Breville cold fountain juicer
The Best Juicer (2022), Tested and Reviewed
We focused our testing on three of the most common juicer concerns: high juice/low foam yield, ease of use, and ease of cleanup. To compare like with like, we narrowed our product selects to all vertical juicers rather than horizontal ones, as the latter category tends to be cheaper but much larger and produces a slightly lower yield. Height, weight, size, and number of pieces to assemble and disassemble also played a role in the evaluation.
When we got down to juicing, we used the same amount of produce for each machine: half of an unpeeled cucumber, two carrots, half an unpeeled apple, one stalk of celery, three large leaves of kale (with the stem), one hunk of ginger (with the skin), 10 grapes, 10 blueberries, and half a lemon (with the rind). One at a time, we fed each item through the chute. We noted how the pulp came out, then measured the juice and foam. Then we disassembled and cleaned each product by hand, keeping track of how much scrubbing was necessary to remove juice residue and pulp.
What we looked for
For each juicer, we also considered the following questions:
Is it intuitive to assemble and use? Does it have any notable attachments or design features?
Most juicers have similar parts: a pulp container, a juice jug, a basket, a blade or auger, a base, a feeder chute, and a food pusher. We made note of extras like brushes and alternate baskets, plus smart knobs, buttons, and speeds.
Does it feel well built? Does the construction and ease of use justify the price?
Juicers need to turn your food into smooth, drinkable liquid, so the heft and substance of the machines need to be up to the task. For all the scrubbing and fibrous material involved, it’s important that all the parts are going to withstand the work.
How much space does it take up? What’s the visual appeal?
If you’re going to be using your juicer regularly, it’s going to take up valuable countertop real estate. But how much? And if aren’t going to keep it out, is it easy to store?
Other juicers we tested
Hurom h300 Easy Clean Slow Juicer
The Hurom h300 Easy Clean Slow Juicer assembled in minutes and had a large hopper capable of fitting whole fruits (and a lot of other ingredients).
It also worked quietly and produced very little pulp, meaning more actual juice. But while cleanup was a breeze, the machine had trouble processing fibrous ingredients like kale and ginger, and didn’t successfully juice a half lemon in our testing.
Hurom h410 Easy Clean Slow Juicer
The Hurom h410 Easy Clean Slow Juicer is one of the company’s newer models and works well while taking up very little counter space. It produces juice with almost no foam, and its six pieces come apart and clean up easily. The design flaw of this juicer is in its hopper, which must be opened in order to add ingredients during juicing. Opening the hopper stops the internal mechanism mid-mastication, which, when restarted, can jam. The h410 had trouble with some of the more fibrous ingredients like kale, but if you’re willing to put in the extra prep time to break down some of the ingredients into smaller, more manageable pieces, it will work well as a personal juicer.
Nutribullet Slow Juicer
The Nutribullet Slow Juicer ($189) is surprisingly powerful, conquering everything from leafy greens to an entire half lemon, which gave other, more expensive slow juicers trouble.
It also works noticeably faster than other juicers in its category, but that speed and power also brought more noise, as well. It produced juice with quite a bit of foam (likely also related to it’s speed), and although it didn’t expel much pulp, there was quite a bit of partially masticated fruit pulp inside when we opened it up to begin cleaning. Disassembly was challenging and required quite a bit of yanking.
Breville Juice Fountain Cold
The Breville Juice Fountain Cold is slightly bigger and more expensive than our winning model. It was easy to assemble and featured a big mouth chute, so we didn’t have to do any advance prep to our produce before juicing. But we found it slightly harder to clean than the other Breville models, with many ginger fibers stuck in the metal mesh basket, plus it was the loudest of any machine we tried.
Breville Juice Fountain Compact
The Breville Juice Fountain Compact was not as impressive as we’d hoped—the design eliminates the pulp cup, making the lid the receptacle for all the pulp.
This made it more tedious to clean and didn’t actually save meaningful counter space (the machine is still bulky; the detachable pulp cup is the only component that makes it slightly smaller than the Juice Fountain Plus).
Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer Elite
The Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer Elite is a very good juicer, but also a very expensive one. It’s heavy but has a slim profile and assembles quickly with the help of a “red dot locking system.” Plus, there are a few extra parts, like a blank strainer for making ice cream and frozen fruit sorbet, a hopper attachment for catching smaller items, and several cleaning tools. The extra-wide feeder chute was a bonus, but the pulp spout was more difficult to wash than other slow juicers. In the end, the Kuvings is a fantastic tool, but at the price point, it couldn’t be our winner.
Cuisinart Juice Extractor
The Cuisinart Juice Extractor is a centrifugal model with five speed settings, nicely locking parts, and a large juice jug with a handle, lid, and spout.
We liked that it felt powerful, but manageable and not like it was whirring so fast it might flight itself off the counter (a concern with a few other models). But the motor was so jumpy that smaller and lighter pieces of produce, like grapes and blueberries, bounced up and out of the chute when added. It’s a great machine, but the Breville is better—and slightly less expensive.
Hurom Easy Clean Juicer
The Hurom Easy Clean Juicer also came with a few additional pieces to justify the high price point, like an ice cream strainer and a smoothie strainer. But despite its name, we did not find it very easy to clean. In fact, the many crevices and crannies where pulp got stuck made washing this model feel like a real chore. Plus, the chute mouth is quite small, requiring a lot of prep work before you can begin to feed your produce into the machine. Hurom’s newer easy clean models are big improvements.
Hurom H-AA Slow Juicer
The Hurom H-AA Slow Juicer came with some impressive add-ons like an ice cream strainer and tofu press set, but the chute was too small to fit produce that wasn’t cut into tiny pieces and the foam yield was quite high.
Smeg Slow Juicer
The Smeg Slow Juicer looks good, as all this brand’s products tend to, but the machine also had a very tiny feeder chute. We had to cut an apple into slivers to get it to fit. It also didn’t feel as sturdy as the other juicers in this category, which is a hard sell with its high price.
Omega Vertical Slow Masticating Juicer
The Omega Vertical Slow Masticating Juicer was the only appliance that stopped working mid-testing due to produce backup. It was difficult to clean and not as intuitive to use as we would have wished—especially for the price.
Tribest Slowstar Juicer
The Tribest Slowstar Juicer gave an average performance. It was a little messy, with green and orange juice spattering onto the counter, and had a small chute that required a lot of effort on our part to fit kale and carrots.
AICook Juice Extractor
The AICook Juice Extractor arrived basically fully assembled, which made it easy to use right out of the box.
But the instructions mention that it isn’t suitable for produce with cores, hard seeds, hard skins, or lots of fibers, which felt like a lot to give up. It’s quite inexpensive, but you pay for it when it comes time to clean; after noisy juicing, we spent a long time trying to get pieces of pulp unstuck from various crevices, with middling success.
Mueller Austria Ultra Juicer
The Mueller Austria Ultra Juicer came very highly rated, so we had big expectations for the low-price centrifugal machine. We liked the large-handle juice jug and the auto shutoff feature if it gets jammed or too hot. The included brush was also perfectly designed for cleaning the machine, making it a breeze. But it felt cheaply made, with peeling plastic in parts, and was one of the loudest juicers we tested.
The takeaway
If you’re a green juice enthusiast who goes out to buy 16-ounce servings regularly or orders caseloads to your house, investing in a juicer—the best juicer—is an excellent idea.
For lots of juice fast, go with a centrifugal model like the Breville Juice Fountain Plus; it can power through a pile of produce in seconds. If you want a traditional slow juicer with controlled cold-press technology, spend a little bit more for the Cusinart Easy Clean Slow Juicer. As its name suggests, it cleans like a dream and, for significantly less money than other models in this category, yields superlative juice.

