The Best Juicers for Berries

Berries are the hardest produce on this site to juice well, and the first thing to know is that the right answer is often to mix them with something else.

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 berries the machine we would buy is the Omega NC900HDC -- it is the only juicer on this site with five adjustable pressure settings and two screens, which is the published feature that actually addresses soft fruit. But the more useful answer comes first: berries are a poor standalone juice and a very good mixed-juice ingredient. They are low-yield, their skins and seeds blind a fine screen, and a cup of blueberries produces a shot rather than a glass. Mix them into an apple, pear or cucumber base and every machine below does better.

Why berries are hard on a juicer

Three mechanical reasons, and they apply to cold press and centrifugal machines alike:

  1. 1.The skins and seeds blind the screen. Berry solids are small, soft and numerous, so instead of being carried away as pulp they pack into the mesh and stop juice passing. That is why yield falls off during a berry session rather than being low from the start, and why a reverse function matters more here than on any other produce.
  2. 2.The yield is genuinely low per volume. A berry is mostly structure and seed by volume compared with an apple or a cucumber. Nobody publishes a yield figure for any produce in this category, so we will not give you a number -- but the direction is not in dispute, and it is the single biggest surprise for people juicing berries for the first time.
  3. 3.Soft fruit does not want pressure. Hard produce needs back pressure to extract. Berries crush instantly, and pressing them harder produces purée rather than juice. This is exactly what Omega's adjustable end-cap settings control, and why it leads this page.
BerryHow it behaves in a juicerBetter approach
StrawberriesHighest yield of the common berries; hull firstJuices acceptably on its own in an auger machine
Raspberries / blackberriesSeeds are numerous and hard; pulp packs the screenMix into an apple or pear base
BlueberriesTough skins, low yield, the worst screen-blinder hereMix, and expect to rinse the screen mid-session
CranberriesVery firm and very low yieldMix, and use the coarser screen if you have one
Behaviour descriptions are mechanical observations about how the produce interacts with a screen, not published measurements -- nobody publishes per-fruit yield in this category.

The honest alternative: do not juice them alone

The best berry juice most people make is roughly three parts apple, pear or cucumber to one part berries, and it is better for a reason that has nothing to do with taste: the hard or watery base carries the berry solids through the machine instead of letting them pack the screen. You get more juice, a cleaner machine and a glass rather than a shot.

The other honest alternative is a blender, and we are not going to pretend otherwise on a juicer site. If what you want is a thick berry drink with the fiber in it, a blender is the correct appliance and a juicer is the wrong one -- juicer vs blender sets out which tool suits which outcome without pretending one replaces the other.

Four of the five picks on the same four criteria. The blank cells are what this category actually publishes. Scroll the table sideways on a narrow screen. Every figure above is labeled with where it came from; “Not available” means we could not find a published source, not that the machine performs badly. How we pick.

Two features that matter specifically here

Most juicer specifications do not predict anything about berries. Two do:

  • A reverse function. Nutribullet and AMZCHEF both state one. It reverses the auger to back a packed screen out, which on berries is the difference between finishing a session and stripping the machine halfway through. On this produce it is worth more than wattage.
  • A choice of screen or pressure. Omega states two juicing screens and five pressure settings; Ninja states two pulp filters. Those are the only published adjustments on this site, and soft fruit is where an adjustment is most useful. Everything else here gives you one screen and one texture.
A horizontal masticating juicer with produce beside it
Adjustable back pressure is the one published feature that addresses soft fruit directly, and only one machine on this site has it.

Staining, and the wash-up you should not postpone

Berry juice stains plastic faster than anything else you will put through a juicer, and the window is short -- an hour in the sink is enough to tint a white screen housing permanently. Rinse immediately, and if a part has already discolored, our how to clean a juicer guide covers what actually works on set-in stains and what is folklore. Dishwasher-safe parts are a genuine advantage on this fruit, which is part of why the Ninja and the Breville are on this page.

What each of these is wrong for

  • Omega NC900HDC -- wrong for a shallow counter, and it has the highest part count on this site.
  • Ninja NeverClog JC151 -- wrong if a long warranty is the reason you are buying. One year in the US.
  • Breville JE98XL -- wrong for celery and greens, and it foams.
  • Nutribullet Slow Juicer -- wrong if you juice for more than one person. The 24 oz cup forces breaks.
  • AMZCHEF ZM1501 -- wrong if you expect premium build or a warranty you can pin down before buying.

Where to go next

If the berries are going into an apple base, best juicers for apples is the page for the base fruit, and best juicers for cucumbers covers the watery alternative. If the screen keeps packing whatever you do, juicer clogging fixes is the troubleshooting page. And if you are starting to suspect that what you actually want is a smoothie rather than a juice, juice vs smoothie answers that honestly.

Grapes share the screen-blinding problem with berries and add one of their own: the seeds are bitter when crushed, which makes back pressure the criterion rather than clearing. Best juicers for grapes covers seeded Concord and muscadine specifically.

