The Best Fruit Juicers
Fruit is three different jobs, not one. Hard fruit rewards a wide chute, citrus needs its own machine, and soft fruit defeats all of them.

We earn a commission if you buy through links on this page, at no extra cost to you. It does not change what we recommend or the order we rank things in. Full disclosure.
For fruit across the board the machine we would buy is the Kuvings REVO830 -- a 3.5 in chute for whole apples and pineapple wedges, 50 RPM so soft fruit is crushed rather than flung, and a 15-year limited warranty from Kuvings USA. But the more useful thing to say first is that "fruit juicer" is three different machines, because fruit behaves in three different ways once it meets a screen: hard fruit rewards a wide chute, citrus needs a press, and soft fruit is a problem no juicer on this page solves well.

Fruit changes the criteria this site normally uses
Auger & Pulp judges every juicer on yield, pulp, cleanup and price, weighted for someone starting a daily green or celery habit. A fruit-first buyer is a different person, and three of the four weightings move:
- 1.Chute width stops being a convenience and becomes the main cost of ownership. Fruit is big and round. An apple is about 3 in across and a pineapple wedge is bigger; on a 1.5 in horizontal chute every piece gets cut down first, which is twenty-odd minutes of knife work a week you never get back. This is the single strongest argument for the wide-chute machines on this page.
- 2.Mechanism matters less than it does on greens. The reason this site keeps steering people to augers is celery and kale, where a spinning basket rides long fibers instead of crushing them. Apples, pears and pineapple have short fiber and plenty of free liquid, so a centrifugal machine is genuinely competitive on fruit rather than a compromise -- which is why three of the seven picks here are centrifugal.
- 3.Foam becomes a visible problem. Fruit sugar plus aeration makes a head you can measure in fingers, and it is worst on high-speed machines and on pineapple in particular. Breville's froth separator in the JE98XL carafe exists for this. Juicer foam and oxidation explains what the foam actually is.
- 4.Yield stops being the deciding factor. Fruit is generous. Nobody in this category publishes a yield figure for any produce, so there is no number to shop on -- but the gap between machines is narrower on an apple than on a stalk of celery, which frees you to buy on chute width and cleanup instead.
The three kinds of fruit, and what each needs
| Fruit type | Examples | What it needs | Picks here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hard fruit | Apples, pears, pineapple, firm plums | A wide chute and enough torque; mechanism is open | Kuvings REVO830, Breville Juice Fountain Cold XL, Breville JE98XL, Hamilton Beach Big Mouth |
| Soft fruit | Berries, peaches, mango, melon flesh | Low back pressure and a coarse screen; low yield regardless | Omega NC900HDC, Breville JE98XL on its low speed |
| Citrus | Oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruit | A reamer or lever press, never a whole-fruit machine | Breville Citrus Press Pro 800CPXL |
Cold press or centrifugal, for fruit specifically
On this one page the answer is genuinely close, which is unusual for this site. The published speeds set out the trade: Omega runs at 80 RPM, Kuvings and Nama at 50 RPM, while Breville's JE98XL states 6,500 and 12,000 RPM and the Juice Fountain Cold XL runs on 1200 W. On celery that gap is decisive. On an apple it mostly buys you time.
Buy the centrifugal machine if fruit is the whole plan, speed matters on a weekday morning, and the budget is the binding constraint. Buy the auger if you will also juice greens or celery at any point, if you want the juice to hold up for a few hours in a jar, or if noise matters. Masticating vs centrifugal takes the comparison apart properly, and cold press vs centrifugal does it from the other direction.

Chute width: the one spec worth paying for here
It is the only specification on this page that reliably predicts something you will feel every single morning, and the spread is wide. Two machines here state 3.5 in; two state 3 in; Omega's horizontal chute is narrow enough that whole apples are out of the question, and Tribest's Greenstar Pro -- not on this page for exactly this reason -- states a 1.5 in opening.
The arithmetic is simple. A medium apple is around 3 in across. At 3 in and above you drop fruit in whole or halved; below it, every apple becomes four pieces and every pineapple becomes a project. Over a year of fruit juicing that difference dwarfs any yield advantage anyone could claim, and it is the reason best large chute juicers exists as its own page.

