7 Best Juicers for Adding More Produce to Your Routine

Pros

Beginner-friendly and easy to use
Smooth juice with no visible pulp
Compact footprint for a juicer
Handles a wide range of produce

Cons

Loud during operation
Cleanup is time-consuming

The Nutribullet Juicer is great for anyone new to juicing or looking for a high-speed centrifugal juicer that's easy to understand and use. It doesn't have a steep learning curve. During testing, it handled a wide range of produce without trouble.

I tested this juicer with carrots, apples, oranges, kale, celery, and lemon, and its ability to handle a variety of produce makes it a good choice for experimenting with different combinations of fruits and vegetables. The juice came out smooth and pulp-free, while the leftover pulp was moderately dry. This juicer is loud and comparable to other centrifugal models. It's roughly the volume of a vacuum cleaner, and I wouldn't want to have a conversation while it's running. That said, this is pretty standard for high-speed juicers and unlikely to surprise most buyers.

What makes this juicer especially good for beginners is its size and simplicity. It's lighter than many juicers, easy to assemble, and powerful enough to handle both soft and fibrous produce. It also comes with helpful recipe ideas, including suggestions for using leftover pulp.

Cleanup was about what I expected for this category. There are multiple parts, and while none are difficult to clean, it does take time, especially the sieve, which requires the scrub brush Nutribullet provides to entirely remove pulp and residue. Some parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe, though they didn't all fit in my dishwasher.

Overall, if you're new to juicing or want a straightforward, high-speed juicer that does the job without a lot of bells and whistles, the Nutribullet Juicer is a good place to start.

The Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juice Extractor is another good option for first-time juicers. It features a simple centrifugal design and an extra-wide 3-inch chute that means you need to do a little less chopping before running your produce through the machine. Its 800-watt motor can handle a variety of fruits and vegetables, while dishwasher-safe removable parts and an included cleaning brush help make cleanup a little less intimidating.

Pros

Most affordable juicer we tested
Powerful motor with smooth juice output
Large chute reduces prep time

Cons

Very loud during operation
Included health claims are misleading

The Omega High Speed Juicer with Large Chute was the most affordable juicer we tested. It's an entry-level option for anyone curious about juicing without committing to a higher price tag. This is a centrifugal (high-speed) juicer, which means it uses fast-spinning blades to extract juice quickly, rather than slowly pressing produce the way masticating models do.

I tested this juicer with a mix of apples, kale, oranges, lemon, carrots, and celery. The juice itself came out very smooth with no noticeable pulp in the glass. The large chute also made it easier to juice a variety of fruits and vegetables without spending as much time chopping them first. The leftover pulp was reasonably dry, though not as dry as the pulp I saw from the masticating juicer I tested. For a high-speed model at this price point, the extraction was solid, and the juice tasted fresh and clean.

This juicer is loud - similar to a blender running at full speed. It easily drowned out the TV, and I had to raise my voice to talk over it. If you're planning to juice early in the morning or in a shared space, keep that in mind.

Cleanup is functional but time-consuming. There are multiple parts, and while nothing was too complicated to wash, it takes time to rinse and clean each piece. Most parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe, but some are too large to fit comfortably in my dishwasher.

This model is very powerful and requires minimal prep time to make the juice. The large chute means you don't need to cut produce into small pieces, which can save a lot of time.

One important caveat: As a registered dietitian, I was disappointed by some of the health claims in the included recipe book, which suggested that juice could "balance pH" or "heal gut inflammation" while citing research on whole fruits and vegetables. Juicing can have a place in a whole-foods diet, but it's not the same as eating whole produce.

However, keeping this in mind, I still like this model for a simple, but effective, budget-friendly way to get started juicing at home.

For another affordable pick, the Cuisinart Compact Juice Extractor offers one-touch operation in a relatively small package. It comes with a 16-ounce juice pitcher and can collect up to 40 ounces of pulp before being emptied, making it quite practical for its size and price.

Pros

Compact size ideal for small kitchens
Better than expected juice output for a small hopper
Reasonable noise level

Cons

Juice is more pulpy than some may prefer
Parts can be hard to disassemble

The Tribest Shine Kitchen Co. Multi-Batch Compact Cold Press Juicer is the best option for small spaces on our list. Its slim footprint lets you keep a juicer on hand without giving up precious counter or storage space.

Martinet says that despite the small hopper, extraction was better than expected. "The output volume of juice was a little higher than I expected for how small the hopper is." That said, the juice texture leaned thicker. "The juice was kind of pulpy," says Martinet, which may appeal to those who prefer more texture in their juice, but not those who want an ultra-smooth result.

