The 7 Best Juicers to Add to Your Kitchen Lineup

While a lot of us have come to associate juicing with a cleanse, adding fresh-pressed juices into your diet is a great way to get extra nutrients without having to down a bowl of kale or a brain-freezing smoothie. But buying juice pre-made can get expensive—and once juiced, fruits and veggies tend to quickly lose their vital nutrients—so investing in a juicer can save you money and give you a fresher final product. Post-run, a juice is a great, natural way to quickly get some sugars, vitamins, and electrolytes back into your system without feeling bloated or getting cramps—plus it tastes great after a sweaty workout.

The main purpose of a juicer is just that—to juice. But depending on what types of fruits and veggies you want to juice and the prep you’re willing to put in determines what type of juicer you need. Most juicers are between 400 and 1,000 watts, but the sweet spot is really 700 and up—enough to power through tough rinds and juice efficiently. Higher power also means you can use the juicer more frequently without wearing it out, and you’ll have an easier time with fruits and veggies you don’t feel like cutting into small pieces.

Note that cold-press juicers only use about 200 watts, but that doesn’t mean they’re ill-equipped for the job. They’re made with lower wattage so the motor doesn’t warm up your fruit as you juice it, making for ice-cold fruit juices. Also called masticating juicers, they often come with a second motor to push the pulp through and get as much juice as possible, so this is the ideal pick if you plan on making fresh-squeezed orange juice every morning, for instance.

Some juicers allow you to adjust how much pulp you'd like in the juice, so if this is important to you, make sure that the model you purchase has this feature. Higher end juicers often also come with attachments to make nut milk, frozen treats, and even baby food.

To find the best options among the many juicers, we researched the most popular models available as well as researching trusted sources like Good Housekeeping, Food Network, and CNET. We also looked to reviews written by people who’ve bought these models to determine which products and features held up in the real world. We chose a range of products that cover all budgets, and while all are able to produce a stellar juice, we also threw in some options with additional features for those looking to get the most out of their appliances.

BEST OVERALL

Detachable parts are dishwasher-safe

Affordable price

Loud motor

Affordable and high-quality, this Hamilton Beach juicer is reliable and easy to use, and the detachable parts can even be washed in the dishwasher. Plus, it comes with an attachment that wipes the pulp off the blade while protecting your fingers.

While the motor can be a bit loud, it works well even with hard veggies like beets, and gives you pulp-free juice.

BEST PREMIUM

Sleek design

Quiet motor

Expensive

This juicer may be pricey, but it is super powerful and more than capable of handling dense fruits and veggies with ease. It's relatively quiet, which is great for early-morning juices, and has an easy-to-clean stainless steel exterior. The two-speed system makes it super easy to use and it produces a smooth, pulp-free result.

MOST AFFORDABLE

Affordable

Can juice whole and hard fruits and veggies

Filter can be difficult to clean

I actually own this juicer, and while that may make me a bit biased, it truly functions incredibly well for the price. One thing about me is that I’ll put my juicer through the wringer, so this little guy has taken on full carrots, cucumbers, and apples while living to juice another day.

It has a large collection container and can make a sizable batch of juice—usually enough to last a couple days. The two speeds help get the most out of your softer fruits and veg and easily tackle the crisper ones. My one complaint is the micro-mesh filter, which takes some real elbow grease to get clean, but it also produces silky-smooth juice, so it's worth it to me.

MOST VERSATILE

Slow process keeps juice cold

Can grind, puree, and make frozen desserts

Large footprint

This juicer is incredibly versatile and worth the extra pennies if you can afford it. It produces smooth juice that preserves its nutrients thanks to its masticating technique, which not only juices during the crushing process, but once again from the pulp, and the slow-press system helps keep it cool.

It also comes with attachments that allow you to grind coffee, puree baby food, and even make frozen desserts. The downside is the large footprint, so make sure you have enough counter or cabinet space to stow it away.

BEST COLD PRESS

Now 13% Off

Adjustable pulp quantity

Great for making nut milk and frozen desserts, too

Very expensive

This cold-press juicer seeks to emulate hand juicing without the labor. It spins at 43 revolutions per minute, which helps keep your juice extra cold, preserving nutrients.

You can set the pulp chute to include as much or as little pulp as you want in the juice, and it can even be used to make plant or nut milk and frozen desserts. It does work best if you cut your fruits and veggies into small pieces, so keep in mind that this model requires prep.

BEST COMPACT

Now 15% Off

Comes with brush for easy cleaning

Small footprint

Not the most powerful

Affordable and compact, this little juicer is great for small spaces. It can handle everything from leafy greens to apples, and can even make sorbet and nut milk with the frozen attachment. Nutrients are preserved with the cold-press system, and it comes with a measuring cup for pulp, and a brush to clean in the hard to reach areas.

BEST FOR CITRUS

Now 12% Off

Affordable

Dishwasher-friendly parts

Only works for citrus

If your definition of juice ends at citrus, there's no point in spending a ton of coin on a full blast, veggie-friendly juicer. This one is a step above a non-electric citrus juicer, and makes freshly squeezed orange juice a breeze.

It has a reamer on top, which helps dig out all the juicy bits, which is then filtered through the pulp catcher, down into the bottom measuring cup that doubles as a pitcher. All removable parts are also dishwasher safe, making for a quick cleanup.
