Pros

• Quiet motor
• Extra-large chute for easy prep work

Cons

• Only one speed setting

The NutriBullet Slow Juicer comes with the basics you need at an entry-level price point. Accessories include a multi-purpose strainer, a juice container with visible markings, a pulp-collecting container and a scrub brush for easy cleaning. It's intuitive to assemble thanks to the design of the strainer that only allows you to insert it into the juicing chamber one way. The 3-inch wide chute can fit large pieces of fruits and veggies, and a smaller section accommodates thinner ingredients. The mechanism is also easier to clean than others which are typically narrower with more pieces and crevices.

In our initial tests, it yielded 1 cup of apple juice from three apples, which is the same impressive amount we juiced from the more powerful Pure Juicer below. It's relatively quiet and the no-drip spout lets you easily pour your tasty juice when ready. An included recipe book provides tips on juicing and other fun options like using leftover pulp for cooking and baking.

Pros

• Small foorprint
• Self feeding

Cons

• Juice came out a little pulpy

This 2021 Good Housekeeping Kitchen Gear Award Winner features an updated self-feeding hopper and a large opening that can hold more ingredients while the juicer is running – that means you don’t have to worry about standing by and guiding your fruits and veggies into the grinder one by one.

While traditional juicer strainers have tiny holes that are harder to clean, this strainer features elongated slits that are much easier to clean without additional scrubbing. In our tests, it produced rich kale juice and apple juice that was very tasty but had some pulp remaining. The inclusion of multiple strainers and attachments allows you to make smoothies, ice cream and even nut milk. It has a slimmer footprint than many juicers because the pulp container is hidden under the juicer.

Pros

• Two stage juicing
• Easy to clean

Cons

• Pricey

This high-end appliance provides a two-stage juicing process to extract the most juice you can get out of an ingredient, making it ideal for use with hard vegetables. The left side grinds produce into a superfine pulp and the right side features a hydraulic press that exerts 2.5 tons of force to press the juice out of the superfine pulp that is held within a straining towel. In our recent Lab testing, it created apple, kale and carrot juice that had absolutely no sediment and tasted clean and sweet with incredibly vibrant color and very little foam. The resulting byproduct was minimal, bone-dry pulp.

While this style of cold press juicing is more expensive and a little more involved than most juicers because of its two-step and somewhat manual process, once you get the hang of it, you are rewarded with silky, smooth juice — and plenty of it! You can also use this juicer to make nut butter by grinding nuts through the left side and sorbet by grinding frozen fruit. All stainless steel parts are easy to clean by hand but are also dishwasher-safe and the machine comes with a 12-year transferable warranty.

Pros

• Pulp control
• Easy to clean

Cons

• Pricey

Most juicers have metal mesh strainers that need to be diligently scrubbed, but the Hurom Easy Clean Slow Juicer has heavy-duty plastic strainers, which change the juicer cleanup game.

They have large vertical grooves that are much easier to clean. The tilted juicing chamber pours out more juice, too, which leaves you with less mess inside. In addition to the new strainers and improved interior, this slow juicer comes with a double-sided cleaning brush that gets into all the crevices of the mechanism. Plus, it's easier to remove fruit and veggie pulp from the juicer thanks to a little trap door that allows for even easier cleaning and less digging around the machine to clean it thoroughly.

In our Lab's testing, this model made some of the freshest-tasting green juice and we loved that you can control the amount of pulp by using the fine or coarse strainer; whether you like pulpy orange juice or silky smooth cucumber juice, we found the juice to be very tasty. The coarse strainer is great for smoothies and the fine strainer for ice cream, as well.

How we test juicers

In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Culinary Innovation Lab, we have tested more than 50 juicers including masticating juicers (a.k.a. cold-press or slow juicers) and centrifugal juicers. When we test them, we juice carrots, which are hard and can sometimes taste bitter; kale, a popular leafy vegetable that's hard to juice and can jam the machine and apples which are pulpy with a large diameter and oxidize quickly. We measure how much juice each juicer extracts as well as how much pulp is created as a byproduct. We also taste and evaluate how smooth and sweet each juice is, and we monitor the juice for three days to see if it separates as it sits.

What type of juicer is best?

✔️ Slow juicers or masticating juicers typically have a narrow vertical chute that guides ingredients into a chamber where they are pressed by a rotating auger. The fresh juice is squeezed out through a strainer and into a pitcher, while the pulp is dispensed from a second spout. The process is a little slow — it’s called a slow juicer for a reason! — but this is considered a good thing. The slow, gentle process is believed to preserve nutrients better than high-speed juicers that generate heat which can affect the taste of the final product. What we don’t love about slow juicers is they often require a little more prep work due to their small feed tubes (which means you'll have to dice up fruits and veggies into smaller chunks) and cleanup is arduous due to many small parts and crevices. Brands like Breville and NutriBullet have found a workaround and recently introduced new, wide-mouth slow juicers. This allows fruits like large apples to simply be quartered instead of chunked into one-inch pieces.