The Tribest's noise levels are reasonable for a juicer, according to Martinet. "It was a lower volume than a blender for sure, but you might need to turn up your TV if you juiced super close to it."

Martinet says cleanup was typical for a juicer in this category, with several parts to disassemble and wash. She reports that some components fit together snugly, which required a bit more effort when taking the juicer apart, but hopes this improves with regular use.

Similar to the Nama Cold Press, the Tribest allows you to fill the juicer with multiple ingredients and walk away. It's also designed to be travel-friendly, with compact dimensions and a light weight. "I love the more compact size," Martinet says. For small kitchens or when storage is limited, the Tribest Shine is a fantastic choice.

Short on counter space? The Breville Juice Fountain Compact measures just 9.1 by 9.8 inches at its base. Despite its compact design, you still get a 700-watt motor and a 3-inch feed chute, so you won't necessarily have to sacrifice convenience just to save some space.

Quietest Juicer

Hamilton Beach Masticating Slow Juicer

Buy Now at Walmart

Pros

Quiet
Efficient extraction
Easy to clean
Simple to use

Cons

Requires initial reference to the instruction manual
Takes up moderate counter or storage space

The Hamilton Beach Masticating Slow Juicer stood out to me during testing because it's so much quieter than I expected a juicer to be. It's a masticating juicer, which means it presses and crushes the produce, unlike traditional centrifugal juicers, which extract using a high-speed blade and can be very loud. It's simple to operate and clean. It's even quiet enough to use while still carrying on a conversation.

I tested it with a carrot, apple, and orange blend, followed by a green juice made with kale, ginger, apple, and lemon. The juice was smooth and pulp-free. I was impressed with how much moisture it removed, indicating efficient extraction.

I'll admit that I rarely juice at home anymore, primarily because these machines are notoriously hard to clean, but this one makes it so much easier. It breaks down into multiple pieces, making it easy to rinse each part clean (and all removable components are top-rack dishwasher-safe).

The Hamilton Beach is also beginner-friendly. While I had to reference the instruction manual at the beginning, setup becomes intuitive after the first or second try (my 8-year-old was able to put it together after a few uses).

If noise has stopped you from using a juicer or if cleanup has made you quit in the past, the Hamilton Beach Masticating Slow Juicer might change your mind.

The Cuisinart Easy Clean Slow Juicer is another masticating option to consider if noise reduction is a priority, with a motor designed to operate with what Cuisinart calls "quiet efficiency." As a bonus, its mesh-free filter rinses clean under the tap, and the removable parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe.

Pros

Extremely powerful motor
Large chute fits whole produce
Smooth juice with dry pulp
Fast, efficient extraction

Cons

Very loud
Large and bulky footprint

The Hamilton Beach Professional Super Chute Easy Clean Juice Extractor is the most powerful juicer we tested. This is a centrifugal juicer designed for speed and strength. It's best for people who are very serious about juicing and want fast results with minimal prep. If you're someone who wants to make large batches of juice at a time, this is your juicer.

Shoemaker tested this juicer using carrots, apples, oranges, grapefruit, and spinach. The juice itself came out "very smooth," while the leftover pulp was dry and "mostly seemed completely disintegrated." One standout feature is the oversized food chute. "I could put whole apples in without needing to cut or core them," she says, which majorly cuts down on prep time.

The high power comes with trade-offs, starting with noise. This was by far the loudest juicer tested. "Extremely loud. Even on the lowest setting," Shoemaker says. "It sounds like an airplane taking off." In fact, she never even tried the high setting. "The low setting was already so extremely powerful and loud."

There are multiple parts, though Shoemaker notes it's "fairly easy to clean," thanks in part to tools included designed to remove pulp from tight spaces. It's loud and large, but for high-volume juicers, this machine absolutely does the job.

For another heavy-duty juicer, we like the Breville Juice Fountain Cold XL . It pairs a 1,200-watt motor with variable speeds and an extra-wide 3.5-inch feed chute. Its 70-ounce juice jug also makes it very well-suited to larger batches, though its 15.5-pound weight and larger footprint may be more than occasional juicers need.

Easiest Juicer to Clean

Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer

Buy Now at Scheels

Pros

Easy to clean
Very smooth juice with dry pulp
Compact design
Efficient extraction

Cons

Small feed chute requires extra prep
Moderately loud during operation

The Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer stands out as the easiest juicer to clean among the models tested. "There are a lot of parts, but they're all fairly easy to clean," says registered dietitian and Everyday Health writer SaVanna Shoemaker, MS, RDN, LD , who tested this model. If you've been turned off by juicing because of cleanup, this model removes one of the most significant barriers to regular use.