Prep: what fruit still needs doing
A wide chute removes most of the chopping but not all of the prep, and four fruits have rules of their own:
- Apples and pears -- core-in is fine on an auger machine and on most centrifugals; the pips are small and the machine handles them. Stems off.
- Pineapple -- the rind has to come off whatever you own, and the core is juicable on an auger but worth cutting out on a lightweight machine. Best juicers for pineapple covers it properly.
- Stone fruit -- peaches, plums, nectarines: the stone comes out, always. A stone in a spinning basket is a cutting edge meeting something harder than it, and in an auger it is a jam.
- Citrus -- peel it, and do not put it through a whole-fruit machine if a press is available. Pith and peel oils are bitter, and citrus oil is hard on some plastics over time.
Grapes deserve their own mention because the seeds change the answer: best juicers for grapes sets out why grape seeds are bitter when crushed and what to do about it.
The sugar question, answered honestly
Fruit juice is sweeter and more concentrated than vegetable juice, and plenty of people searching for a fruit juicer are also wondering whether that matters. We are not going to answer it, because this site judges juicers on yield, pulp, cleanup and price and has no standing to give nutrition advice. That is a question for a registered dietitian, and be suspicious of any juicer site that answers it for you.
What we can tell you is mechanical: diluting fruit juice with cucumber or celery changes the drink without changing the machine, and every pick on this page handles cucumber well. Best juicers for cucumbers is the page for that side of it.
What each of these is wrong for
- Kuvings REVO830 -- wrong if counter clearance above the chute is tight, and the warranty varies by seller.
- Breville Juice Fountain Cold XL -- wrong for celery and greens despite the name, wrong if quiet matters, and one year of cover.
- Breville JE98XL -- wrong for greens, and loud. The dual speed is the reason it is here, not the power.
- Omega NC900HDC -- wrong for a shallow counter and wrong if you want whole apples to go in untouched.
- Nama J2 -- wrong for occasional single glasses, and the 15-year headline is 2 years on parts.
- Hamilton Beach Big Mouth -- wrong for celery at any price, and it publishes no RPM at all.
- Breville Citrus Press Pro -- wrong for anything that is not citrus, and wrong for low volume.
Where to go next
If a specific fruit is the whole reason you are shopping, the produce pages are more precise than this one can be: apples, oranges, pineapple, watermelon, pomegranate and grapes. If vegetables will join the fruit eventually, buy for the vegetables -- best juicers is the page that assumes both. And if you are not yet sure a juicer is the right purchase at all, is a juicer worth it answers that honestly, including the case against.
For apples specifically -- the easiest produce in this category, and the one most often searched as a machine rather than a juicer -- see apple juice machines for home. What you cannot put in a juicer covers the soft fruit that defeats everything here.
The picks in full
1. Best fruit juicer overall
Kuvings REVO830
Kuvings REVO830 · $400+ · Our score 7.7/10
The machine that handles the widest range of fruit without a second appliance or a chopping board session. Kuvings states a 3.5 in wide chute -- wide enough for whole apples and big pineapple wedges -- plus a 1.75 in auto-cut chute, and it runs at 50 RPM on 240 W, so soft fruit is crushed rather than flung. Kuvings USA states a 15-year limited warranty, though regional sellers list shorter terms, so read the listing you actually buy from. Honest cons: it is a tall vertical and needs real clearance above the chute to load whole fruit; Kuvings publishes no yield, pulp or cleanup figure; and the noise claim is a description of the motor with no decibel number behind it.

What works
- Two chutes: whole fruit in the wide one, stringy produce in the narrow auto-cut one
- The narrow chute is the one feature aimed squarely at celery clogging
- 15-year warranty on the US listing
What does not
- Warranty length differs by region - check the seller's terms, not the brand page
- No published yield or cleanup-time figure to compare against rivals
- Top of the price range
Skip this if: Counter height is tight - this is a tall vertical machine and it needs clearance above the chute to load whole fruit.

2. Best for hard fruit in volume
Breville Juice Fountain Cold XL
Breville BJE830 · $200–400 · Our score 6.1/10
If the plan is apples, pears and pineapple by the jug, nothing here matches it on throughput. Breville states 1200 W multi-speed, a 3.5 in feed chute -- tied for the widest in this registry -- and a 70 fl oz juice capacity, so a household batch never stops to be emptied. Breville also claims noise-reduction technology cutting mechanical noise by 40 percent, with no decibel figure published, and that claim is relative to other centrifugal machines rather than to a cold press. Honest cons: the name says Cold and the mechanism is centrifugal, so celery and greens are the wrong job; foam is inherent; and the 1-year limited warranty is the shortest on this page by a factor of fifteen.

What does not
- Priced into cold-press territory while keeping centrifugal limitations
- 1-year warranty at a premium price point
- Large footprint
Skip this if: You want quiet, or you want greens. Breville's noise claim is relative to other centrifugals, not to a cold press.

