11 of the best juicers for your home, according to online reviews

The gist: The Omega is the creme-de-la-creme of masticating (slow-speed) juicers. Since it processes at a slower speed, you won’t miss out on any nutrients. You can juice anything from fruits and vegetables to leafy greens— but it doesn’t stop there. 
The Omega will also turn nuts into nut butter (homemade peanut butter anyone?), grind coffee beans, make pasta, frozen desserts, baby food… to be honest, we’re not sure there’s much it can’t do. Additionally, its slow speed method makes for a super quiet juicing experience.  
Stand-out features:

• Powerful gear reduction that’s equivalent to a 2HP Motor
• Minimum heat build-up prevents oxidation and promotes healthy enzymes 
• Extracts the maximum amount of nutrients

“… I have been juicing just about every morning for the past 3.5 weeks, and I have noticed a difference when using this juicer. While this juicer takes longer than the centrifugal force competitor, the pulp comes out very, very dry, and there are no chunks left un-juiced! It is also very easy to install, put together, and clean, takes less than a few minutes. I really like the suction cup feet on the bottom of this machine, it keeps it still while I am juicing, so I do not lose any juice. Also, I love the handle at the top of the machine, it is lightweight and easy to pick up and maneuver. I love that this is more than just a juicer – you can make nut butter, pasta, and frozen sorbet, and so much more. So far, I have made a lot of frozen treats, all I do is put anything frozen in the tube, change out the juicing screen to the blank screen, an ta-da! Frozen sorbet, at the ready, the first time I tried it I made 3 different sorbets, frozen coconut milk, frozen strawberries, banana, and peach. Then I put in mixed berries too! It is so easy and fast, and tastes delicious, very similar to some of the water ice we get up the street – but so much healthier! Overall, I am very, very satisfied with this juicer!”

*Bonus Review:* To get a *thorough* idea of how to use and what to make with the Omega J8006, check out this review by Amazon user Phil Rosenbach (which is also possibly the longest and most detailed review we’ve ever seen. Hats off to you, Phil.)

The gist: Surprise, surprise: another Breville made the list. Though it comes with a heftier price tag than the JE98XL, the 800JEXL is called “elite” for a reason. Breville endearingly refers to this model as the “Rolls Royce” of juicers, with its powerful 1000-watt motor and heavy grade die-cast metal body. At least you know you’re getting your money’s worth — that durability is sure to last you for years.
Like the JE98XL, it has a dual high/low-speed switch so you can switch depending on if you’re juicing hard or soft produce. This model’s “fast” speed setting beats the JE98XL at a lightning-fast 13,000 RPM, shaving time off the process. It’s not the smallest or lightest juicer to store, but it’s an investment that you’ll want to show off on your countertop.
Stand-out features:

• 1000-watt motor
• Dual speeds: high (13,000rpm) and low (6,500rpm)
• 3-inch feed tube
• 1.1-quart juice jug and 3.2-quart pulp container
• Die-cast metal body will last years

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I have had A LOT of juicers over the years and this one blows them all away! it is super fast and pulp is super dry. you get way more than twice the juice! I juiced a lot of veg, 2 pitchers (that it comes with about 4 cups each) and the pulp container was not even half full, yet there was no pulp in the juice! I’ve even had the slow masticating juicers, this is better. easy to put together, take apart and clean!!!!! i love it in every way. and before you believe that juice from slow juicers is better for you, look it up, thats what i did, and its not as long as its done fast with a good juicer! I truly love this juicer in every way! I will never go back to the lower end ones (that cost about the same anyway, oh brother!) or the expensive slow hard to use and clean ones! Wish i had this in the beginning of my juicing ventures 20 years ago!!!!!!!!!!!”

The gist: When it comes to quality juicing, Breville shines as a trusty manufacturer, which is why it’s no surprise the JE98XL model is Amazon’s Choice for “best juicer.” For a price significantly less than some other Breville models, the JE98XL delivers the same top-notch performance. 
Its extra-wide feeder chute allows you to pump out a full 8oz. glass of juice fast. We’re talking less-than-five-seconds fast. And with little to no preparation! Breville also claims that its patented Nutri Disc system extracts more nutrients than any other juicers, since it transfers minimum heat, protecting enzymes and allowing for maximum nutrient absorption. 
Stand-out features:

• Extra-wide 3-inch feeder chute
• 850-watt dual-speed motor
• Patented NutriDisc juicing system to get maximum nutrients
• 1-Liter juice jug with froth separator 
• Overload protection LED
• Safety locking arm