Shoemaker tested this juicer with a variety of ingredients, including beets, kale, spinach, grapefruit, apple, orange, tangerine, and carrot. "There was a lot of pulp, but it was very dry," says Shoemaker. "We tried to re-juice the pulp and barely got anything out of it." Drier pulp means more juice and less sticky cleanup.

Noise levels were moderate for a juicer. It wasn't quiet enough to watch TV over, but it wasn't painfully loud either, according to Shoemaker. Size-wise, it's fairly compact for a cold-press juicer , making it easier to store or leave out on the counter without taking up too much space.

"It has a very small feed chute, so everything needs to be cut prior to juicing," notes Shoemaker, which adds extra prep time. But overall, if cleanup has been the biggest thing holding you back from juicing at home, the Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer might help you take the leap.

The Hurom H70 aims to simplify cleanup with a strainer-free chamber and a two-part auger, which eliminates the fine-mesh strainer that usually requires extra scrubbing. Its components also separate for easier rinsing, making this premium slow juicer worth a look if cleanup is one of your biggest complaints about juicing.

Best for Daily Juicing

Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer

Pros

Excellent for daily, routine juicing
Quiet operation
Hands-off design
Thoughtful features to simplify cleaning

Cons

Many parts to disassemble and clean
No dishwasher-safe parts

The Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer is our favorite option for daily juicing, primarily for its hands-off operation. It's a masticating juicer built for people who juice regularly and want something a little more upscale. The ability to load produce, start the machine, and step away is a standout feature for anyone who juices regularly.

Tori Martinet, MS, RD , dietitian and owner of Tori's Table , tested the Nama J2 with carrots, cucumber, apple, beets, various greens, ginger, and turmeric. She even used it to make almond milk. She reports the extraction was efficient and consistent. "The pulp was fairly dry, and it didn't feel like a lot - an acceptable amount in the bin for a full hopper of produce," she says.

Martinet also notes this juicer has a reasonable noise level. "It was surprisingly quiet, not as loud as a blender - maybe the volume of a moderate TV," she says. While cleanup does require some effort to clean the individual pieces, the design feels very intentional. "The area where the pulp comes out - famous for being hard to clean - is designed with a trapdoor so it's much easier," she adds.

Design and usability are major selling points. "I love the design. I love that it was clearly built with the knowledge that it would need to be cleaned, and I really love that you can turn it on and walk away from it," Martinet says. "The instructions are helpful, and the packaging is beautiful and luxurious."

If juicing is already part of your daily routine or you want a machine that makes it easier to commit, the Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer is one of the most thoughtfully designed options available.

We Also Liked:

Frequent juicers who want to prep larger batches may appreciate the K uvings AUTO10 Plus , which has a massive 135-ounce self-feeding hopper that lets you load produce while leaving much of the feeding to the machine. It's definitely an investment, but its ease of use and 15-year warranty help make a case for it if juicing is part of your daily routine.

Breville Juice Fountain Cold Plus :This centrifugal juicer impressed tester Marisa Olsen with its exceptionally smooth, pulp-free juice. Its wide feed chute cuts down on produce prep, while the 70-ounce jug holds plenty of juice at once. Ultimately, its larger footprint kept it from earning a top spot, but it's still a strong choice if you have the counter space and regularly make juice for more than one person.

Magic Bullet Mini Juicer :If counter space is tight, our tester, registered dietitian Julie Cunningham, MPH, RDN, LDN , found this compact centrifugal model easy to use and clean. At just 7 by 6 inches at the base and 3.5 pounds, it's particularly easy to store, and we liked that you can juice directly into the included 16-ounce cup and add the sip lid when you're done. While its compact size makes it especially convenient for small kitchens, the trade-off is capacity: You'll need to empty the pulp bin more often when juicing larger quantities. For smaller servings or occasional juicing, though, we still think it offers a lot of convenience in a tiny package.

How We Tested Juicers

We used hands-on testing to find out which juicers are actually worth owning and using regularly. Testers were instructed to use a variety of fruits and vegetables, including hard produce (such as carrots and beets), leafy greens, and citrus.

We focused on factors that really help determine whether a juicer is something you use daily or ends up stored in a cabinet: juice quality and texture, pulp dryness, noise level, ease of use, cleanup effort, size, and overall practicality.

Multiple contributors conducted testing, including myself - a registered dietitian - and two other dietitians, Tori Martinet, MS, RD , and SaVanna Shoemaker, MS, RDN, LD . As writers, testers, and dietitians who regularly evaluate kitchen appliances and nutrition-related tools, we understand what to look for in terms of real-world performance.