3. Best value for mixed fruit
Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE98XL
Breville JE98XL · $100–200 · Our score 6.3/10
The dual speed is the feature that matters on a fruit-first page, and this is the cheapest machine that has it: Breville states 6,500 RPM low and 12,000 RPM high at 850 W, so soft fruit runs on low instead of being pulverized while apples get the power. It states a 3 in feed tube -- a medium apple is about 3 in across -- and the carafe includes a froth separator, which earns its keep on a fruit this foamy. Honest cons: a 1-year limited warranty; it is loud, as every high-speed machine is; and it is the wrong mechanism for celery or leafy greens at any price.

What works
- 3 in chute takes whole apples, so there is no chopping
- Two speeds, so soft fruit is not pulverized
- Fast enough that a glass takes a couple of minutes end to end
What does not
- Poor at celery and leafy greens by mechanism, not by tuning
- Foam and faster oxidation are inherent to high-speed spinning
- 1-year warranty
Skip this if: Celery or leafy greens are the reason you are buying. A spinning basket rides long fibers instead of crushing them.

4. Best for soft fruit and mixed batches
Omega NC900HDC
Omega NC900HDC · $200–400 · Our score 7.9/10
Soft fruit does not want pressure, and this is the only machine on this site where you can reduce it: Omega states five adjustable end-cap pressure settings and two juicing screens, at 80 RPM and 150 W, with a 15-year limited warranty. Run a coarse screen at low pressure for peaches and berries, then raise it for carrots and apples -- one machine, two jobs. Honest cons: it is 19.22 in wide at 18.7 lb with more parts to wash than any vertical here, the chute is narrow so hard fruit needs chopping, and Omega publishes no yield figure, only a marketed claim.

What works
- Five pressure settings give real control over pulp and extraction
- Handles wheatgrass, which most verticals do poorly
- 15-year warranty on a design that has been iterated for years
What does not
- 19.22 in wide, which is a counter-depth problem in small kitchens
- More parts to wash than any vertical here
- 18.7 lb, so it lives out on the counter whether you like it or not
Skip this if: Your counter is shallow, or cleanup is what will make you quit. It is over 19 in wide and there are more parts to wash than on any vertical here.

5. Best hands-free fruit machine
Nama J2
Nama J2 · $400+ · Our score 8.0/10
Fruit is bulky, and loading a hopper once beats feeding a chute for ten minutes. Nama states a hands-free hopper, 20 to 30 oz of juice per batch depending on ingredients, and 50 RPM from a single-phase induction motor at 200 W. Load the apple and pineapple, walk away, come back to juice. Honest cons: read the warranty structure twice -- Nama states 15 years on the motor but only 2 years on parts, and on an auger machine it is the augers, screens and seals that wear; it is the most expensive machine on this page; and if you juice a single glass occasionally you are paying for a hopper you will not fill.

- Low 50 RPM, which is the slow end of vertical cold press
What does not
- Among the most expensive machines we cover
- Nama publishes no cleanup time and no pulp-dryness figure
- Parts warranty is 2 years, far shorter than the motor's 15
Skip this if: You juice a single glass occasionally — you will pay for a hopper and an auto-feed you never use, and still wash the same number of parts.

6. Best fruit juicer under $100
Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor
Hamilton Beach 67601A · Under $100 · Our score 6.7/10
Fruit is the one produce category where a budget centrifugal machine is a rational purchase rather than a compromise -- apples, pears and oranges are exactly what a spinning basket is good at. Hamilton Beach states an 800 W motor, a 3 in Big Mouth feed chute that takes whole apples, that the food pusher, cover, strainer, pulp bin and strainer bowl are dishwasher safe, and a 3-year limited warranty that quietly triples Breville's at a fraction of the price. Honest cons: no RPM published, so it cannot be compared on speed; it is loud; the pulp comes out wet; and celery is the wrong job for it.

7. Best for citrus fruit
Breville Citrus Press Pro 800CPXL
Breville 800CPXL · $200–400 · Our score 8.2/10
Citrus is fruit, and it is the one kind that a whole-fruit juicer handles badly -- the pith and peel are bitter and the rind is most of the bulk. A press works from the cut face inward instead. Breville states a die-cast stainless lever arm, adjustable pulp control, 110 W, and that the cone, juice collector, filter and fruit dome are dishwasher safe -- four parts, all of them. The powered lever means no hand strength at all. Honest cons: it does citrus and nothing else; it is a 10.6 lb counter fixture; the warranty is 1 year; and for two lemons a week it is a decoration rather than a purchase.

What works
- The powered lever does the work, so no hand strength is needed
- Adjustable pulp control, which most citrus juicers lack
- Four parts, all dishwasher safe
What does not
- Expensive and heavy for a single-purpose tool
- 1-year warranty
- Citrus only - it will not touch a stalk of celery
Skip this if: You juice two lemons a week. A 10.6 lb die-cast press is absurd for that, and a hand squeezer is not.
