If your daily fresh-pressed green juice from the local cafe is starting to break the bank, you may want to invest in your own juicer. From adding more fresh fruit and veggies to your diet to elevating classic cocktail recipes with your own fresh-pressed juices, there are plenty of healthy benefits to be had.
In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, we've tested over 50 juicers in the last decade alone, evaluating them for performance and efficiency. In our testing, we juice pulpy apples that have a wide diameter and oxidize quickly, floppy kale which can often jam machines and hard and fibrous carrots. And we score each juicer for its output and the resulting juice's taste, texture and temperature.
Our top picks:
There are two main juicer styles to choose from: masticating juicers (also known as slow juicers or cold press) and centrifugal juicers:
- Masticating juicers use an auger to crush fruit and veggies that are then squished through a screen to press out the juice, which experts say is gentler on ingredients and retains more nutrients.
- Centrifugal juicers use a flat disc with teeth that cuts or grates produce into small pieces before it is spun through a sieve at high speed to separate the juice from the pulp, which is great for juicing harder fruits and vegetables. Keep in mind that masticating juicers tend to be more expensive than their centrifugal counterparts.