What to Look for When Buying a Juicer

The best juicer for you depends on several key factors:

Type of Juicer Centrifugal (high-speed) models are faster and often more affordable, while cold-press (masticating) juicers tend to be quieter and extract juice more slowly.
Ease of Cleanup Consider how many parts need to be disassembled and whether they're dishwasher-safe. If cleaning up feels like a drag, you'll never want to juice.
Noise LevelNot everyone cares about noise, but high-speed juicers can be loud, which matters if you live with other people or prefer early morning juicing.
Size and Feed ChuteThink about counter space, storage, and whether a larger chute (for less prep time) is essential to you.
Price and ValueJuicers range widely in cost, so balance features with how often you realistically plan to juice.

Is Juicing Actually Good for You?

Juicing can be a helpful way to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet, especially if you struggle to eat enough produce. Juice provides vitamins and minerals, and for some people, it's an easy way to boost nutrient intake.

While juice with added sugar can contribute to excess calorie intake and affect blood sugar, research suggests that moderate intake of 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice (about 4 to 8 ounces per day) is not associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes or heart disease in generally healthy adults.

However, juice isn't nutritionally equivalent to whole fruits and vegetables. Most of the fiber is removed during juicing. Fiber plays an important role in digestion, blood sugar regulation, gut health, and satiety. Eating intact produce provides more sustained satiety, retains all the fiber and associated phytochemicals, and has been linked to reduced risk of type 2 diabetes.

For all of these reasons, juicing can be part of a healthy diet. But because it removes most fiber and concentrates natural sugars, whole fruits and vegetables should be the emphasis, while juicing can complement your diet.

Do You Lose Nutrients When You Juice Fruits and Vegetables?

Juicing does change the nutrient profile of fruits and vegetables. There are trade-offs compared with eating them whole. Most juices still provide vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and plant compounds, but the juicing process removes most of the fiber and some phytonutrients.

Removing fiber is one of the biggest drawbacks, since it's so essential for cardiovascular health, digestion, blood sugar regulation, and gut health. Research shows that fiber helps slow the absorption of natural sugars, supporting steadier blood sugar responses and greater fullness when fruits and vegetables are eaten whole rather than juiced.

That said, juicing may have its place. In some cases, specific nutrients may actually become easier for the body to absorb. For example, research suggests that beta-carotene may be more bioavailable from carrot juice than from raw carrots, so the body can absorb and use more of it.

Still, these benefits don't outweigh the importance of whole fruits and vegetables. Juicing is ideally a complement to a fiber-rich diet , not a replacement for whole produce.

Cold Press vs. Centrifugal Juicer: Which Should You Choose?

Cold-press (masticating) and centrifugal juicers extract juice differently. The best option depends on how you plan to use a juicer. Cold-press juicers slowly crush and press produce. These juicers also tend to be quieter but may cost more.

Centrifugal juicers use a fast blade to shred produce and quickly separate juice. They're generally more affordable and faster to use. The trade-offs are higher noise levels and, depending on the brand, less efficient extraction, especially from leafy greens.

It's often claimed that cold-press juicers retain more nutrients than centrifugal juicers due to lower temperatures and gentler extraction, but more research is needed to confirm this.

If you plan to juice frequently and value quiet operation and juice quality, a cold-press juicer is often the better choice. If speed, simplicity, and price matter more (and you're only juicing occasionally), a centrifugal juicer may make more sense.

FAQ

Does juicing help with weight loss?

Juicing alone is not a sustainable way to lose weight. While replacing high-calorie foods with juice may lead to short-term weight loss, diets low in fiber and protein are less filling and harder to maintain.

Whole fruits and vegetables support weight management more effectively because fiber increases satiety and helps regulate appetite and blood sugar levels.

What are the healthiest ingredients to juice?

Vegetables, including leafy greens, cucumbers, celery, or carrots, may be the healthiest ingredients, offering a low-sugar juice option. However, fruits provide additional vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols that may also be beneficial. You can also add ginger or turmeric for extra spice and anti-inflammatory support.

Are juice cleanses healthy or safe?

Nutrition experts don't usually recommend juice cleanses. There's no evidence they "detox" the body, as your liver and kidneys already do that. Juice cleanses can be low in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients. Instead, juicing may complement a diet rich in other nutrient-dense foods.

How long does fresh juice last in the fridge?

Freshly made juice is best consumed within 24 hours, though it may last 48 to 72 hours when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Nutrients like vitamin C degrade over time, and oxidation can affect flavor and quality.

Can juicing replace eating whole fruits and vegetables?

No, juicing doesn't replace eating whole fruits and vegetables. Whole produce contains fiber and intact plant compounds. Instead, juicing can complement a diet rich in a variety of whole fruits and vegetables.
