The Best Juicers for Cucumber

Cucumber is one of the easiest things to juice and one of the most useful. It is almost entirely water in a soft structure, so every mechanism extracts it readily and yields generously -- and it is the best plunger in green juicing, which is arguably its more important role.

Cucumber as a plunger

This is the practical reason cucumber appears in almost every green juice recipe, and it is not about flavor. A length of cucumber fed after a bundle of kale or a handful of celery pushes the accumulated fiber through the auger and clears the screen as it goes.

It works better than apple for this because it is firm enough to push but wet enough to carry fiber along with it, and it adds volume without adding much sugar. If your green juice is clogging, adding cucumber between the difficult items is the first thing to try -- see juicer clogging fixes.

Why no machine struggles with it

Cucumber has very high water content and a soft structure with no long fiber to ride a basket and no density to resist an auger. Both mechanisms get at the liquid easily, and yield is generous relative to the volume of produce.

The only thing worth optimizing for is foam. A fast centrifugal machine will aerate a cucumber considerably, because there is nothing for the speed to work against. Use a low setting, or a slow juicer, and you get a cleaner result.

Peel or not?

A taste decision. The skin is where most of the bitterness lives, particularly on large waxed supermarket cucumbers, and it makes the juice greener and more vegetal. Small thin-skinned varieties are generally fine unpeeled.

If you are buying waxed cucumbers, peel them -- the wax is not something you want in a juice, and it does not wash off properly. Unwaxed or home-grown, a scrub is enough.

Technique

• Cut to length for your chute. Cucumbers are long, so diameter matters less than you would expect.
• Use a low speed on a centrifugal machine. There is nothing to cut through, so high speed only adds foam.
• Keep it as your plunger -- save a couple of lengths to feed last, after your greens, to push the remaining fiber through.
• Seeds are fine. Large seedy cucumbers produce slightly more watery juice; it makes no difference to the machine.
• Drink it soon. Cucumber juice separates quickly. Stirring fixes it.

Is it worth juicing on its own?

It is extremely mild, so most people use it as a base rather than drinking it neat -- with lemon, celery, greens, ginger or apple. As a base it is the most useful ingredient in green juicing because it contributes volume and liquid without dominating anything.

If you want cucumber alone and own a blender, blending and straining works nearly as well for a single glass, since you are not removing much fiber. Juicer vs blender covers when each makes sense.

The picks in full

1. Best for cucumber overall

Kuvings REVO830

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

Cucumbers are long rather than wide, and Kuvings' 1.75 in auto-cut chute -- specified for celery and carrots -- handles that shape without pre-cutting, while the 3.5 in wide chute takes everything else. 50 RPM is slow enough that a watery vegetable does not foam. 240 W, 15-year US warranty. Full review.

Speed

Kuvings states 50 RPM, 240 WManufacturer claim: Kuvings USA · checked 2026-10-02

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. Gentlest for cucumber

Omega VSJ843

Omega VSJ843 · $400+ · Our score 8.0/10

43 RPM, the slowest machine we cover. Cucumber is close to being liquid already, so the gentlest handling available gives the least foam and the cleanest result. Omega states a dual-edge auger, 150 W, a juice tap and a 15-year limited warranty. Narrow feed opening, so cucumbers get cut to length.

Speed

Omega states 43 RPM, dual-edge single auger, 150 WManufacturer claim: Omega Juicers · checked 2026-10-02

What works

• Slowest published speed here at 43 RPM
• Juice tap lets you mix in the bowl and stops the drip
• 15-year limited warranty

What does not

• Narrow feed opening - prep is unavoidable
• Slow by design, so throughput is low
• No published yield, pulp or cleanup figure

Skip this if: You want speed in the morning. 43 RPM is deliberate and it feels deliberate when you are late for work.

3. Best budget option

Nutribullet Slow Juicer

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

65 RPM and 150 W per Nutribullet handle a watery vegetable without difficulty, which is why there is no reason to spend more if cucumber is a large part of your mix. Small footprint, reverse function, lowest price of any real cold press machine. The 24 oz cup fills quickly with cucumber, which yields generously.

What works

• Cold press mechanics at a centrifugal-adjacent price
• Reverse function, which is how you clear a celery jam
• Small footprint at 17 in tall and 6.25 in wide

What does not

• 1-year warranty against 15 years on the premium verticals
• 24 oz catch cup forces breaks on bigger batches
• No published yield, pulp or cleanup figures

Skip this if: You juice for more than one person. A 24 oz container means stopping and emptying mid-session.

4. Fastest for cucumber

Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE98XL

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

Breville's 3 in feed tube takes cucumber with minimal cutting and the 850 W dual-speed motor gets through volume quickly. Use the low speed -- 12,000 RPM on a cucumber is purely aeration. The froth separator in the carafe is useful here. 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.