✔️ Centrifugal juicers juice much faster than slow juicers. Whole ingredients are typically dropped into the wider feed tube and pulverized at a very high speed. For example, in our leafy greens test, 100 grams of kale juiced in as quickly as 7 seconds in a centrifugal juicer, while it took upwards of 1 minute in the slow juicers. The juice from centrifugal juicers tends to come out a little foamy but most come with lidded pitchers and built-in strainers to get rid of the foam.

✔️ Citrus juicers are the easiest to use and most streamlined, but they can only be used for citrus. They can easily be stored or remain on your counter because they take up minimal space. Citrus juicers are also great for getting the most out of your lemons (and other citrus) with minimal effort, and you don’t have to worry about peeling, segmenting or removing the seeds first. If you’re juicing a lot of citrus consecutively, remember to empty the strainer periodically. The strainers are prone to build up, which could translate into a slower and messier juicing process.

What to look for when shopping for the best juicer

✔️ Price: Cold-press or masticating juicers tend to be more expensive than their centrifugal counterparts because their machinery is designed to slowly and gently extract juice. While there are some affordable options, expect to spend a couple hundred dollars to get a juicer that’s designed to last — and make good juice. While a citrus juicer tends to be at a lower price point than both masticating and centrifugal juicers, it's quite limited in its functionality.

✔️ Style: There are two different styles of juicers: vertical and horizontal – which refers to the way you juice. With a vertical juicer, you feed ingredients at the top, and juice is collected from the bottom of the juicer like the Hurom h201 Easy Clean Slow Juicer. With a horizontal juicer, you feed fruits and vegetables from the left and juice is extracted from the right like the Emeril Everyday Juicer. Vertical juicers typically have a one-piece design, making setup and cleanup a bit simpler, but they’re not quite as powerful as the slightly more cumbersome horizontal models.

✔️ Size of feed tube: The larger the tube, the less prep work — i.e. chopping — you’ll have to do. Some juicers, like the Nutribullet Slow Masticating Juicer Machine, even have one section large enough for an entire apple and another section that's designed to accommodate thin items like celery and kale for maximum efficiency.

✔️ Accessories: Some juicers come with different-sized strainers that allow for different amounts of pulp in juices — and even smoothies. A very fine strainer would reduce the amount of pulp for a silky smooth finish while a strainer with larger holes will allow some pulp to go through giving a more viscous juice with added fiber from the pulp. Some juicers can be used to make sauces, purees, nut butters and sorbets, depending on the sizing of the strainers that are provided — use finer strainers for sorbets and larger strainers for thick nut butter. If you choose a machine with these types of accessories, look for included cleaning brushes to keep things sanitary.

✔️ Power: Though most slow juicers won’t win any awards for speed, it’s worth considering power for centrifugal juicers, particularly if you juice tougher items like celery or greens. Look for models upwards of 1,000 watts to power the juicing of tough ingredients. Weaker motors may stop working mid-juice because they get overheated and need to cool down. We've experienced it several times in the Lab.

✔️ Ease of cleaning: Juicers by design have numerous parts that can be cumbersome to clean. Look for models with dishwasher-safe parts and models that come with cleaning brushes to ensure that you don’t spend more time cleaning than juicing.

✔️ Warranty: There’s no question about it — juicers are pricey appliances. If you’re investing in one that is more expensive like the Pure Juicer, it’s worth checking warranty information to ensure you’ll be satisfied for years to come.

If you’re craving the sweetness of freshly squeezed orange juice or the bright, earthy tang of green juices on a regular basis, it might be time to think about purchasing a juicer. Having fresh juice on demand can elevate everything from brunch to cocktails, or just help you make the most of fruits and vegetables that are languishing in your crisper.

To find the juicers that are worth the money and counter space, we squeezed juice out of everything from kale to oranges to find the best options for you, whether you’re looking for a heavy-duty model capable of handling any vegetable or fruit or just looking for something simple for occasional use.

Hurom H-AA Slow Juicer

The best juicer overall

The Hurom H-AA consistently gave us more juice with better body than any other juicer we tested. It's more expensive than the others, but if you want the most from your fruits and vegetables, it's worth the money and the counter space.

