The Best Electric Juicers | America's Test Kitchen

The juicer market can be complicated and confusing. We tested nine models, juicing more than 95 pounds of produce to find a winner.

The expression on Bridget's face when she tried the carrot juice was the funniest thing I've ever seen on ATK. 🤣🤣🤣 She looked like Lucy Ricardo taking Vitameatavegamin. 😂

For anyone wondering:
You can use a juicer on sugarcane, you're going to need one with a much more powerful motor; 800-ish Watts would just burn-out the motor faster.
The 800W motor on the Jack LaLane Fusion Juicer 100 Year Anniversary Edition struggled a bit on sugarcane.


Here's a list of the Breville juicers and their motor power:
Juice Fountain Compact - 700W
Juice Fountain Plus - 850W - ATK Reserved Recommendation
Juice Fountain Cold - 850W - ATK Winner
Juice Fountain Cold Plus - 1000W
Juice Fountain Elite 1000W
Juice Fountain Cold XL 1200W
3X Bluicer Pro - 1100W

FYI, I used to do a lot of juicing back in the 1970s. I have to say that cantaloupe and fresh ginger root make the most delicious juice I ever tasted. good.

For us, the best of both worlds is a Vitamix -- though it is more of a smoothie maker, not juicer. This way you get the benefit of fiber.

I find it easier to eat my fruits and vegetables and chew really well.

Nama J2 is an excellent juicer and sorbet maker.
Yes, quality juicers are expensive.
However, I have had one of my juicers since 1980 and it still works well.
I will purchase the Nama J2 as homemade fresh juice and sorbet are healthy and the Nama J2 is easy to clean.

I have a Breville juicer. I use it to make a ginger, turmeric, apple juice. It works very well. I also eat other foods with fiber so that’s not an issue for me. It’s an older juicer so when it dies I will be looking at a mastication juicer.

Every time I think about getting a juicer, I reconsider because the thought of cleaning it out would make me never use it. I'll stick with my blender, and if I really need to remove the fiber, a strainer.

When I heard the price I made the same face Bridget did when she tasted the carrot juice.

No budget pick? For $400 I'd rather use a good blender and add some water and/or ice to make smoothies. On top of that, more fiber in the drinks, and less counter/storage space required.

Would have been nice to see it working

Those filters are a PIA to clean. I had one and used it maybe twice. If it can't go in the dishwasher...hard pass.

[KINGDOMDAUGHTER]

Still have and used my juiceman juicer, those who recalled this equipment knows;

although it cannot macerate certain fruits and veggies well, also nuts.

Everything else is so pricey and not affordable to low income households.

So i used the blender to reblend the fibers of the fruits, as to waste not.

I still love the jack lalane juicer. Works great everytime

[suzannes]

I have both an Omega and a Breville juicer but my favorite by far is the Pure Juicer, but it's pricey.

[DurokSubaka]

The juice weasel was always my favorite!

[BobGeogeo]

Jeepers. I'd rather use a blender to make smoothies from veggies. For regular juicing of fruits, a hand juicer is under $20. The attachment for a KitchenAid mixer is a little more than that for a 3rd party item.

Let's be honest, you guys are behind the curve. The latest innovation is batch juicing... Think Nama J2, Hurom H400 or Kuvings Auto 10. That's where the market is right now. You guys are reviewing juicers that were state of the art 5+ years ago. Cleaning your juicer is an art. You put through a cup of water before cleaning. Then you scrub gently with an o cedar sponge.

[Blackmark]

Expensive, choresom, hard to clean, and produces mounds of crappy juiceless pulp : *Juicing makes no sense to me.*
Maybe a video about how to use the pre-masticated fruits and vegetables leftover from juicing.

[niviensaleh]

Disappointing comparison. It does not explain, for instance, why masticating juicers are preferable over centrifugal juicers: They push less air into the juice and therefore cause less oxidation.