“I absolutely love this juicer, it is so fast to juice and simple clean up too. I line the pulp container with a plastic produce bag and put my glass directly under the spout so I have two less parts to clean. Using this system, I only have three parts to clean, all are easy to clean and dry. I have very little time in the morning, I can barely make it to work on time, but since clean up is so quick, I have made a juice every morning since I received this juicer. I was impressed at the speed of this juicer and with very little noise. (I get a lot of juice too!) I also like that this juicer does not take up a lot of counter space, it’s fairly compact compared to others I have researched. AND the price is extremely reasonable! A friend of mine came over while I was juicing and she was so impressed with this model that she asked me for the ordering information! In the past, she has had 3 different juicers and she said none of them compared to this one! Honestly, I can’t think of anything about this juicer that I would change…maybe it would be helpful if they included a juicing recipe book! Thank you Amazon for the quality product and the fast shipping!”

The gist: The whole “DIY healthy eating thing” is a great, but all of the appliances required sure make for a lot of clutter. We love a good 2-in-1 machine, and the Tribest Slowstar Vertical Slow Juicer can get you cold-pressed juice plus sorbets, salsas, and so much more with a handy mixer attachment.
Premium, all-encompassing juicers usually require you to do some prep work. Leafy greens like spinach and highly-fibrous pieces like carrots and ginger root are totally a go, but chopping them into smaller pieces before inserting them could save you some time (same with whole fruits). One reviewer suggests to go back and forth between wet and dry ingredients to keep the auger lubricated. Needless to say, this ain’t the juicer for newbies.
Standout features:

• Ultra-slow 47 RPM
• Single masticating auger
• Mincer/homogenizer attachment extends possibilities to salsa, frozen sorbets, nut butters, and more
• Yields more than many centrifugal juicers

Amazon customer Helen Yigit writes:

“This juicer is a monster ! It is very powerful and produces the most juice compared to the other models in its class.
It has a dual blade auger that just crushes large carrots, beats, and it also juices leafy greens like spinach and kale with ease. It has never once jammed or stopped like my friends juicers will sometimes do. It also has a larger feeder tube than most other models. It comes with an additional attachment to make fresh fruit sorbets and almond and other nut butters. It is a great product, I am very happy with it.”

The gist: According to Google’s shopping insights (which tells you the brands customers love most), Hurom is one of the top five brands — giving big players like Omega and Breville a serious run for their money. The HP Slow Juicer is a sturdy contender, made of impact-resistant, BPA-free materials to churn out your concoctions without worrying about it falling apart. Beauty and brawn, baby.
Slow and steady is a legit thing when it comes to cold-press juicers, and the 43 RPM of this juicer will help get the most out of your fruits and veggies. An auger squeezes out juice rather than shredding with high-speed blades. This natural motion minimizes damage to ingredients, keeping natural taste and nutrition intact.
The retro style is clearly the main selling point, so no one will blame you if you want to leave this sitting on your counter as decor. Luckily, it’s quite compact and can be stored easily. If it is sitting out, you’ll appreciate safety features like sensors that only allow it to operate if the chamber is 100% assembled. There’s also a built-in cooling system with vents to prevent overheating, and the chute is designed to keep out small fingers.
Standout features

• Amazingly slow 43 PM
• Ejects pulp while it goes
• Can yield milks, sorbets, and even tofu
• Safety features to prevent overheating and small fingers in chute

Amazon customer Nichole B. writes:

“Perfect if you are looking for a quality juicer that is simple to clean and have limited counter space. I live in an LA apartment and use this 5 days a week mostly for celery and carrot juice and it works great! Easy to clean compared to most juicers and it comes with the necessary cleaning tools. Be sure to cut everything into small chunks to avoid clogging but if it does stop there is a reverse switch that fixes the problem quickly and efficiently. Clean immerdiately after use to make your life easier! I air dry on a mat on my counter. I love this and have recommended it to friends who are tired of pay $7+ a day for juices in LA. I only juice for myself and sometimes my husband so if you want to juice for more than that, I recommend getting the larger Hurom so you can feed in whole veg as opposed to chopping because that takes a little more effort. But seriously still worth it and was 2 more minutes of chopping? If you can afford to get this one, do it!”

