The Best Juicers for Watermelon

Watermelon flesh is the easiest thing you will ever put through a juicer. It is almost entirely water held in a soft matrix, so any machine extracts it readily -- which means the only specifications that matter are capacity and how much foam you are willing to tolerate.

Why capacity is the real criterion

A medium watermelon produces a lot of juice. Breville's BJE830 holds 70 fl oz, its JE98XL carafe holds 34½ fl oz, Ninja's jug is 24-30 oz, and Nutribullet's cup is 24 oz. With watermelon those differences translate directly into how many times you stop and pour.

Power is irrelevant. There is nothing in watermelon flesh that requires 1200 W, and a high-speed basket mostly just aerates it. If your machine has a low speed setting, this is the produce to use it on.

The rind question

Watermelon rind is a completely different material from the flesh: firm, fibrous and pale. It is juiceable, and it is one of the most commonly searched watermelon juicing questions.

If you want to juice it, you need an auger. The rind has structure that a centrifugal basket will not crush -- it is closer to celery than to the flesh in how it behaves. Cut it into pieces that fit your chute, feed it slowly, and expect a noticeably different, grassier flavor than the flesh.

The green outer skin is a separate matter again. It is tough and it carries whatever was on the outside of the melon, so wash it thoroughly if you are including any of it, and most people trim it off.

Technique

• Use the low speed if you have one. Watermelon needs no power and high speed only adds foam.
• Cut to fit, and keep flesh and rind separate if you are juicing both -- they want different feeding speeds.
• Seeds are fine. They end up in the pulp. Seedless varieties make no difference to the machine.
• Chill the melon first. Cold juice from a warm melon is a disappointment, and chilling also slightly reduces foaming.
• Clean immediately. Watermelon is sugary, and sugary residue dries sticky and attracts attention you do not want.

Should you juice it at all?

An honest question for this one produce. Watermelon is so close to being liquid already that blending and straining gets you most of the way there with a machine most people already own -- and for a single glass that may be the more sensible route than assembling and washing a juicer.

Where a juicer genuinely wins is volume and clarity: a clean, clear, pulp-free juice in quantity, which blending and straining does not achieve comfortably. Juicer vs blender covers the trade in full.

The picks in full

1. Best for watermelon overall

Breville Juice Fountain Cold XL

Breville BJE830 · $200–400 · Our score 6.1/10

Watermelon is a volume problem, not an extraction problem, and this is the volume machine. Breville states a 3.5 in chute and a 70 fl oz jug -- so a large melon goes through in one session without emptying halfway. 1200 W is more than the fruit needs, which is fine. 1-year warranty at a premium price.

Speed

Breville states 1200 W, multi-speedManufacturer claim: Breville · checked 2026-10-02

What works

• Widest chute in this registry at 3.5 in
• 70 fl oz in one go, so there is no stopping to empty
• The only centrifugal here that makes a noise claim at all

What does not

• Priced into cold-press territory while keeping centrifugal limitations
• 1-year warranty at a premium price point
• Large footprint

Skip this if: You want quiet, or you want greens. Breville's noise claim is relative to other centrifugals, not to a cold press.

2. Best for rind as well as flesh

Omega VSJ843

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

If you want to juice the rind -- which is firm and fibrous, unlike the flesh -- you need an auger, and the gentlest one handles the flesh without turning it to froth. Omega states 43 RPM, a dual-edge auger, 150 W and a 15-year limited warranty. Slow, and the feed opening is narrow, so rind gets cut small.

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 value for watermelon

Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE98XL

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

Breville states a 3 in feed tube and dual speeds at 6,500 and 12,000 RPM; use the low one, because watermelon needs no help at all. The froth separator in the carafe earns its place here. The 34 fl oz carafe means emptying partway through a big melon. 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 pulp control

Ninja NeverClog JC151

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

Watermelon juice can come out foamy and separated, and Ninja's two pulp filters give you some control over the texture. Dishwasher-safe removable parts per Ninja, which matters because sugary juice dries sticky. 150 W, no published RPM, 1-year US warranty, and a 24-30 oz jug that will need emptying.

• 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.
