The Best Juicer Brands?

Breville

One of the most respected names in the industry. Breville has an excellent track record of producing some of the most well-loved and easiest to use high performance Juicers. 

While they do offer a masticating juicer, Breville stands out as the best brand name for centrifugal juicers, as evidenced in their thousands of satisfied customer reviews. Fast, dependable and convenient Juicers with parts that are simple to use and put together and easy to dismantle and clean.

Omega

A top contender for the crown. Omega are also known for timeless quality and performance from their sturdy machinery.

​Offering both centrifugal and masticating juicers in horizontal and vertical designs, Omega cater for the pro users out there who not only extract juices but also make nut butters and extrude pasta. If you're going to be regularly juicing with leafy greens such as kale and spinach then an Omega is most likely what you are looking for.

Other Juicer Brands

While these juicer brands don't quite command the same respect as Breville and Omega these, often  lower budget, juicers are certainly gaining loyal followings thanks to continued improvements to their various models over the years.

Alternative juicer brands include: VonShef, Black & Decker, Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart, Gourmia, Hurom and Aicok.
So which is the way to go?

​

1. ​OMEGA NC800 HDS 5th Generation Nutrition Center Masticating Juicer

This horizontal masticating juicer by OMEGA really stands out in the juicing market and could very well hold the title of the best juicer available across the entire globe.

Improving on their already outstanding J8006 model (also featured) this juicer brings a larger chute and an even higher juice yield for its lucky users. Found under $350 at the time of writing you'll certainly be hard pressed to find such an impressive and functional piece of kit with such amazing capability elsewhere.

There is a 6th generation juicer - the NC900 HDC - however with a price tag of just under $500, our money is still safely betting on the NC800!

UPDATE - The NC900 HDC has been reduced significantly in line with the NC800. At this price it is definitely up here at the top of this list. Although the product currently has fewer reviews they are all seemingly positive so with similar price tags we'd say from such a renowned brand as OMEGA there isn't much risk in getting the less-reviewed newer model.

2. ​Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor

Arguably the best centrifugal juicer that money can buy, the Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite is one of Breville's best rated and top selling juicers. The juicer holds the prestigious Amazon's Choice badge reserved for only the best - so you know this machine has a lot going for it!

A powerful 1000-watt juicer with dual speed control to allow juicing on either high (13,000 RPM) or low (6,500 RPM) speeds for harder or softer fruits and vegetables respectively and with Breville's patented extra-wide 3" feed chute and also patented direct central feed system no other centrifugal juicer can match this ones performance.

Titanium reinforced cutting blades and an extra large capacity pulp container make for smooth operation and extra features such as the safety locking arm and large container with froth separator really drive this machine into excellence. Made from solid die-cast materials this juicer is both sturdy and aesthetically pleasing - a real all round winner.

3. Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor

Coming in third is the Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain. It was a close call between position 3 and 4 with both being very similar centrifugal models. In the end it came down to three crucial factors - price, average rating and consistency. The Breville BJE200XL is an absolutely incredible value-for-money juicer. While this is a slightly older model, first coming onto Amazon in 2001, with over 5000 reviews and an average rating of 4.5/5 the feedback speaks for itself - there clearly is something special about this juicer.

This impressive juicer works at a 14,000 RPM despite its 700-Watt power usage and the titanium cutting disc coupled with the stainless steel micro-mesh filter work harmoniously to deliver maximum juice yield. Priced at just $99 at the time of writing this juicer ranks highly on our list of top 10 juicers thanks to the ease of accessibility for many looking for their first juicer who don't want to break the bank (a close call between this and #4, the Juice Fountain Plus).

For those looking for an affordable juicer that packs a real punch, is easy to both use and clean thanks to its mostly machine washable parts and takes up minimal space - this is the one for you! At this price you certainly can't complain - just check out the reviews on Amazon if you aren't convinced. This is a true tried and tested piece of kit that despite not having all the bells and whistles of the newer models consistently appears on lists such as this one for being one of the best juicers even over a decade after its initial launch. While it may struggle with some of the harder fruits and veggies as well as leafy greens, for an entry level juicer this really is a hard-to-beat machine.

4. Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juice Extractor

As above, so below. The Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus is similar to the Juice Fountain Compact (above) however for those looking for slightly more functionality with a little more to spend on their juicer this piece of kit finds the perfect compromise above the base entry level compact juicer.

The main difference with the Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus is that it features a dual speed option - 6,500 RPM and 12,000 RPM - and is powered by a stronger 850-Watt motor delivering more energy to those RPM's to really work down the harder fruits and vegetables. As with all centrifugal juicers it may struggle with leafy greens however as a mid-range juicer for those who don't want to be spending out of their budget this juicer, listed at $149.95 new at the time of writing, is a truly fantastic option.

