Nowadays, it is quite common for people to keep a track of what they are consuming as a way of staying healthy. Most individuals try to include pressed juices into their diet to make it more balanced and nutritious. Although pressed juices can easily be bought from a grocery store or supermarket, some users (including ourselves) prefer to press their juices by using an electric juicer.

Similarities
Let’s see how the Dragon Touch K10 vs the Max10 are similar.
Speed and Pressure Settings
With a speed of 80 RPM (around 2 HP), the speed of these 2 juicers is relatively slow as compared to other devices we have used, but not to worry! These devices have been designed to have a low speed to prevent extra unnecessary frothing. The low-speed juicer ensures that the juice extracted does not heat up. This prevents the juice from oxidizing, and we ended up making entire batches and stored them for up to 72 hours. The low-speed setting also made sure that nutrients or enzymes aren’t lost during the juicing process. Both of these devices also have 5 adjustable pressure settings.
Pulp Ejection and Wattage
The juicing process in both of these devices is almost the same, and quite user-friendly as well. All you have to do is to push the chopped up fruit down the chute. The dual juicing process crushes the fruit once and then passes the pulp through a juicing screen, which is automatically ejected for a smooth and continuous juicing process without any pauses.
The wattage for both of these juicers is 150 W, which makes these juicers have a strong processing power, and be more durable. 150 W is the standard for most juicers that are available in the market.
Noise Level
Quiet operation is carried out by both of these juicers, unlike many other devices that may be slightly noisy. I prefer quiet devices as compared to noisy ones as they are less annoying and less of a headache to use and operate.
