While a lot of us have come to associate juicing with a cleanse, adding fresh-pressed juices into your diet can be a great way to get extra nutrients without having to down a bowl of kale. But buying juice pre-made can get expensive, 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 straightway get some sugars, vitamins, and electrolytes back into your system—plus it tastes great after a hot summer workout. We researched some of the best juicers available today, and compiled a list that will help you determine which one is right for you.
What to Consider
The main purpose of a juicer is correct that—to juice. But depending on what types of fruits and veggies you nonappearance to juice and the prep you are willing to put in will help determine what you need. Most juicers are between 400 and 1,000 watts, but the sweet defacement is really 700 and up. This allows you to use the juicer frequently and not have to cut your fruits and veggies into small pieces. Note that if your juicer is a cold juicer, it will actually only use about 200 watts as it uses a different process to juice.
Some juicers will allow you to adjust how much pulp you would 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 will come with attachments to make nut milk, frozen treats, or even baby food.
How We Choose
To find the best options between the many juicers, we researched the most popular models available. We then took into account price, ease of use, size, noise level, and durability. Finally, we consulted more than 9,700 reviews, written by people who’ve bought these models, on sites like Amazon and Walmart to settle on these six.
This juicer may be pricey, but it is super powerful, and more than capable of handling dense fruits and veggies with ease. It is 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.
A bit more affordable, 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.
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.
Downside is that it is quite large, so make sure you have enough counter or cabinet space to stow it away.
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 would like in the juice, and it can even be used to make plant or nut milk, or frozen desserts. It does work best if you cut your fruits and veggies into small pieces, so it's better not to stick a whole apple in.
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.
NutriBullet is almost synonymous with juicer at this point, and this model is affordable and powerful. The 800-watt juicer can handle all types of fruits and veggies—and you don't even need to cut them thanks to the extra large chute. Once your juice is made, you can store it for up to 48 hours in the airtight pitcher container.
