The Best Juicer Machines

The juicer machine we would buy is the Kuvings REVO830 -- a 3.5 in chute for whole apples, a 1.75 in auto-cut chute for celery, 50 RPM, and a 15-year limited warranty from Kuvings USA. But the more useful thing to know before you shop is that "juicer machine" is four different machines, and they are not a quality ladder. A centrifugal machine, a vertical auger, a horizontal auger and a citrus press do different jobs, and the commonest expensive mistake in this category is buying the wrong mechanism well rather than the right mechanism cheaply.

The four mechanisms, and which produce each one suits

Everything sold as a juicer machine works one of four ways. Find the row that matches what you plan to put in it, and the shortlist collapses from forty models to four.

The dividing line that matters most runs between the spinning machines and the crushing machines, and it is about fiber. A flat blade spinning at 12,000 RPM, as Breville states for the JE98XL on high, rides along a long celery fiber instead of rupturing it; an auger turning at 50 RPM, as Kuvings and Nama both state, crushes it. That is why this site keeps steering celery and kale buyers toward augers -- not because slow is virtuous, but because the fiber is long. Masticating vs centrifugal takes that apart properly.

What "best" means on this page

Auger & Pulp judges juicer machines on four things a first-time buyer actually feels -- yield, pulp, cleanup and price -- weighted so that cleanup and pulp carry as much as extraction does. That weighting exists because of how juicing habits end. Almost nobody stops juicing because the yield disappointed them. They stop because there were seven wet parts on the draining board at 7:40 in the morning.

So the specs we pay most attention to are the unglamorous ones: how wide the chute is, how many parts come off, whether they go in a dishwasher, and how long the warranty runs. Hamilton Beach states five dishwasher-safe parts and a 3-year limited warranty on a sub-$100 machine; Breville states 1 year on machines costing two to three times as much. That is a real difference, and it is published -- unlike almost everything else in this category.

Wattage and RPM: what the numbers on the box mean

Two numbers dominate juicer machine listings, and both are routinely misread. Wattage is rated power consumption, not extraction power: Breville states 1200 W for the Juice Fountain Cold XL and Omega states 150 W for the NC900HDC, and the Omega will out-extract the Breville on kale all day. A high-speed basket needs a lot of power to spin fast; an auger needs torque, which a gearbox supplies at low wattage.

RPM is the more honest number, because it tells you which mechanism you are looking at. Anything stated in the thousands is centrifugal; anything stated between 40 and 110 is an auger. Omega states 43 RPM on the VSJ843, Kuvings and Nama 50 RPM, Omega 80 RPM on both horizontals, Hurom 90 RPM, Tribest 110 RPM on the Greenstar Pro. Within that band the differences are small and nobody has published a yield test that separates them. The longer versions are how many watts a juicer should have and juicer RPM explained.

How much to spend on a juicer machine

This site publishes price bands rather than figures, because a remembered price is a wrong price within a week. The bands that matter for a first machine are under $100 and $100-200, and the honest advice is that the under-$100 centrifugal machines are a legitimate purchase rather than a trap -- if hard produce is the plan. Hamilton Beach's Big Mouth takes whole apples and carries a longer warranty than Breville's premium centrifugal does.

The case for spending more starts the moment celery, kale or a daily habit enters the picture, because that is where the mechanism changes rather than the quality. Are expensive juicers worth it works through the money, why cold press juicers are so expensive explains what the extra actually buys, and best juicers under $200 is the shortlist if that is the ceiling.

Which machine for which buyer

• You want one machine for mixed produce and will keep it on the counter. Kuvings REVO830, or the Nutribullet Slow Juicer at a third of the money.
• Celery or green juice is the whole point. A horizontal auger. Omega J8006HDS, and see best juicers for vegetables.
• Apples, carrots and oranges, fast, on a budget. A centrifugal machine. Hamilton Beach Big Mouth or Breville JE98XL, and see best fruit juicers.
• Oranges and lemons specifically. A press, not a juicer machine at all. Breville 800CPXL, and see best citrus juicers.
• Two or more people drinking juice daily. Batch capacity becomes the deciding spec -- see best juicers for two people.
• You are not sure the habit will stick. Spend under $100 and find out. Juicing on a budget is written for exactly that.