The gist: We know, we know—another Breville model. What can we say? We can’t argue with quality, and we certainly don’t think quality should be an issue for those with less counter-space—which is why we give you the Breville BJE200XL Compact Juicer. 
The Breville Compact takes up far less space than other Breville models while still boasting the same juicing capabilities. It has a 700-watt motor and operates at a single speed of 14,000rpm. It has the same extra-wide 3-inch feed chute as the other Breville models, so don’t let its small size fool you—this thing can still take down whole fruits. 
Stand-out features:

• 700-watt motor
• 3-inch circular feed tube can process whole fruit
• Centered dual knife blade assembly with stabilizing knife

Amazon user Pat K writes:

“I kept putting this item in my cart deciding between this one and the next higher version. My friend had the next size but she also has a very large kitchen and plenty of counter space, while me I have 1/4 of the counter space. After about a month in my basket I decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did buy this compact version, it’s perfect for me. I make one container full and clean out the where the pulp is stored. It also stores nicely under my cabinet, which the other version would not. Since this is my first juicer, I’m not sure how ‘dry’ the pulp should be but to me it’s pretty dry. Not something that is bone dry but enough that I can probably make a small ball out of the pulp…mind you I haven’t tried it but may. I also juiced Kale and Swiss Chard I saw quite a bit of juice coming out. I did with the recommendation of rolling it up in a small tight ball and it worked. Not sure if it was because the kale and Swiss chard were straight from the garden to the juicer but I definitely did see juice coming out.”

The gist: Buying a juicer doesn’t have to be a black and white thing — meaning beginners shouldn’t get stuck with tiny citrus juicers and seasoned vets shouldn’t get stuck with $400 premium models. This Hamilton Beach model sits on nearly every “best juicers” list on the internet due to the fact that it’s an easy in-and-out job. No prep, quick, effective juicing, and next to no cleanup. What’s not to love?
It cranks out 850 watts of power and has a 3-inch-wide chute that you can fit whole foods into (for example, a whole apple). Stubborn veggies like celery or carrots may need to be chopped for an easier process, but that happens with even the most expensive machines. If you feel your counter vibrating, just know that even though it’s annoying, it doesn’t mean your juicer is about to explode.
All of the juicer’s removable parts are dishwasher safe, which makes clean-up super easy — though it doesn’t make much of a mess to begin with.
Stand-out features:

• 800-watt motor
• Makes 24% more juice than competitors, apparently
• Extra-wide 3-inch chute 
• Dishwasher safe and comes with patented Easy Sweep Cleaning Tool

Amazon user Cynthia Maples Davis writes: 

“I am in love with this juicer. I’m so glad my old juicer died. 1. it’s so easy to clean. The little scrub brush for the blade is awesome. 2. It’s so easy to take apart and put back together. 3. The shoot is really large. You can put a whole bunch of parsley, celery, whole apples, etc down it. I rarely have to cut anything to fit. 4. The little pitcher that comes with it is awesome. It has a lid that separates any foam that comes through. it holds 40 oz of juice. No more having to dump and keep juicing. 5. The little pour spout, that the juice comes down, can be flipped up so the last few drops don’t fall on the counter top. 6. It’s nice having 2 speeds. I use the lower speed for greens. The machine does have a lot of power, so I keep it on a towel so it doesn’t vibrate away.”

The gist: Squeezing leafy greens takes a special amount of care. The Lexen GP27 is the way to *manually* do just that. This juicer is the solution for those that don’t want to lay out hundreds for an expensive masticating juicer, but also don’t want to settle for a cheap, crummy manual model. 
As the folks at The Healthy Juicer say, this thing was designed to be “simple, mobile, versatile, and easy to clean.” Simple is right. To use, just put a juice cup under the spout, place your greens into the chute, and start churning. 
Cleaning this thing is a breeze, since all you have to do is unscrew the parts, rinse them off in the sink, and boom—you’re done. Thanks to its high juice-yield and cold-press technology, you can rest assured your greens will be nutrient-packed to the max. 
Stand-out features:

• Manual hand-crank method allows you to have a say in texture
• Maximum nutrients and enzyme preservation via cold-press processing
• Sturdy, quality manufacturing

Amazon user Sherry writes:

“Love it, love it, love it. Why’d I wait so long??? I love everything about this juicer (except maybe the extra time it takes to make all that juice from the leafy greens, but you know what, it’s time well spent because it’s SO relaxing watching healthy juice being created as you spin the lever). I’m ditching my centrifugal juicer forever. I set up the base of this unit on my counter permanently which means about a 1 minute set up time (and probably 2-3 minutes to take apart and rinse off). Unlike the bigger, heavier juicers, these smaller pieces are so easy to wash and manage and store, light and small it all fits in a drawer and doesn’t take up half of my cabinet space. And it juices most everything. I make citrus juice, cucumber/celerey juice, etc. I get about 1 cup of spinach juice from those 1lb. containers, than I freeze the spinach fiber in tablespoon sizes and throw in my smoothies (especially good with bananas) or in my soups/stocks/eggs. As for the turning of the lever, you will turn it for a while, more than you’d like to in this fast paced society, but it is effortless and like I said, fun to watch the juice produce through the clear plastic cylinder. Time passes quickly. I imagine too that the more I do this the quicker I’ll become. It also pieces together with such ease and safety (so great for kids!!!)…”