$369.54 at Wayfair $399.00 at Walmart $439.00 at The Home Depot

The Hurom H-AA was on the pricier end of the devices we tested, but this juicer is worth the squeeze. The Hurom consistently produced juice with a deep, clean body, leaving behind extruded pulp that was more compact and less wet than other models — unsurprising since the Hurom was able to make more juice on average from fruits and vegetables than the other models we tested.

It is a stylish appliance available in three colors: rose gold, black, and chrome. The Hurom seems to have a lot of parts when you remove it from the box, but the setup is intuitive and small touches like the arrows indicating where pieces snap together made the process quicker with each round of juicing. While it was the heaviest juicer, the slim design meant it took up less space on the counter, which was nice because there was plenty of chopping to be done before juicing.

The narrow chute and slower speed of the rotating auger require you to add smaller pieces to avoid clogging the juicer. But compared to the typical rinsing of vegetables and peeling oranges you’d do anyway, the additional cutting didn’t feel like an onerous amount of work. The reality is that juicing will always require more effort than grabbing a container from the fridge and we didn’t feel that the Hurom required undue effort, especially given the consistently good results.

The juice from the Hurom was clear and mostly free of foam thanks to the spinning brush that rotates in the opposite direction from the auger. Masticating juicers, which use pressure to extract juice from the fruit and vegetables, introduce less air (and correspondingly less foam) into the juice, as opposed to the high-speed action of the rapidly spinning blade inside centrifugal juicers. And the Hurom was the best in class when it came to producing juice with body and lovely flavor.

With softer fruits like the orange and watermelon, the juice had a depth of color and flavor that earned the Hurom top marks. But the real difference was the juice extracted from leafy greens, carrots and ginger. The juices felt full without being pulpy because of the stainless steel screen, and had a roundness that was satisfying. Although the kale juice from the Hurom did have a bit more foam than other models, it didn’t impact the volume of juice or flavor.

While the Hurom’s parts need to be hand-washed after use, the included tools are well-suited to the task. The pair of brushes made quick work of carrot pulp on the strainer and cleaned celery strings out of the extruder.

A longer warranty (10 years on the motor and 2 years on parts) than other models means you can feel comfortable that you’re getting more for your money from the Hurom, even given its higher price.

NutriBullet Juicer Pro

The best budget juicer

The oversized chute, useful accessories and ease of cleaning makes the NutriBullet Juicer Pro a strong choice if you’re new to juicing or looking for value. It was one of the simplest to set up and break down and it yielded delicious carrot and kale juice.

There are two main types of juicers. Masticating juicers (sometimes called cold press juicers) use a slow-turning auger to squeeze juice out of fruits and vegetables. Centrifugal juicers (or juice extractors) operate at a higher speed, pushing fruits and veggies through rapidly spinning blades.

Both types are capable of making good juice, though masticating designs typically achieve better results, with less foam (since they aren’t agitating the liquid as much) and more yield (since they’re more effective at separating out dry, fibrous material from the juice). Masticating juicers are typically more expensive, however.

Juicers differ from blenders in that they separate out the pulp and leftovers you don’t want using a filter (typically a mesh screen). A blender doesn’t really make “juice” since everything stays in the same container, though it can achieve a fine-enough consistency for a thicker drink such as a smoothie. You can, of course, strain blended material after the fact, using cheesecloth or a sieve, but that’s a lot more work.

We tested juicers over the course of a month. Each juicer was unboxed and assembled with an eye toward how much effort it took to get ready to juice.

We rinsed each juicer and then made four different juice recipes: orange, watermelon with mint and lime, carrot ginger and green juice (kale, ginger, lemon, Granny Smith apples and celery). After juicing, we washed each piece by hand or ran it through the dishwasher if it was labeled as dishwasher safe.

Overall, we considered the design and build of each juicer, how it functioned, the process of cleaning and what accessories were included. We compared the performance of each juicer against the other models and then weighed those factors alongside the warranty and price to determine the products we would recommend.

We looked carefully at the size of the feed chute and whether that meant more or less prep in advance of juicing. We also monitored the extruder and juice nozzle where pulp and juice were produced to look for clogs and drips. We considered whether a strainer — if part of the design — effectively caught and separated out pulp. And we considered the volume of a juicer in operation to see if we could hold a conversation and if it sounded like the motor was straining.

Since juicing can be a messy process, we considered whether attachments were dishwasher-safe, if pulp got trapped inside the strainer or chute and if the juicer leaked on the counter when it was being taken apart to be cleaned.

We looked at the materials used and whether the juicer felt sturdy; noted how easy it was to put together and break down the components, in particular the strainer or grinder; and considered the availability of color options, as well as what attachments or accessories were included that might change the functionality of a juicer. And since juicers can be expensive, we noted the length and terms of the warranty.

