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.
