If you’re looking for fresh juice in a pinch, Breville’s best-selling centrifugal juicer is a great bet, and a favorite among veteran and beginner juicers alike. Its 3-inch fruit chute allows you to insert large or even whole chunks of produce to save time on cutting and chopping, and its stainless-steel cutting disk and ultra-fine mesh basket work together to remove most pulp. It has a 1.1-liter juice jug for multiple servings, and, thanks to its integrated frothing separator, you’ll get more juice than froth in each glass.
Slow and steady wins the race, and this masticating juicer proves it. It uses seven spirals to slowly masticate, or grind, the fibers in each piece of food for a higher juice yield (up to 90 percent, according to customers) with more retention of nutrients than faster models. At 60 decibels, its motor is only a touch louder than a typical conversation. The best part? Its detachable elements are all dishwasher-safe, and it also works as a grinder, slicer or shredder, making it a handy tool for every meal of the day. It also comes in six unique colors, including mint and orange, so it will add a little life to your kitchen.
This powerhouse of a machine takes the guesswork out of leading a healthier lifestyle. It has a no-drip juice tap to prevent messes before they even happen, an automatic pulp ejector that allows you to juice continuously without having to reset and an auto-cleaning function to keep its pulp screen looking—and working–like new for years to come. Its snail’s pace of 43 RPM also ensures minimal oxidation for juice that will stay fresh in the fridge for at least a couple days, and it boasts a vertical design to save counter space, too.
It’s no secret that one of the most common barriers to owning a juicer is the sheer amount of space they tend to take up on your kitchen counter. Devote no more than 4 inches to this beauty of a cold-press juicer that slowly squeezes every last drop of nutrients out of your produce at 80 RPM with little to no oxidation. It includes a frozen attachment to make icy treats, like sorbet and frozen cocktails, a recipe guide to inspire you on your juicing journey, a cleaning brush, two cups so you’ll always have a clean one on rotation and a pulp measuring cup to help you incorporate all that juicy goodness into new recipes.
If you’re not looking for anything fancy—just a reliable juicer to get the job done—Hamilton Beach is your best bet. It has a wide, 3-inch mouth to accommodate full produce and its plastic elements are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe. There's an extra-large pulp bin, so you can continuously juice for longer periods of time without having to clean up as often, too. Its powerful 800-watt motor is even able to extract juice from tough produce, like melons, ginger root and beets, although you'll want to note that thicker produce must be peeled, while stone fruits must be pitted before juicing. This gadget is also suitable for DIY-ing your own nut, rice or soy milks. And when you're ready for cleanup? There's an included brush to dig out pulp from even the most stubborn of crevices.
Best Juicer for Pulp Control
For its modest size at less than 7 inches wide, Ninja’s cold-press juicer sure packs a punch. You’ll love playing around with the consistency of your beverage courtesy of its pulp control feature, which allows for no pulp, some pulp or lots of pulp. Its 150-watt motor gently extracts at low speeds, yielding fresh liquid with less oxidation and no foam, and the anti-drip level and included cleaning brush make the experience hassle-free.

If a freshly squeezed glass of OJ every morning sounds like your idea of heaven, you’re in for a real treat with Cuisinart’s citrus juicer. It has custom controls for low, medium and large amounts of pulp, and a final spin feature to extract every last drop of juice, making for low waste. All of the removable parts are dishwasher-safe and BPA-free, and at just over 5 inches wide, it’s compact for an electric citrus juicer. With this top-rated pick you can also experiment with the likes of lemons, limes and grapefruit for a citrusy zest to add to salad dressings and sauces—mmm!
While the NutriBullet slow juicer is by no means the cheapest juicer on this list, it does offer great value for what you’re getting. The super-strong auger tackles the toughest of produce for a pulp-free refreshing sip, the powerful motor churns slowly (65 RPMs) and quietly for juice that’s exposed to limited oxidation and the drip-proof spout and included cleaning brush will keep your counter space tidy. It even has washable parts, save for the auger and pusher. To make the most of your juicing experience, consult the included recipe guide for tips and tricks on incorporating the leftover pulp into a range of tasty dishes.
If you want something that's pretty to look at, this ultra-luxurious Hurom slow juicer will be your best bet. With an auger that spins at an ultra-slow 43 RPM to mimic the rate of hand-squeezing, you'll get every last drop of juice—not to mention the fact that it will last longer and retain more nutrients. A control lever with fine and coarse strainers allow you to personalize your pulp preferences. Better still, it contains all of the safety features you could ever want for in order to juice confidently, including overheating protection, safety sensors and a chute that's designed to keep fingers out. It’s also effective at making the likes of sorbet, purees, tofu, nut milks, smoothies and ice cream, effectively serving the function of numerous appliances. To clean this device between recipes, simply run water through it and rinse thoroughly.
Mueller Austria’s 2-pound centrifugal juicer has a lot going for it, namely its ability to produce up to 2 cups of juice in mere seconds into its included 34-ounce jug. Its two-speed system allows you to tackle both soft and tougher produce, and its wide, 3-inch chute saves you time on prep work. All of its parts are removable and dishwasher-safe, and it features a built-in shut-off element should the juicer become jammed or overheated.
