Juicers That Keep the Pulp

No juicer keeps all the pulp -- removing it is the definition of juicing. But three machines here let you choose how much comes through, and that is the real answer.

By Brijon M. · Last reviewed October 10, 2026

No juicer keeps all the pulp, because separating pulp from juice is what a juicer is for. What three machines on this site do offer is a published choice about how much gets through: Ninja states two swappable pulp filters, Omega states two screens plus five pressure settings, and the two citrus electrics state adjustable pulp control. If what you want is the whole fruit with the fiber intact, the honest answer is a blender -- and this page says so rather than selling you a juicer that cannot do it.

Why there is no such thing as a full-pulp juicer

Every juicer in this category works by forcing produce against a screen. Liquid passes through the apertures; solids do not and are ejected as pulp. That is the mechanism, and it means the maximum pulp any juicer can deliver is whatever is small enough to pass the screen -- fine sediment and a little suspended fiber, not the pulp in the bin.

So the real question behind this search is not "which juicer keeps the pulp" but "how much can I get through, and can I control it". There are four honest answers, and only two of them involve buying a juicer.

The four ways to get more pulp in the glass

  1. 1.Buy a machine with a published pulp choice. Three on this site: the Ninja's two filters, Omega's two screens and five pressure settings, and the citrus electrics' pulp settings. These are stated features rather than inferences, which on this site matters.
  2. 2.Run a coarser screen if your machine has one. Omega is the only whole-produce brand here that ships two. Where a machine has one screen, the screen is the ceiling.
  3. 3.Stir pulp back in. The least elegant and most effective option: spoon a tablespoon or two of the pulp from the bin into the glass and stir. It is also free, works on any machine, and gets you closer to a full-fiber drink than any setting will.
  4. 4.Use a blender instead. If the fiber is the point, a blender keeps 100 percent of it, which no juicer can. Juice vs smoothie is the honest comparison, and juicer vs blender covers the appliance decision.

For the opposite preference, best pulp-free juicers ranks the machines that take the most fiber out -- and do juicers remove fiber explains where that fiber physically goes.

The picks in full

1. Most pulp control for the money

Ninja NeverClog JC151

Ninja JC151 · $100–200 · Our score 7.9/10

The only cold press machine on this site that gives you a mechanical choice rather than a setting: Ninja states two pulp filters, one for less pulp and one for more. You swap the part, so the difference is real rather than a dial that nudges it. Ninja also states 150 W and that the removable parts are dishwasher safe, which matters because the more-pulp filter needs more rinsing. Two honest gaps: Ninja publishes no RPM at all, and the warranty is 1 year in the US. Skip it if a long warranty is the point of the purchase.

  • Genuine pulp choice: two filters, not a marketing claim

  • Widely stocked at the big retailers, so it is easy to find and easy to return

What does not

  • 1-year US warranty
  • Ninja publishes no RPM, so it cannot be compared on speed
  • 24-30 oz jug means emptying on bigger batches

Skip this if: You want a long warranty. Ninja covers this for one year in the US, against 15 on the premium verticals.

2. Most adjustment of any machine here

Omega NC900HDC

Omega NC900HDC · $200–400 · Our score 7.9/10

Omega states five adjustable end-cap pressure settings and two juicing screens, at 80 RPM and 150 W, with a 15-year limited warranty -- which together is the widest published adjustment range on this site. Lower the pressure and run the coarser screen and more solids come through; raise it and the juice runs clearer. It is the closest thing in this category to a pulp dial that actually does something. The trade is physical: 19.22 in wide, 18.7 lb, and more parts to wash than any vertical here. Skip it if counter depth is tight.

3. Best pulp control for citrus

Cuisinart Pulp Control Citrus Juicer

Cuisinart CCJ-500 · Under $100 · Our score 8.3/10

Citrus is where keeping pulp is most often the point, and this is the cheapest machine that does it properly: Cuisinart states three pulp control settings -- low, medium and high -- plus an auto-reversing cone that handles small limes through large grapefruit, and a limited 3-year warranty. Three discrete settings on an orange juice is a genuinely different drink at each end. Two published caveats: the working capacity is 8 oz so you pour off as you go, and Cuisinart publishes no wattage or RPM at all for this model.