Breville the Juice Fountain Cold review
TechRadar Verdict
This centrifugal juicer from Breville is a great option for big families, it comes with a large jug and large pulp container allowing you to make plenty of juice without stopping to empty anything.
It makes really smooth pulp free juice, although the centrifugal action does mean you’ll get froth on top of the juice. Avoid it if you’re looking to make your daily kale shot at home because it doesn’t juice leafy greens well.

One-minute review
Breville is known for high-end, well-designed appliances and makes some of the best blenders and best Instant Pot alternatives on the market. It’s also hoping to make the list of the best juicers too, with its ‘Cold Spin Technology’ which Breville claims will ensure the juicer stays cool, despite its high spin speed to avoid any heat damage to vitamins and minerals during the juicing process.
The Breville the Juice Fountain Cold is one of the more affordable juicers from Breville, but it still offers ‘Cold Spin Technology. It’s a centrifugal juicer, and uses a blade that spins at high speed to extract juice from fruit and vegetables. The main difference between this model and Breville’s more expensive juicers is the power; the Juice Fountain Cold is 850W in the US or 1250W in the UK and Australia, whereas Breville’s more premium juicers have higher power motors, which spin faster, extracting more juice.

The Breville the Juice Fountain Cold makes very clear juice with no pulp and the large capacity jug and pulp container are perfect for people who want enough juice for two to three days or for a large family. If you’re looking for a juicer that’ll make kale shots and similar juices from leafy greens, then avoid this model as it doesn't extract much juice from kale.
Instead, opt for a cold press juicer, which is also known as a slow juicer or masticating juicer. This is also a bulky machine so best avoided if you’re short on space.

- List price: $179.95/ £179.95/ AU$349
The Breville the Juice Fountain Cold, which is also known as Sage the Nutri Juicer Cold in the UK, is priced at $179.95/ £179.95/ AU$349. It’s available through the Breville website in the US and Australia, in the UK it’s available through the Sage Appliances website.
In the US and Australia, it sits in the middle of Breville’s juicer range, but in the UK, it’s the most affordable juicer Sage offers. However, the juice extraction technology is similar to the more expensive models on offer, so for the price, it’s a good option.
(Image credit: TechRadar)- Large 70oz/ 2L lidded jug
- Two speed settings
- Wide 3in/ 8.4cm feed chute
This is a centrifugal juicer that works by chopping the fruit and vegetables with rotating blades and then spinning the chopped fruit and vegetables at a high speed through a mesh filter to extract the juice.
It’s a common juicing method and much quicker than a cold press juicer.
While the main motor unit isn’t particularly large, once fully assembled with the juicing jug and pulp container in place, the Breville the Juice Fountain Cold is a large appliance that takes up a lot of space on the countertop. The fully assembled juicer measures 17 x 17 x 9 inches/ 43 x 43 x 23 cm (h x w x d). It’s easy to disassemble for storage but will still take up a lot of cupboard space. On a positive note, the large size means a large capacity, the 70oz/ 2L lidded jug and 3.6 qt/ 3.4L pulp container allows you to juice a lot of fruit and vegetables in one go. The lidded jug can be used to store juice in the fridge for up to three days, which means you don’t have to get the juicer out every day.
There are just two speed settings to choose from, high or low depending on the type of fruit you’re juicing. A speed selector guide in the manual gives advice on what speed setting to use. The wide feed chute allows whole fruits like apples to be placed into the juicer without the need to chop up first and the juice dispenses directly into the lidded jug, so there’s no splashing.
It’s not too fiddly to assemble and most parts apart from the juice cover and food pusher are dishwasher safe, which makes cleaning simpler and it also comes with a cleaning brush for easy cleaning of the filter mesh.
(Image credit: TechRadar)Performance
- Clear smooth juice
- Most juices have foam on top
- Poor results juicing kale
All the component parts slot together easily and it’s intuitive to put together – we didn’t really need to consult the instruction manual for assembly and the two speed settings are really simple to use. We tried carrot juice first, chopping the tops off the carrots, but otherwise putting them in whole, unpeeled. From 7.8oz/ 222g carrots, it produced 4.2oz/ 119g juice which is a juice yield of almost 54% and a good yield for carrot juice. The juice itself was very clear and smooth with very little foam.
As with most juicers, oranges have to be peeled before juicing and it achieved a juice yield of 59%, which is lower than we’ve seen from other centrifugal juicers such as the Nutribullet Juicer.
However, the juice had no traces of pulp at all and had a very smooth texture. There was almost ¾ inch of foam on the top of the juice, but if you pour it from the jug with the lid in place, the foam separator helps to keep the foam in the jug and out of your glass.
Results from juicing kale were disappointing, air flows up the feed chute and blows the chopped kale pieces back out as you try to feed them in, but once we had managed to get all of our kale in, we only got a 14% yield and there were visible pieces of unprocessed kale in the pulp container, so it’s quite a wasteful process and in this case, we’d recommend looking for a cold press juicer.
We tried a mixed green juice containing some tricky ingredients including celery, parsley, ginger, broccoli, apple and pear. It coped well with these ingredients, producing a clear smooth juice with a yield of 68%, again there was some foam on top, but otherwise the juice was very smooth. At 86dB this was the loudest of all the juices we made.
It took just 13 seconds to juice a whole apple which is very speedy, add to that the fact that you don’t need to chop up the apple first due to the wide feed chute, which makes the juicing process fast with this model. The large pulp container is really easy to empty and most of the parts can go in the dishwasher so it’s simple to clean.
(Image credit: TechRadar)Should I buy the Breville the Juice Fountain Cold?
Buy it if...
You want a large capacity juicer
If you want to make lots of juice in one go, this is a great choice. You’ll get through quite a lot of fruit and vegetables before the large capacity jug and pulp container fill up and need to be emptied
You want smooth juice with no pulp
It makes very clear smooth juice without any pulp or graininess.
You want to juice whole fruits
The wide feed chute means most fruits and vegetables won’t need much chopping; they can be popped in whole.
Don't buy it if...
You want juice without froth
While it does make a clear smooth juice, there is still froth on top. However, the lidded jug has a froth separator which helps to keep it out of your glass.
You want a compact juicer
If you’re looking for a small compact juicer that can sit on the countertop without taking up much space, this is not the juicer for you.
You want to juice leafy greens
You won’t get a decent kale shot out of this juicer, it struggles to extract much juice from leafy greens and the air flow blows the greens back up out of the chute as you’re trying to feed it in.

