend removing all objects from the table so that they do not fall.
There is no safety mechanism for incorrect assembly. In order not to damage the juicer or get injured, you need to make sure that the structure is assembled correctly.
Did you know: apple juice reduces the craving for smoking. If you are quitting smoking, drink a glass of apple juice and feel the antioxidant effect for yourself.
Apple juicer Rossoshanka
Let’s make a reservation right away: the model is the complete equivalent of the Salut apple juicer. The differences are limited to minor details. With a power of 180 W, the device weighs 10.5 kg and is equipped with a cylindrical centrifuge. The product is too lazy to dump the cake on its own; you will have to stop it periodically to remove the waste.
Whole apples are thrown inside, the demonstration video shows that the seeds remain intact. Provided with a relatively rare grater. The cake is removed along with the internal overhead mesh. Looks semi-dry, dense. At a price of 4,200 rubles, the spin ratio will be higher than Neptune. We see complete similarities with the Salyut apple juicer.
The manufacturer indicates a productivity of 70 kilograms per hour; to be honest, I am tormented by doubts whether the parameter is confused with the processing speed. The difference is fundamental. Productivity is measured in liters of finished juice per unit of time, processing speed is measured in kilograms of apples. The confusion is complete, I can’t believe that the Rossoshanka apple juicer will produce 70 liters (the specific gravity was discarded) of the finished drink.
The website of the well-known expert Vladimir says: we are still talking about kilograms of apples. We are inclined to trust this person because he closely communicates with the equipment, refines it, and sells it. Please note: the Rossoshanka apple juicer operates continuously for no more than 10 minutes, then take the trouble to remove the pulp, giving the equipment a rest. We need to get puree, remove the inner mesh, you can’t throw whole apples inside. An irreparable drawback, it is better to try using a Neptune juicer (similar price), which makes excellent puree from soft varieties. The named model will provide much greater productivity, showing a lower spin ratio.
Please note: during operation, the powerful Rossoshanka juicer for whole apples vibrates strongly, exacerbating the side effect as a large amount of pulp accumulates inside, concentrating around the perimeter of the centrifuge. Give up trying to pre-fill the belly of the device with apples before turning on the device. The imbalance will play a cruel joke on the experimenter. Vladimir recommends fixing the product to the floor with screws, avoiding shaking. Be careful not to squeeze more than a bucket of apples at once (continuously).
Safety requirements
Man has not yet created a perpetual motion machine; every machine can become faulty, and juicers are no exception. But if you follow the typical rules, you can not only extend the life of the device, but also avoid injury.
The instructions say that you cannot immerse vegetables and fruits in the loading container before starting the engine. You need to push food through with a special pushing stick, but never with your fingers.
You only need to disassemble and reassemble the juicer when the plug is disconnected from the outlet. Before using the device, make sure it is assembled correctly. It is strictly forbidden to turn on the juicer if the lid is not secured.
Rossoshanka 201M should be stored in a ventilated area, with a temperature from +5 to + 35 degrees.
Fact: You cannot completely immerse the juicer in water, since the electrical circuit of the juicer will be damaged.
Juicer care
After completing the work, you need to turn off the device and unplug the cord from the outlet. It is necessary to clean the structure from cake and clogging, so we proceed to disassembling the structure.
All removed elements must be washed with water and wiped thoroughly with a dry towel.
The electrical circuit is the most vulnerable part of the juicer, so moisture should not be allowed to get there. To prevent plastic parts from becoming deformed, they are washed with slightly warm water.
The centrifuge must also be handled with special care. If it becomes bent as a result of an accidental fall, the operation of the device will not be stable.
Some fruits emit coloring substances. They can settle on the interior plastic parts of the juicer. This coating does not in any way affect the quality of future drinks. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove it from the walls.
Interesting fact: there are more than 5 thousand varieties of apples in the world. However, only 100 are acceptable for consumption. The rest perform decorative functions.
We prepare vegetables and fruits for processing
It is difficult to describe all the positive effects of vitamins contained in fruits and vegetables on the human body. Apples are saturated not only with vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, E, P, PP, K, but also with minerals and organic acids.
“The Tsar Maiden ate an apple and became younger.” An excerpt from the fairy tale about the Daring Young Man.
Our great-grandfathers knew that apples contain healing powers, thanks to which the skin acquires a light shade and the body becomes strong. Numerous modern studies have proven the broader properties of this fruit when taken regularly:
- The immune system is strengthened and protected from harmful environmental influences and viruses.
- Insomnia disappears, the level of serotonin (the hormone of happiness) stabilizes.
- Problems with skin and hair disappear: the skin becomes light and the hair becomes velvety.
- The functioning of the gastric tract and cardiovascular system improves.
In addition to this, the juice is very tasty, so it occupies a leading position among favorite drinks.
But to get a quality drink, it is necessary to select ripe fruits. They should not have wormholes or rot. Before processing apples, you need to wash them 3-4 times with boiled water.
The size of the fruit must fit freely into the loading container. Large fruits need to be cut. You don’t have to remove the seeds and seeds, because the juicer will grind them. Nutritionists recommend drinking freshly squeezed juices in small sips. Thus, they are better absorbed in the body.
Tip: experiment in preparation: for example, you can combine ingredients, pour the resulting juice into 1 glass and enjoy your signature drink!
Review of the Rossoshanka juicer