4. Cheapest adjustable pulp control

BLACK+DECKER Citrus Juicer

BLACK+DECKER CJ625 · Under $100 · Our score 8.0/10

BLACK+DECKER states adjustable pulp control and dual auto-reversing cones for different fruit sizes, plus a 32 oz pitcher -- four times the Cuisinart's working capacity -- dishwasher-safe parts and a 2-year limited warranty. For a household that wants pulpy orange juice in jug quantities rather than by the glass, it is the most capacity-per-dollar here. The honest reason it is not the top citrus pick: published wattage for this model differs wildly between listings and BLACK+DECKER does not resolve it.

Centrifugal juice looks pulpier -- but is not

Juice from a centrifugal machine often appears to carry more solids, and it is worth understanding why, because it is mostly an illusion. High-speed spinning whips air into the juice and produces a thick head of foam, and foam reads as body. The juice underneath is typically cloudier than cold press juice but not meaningfully more fibrous -- the screen aperture is still what decides that.

Breville states a froth separator in the JE98XL carafe for exactly this reason. Juicer foam and oxidation explains what the foam is and why it matters less than it looks like it should, and juicer pulp explained covers the same ground from the opposite direction -- the people searching for the least pulp possible.

The pulp in the bin is the useful one to look at -- not because of how much there is, but because of how wet it is.

Do not throw the rest of it away

If the reason you want pulp in the glass is that discarding it feels wasteful, that is a reasonable instinct and there is a better outlet for it than a coarser screen. Juicer pulp goes into muffins, crackers, stock, fritters, dog treats and compost, and a full bin is a cup or more of usable material. What to do with juicer pulp has the full list.

Where to go next

If the question is really about the opposite -- the clearest possible juice -- juicer pulp explained is the page for that. If you have decided the fiber matters more than the clarity, juice vs smoothie will save you a purchase. And if you are choosing a first machine and pulp texture is one of your criteria, how to choose your first juicer puts it in context with the others.

Questions people ask

Are there juicers that keep the pulp?
Not fully -- separating pulp from juice is what a juicer does, so the most any machine can deliver is whatever passes the screen. What you can buy is control: Ninja states two swappable pulp filters on the NeverClog JC151, Omega states two screens plus five pressure settings on the NC900HDC, and the citrus electrics from Cuisinart and BLACK+DECKER state adjustable pulp settings.
Which juicer leaves the most pulp in the juice?
Of the machines on this site, the Ninja NeverClog JC151 run on its more-pulp filter, or Omega's NC900HDC with the coarser screen and reduced end-cap pressure. For citrus, Cuisinart's CCJ-500 on its high pulp setting. Those are the only published adjustments in this registry -- every other machine here has one screen and one texture.
Can you add pulp back into juice?
Yes, and it is the most effective option on this page. Spoon a tablespoon or two from the pulp bin into the glass and stir. It works on any machine, costs nothing, and gets you closer to a full-fiber drink than any filter setting will. The texture is coarser than a blended drink, so stir it in gradually and taste.
Is pulp in juice good or bad?
Neither, as far as judging a machine goes -- pulp in the glass only tells you the aperture of the screen you ran. The pulp observation that actually matters is dryness in the bin: wet pulp means juice was left behind. On the nutritional side we have nothing to tell you, and that is a question for a registered dietitian rather than a juicer site.
Why does my centrifugal juicer make pulpier juice?
Mostly it does not -- it makes foamier juice, and foam reads as body. High-speed spinning whips air into the liquid and produces a thick head, while the actual fiber content is still set by the screen aperture. Breville states a froth separator in the JE98XL carafe for exactly this reason.
Should I buy a blender instead if I want the fiber?
If the fiber is the point, yes. A blender keeps all of it, which no juicer can do by design. The trade is that blended celery and leafy stems stay stringy in a way no amount of blending fixes, so a blender is the right answer for soft fruit and the wrong one for green juice. Our juice vs smoothie page sets out which drink suits which produce.
