The Best Juicers for Beets

Beetroot is the hardest thing most people put through a juicer that is not a specialist ingredient. It is dense, heavy, and it demands either real torque from an auger or real speed from a disc. It is also the produce most likely to make a cheap machine labor audibly and then stop.

What beets demand

• Power or torque. Dash's 130 W and BLACK+DECKER's 400 W are both marginal for a daily beet habit. From 800 W up on a centrifugal machine, or any proper cold press auger, is fine.
• Chopping. A whole beet does not fit any chute in our registry. Quarters at minimum, smaller for a narrow cold press chute.
• Pulp capacity. Beets produce a lot of pulp by volume. Check the bin before you commit to juicing them regularly.
• Tolerance for staining. Beet juice is a dye. It will color plastic, worktops, chopping boards and hands. Rinse immediately.

Both mechanisms work, which changes the question

Like carrots, beets are dense cell water rather than long structural fiber, so a spinning disc gets at the liquid properly and a slow auger does too. That means the mechanism argument that dominates celery and greens does not apply, and you should be shopping on speed, prep and cleanup instead.

The practical differences: a cold press machine produces drier pulp and less foam; a centrifugal machine produces juice in a quarter of the time. For beets specifically there is one more factor worth weighing -- a centrifugal machine's extra speed makes the staining problem slightly worse, because more surfaces get a fine spray of juice.

Prep and the staining

Scrub and trim; peeling is optional and mostly a taste decision about how earthy you want the result. Cut to quarters or smaller depending on your chute. Beet greens are juiceable and behave like chard -- see juicers for leafy greens if you want to use them.

On the staining: use a plastic board rather than wood, wipe the worktop immediately, and rinse the machine parts before you drink the juice. Beet is not quite as permanent as turmeric but it is close. A dedicated beet board is a reasonable investment if you juice them often.

On the earthy flavor

Beet juice tastes like soil to a lot of people, and that is a genuine chemical property of the vegetable rather than a sign of poor extraction. The standard fixes are apple for sweetness, lemon for acidity, and ginger for heat -- all three mask the earthiness and all three are easy to feed alongside beet. Peeling helps a little too.

The combination of beets, carrots, apple and ginger is popular for exactly this reason, and it also happens to be a mechanically easy mix: all four are dense produce that both mechanisms handle. See juicers for carrots.

The picks in full

1. Best for beets overall

Omega NC900HDC

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

Beets produce a lot of pulp and reward being squeezed hard, which is exactly what Omega's five adjustable end-cap pressure settings let you do. The horizontal auger has the torque for dense root and the two screens let you tune for it. 80 RPM, 15-year limited warranty. 19.22 in wide and 18.7 lb. Full review.

Yield

Omega markets high juice yield and five pressure settings; no numeric yield figure is publishedManufacturer claim: Omega Juicers · checked 2026-10-02

Cleanup time

Speed

Omega states 80 RPM and 150 W outputManufacturer claim: Omega Juicers · checked 2026-10-02

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.

2. Most power under $100

Mueller Austria Juicer Ultra

Mueller Ultra 1100 W · Under $100 · Our score 6.2/10

Beets are where a cheap motor shows its limits, and Mueller states 1100 W with dual speeds to 18,000 RPM and a 3 in chute -- the most power in the budget band by a clear margin, with a 2-year warranty. It will not stall on a beet. It is also the loudest machine in our registry and it foams.

Mueller states dual speed: 12,000-15,000 RPM low and 15,000-18,000 RPM high, 1100 WManufacturer claim: Mueller · checked 2026-10-02

What works

• Most power under $100
• Dual speed for soft and hard produce
• 2-year warranty at a budget price

What does not

• Up to 18,000 RPM, which is the loudest and most oxidizing setup here
• Centrifugal mechanics, so it is the wrong tool for celery and greens
• No published yield or cleanup data

Skip this if: Noise matters at all. 18,000 RPM on the high setting is the fastest figure in this registry.

3. Fastest for beets

Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE98XL

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

Beets are dense and watery rather than long-fibred, so a centrifugal machine competes properly here. Breville states 850 W, dual speeds at 6,500 and 12,000 RPM and a 3 in feed tube, which takes a quartered beet with minimal prep. Expect staining and foam. Full review.

Speed

Breville states dual speed: 6,500 RPM low and 12,000 RPM high, 850 WManufacturer claim: Breville · checked 2026-10-02

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 value cold press

Omega J8006HDS

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

The same horizontal 80 RPM mechanism and 15-year warranty as the NC900HDC for less. You lose the pressure adjustment, which matters somewhat with beets, but the torque and the auger are the same. Triple-stage auger per Omega.

What works

• 15-year warranty at a mid-range price
• A horizontal auger handles stringy celery and greens well
• 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.
