Squeeze an orange and you get juice. Blend one and you get everything, pulp included. That one difference is why choosing among the best juicer machines is less simple than it looks.
Some machines press out clear juice and leave the fibre behind, while others turn the whole fruit, ice and greens into a thick drink.
Best juicer machines worth buying
Gadinsider has compiled six machines that cover both approaches. Two are true juicers, from Elite Gourmet and Juilist. The other four are blenders from nutribullet, Ninja, KOIOS and Hamilton Beach, which are made for smoothies rather than pressed juice.
Between them they span a compact citrus press, a centrifugal juicer with a wide feed chute and a full kitchen system.
1. Elite Gourmet 24 oz electric citrus juicer
The Elite Gourmet is a compact electric citrus juicer with a 40W motor and an auto-reversing reamer. It is made for oranges, lemons, limes and grapefruit, and it has a built-in pour spout and pulp and seed filter.
Key features and specs
- Capacity: 24 oz (3 cups), enough for 2 to 3 servings, per Elite Gourmet
- Motor: 40W, which Elite Gourmet compares with typical 25W citrus juicers
- Extraction: Auto-reversing reamer with push-down activation
- Filter: Integrated pulp and seed filter
- Cleaning: Removable parts, top rack dishwasher safe; hand washing recommended for longest life
- Safety and materials: BPA-free, ETL listed
- Size: 7.28" x 5.71" x 7.68"
- Colour: Stainless steel
Performance
The reamer works in both clockwise and anti-clockwise motion, according to the maker of the product, and this ensures that more juice is squeezed out of each piece of the fruit. The reason why it is called the citrus press is because it works on half a fruit and not on fruits such as apples and carrots. With the filter and the spout, pouring becomes easier.
Pros
- Compact size suits small kitchens, dorms and RVs, per the listing
- Built-in pulp and seed filter and pour spout
- Removable parts are top rack dishwasher safe.
Cons
- Citrus fruit only
- 24 oz capacity suits two or three servings
- Hand washing is recommended for the longest product life