Care and cleaning
Make sure the juicer is off by turning the juicer knob to the OFF position. Then unplug the power cord.
CLEANING
- Remove the juice jug.
- Remove the pulp container.
- Release the striker plate, pull out the entire juice assembly and submerge in water.
Rinse all parts (except engine base) under running water after use to remove most of the juice and pulp.
Wash in warm soapy water with a soft cloth.
To prevent food from drying out on blades, mesh or transparent parts, rinse and launder as soon as possible after use.
PULP CONTAINER
To minimize cleanup, you can line the pulp container with a biodegradable pulp bag.
MOTOR BASE
To clean the engine base, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Remove food debris from the power cord.
Do not immerse the motor base in liquids.
CLEANING PRODUCTS
Do not use scouring pads or cleaners on the motor base or jug as they may scratch the surface. Use only warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
Dishwasher
Wash all parts (except motor base) in warm soapy water with a soft cloth.
All parts except motor base and food pusher are dishwasher safe.
However, regular washing of parts in the dishwasher may shorten their life due to prolonged exposure to aggressive detergents, hot water and pressure.
Cleaning parts in the dishwasher can also damage parts, so inspect parts regularly and discontinue use if you notice any signs of damage.
Cleaning parts in the dishwasher can also damage parts, so inspect parts regularly and stop using the product if you notice any signs of damage.
FILTER BASKET
To ensure consistent juicing results, always clean the filter basket thoroughly.
immediately after use. If the pulp is allowed to dry out, it can clog the fine pores of the filter mesh, which can affect the quality of juicing. If necessary, the filter basket can be soaked in hot soapy water for 10 minutes.
Hold the filter basket under running water and use the brush (included with the juicer) to remove the pulp from inside the basket, including the blades, in a circular motion. Flip to brush the pulp from the outside of the basket and repeat if necessary.
After cleaning, hold up to a light source to ensure that the fine mesh pores are not clogged. If clogged, soak the filter basket in hot water with 10% lemon juice to make it smaller and rinse again under running water.
Do not soak the filter basket in bleach, harsh chemicals, or abrasive cleaners.
Always handle the filter basket carefully as it can be easily damaged. Do not use if there is any damage or deformation of the filter mesh.
The filter basket is dishwasher safe (top shelf).
There are many small sharp blades in the center of the filter basket. Do not touch these blades when handling the filter basket.
NUTRITIONAL SPOTS
Plastic discoloration can occur with strongly colored fruits and vegetables. To avoid this, wash parts immediately after use.
In case of discoloration, plastic parts can be soaked in water with 10% lemon juice or cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner.
Troubleshooting
Juicer won't fit when turned on:
- The safety lock lever may not be set correctly in the vertical working position. Make sure the top cover is properly aligned and that the locking lever fits snugly into the two slots on both sides of the juicer cover.
- Motor overload protection may have tripped (see below).
Overheating with excessive loads:
- The juicer is equipped with an internal self-resetting overload protection system to prevent damage to the motor under heavy or continuous loads. If the motor suddenly stops running, turn the dial to the OFF position and unplug the appliance.
Allow the juicer to cool down for at least 30 minutes before turning it on again. NOTE: The unit MUST be turned off to cool down and restart. - Despite this overload protection, we suggest juicing in small batches without excessive pushing force to avoid overheating and stalling and prolong the life of the motor.
Excess pulp build-up in stainless steel filter basket:
- Stop juicing, disassemble to remove excess pulp from juicer lid. Collect and continue juicing. This can be avoided by alternating soft and hard ingredients.
Pulp too wet and reconstituted juice:
- The cleaner the filter, the better the juice yield and the drier the pulp. Be sure to thoroughly clean your juicer as soon as possible after each use. Remove the stainless steel filter basket and thoroughly clean the mesh walls with a cleaning brush. Rinse the filter basket with hot water. If the holes in the fine mesh are blocked, soak the basket in a solution of hot water with 10% lemon juice to unblock the holes, or clean in the dishwasher (top shelf). This will remove excess fiber that may be obstructing flow.