The picks in full

1. Best for berries overall

Omega NC900HDC

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

The only machine here with a published feature aimed directly at the problem: Omega states five adjustable end-cap pressure settings and two juicing screens, at 80 RPM and 150 W, with a 15-year limited warranty. Soft fruit needs less back pressure than carrots, and this is the one machine on this site where you can actually reduce it instead of hoping. Two screens means you can run a coarser one when berry skins and seeds would blind a fine one. The trade is washing up: it is 19.22 in wide with more parts to wash than any vertical here, and on berries you will be rinsing the screen mid-session. Skip it if cleanup is what will make you quit.

2. Best pulp control for berry juice

Ninja NeverClog JC151

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

Berry juice is a pulp decision more than a yield decision, and Ninja is the only brand here to give you a mechanical choice about it: two pulp filters, one for less pulp and one for more. With soft fruit the more-pulp filter is often the better call, because trying to strain berry solids out through a fine screen is how you blind the screen. Ninja states 150 W and that the removable parts are dishwasher safe, which matters a great deal with staining fruit. It publishes no RPM, and the US warranty is 1 year. Skip it if a long warranty is the point of the purchase.

3. Best for berries mixed with hard fruit

Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE98XL

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

If the berries are going into an apple or pear base -- which is how most berry juice is actually made -- a dual-speed centrifugal machine handles both ends in one pass. Breville states 6,500 RPM low and 12,000 RPM high at 850 W, and the low speed exists for exactly this: soft fruit pulverized on high comes out as sludge. It also states a 3 in feed tube and a froth separator in the carafe. The limits are the mechanism's own -- foam, faster separation -- plus a 1-year limited warranty. Skip it if celery and greens are also on the list.

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 cheap machine with a reverse function

Nutribullet Slow Juicer

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

Berries blind a screen faster than any other produce, so the feature that matters most at this price is the one that clears it: Nutribullet states 65 RPM, 150 W and a reverse function, which is how you back a packed screen out instead of stopping to strip the machine. The footprint is small at 17 in tall and 6.25 in wide and the warranty is 1 year limited. The 24 oz catch cup is the honest constraint, and with low-yield fruit like berries you will not fill it quickly. Skip it if you juice for more than one person.

5. Best under $100 for soft fruit

AMZCHEF ZM1501

AMZCHEF ZM1501 · Under $100 · Our score 7.1/10

The cheapest sensible way to find out whether berry juicing is something you will keep doing. AMZCHEF states 90 RPM, 150 W, a reverse function and operation below 60 decibels -- the only decibel figure any brand publishes on this site. The reverse function is the specification that earns its place on this page. The trade is paperwork and prep: warranty terms differ between the brand store and third-party listings, so read the one you buy from, and the chute is small, which with berries matters less than it does with apples. Skip it if you expect premium build.

Questions people ask

What is the best juicer for berries?
The Omega NC900HDC, because it is the only machine on this site that lets you reduce the back pressure soft fruit does not want -- Omega states five adjustable end-cap settings and two juicing screens at 80 RPM. If the budget is lower, Nutribullet's Slow Juicer and the AMZCHEF ZM1501 both state a reverse function, which is the feature that clears a berry-packed screen.
Can you put berries in a juicer?
Yes, but they are the hardest common produce to juice well. Berry skins and seeds pack into the screen rather than being carried away as pulp, so yield falls off during a session, and the yield per cup is low to begin with. The practical fix is to mix them -- roughly three parts apple, pear or cucumber to one part berries -- so the base carries the berry solids through the machine.
Can you juice blueberries?
You can, and of the common berries they are the most difficult. The skins are tough, the yield is low, and they blind a fine screen faster than anything else on this list. Expect to rinse the screen mid-session, use a coarser screen if your machine has one, and mix them into an apple or pear base rather than juicing them alone.
Is a masticating or centrifugal juicer better for berries?
A masticating machine, in most cases, because it crushes slowly instead of flinging soft fruit against a fast-spinning screen -- and the two machines with adjustable screens or filters here are both augers. The exception is berries mixed into a hard-fruit base, where a dual-speed centrifugal machine like Breville's JE98XL handles both in one pass; Breville states a 6,500 RPM low speed that exists for exactly this.
How do you stop berry juice staining a juicer?
Rinse immediately -- berry juice tints plastic within about an hour in the sink, and once set it may not come out. Dishwasher-safe parts help, and Ninja states its removable parts are dishwasher safe while Hamilton Beach lists five parts as dishwasher safe on its Big Mouth. Our how to clean a juicer guide covers what works on stains that have already set.
Why does this page not show prices?
There is no live price data on this site, so every buy button reads "Check price on Amazon" and takes you to the current listing. Price bands appear instead: under $100, $100-200, $200-400 and $400+. A remembered price is a wrong price within a week.