The Nama is sleek and crafted with intention. The waffle design and smaller profile of the base make this one of the few juicers you’d want to leave out on display.

If the interior mechanisms look familiar (and the quiet hum sounds familiar), that’s because the Nama is made, on a contract basis, by Hurom. The juicer is all the better for that relationship, producing brilliant juice that is light and bright and exactly what you’d fork over $8 to someone else to make.

But the juice exacts a heavy price when you’re the one at the counter. We did a lot of chopping to fit the slim feed tube and to make sure the auger didn’t clog with pulp. Greens and carrot bits occasionally bottlenecked in the filter because of the narrow pulp chute.

It was fussier than the Hurom. The main drawback was that everything needed to be cleaned by hand and there were lots of places for pulp to get snagged. Attempting to fish out strings of the celery from the back of the extruder was as frustrating as any carnival game. While it’s one of the most expensive juicers we tested, it (like the Hurom) does come with a 10-year warranty on the motor and 2-year warranty on parts.

If you’re daunted by daily fruit and vegetable prep, the Breville Juice Fountain deserves a look. The three-inch wide chute means that big pieces of fruit, like half a Granny Smith apple, fit easily, and that’s less chopping for you. The juicer snapped together fairly quickly, but some of the connections — the top of the pitcher and where the plastic housing met the pulp container — were clunky.

The Breville produced juice quickly, a benefit if you’re regularly juicing for more than two people. It handled oranges, carrots and watermelon well, although some carrot juice and pulp was trapped around the rim of the strainer. The juice was a bit foamy with slightly more body than the other centrifugal juicers. The flavor wasn’t as clean as the juice extracted by the masticating juicers we tested.

The Breville did struggle with kale, as several leaves sat atop the strainer when we opened it up. The juice also came out violently. Thankfully the massive 70-ounce pitcher came with a snap-on top, which prevented juice from spraying on the counter. The juicer does need to be washed by hand and while the parts are larger, there are plenty of curves that can snag bits of pulp.

It felt like magic watching an entire carrot disappear down the oversized, 3-inch-wide feeding tube of this budget juicer. And the carrot juice it produced was rich and earthy without being foamy.

Yet, the magic didn’t last. The centrifugal juicer snapped together quickly and stayed in place thanks to rubber feet, but it doesn’t come with a container for catching juice. While it’s less than 15 inches tall, the added height of the tamper meant we had to use it at the front of our counters as it was bumping up against the bottom of upper cabinets. When we clicked on, it was loud enough to wake a sleeping dog in the next room.

The orange juice was too thin, with a bit of pulp, and the flavor of the watermelon juice was muddy. The juicer struggled to break down leafy greens and the green juice was foamy and slightly bitter. Pulp got trapped along the rim where the strainer snapped in place. Stringy pieces of carrot were difficult to remove from the strainer. We also found whole leaves, pieces of apple skin and thin carrot slices among the wet pulp (which means less juice was extracted from fruits and vegetables).

All of the components, except the base, are dishwasher-safe, so the juicer was easy to clean. The blades were sharp, which we unfortunately discovered with the tip of a finger when we were trying to clean out some of the kale leaves by hand. The juicer does come with a 3-year limited warranty.

While the Kuvings masticating juicer was easy to assemble and clean, the act of juicing had a bit of a learning curve. It was on the quieter side of the models we tested, only slightly louder than the Hurom.

The auger did a nice job of slowly pulling in fruits and vegetables. Softer fruit like watermelon and orange slices tended to hang out in the main chamber. This took more time and use of the reverse button to keep the fruit pulp moving.

This balancing act fell apart with carrots as the dense, slightly wet pulp gummed up the works and had to be cleaned out in the middle of juicing. The leafy green juice was clean, if a bit foamy, but the foam was nicely kept out of a drinking glass by the included pour shield.

The juicer is compact, about the size of a small toaster. As a result, the feeding tube is narrow and the juice container would need to be poured into another vessel if you were making a large batch of juice. The Kuvings does have a 5-year limited warranty and is available in three colors: chrome, white and silver. The juicer also comes with seven different nozzles designed for extruding fresh pasta or grinding meats and nuts.

Which centrifugal or auger juicer to choose?

What does auger juicer mean? What does centrifugal juicer mean? Which is better to buy: screw or centrifugal juicer?

Everyone can make freshly squeezed juice for breakfast today. It remains to understand which juicer to choose - centrifugal or auger? Let's look at the design features of each type.

What is an auger juicer?