Juice leak between juicer edge and juicer lid:
- Try lowering the juicing speed (if possible) and lower the food pusher down the feed chute more slowly.
Juice splashes from spout:
- Juice is drawn too high; try lowering the juicing speed (if possible) and lower the food pusher down the feed chute more slowly.
Motor seems to stall when overloaded Safety LED flashes:
- Wet pulp can accumulate under the juicer cover and stop the juicer if the juicer is used excessively without cleaning. If this happens, disassemble and follow the cleaning instructions to clean the filter bowl housing, stainless steel filter basket and juicer cover. The juicer may also stop if excessive force is applied to force the product down the feed chute. In this case, make sure to use lighter pressure to push the product down the chute.
- The juicer will automatically stop if too much food is processed at one time. Try to process a smaller amount per batch. To continue juicing, restart the juicer by turning the juicer off and on again.
- Turn on the juicer before loading the ingredients into the chute. Pressing ingredients before the juicer reaches full speed may cause the motor to stop or overload. Apply light or moderate pressure to the pusher.
Lower pressure gives better juice yield. - Hard fruits and vegetables will cause excessive load on the engine if low speed is selected. Refer to the Juicing Guide to determine the correct speed for fruits and vegetables selected for juicing. Overload protection
LED flashes during use:
- This indicates that the motor speed has been reduced to an inefficient level. This can be caused by too much pushing force on the pusher or too much pulp on the lid or pulp rod. Apply moderate pressure to the food pusher and clean the lid and pulp container regularly to keep the juicer running at optimum speed.
Overload protection LED on:
- This means that the motor overload protection has tripped. To reset the device, turn the knob to the OFF position, unplug the juicer and let the motor cool down for 25-30 minutes, then plug the juicer back in.
If any of the above problems persist or if you have any questions, stop using the juicer and contact Breville customer service.
Tips
INSIDE JUICE INFORMATION
Fresh fruit and vegetable juices are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals.
When you make your own fruit and vegetable juices, you have complete control over what's in them.
COOKING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Fruits with hard or inedible skins should be peeled before juicing, including mangoes, guava, melons, etc.
Some vegetables, such as cucumbers, may be processed unpeeled, depending on the softness of the skin and whether you like the taste of the peel in the juice.
Fruits with hard seeds or pits must be pitted before juicing, including nectarines, peaches, mangoes, plums, cherries, as the skin and pith can make the juice bitter.
Thick-core or peeled citrus fruits should be peeled before juicing, including oranges, lemons, tangerines, etc.
Cut leaves and wash vegetables to remove soil/soil, including carrots, beets, spinach, etc.
Before juicing, trim, peel and remove stems, including strawberries, apples, pears, etc.
A small amount of lemon juice can be added to apple juice to reduce browning.
PROPER TECHNIQUE
When juicing different ingredients with different textures, start with the softer ingredients at LOW speed and then switch to HIGH speed for harder ingredients.
If you are juicing herbs, sprouts, or other leafy green vegetables, either wrap them together to form a bunch, or alternate with harder ingredients for better extraction.
Fruits and vegetables release varying amounts of liquid, which may vary by batch or by season. Juice recipes are imprecise, so the exact amount of any juice is not critical to the success of a particular blend.
To extract the maximum amount of juice, always lower the food pusher slowly.
Allow the motor to reach full speed before loading ingredients into the tray. Pressing ingredients before the juicer reaches full speed may cause the motor to stop or overload. Apply light or moderate pressure to the pusher. Lower pressure gives better juice yield.
MASS UTILIZATION
The remaining pulp after juicing fruits and vegetables consists mainly of fiber and cellulose, which, like the nutrients in juice, are essential for daily diet and can be used in many ways.
Vegetable pulp can be used to plump burgers, casseroles or soups.
Fruit pulp can be placed in a heatproof bowl, sprinkled with meringue and baked in the oven as a simple dessert.
If pulp is used, pieces of fruit or vegetables may remain.
These must be removed before using the pulp in any recipe.
In addition to being used as food, the pulp can also be used to make garden compost.

