 Best overall juicer The Breville Juice Fountain Elite is the big winner in the two best juicer reviews we found. The big advantage to the Breville juicer is its 1000-watt motor and extra wide, three-inch feeder tube, which means users can skip chopping food into smaller pieces. Reviews say the elegant-looking aluminum Breville juicer is efficient at squeezing the most juice from produce. It is easy to clean, with dishwasher-safe parts. The Breville juicer comes with a one-year warranty (three years on the motor). |
 Best budget juice extractor Breville's BJE200XL Juice Fountain Compact. Like the more expensive Fountain Elite, the Compact has a 3 inch wide chute, which allows you to juice many fruits whole. The Juice Fountain Compact differs from the Fountain Elite in that it has a less powerful motor, plastic housing and a smaller footprint, but it produces nearly as much juice as its more expensive sibling, say owners. The build quality is very good and parts are dishwasher-safe. The strength of Breville's performance across the board, along with dozens of positive user reviews, merit its inclusion here. The L'Equip 110.5 comes close the best budget juicer, say reviews, but since it has a smaller feeder tube than pricier juicers, you must chop fruit into small pieces. The L'equip 110.5, uses centrifugal force to separate juice, ejecting pulp into a basket for emptying, has a 6 year warranty and a 600-watt motor. |
 Basic juicer If you plan mainly on juicing softer fruits and vegetables, owners posting comments to Amazon.com, Cooking.com and Epinions say the Waring juicer is a good choice for the price. Its 400-watt motor isn't as powerful as others, and it has just a one-year warranty (with five years on the motor). Owners say it looks nice on a countertop, with its stainless-steel housing. We did read some complaints of occasional leaks. |
 Citrus juicer If you merely want to juice citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, the CitriStar Citrus Juicer by Tribest dispenses juice directly into its 1-liter pitcher. This model has adjustable pulp control along with small and large cones for different-sized fruit. The CitriStar Citrus Juicer is merely an electric version of a hand reamer and can't juice anything other than citrus. You'll need a juice extractor if you want to juice vegetables or other fruits. |
 Most efficient juicer Unlike most juicers, the Acme 5001 doesn't automatically eject the fibrous leftover pulp, so it's a bit more difficult to clean. However, reviews say holding onto the pulp longer squeezes an extra 20% to 35% yield over ejection models like L'Equip and Breville. Experts say this can be a money-saver, if you make a lot of juice. More difficult cleaning is the trade-off for a more efficient juicer. |
 Masticating juice extractor The Omega 8005 is a single-auger, masticating juice extractor. It crushes produce to a pulp then squeezes out the juice. Reviews say this kind of extractor is very versatile. In addition to juice, it can make pasta, baby food and nut butters -- tasks that centrifugal juicers can't do. Ratings by ConsumerSearch.com |