Further features include the safety locking arm, overload protection LED and large-capacity pulp collector to enable larger quantities of raw material to be processed in one go without the need to stop to empty the pulp. Ranking highly for budget, versatility and ease of use and a solid heavy grade polymer construction, wide chute and 1-liter juice jug with most parts being dishwasher safe, this juicer is a great way to get into juicing knowing you won't be spending ages on the prep and cleanup.

Edit: Breville have a newer version of this juicer that is yet to receive the same feedback as this model however for completeness you may be interested in the slightly more expensive Breville BJE430SIL The Juice Fountain Cold for their 'Elevated Juicing System' and larger, 70 oz, container.

5. Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Masticating Juicer

The Omega 8006 Nutrition Center has been around for a few years and continues to impress.  Owners still love how well this juicer handles leafy green vegetables, how quiet it runs, and how durable and versatile it is for them.  This model has been one of OMEGA's top masticating juicers for quite some time and customer scores bare this out.  Excellent choice for beginning and experienced juicers alike.

The Omega J8006 Nutrition Center juicer is a masticating type of juicer which works at slow speeds (only 80 RPM) to efficiently extract juice from all kinds of produce without generating heat and foam. The juice yield is high, is of superior quality and boasts a shelf life of up to 72 hours. This juicer works quietly and is backed up with a 15-year warranty for your peace of mind. What’s more, it performs multiple functions as a nut butter and pasta making machine. The price may be limiting but its efficiency lets you save on produce over time. 

An excellent example of a masticating juicer by OMEGA. Versatile, high-performing and long lasting.

 6. OMEGA VSJ843 - Vertical Masticating Juicer 

If having a quiet juicer is a primary factor for you then the Omega VSJ843R and VSJ843Q are two of the best juicers for quiet operation.  These upright masticating juicers run at just 43 RPM and produce less noise than any other machine on our lists.  This is a brand new model and it provides the positives that masticating juicers offer but in a vertical space saving design.  Excellent juice yield, good leafy vegetable performance and ease of use are some of what makes this juicer so desirable.

Exactly as you'd expect from the OMEGA brand - a smooth running, highly capable machine that will serve you for life if handled correctly. A fantastic example of OMEGA's design capabilities and an excellent choice if you have the budget.

7. Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer Silver B6000S Vertical Masticating Juicer

This innovative design from Kuvings is the first vertical masticating juicer to feature an extra wide feed chute.  This enables larger sized food to be dropped into the machine without having to be cut into smaller pieces.  This can be a huge time saver.  The B6000S delivers an excellent juicing experience, and features a sorbet maker to boot. It scores high with owners for its convenience and ease of use.  This is a quality masticating juice extractor that owners have really responded to. 

While the Kuvings brand doesn't quite hold the same place as OMEGA and Breville, we have included the B6000S in this list for being a great performing piece of kit that has definitely made its mark in the juicing world in a positive way.

A well deserved spot for this highly capable vertical masticating juicer from Kuvings. Sure to be an excellent addition to your kitchen repertoire should you choose to go this route!

8. OMEGA J8004 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer

This Omega juicer is virtually the same as the J8006, except for the color and a few minor tweaks.  The powerful, single-gear commercial motor has proven to be quite the workhorse over the years and it continues to be one of the better selling masticating juicers on the market with its dual-stage juicing with speeds down to 80 RPMs with no foaming, clogging, or heat buildup.

Known for its durability, versatility and its ease of use, the OMEGA J8004 is still going strong.  Great with leafy greens, quiet, and producing high juice yield, this unit has received plenty of very favorable reviews from owners.  An excellent choice for a first juicer as another great example from the OMEGA brand.

9. Tribest SW-2000-B Slowstar Vertical Slow Cold Press Juicer and Mincer

The Slowstar is another high performing vertical masticating juicer that takes advantage of all the positives that this method of juicing offers, but in an upright design.  The slow speed at which it operates enables this juicer to run extremely quiet, at speeds as low as 47 RPMs to safely preserve maximum enzymes, with it's 3-Stage speed reduction gears powered by a 200 Watt motor.
​
The Slowstar comes with a mincing attachment that makes it more versatile than most other upright models.  It comes in at 9 on our list, but it is a great juicer for anyone looking for bold styling and top notch juicing performance in a vertical design.

10. Hurom HU-100 Masticating Slow Juicer

The Hurom HU-100 maximizes the efficiency of auger based juicers by taking this concept much further. It processes vegetables, fruits, wheat grass and even soy with greater efficiency. Hurom's patented Slow Squeezing Technology™ (SST) gently squeezes ingredients, preserving natural taste & nutrients lost by high-speed juicers that grind and crush. Slow Squeezing Technology also retains heat-sensitive nutrients such as Vitamins A and C, and live enzymes. The result of this unique double juicing process is a higher yield and a much drier pulp. Compared to centrifugal juicers, the Hurom HU-100 manages to produces 50 percent more yield.

Cleaning this juicer is also easy with very little hassle involved to dismantle and clean.