The gist: If you immediately think “Jamba Juice” when you see this juicer, good call. It’s the brainchild of the widely-known juice chain, and provides the authentic experience of hand-pressing citrus fruits — can lemonade stands make a comeback now? Since Jamba Juice knows a thing or two about juicing, they made sure to give this baby a sleek and easy-to-use design and a heavy-duty metal construction. Although this juicer is manual, it does the heavy lifting for you.
This basically eliminates the need for electricity. It comes with an impressive and ergonomic handle, so you can press even the toughest fruits like pomegranates to maximize juice output, while it can also separate seeds and pulp from the delicious juice. The Jamba Juicer comes with a few little extra goodies, like a recipe book filled with juice and pulp recipes and a five-year warranty. 
Stand-out features:

• Easy-grip handle
• Removable parts for cleaning
• A modern and clean design
• Comes with full-color recipe book with juice and pulp recipes

What Amazon users have to say: Amazon user CLM1966 writes:

“My husband and I drink a lot of homemade lemonade made with lemons, water, and stevia. I used to spend 15 minutes hand juicing 8 lemons and I thought I was going to twist my arm off. With Jamba, my juice is finished in less than 5 minutes with very little effort. I discovered if I try to press too hard my juice tastes a little bitter because I was actually juicing the rind. So now I let the weight of the machine do most of the work and each lemon seems to be juiced completely. Clean up is very fast, only 4 parts. I love my new Jamba juicer!”

The gist: Mini citrus juicers (the ones that look more like food processors) are cute and all, but having to push the fruit in takes too much effort for anything past a casual weekend lemonade. The Cuisinart Pulp Control Citrus Juicer is a happy medium between machines for beginners and $400 ones, and it’s one of Amazon’s best-selling citrus juicers.
This is called a “citrus juicer” for a reason, guys. Shoving kale or apples in here is just going to get you a clogged machine and chunky results. You’ve been warned.
However, for small batches, the electric reamer really does a number on oranges, grapefruits, and more. Switching to the spin or centrifugal cycle does a decent job of pulling juice from the pulp, but seeds seem to sneak through and it’s not great with peels. If you do it right, 400 mL of juice is yours in just a few minutes.
Standout features:

• Auto-reversing universal juicer cone
• Adjustable reamer with three pulp control settings
• Final spin feature is activated by the lid and does one last squeeze on the remaining pulp
• Snap-out spout to prevent dripping

Amazon customer Jacob writes:

“This citrus juicer has already paid for itself. We have used it quite a bit since we bought it, and if you do the math on how much you save on fresh squeezed orange juice, this juicer is a no-brainer. We like to buy fresh squeezed orange juice when we have orange juice around the house, but it can be expensive. The amount of money we have saved on OJ has paid for this juicer already. It juices lemons and limes very well, too. The pulp control feature is useful, but it does not completely strain all of the pulp from the product. I love pulp, so for me that is not an issue. This machine requires moderate amounts of pressure to use it, so it may not be suitable for those who have arthritis in their hands.”

The gist: Small, quick, and no extra parts needed. This no-frills juicer is perfect for beginners and people who don’t want more than a basic fruity concoction.
To use, just push your citrus fruit of choice onto the cone and let it get to work. The self-reversing cone ensures that you’ll get the absolute most juice out of your fruits by switching directions mid-juice. The 32-ounce pitcher comes with convenient measurement marks and will make up to a quarter-gallon of the good stuff. 
You can even adjust the amount of pulp you let into your juice using the Adjustable Pulp Control. The container doubles as a pitcher, so your contents can go straight into a glass.
Stand-out features:

• Easy-pour spout
• Adjustable pulp control 
• Pressure activated

“This is an easy to use, easy to clean citrus juicer that I wish I had bought 25 years ago! It is versatile (will juice small fruit like limes or large fruit such as Meyer lemons and even relatively small grapefruit. There is an adjustment allowing a little or a large amount of pulp to go through with the juice. It is well made and requires only a small space for storage. I will be buying oranges by the bag to have fresh juice. Probably my favorite small appliance.”