The picks in full

1. Best juicer machine overall

Kuvings REVO830

Kuvings REVO830 · $400+ · Our score 7.7/10

The machine that asks the least of you day to day. Kuvings states a 3.5 in wide chute plus a 1.75 in auto-cut chute for celery and carrots, running at 50 RPM on 240 W -- so whole apples go in without a chopping board, and celery goes down the narrow slot where a wide chute would let it fold. Kuvings USA states a 15-year limited warranty, though regional sellers list shorter terms. Honest cons: it is a tall vertical that needs clearance above the chute to load whole fruit; Kuvings publishes no yield, pulp or cleanup figure; the noise claim is a description of the motor with no decibel number attached; and it sits in the $400+ band.

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 masticating machine

Omega J8006HDS

Omega J8006HDS · $200–400 · Our score 7.9/10

The horizontal auger is the machine type that handles celery and greens best, and this is the one we would buy. Omega states 80 RPM, 200 W and a triple-stage auger, with a 15-year limited warranty -- fifteen times Breville's and Ninja's. It runs continuously rather than in batches, so there is no capacity ceiling to hit mid-session. Honest cons: the chute is narrow, so hard produce gets chopped first; a horizontal leaves more parts on the draining board than a vertical; Omega markets high juice yield but publishes no numeric figure; and it is not the machine for a household that wants speed.

• Doubles as a nut-butter, pasta and sorbet extruder

What does not

• Narrow chute means constant prep chopping
• Takes significant counter depth
• Omega publishes no yield or cleanup figure to compare

Skip this if: You juice mostly whole apples and oranges. You will spend your life chopping to fit a narrow horizontal chute.

3. Best fast machine

Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE98XL

Breville JE98XL · $100–200 · Our score 6.3/10

If a juicer machine has to produce a glass in under two minutes on a weekday, this is the mechanism and this is the price. Breville states dual speed -- 6,500 RPM low and 12,000 RPM high -- on 850 W, a 3 in feed tube that takes a medium apple whole, and a carafe with a froth separator, which earns its keep on fruit. Honest cons: a 1-year limited warranty; it is loud, as every high-speed machine is; the pulp comes out wet; and celery and kale are the wrong job for a spinning basket 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 cold press machine under $200

Nutribullet Slow Juicer

Nutribullet NBJ50300 · $100–200 · Our score 7.4/10

The cheapest route into real auger mechanics rather than a spinning basket. Nutribullet states 65 RPM, 150 W and a reverse function, which is how you clear a celery jam without dismantling anything, in a body 17 in tall and 6.25 in wide. Honest cons: the 1-year limited warranty against fifteen years on the premium verticals; a 24 oz catch cup that forces a break on bigger batches; and no published yield, pulp or cleanup figure.

5. Best juicer machine under $100

Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor

Hamilton Beach 67601A · Under $100 · Our score 6.7/10

The honest answer for somebody who is not yet sure they will juice at all. Hamilton Beach states an 800 W motor, a 3 in Big Mouth feed chute, 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.

6. Best machine for people who hate washing up

Hurom H400 Easy Clean

Hurom H400 · $400+ · Our score 8.0/10

Most juicer machines die in a cupboard because of the strainer, not the juicing. Hurom markets this one as Scrub-Free Cleaning and claims the least pulp of any Easy Clean model, running at 90 RPM on 150 W, with a 15-year warranty on motor and parts. Honest cons: Hurom publishes no cleanup time in minutes and no comparable pulp figure, so both claims are marketing rather than measurement; the 45 mm (1.8 in) chute is narrow for a premium vertical, so apples get quartered; and it is a $400+ machine.

• 15 years on motor AND parts, which is rare
• Lighter than most verticals at 14.8 lb, so storing it away is realistic

What does not

• 1.8 in chute means real prep chopping
• The yield and pulp claims are Hurom's own and unverified by any test we could find
• 90 RPM is the fast end of slow juicing

Skip this if: You juice a lot of wheatgrass or very fibrous greens - the wide-gap Easy Clean design trades some fine-strainer extraction for speed at the sink.

7. Best citrus machine

Breville Citrus Press Pro 800CPXL

Breville 800CPXL · $200–400 · Our score 8.2/10

Citrus is the one produce a whole-fruit juicer handles badly -- rind and pith are bitter and the rind is most of the bulk -- so the fourth mechanism is a press that works from the cut face inward. Breville states a die-cast stainless powered 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. 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.

• 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.
