The 10 Best Juicers of 2026, Ranked

It depends on what you value. Cold press (slow or masticating) juicers press produce at 50 to 100rpm, so they are quieter, make little foam, leave drier pulp and cope better with leafy greens. Centrifugal juicers spin fast, finish a glass in under a minute and need less chopping, but they are louder and froth more. Centrifugal models are usually cheaper, though the top cold press machines here cost several times more.

Slow juicers generally give more juice and drier pulp, with the biggest gap on leafy greens, herbs and soft fruit. Makers quote yields such as Philips claiming up to 80% extraction, but these are claims, so check the leftover pulp: if it is damp, there is juice left in it. Centrifugal models do well on firm produce like apples and carrots and weakly on kale, spinach and wheatgrass.

Cleaning takes a few minutes whichever type you buy. Count the parts: a slow juicer has an auger, screen and chamber, and the hands-free models have a large hopper too. The Ninja, Philips and nutribullet machines here have dishwasher-safe parts, while the Kuvings and Nama models are hand wash only. Rinse straight after juicing, before pulp dries on the screen, and use the supplied brush.

Wash produce and remove stones, large pips and thick peel such as pineapple skin. Chute width sets the rest: an 88mm or 90mm chute takes a whole apple, a 70 to 76mm chute takes small fruit whole and needs larger pieces halved, and narrower slow juicers need chopped pieces. Hands-free models like the Nama J2 and Kuvings AUTO10S hold a whole batch, and a bigger jug and pulp container mean fewer stops.

A juicer removes most of the fibre and gives a thin drink, while a blender keeps all of it and makes a thicker smoothie. Choose a juicer if you want clear juice from veg and fruit, and a blender if you want the fibre. The Sage 3X Bluicer Pro does both jobs in one machine. A citrus press is a separate, cheaper job for oranges and lemons and is not ranked here.

Cold press juice is often said to keep longer than centrifugal juice because it holds less air, but claims vary, so drink it within a day and keep it chilled in a sealed bottle. Warranties here run from the standard two years, often needing registration, up to 10 years on the Kuvings motor and up to 15 years from Nama. Read what a long warranty covers, as some parts have shorter cover.