Juices have been one of the hottest health and wellness trends of the last decade.
While juice should never be used as a substitute for eating plenty of whole, fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, many people find it an easy and tasty way to increase their intake of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.
Although juice bars can be found in many cities, buying fresh juice every day can be an expensive habit. Therefore, many juice lovers prefer to make them at home.
If you're thinking about buying a juicer, there are several factors to consider before making your final choice, including price, style, size, and how you plan to use it.
In this article, we will take a detailed look at the top 10 juicers, as well as factors to consider before buying.
Best Juicers at a Glance
- Best: Breville Juice Fountain Cold XL
- Best for Beginners:
Juicer type
Be sure to first determine which type of juicer you prefer. This is important because different types of juicers can vary greatly in price, and some may be better suited to certain types of food than others.
For example, chewing juicers are best for leafy greens like spinach and kale, while centrifugal juicers are more economical and work well for fruits and other types of vegetables.
In addition, chewy juicers are generally quieter than centrifugal juicers, which can be an important consideration for some people.
Size
Juicers are also available in different sizes. While horizontal juicers can produce more juice, vertical juicers are more compact and may be preferable for people with limited space.
Some juicers also have a wider feed chute, which means you can place fruits and vegetables more easily without cutting them into smaller pieces.
Speed
Juicers also vary in speed. Slow juicers work well for soft fruit, while faster speed juicers can be used for harder foods. Some models may also offer multiple speed settings, although this is usually more expensive.
Cleaning
Finally, keep in mind that juicers with fewer removable parts are easier to take apart and clean.
Some of them can also be washed in the dishwasher for faster cleaning. How we chose