The main difference between juicers is their principle of operation. The auger acts like a meat grinder:

• Food is placed into the chamber through a feed chute - large for whole fruits or small for pieces.
• The operating mode must then be selected. For example, the screw model Polaris PSJ 0601 has nine of them: you can specify the softness of the product, make a mix of soft and hard fruits, and make smoothies. There are separate modes for vegetable, pomegranate juice, milk from nuts and automatic self-cleaning.
• A spiral shaft, or auger, is launched inside the body, which rotates at high speed and twists the fruits into a homogeneous mass.
• The mass is pressed through the mesh, the cake is collected in a separate container, and the drink flows into another container.

The meat grinder is also reversed here. If the auger is overloaded, it can be easily released by running it in reverse for 10 seconds.

What is a centrifugal juicer?

Most of us are familiar with this type of instrument. It works with the help of centrifugal force, thanks to which it got its name:

• You put vegetables or fruits through a special chute and select the speed for processing soft or hard products.
• Pieces are ground through a filter grater until smooth.
• This "meat" is sent to a rotating separator, where it spins at high speed and is pressed into the walls under the influence of centrifugal force.
• The rolled cake is collected in a container, and the clear juice flows into a separate container.

All centrifugal juicers operate on this simple principle. They differ in power, neck diameter, number of speed modes, volume of tanks for cake and juice. Manufacturers also add additional options to make using the device even more convenient. For example, the Polaris PEA 1535AL model has a drop-stop function. This means that after cooking, you can raise the spout so that the remaining juice does not drip onto the table. And this juicer also has an increased working area of ​​​​the filter: from the same amount of fruits it will be possible to squeeze one and a half times more juice.

What is better to buy: an auger or a centrifugal juicer?

When choosing a juicer model, consider not only the right size for your kitchen and attractive design, but also important technical features.

Functionality

Centrifugal models handle almost all solids well. Clear juice will be obtained even from berries with small seeds, because they are carefully screened out through a filter. The main thing is to take out large bones in advance and remove the especially hard peel. But soft fruits like bananas, mangoes, papaya cannot be scrolled - their cake clogs the filter.

Auger models, on the other hand, are “sharpened” for thick drinks. This is the main difference between an auger and a centrifugal juicer. In addition to regular juices, you can make smoothies, fruit or vegetable baby puree, sorbets for freezing.

Beverage Benefits

Since auger juicers operate on the cold pressing principle, they retain more nutrients in the finished drink, and the juice yield can be 85%. Drinks with pulp are considered healthier because they contain a lot of fiber, which is necessary for proper digestion.

Power

The lower the power, the weaker the juice is squeezed and the more fruit or vegetables will be needed to prepare a typical drink. And the greater the number of revolutions, the harder the fruits can be processed and the more juice will be obtained at the output. On the other hand, lower power appliances usually cost less and use less electricity.

Easy loading

The wide mouth of the loading opening allows you to put whole fruits. Polaris has many 85mm wide mouth juicer models. Before loading appliances with a narrow feed chute, be sure to cut the food into pieces. However, many models are equipped with two loading chutes at once, large and small.

When choosing which juicer is best, centrifugal or auger, other parameters are important. They may not be related to the device type. Well, if overload protection is provided, as well as blocking the inclusion when the lid is not tightly closed. It is convenient when there are rubberized anti-slip nozzles on the legs. Low noise level, enlarged filter, the possibility of automatic self-cleaning - these options will also make using the juicer much more enjoyable.

How to choose a good fruit and vegetable juicer

It's easy to make natural juice with Scarlett juicers. To choose a juicer, consider its type, power and availability of additional options. Our top best home juicers will help you decide.

Juicer types

There are three types of juicers:

● Screw. They have low power and grind vegetables, berries and herbs.

● Centrifuge. Needed for quick preparation of drinks from vegetables and fruits due to the high-speed rotation of the centrifuge.

● Citrus juicers. Used in fruit processing. The extraction takes place by pressing the nozzle, which can grind only soft citrus fruits.

How juicers work

Screw-type devices work like standard meat grinders. The products are placed in the chamber, then the rotating shaft crushes them, carefully rubbing against the metal mesh. The cake also goes into the glass, and the glass is filled with juice.

In centrifugal juicers, vegetables and fruits are grated, crushed and separated into liquid and solid residues. The juice drains through the spout into one tank, and the cake enters the other.

In citrus juicers, the fruit must first be cut in half, then pressed on the cone, which is driven by a motor. With the help of a filter, bones and fibers are separated, and the finished juice flows into the tank. The cake remains on the filter.

Scarlett Auger Juicer Rating
