Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL
(*est. $300) |
Best juicer overall.
The big advantage to the Breville juicer is its 1000-watt motor and extra wide, three-inch feeder tube, which means users can skip chopping food into smaller pieces. Reviews say the elegant-looking aluminum Breville juicer is efficient at squeezing the most juice from produce. It is easy to clean, with dishwasher-safe parts. The Brevelle juicer comes with a one-year warranty (three years on the motor), shorter than that on the L'Equip (below), but the cheaper L'Equip juicer has a smaller chute and is made of plastic. |
• L'Equip 110.5 Mini Pulp Ejector Juicer
(*est. $100) |
Best budget juice extractor.
The L'Equip is the best budget juicer, say reviews, but since it has a smaller feeder tube than the Breville, you must chop fruit into small pieces. Like most juice extractors, the compact L'equip, uses centrifugal force to separate juice, ejecting pulp into a basket for emptying. The L'Equip juicer has a six-year warranty, making it an even better value. In recent tests, reviews recommend the L'Equip to the popular Juiceman II and Jack LaLanne juice extractors. |
• Braun MPZ22 Citromatic Deluxe
(*est. $25)
|
Citrus juicer.
If you're only interested in making citrus juices like orange, lemon and grapefruit, the Braun Citromatic citrus juicer will do the trick, dispensing unlimited quantities of juice directly into a glass or pitcher. The Braun is merely an electric version of a hand reamer, and can't juice anything other than citrus. You'll need a juice extractor, such as the models above, if you want to juice vegetables or other fruits. |
• Acme Supreme Juicerator 5001
(*est. $180)
|
Most efficient.
Unlike the Breville and L'Equip juicers above, the Acme doesn't automatically eject the fibrous leftover pulp, so it's a bit more difficult to clean. However, reviews say holding onto the pulp longer squeezes an extra 20% to 35% yield over ejection models like the L'Equip and Breville. Experts say this can be a money-saver if you make a lot of juice. So more difficult cleaning is the trade-off for a more efficient juicer. |
• Omega 8005
(*est. $240)
|
Masticating juice extractor.
The Omega 8005 juicer is a single-auger, masticating juice extractor. It crushes produce to a pulp then squeezes out the juice. Reviews say this kind of extractor is very versatile. In addition to juice, it can make pasta, baby food, nut butters and wheat grass juice -- tasks that centrifugal models can't do. The Omega 8005 is more versatile, performing some functions on par with a food processor. |
• Green Star 3000
(*est. $400) |
Twin-gear press juice extractor.
If your diet depends on living and raw foods, especially hard-to-extract juices like wheatgrass and spinach, as well as fibrous veggies like beets, reviews say the Green Star was designed for you. This model's twin-gear-press extractor means juices are literally pressed out between two gears, using low rpm. This equals less oxidation and higher quality juice. The Green Star juicer also makes nut butters, pasta and baby food, extending its functionality beyond juice. |

yeah the breville looks very good. but you should know that it turns at a very very high rpm and that is what SOME say kills the nutrients due to heating, but quite frankly i am not sold on that theory. it also has a 3/4 hp motor, which i really like, as opposed to the lallane juicer which has a 1/4 hp motor. and i like that fact that it is stainless steel as opposed to plastic. it looks like the kind of juicer that would really last, but i have never used one. it looks like there are good deals on that juicer on ebay.

The Juiceman II also has a high rpm and is 1/2 horsepower with stainless steel... Though not as high rpm as the Breville. I am actually considering either another Juiceman II or the Omega. I've been dreaming about those nut butters...

| I second the Breville recommendation. It's an awesome juicer, creating frothy juices, with good extraction and design.

I love the reviews and would like to offer some insight into these products and product lines. First these are all great products for a purpose, but one noted downside of a twin gear juice extractor are the never ending adjustments that need to be made to the set screw. It is difficult to find that sweet spot, and then to retain it. I personally much prefer a model that is quick and efficient. Who wants to wait 10, 15, or even 20 minutes for a full pitcher of juice. I for one juice so that I can enjoy it's freshness, and save time on receiving the necessary vitamin intake that my body desires.
The Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite was not only this reviewers choice, but also the Consumer Search Award winner for the past four years in a row, as TOP Juice Extractor in it's price category. Featuring a titanium plated blade, for longer durability, a froth separator in the pitcher, and so much more.