It comes with two pre-programmed speed settings so you can customize the process to suit the type and texture of the food you are cooking.

The loading chute is 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide so minimal food preparation is required and all removable parts are dishwasher safe.
It comes with a limited 3-year warranty and is economical, with many reviewers commenting that it's excellent value for money.

- 9 better juicer Juicer Hurom HP Slow
Price: $ $ $
If you are looking for a juicer for personal use, pay attention to the Hurom HP Slow Juicer.
It's stylish and compact, making it a good option for those with limited space or who just want to make enough juice for one or two people at a time.
However, its small size does not mean that it cannot work. The near-silent 150W motor and single auger are powerful enough to juice a wide range of fruits and vegetables, including leafy greens.
The auger runs at an ultra-slow 43 rpm to preserve juice quality, leaving behind exceptionally dry pulp that can be used to make sherbet, tofu and plant-based milk substitutes.
It is durable and has fewer removable parts than its competitors, meaning cleaning is quick and stress-free.
Hurom HP also comes with a 10 year manufacturer's warranty.
The main disadvantages are that the input tray and juice volume are small - meaning you need to cut food into smaller pieces - and that it only has one setting. However, for those who want to have a no-fuss personal juicer, these disadvantages can be seen as advantages.
Why do we love this
- Quiet motor
- Compact for personal use
- has less removable parts for easy cleaning
- include a 10-year guarantee of the manufacturer

Best Citrus Juicer
Chef'n FreshForce Citrus Juicer
Cost: $
The Chef'n FreshForce Citrus Juicer is a convenient and affordable manual juicer ideal for hand-juicing small citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and tangerines.
It has a simple, easy to use design and is made of durable stainless steel and nylon. To get started, all you have to do is cut the fruit in half, place it in the juicer and squeeze the handles.
Juicer is dishwasher safe and probably affordable for almost any budget. It is also quite small and does not require much storage space.
In addition, reviewers note that it is strong, durable and has a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer.
The main drawback is the lack of versatility. While it's great for juicing small fruits, it's too small for juicing larger citrus fruits like oranges or grapefruits.
Also, if you have a weak grip, you may find it difficult to squeeze the handles to extract the juice.

Omega Ultimate Juicer and Power System
Price: $$

This juicer is exceptionally versatile and can juice any fruit, vegetable, leafy green, wheatgrass and everything in between. It also has multiple settings for making pasta, homemade nut butter, sherbet and baby food.
The juicer is equipped with a powerful yet quiet 200W motor that allows the durable auger to grind food slowly - 80 RPM to be exact - to preserve juice quality and maximize yield.
It comes with a generous 15 year limited warranty and is slightly cheaper than many other juicers in its class.
The main disadvantages are the small loading tray and the many parts that need to be cleaned after each use. These features mean you have to spend more time juicing than with other models.
However, all removable parts are dishwasher safe, and because the juice has such a long shelf life, you may not need to use the juice very often.
Some users also report that the screen becomes easily clogged when juicing soft fruits or vegetables, although they also note that this can be easily corrected using a pulp scoop.

Product comparison
Here is a quick overview of how our best options compare:
$ $ chewing 200 W Most of fruits and vegetables 12 years CHILDRENTIVE TRASTICS: There are four basic ones.
Below is a brief overview of each type along with potential benefits and aspects to consider.
Citrus Juicers
Citrus Juicers are the simplest type and are generally relatively affordable. However, their function is very limited.
As the name suggests, citrus juicers are primarily designed to extract juice from citrus fruits. Thus, if you want to make juice from a variety of fruits and vegetables, a citrus juicer will probably not meet your needs.
However, it's a great choice for those who want to use fresh juice for basic cooking and bartending or just enjoy a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast.
Centrifugal Juicers
Centrifugal Juicers use the force generated by rapidly rotating metal blades—typically 6,000-16,000 RPM—to produce juice.
As the blades rotate, they cut and press fruits and vegetables into a strainer that separates the juice from the pulp.
Centrifugal juicers are one of the most popular types because they are relatively affordable, easy to clean and can juice a wide variety of fruits and vegetables in a short amount of time.
Some of the disadvantages of centrifugal juicers are that they are generally not suitable for juicing leafy greens and often leave very wet pulp behind, indicating that the maximum amount of juice has not been extracted.
Because the rotating blades produce heat, juices made with this type of machine tend to oxidize quickly. This gives the juice a limited shelf life of approximately 24 hours or less.
For the best nutritional value and the freshest taste, juice made with a centrifugal juicer should be drunk as quickly as possible. This may not be ideal for those who want to save the juice for later.
However, if you are looking for an automatic juicer that is fast and easy to use, a centrifugal juicer might be the best option for you.
Juicers
Auger juicers, also known as slow or geared juicers, use a single auger to slowly grind fruits and vegetables against a filter to separate the juice from the pulp.
They are great for juicing a wide variety of foods, from hardy vegetables like carrots, celery and beets to softer fruits like oranges and berries.
They are also one of the best tools for juicing leafy greens like spinach, kale, and Swiss chard.
Unlike centrifugal juicers, chewing juicers are too slow to produce significant heat. In turn, this prevents the juice from oxidizing, effectively extending its shelf life to around 72 hours.
What's more, chewing juicers tend to produce much more juice than other types of juicers. This can help reduce food waste.
The main disadvantages of chewable juicers are the cost and the amount of time it often takes to use and clean them.
However, many people say that the longer process is worth it in order to get high quality juice that stays fresh for several days.
Triturating Juicers
Triturating Juicers are similar to chewing juicers but have a double screw design.
This type of juicer uses rotating double gears to crush and mince fruits and vegetables and extract as much juice as possible, as well as very dry pulp.
Triturator juicers are ideal for vegetables and leafy greens, but they also work well with soft fruits like berries, mangoes and melons.

Price: $$
The Breville 800CPXL combines the simplicity of a manual citrus juicer with the convenience of an electric motor.
Its motorized reamer is versatile enough to be used on any type of citrus, regardless of size. All you have to do is push the lever while the reamer is spinning to extract the juice.
It is made of stainless steel and all main functional components are removable and dishwasher safe. It has two separate pulp settings and the pour spout features a drip stop feature to reduce the risk of spillage.
The disadvantages of this product are the price and reliability of the motor, as some users have reported that the motor tends to overheat if you make very large amounts of juice at one time.
However, it comes with a one-year manufacturer's warranty and many users comment that it's made from durable and high quality materials, which can help justify the price.
