The die cast stainless steel juicing cone features a unique Quadra-Fin technology with multi-tiered fins that allows it to juice citrus fruits of all sizes efficiently and quickly. Two stainless steel filters allow you to adjust the amount of pulp in the juice as well.

It's not just juicing technology that makes the Breville a winner. The press, which measures 14 x 17 x 10 inches (width x height x diameter), has a stainless steel spout that flips up to prevent drips. Weighing 20 lbs, it may be easier to clean the Breville in the dishwasher, although it can also be cleaned by hand.

Solid Construction Makes For Easy Cleaning

Despite the price, more than one review felt that money spent on the Breville was well spent. The press was highly praised for its construction, which used stainless steel where it was most important, such as for the juicing cone. An added benefit of stainless steel was that it made the press very easy to clean. Users reported that the press never stained even after frequent use.

Not only was the stainless steel easy to clean, the design of the press itself meant that the entire upper half of the press was easy to remove from the handle and wash after use, making cleanup convenient, and not a chore. Juice enthusiasts concerned with cleanliness especially appreciated the secure anti-drip spout, which made cleanup even easier.

Easy, Powerful Operation Produces Pulp-Free Juice

Users found operation of the Breville press to be incredibly easy. Its large handle made it convenient to use, as it did not require great strength to activate. Many a review writer liked the "limitless" torque of the 110W motor immensely, and juicing was as easy, quiet and efficient an operation as the manufacturer promised. One user reported only having to use a moderate amount of pressure to extract all the juice from an orange.

Another feature of the press that users liked was how well the strainers lived up to the producer's promises. The fine strainer ensured that virtually no pulp found its way into the juice, while the "coarse" strainer actually let only a modest amount of pulp though, which was a boon for those who enjoy pulp-free juice.

Strainers May Be Too Shallow

Frequent juicers found that periodic emptying of the strainers was advisable if they wanted to do a lot of juicing, as the pulp strainers are rather shallow. However, the same users also noted that pulp only accumulated to "blockage" levels after at least four glasses of juice were obtained, which wouldn't pose a problem for more moderate users. However, the pulp produced still contained a distinct amount of juice, so they felt that juice extraction could be improved.

Accompanied with a wide feed tube to accommodate a variety of fruits and firm vegetables, the Champion's juicer parts, made from FDA-accepted nylon and stainless steel, are sure to last for years. While the juicer isn't meant for leafy greens and wheatgrass, the heavy-duty front and rear ball bearing installation guarantee smooth operation and production of coconut milk, fruit sauces, nut butter, baby food, sherbet and ice cream as quickly as it produces juice. The motor also runs cooler thanks to the added winding capacity that increases starting torque, enabling the juicer to perform well even with heavy usage.

Champion Commercial Juicer G5-PG-710 - BLACK MODEL (MAR-48C) List Price: $289.99 Sale Price: $260.87

Durable Nylon Parts, Virtually Clog-Proof

People who used the juicer were impressed with its durability. More than one review writer found that the nylon parts were more flexible and durable than mere molded plastic. They also felt the nylon cutting-cone was a good idea, as it was not as sharp as that of a centrifugal juicer, making the Champion safer to use. Users also found it easy to use the juicer, as they only needed to use the slightest pressure to feed food through the feed chute in to the continuously turning cone.

Another feature that users liked about the Champion juicer was how the appliance never clogged with pulp. The structure of the masticating juicer ensured that pulp was discarded out one end, separate from the juice produced. One user found that he could juice for hours as long as he set the juicer over a large pulp container. The same user also noted that the juicer never overheated, became clogged or jammed no matter how long it was used.

Quiet Operation, Produces Great Juice

Aside from the quiet operation and easy assembly, review writers found that the mastication extraction ensured complete juice extraction. The pulp that emerged was only slightly damp, and the masticating action reduced the amount of foam the juice contained.

The juicer also lived up the manufacturer's claim of being a durable appliance. One user reported having used the appliance for more than two years, and that it worked as well as the day it was first used. The chore of cleaning up needs about 2 minutes, even when done by hand with cool water and a bottle brush.

Takes Up a Lot of Space

While the Champion is a good juicer, its size and weight as a commercial-grade appliance means that movement and storage can be a problem. Most users resorted to clearing a space on their kitchen counter on which the juicer could be placed permanently. Due to this, this juicer may be more suitable for frequent juicers.

Thanks to the auger juicing style, the juice extracted is smooth, foam and pulp-free, and of a consistent texture. The slower extraction rate means that juices don't lose any of their antioxidants or vitamins to heat. In addition to this, the Hurom takes up a minimal amount of counter space, and its self-cleaning screen holder makes cleaning up a breeze.

Hurom HU-100 Slow Juicer, Snow White List Price: $399.00 Sale Price: Too low to display Used From: $333.49

Fast Juicing, Nutrient-Rich Juice

People who used the Hurom were happy to find that the juicer actually as juiced quickly as a centrifugal juicer and was extremely easy to use. Review writers who were tired of having to force carrots in to their juicers were pleased that the Hurom's quiet auger motion actually drew produce in. One user in particular was taken with how the Hurom's design ensured that the auger never became clogged with pulp.

Juicers who were particular about the quality of their juice liked the Hurom juicer, with more than one review writer citing the fact that it juiced leafy vegetables without any problem as the reason. Juicier produce such as cucumbers and apples were also juiced with no problem either. Users also reported that juicing efficiency was high, as the pulp produced contained relatively little moisture. As the manufacturer promised, the juice remained cool, was practically foam-free, while the dual-stage pulp screens ensured that only a minimal amount of pulp wound up in the juice.

Looks Good, Easy To Clean

Users also liked the appearance of the Hurom, which they felt was attractive and small enough to leave out on a kitchen counter top. However, it was also easy to store the juicer thanks to its small size. More than one review found the self-cleaning feature very helpful if a person didn't want flavors to mix. They thought that just clearing the juicer with 2-3 cups of water was a great timesaver compared to disassembling the juicer for cleaning. It also made it easier to clean the juicer afterwards.

Actual cleaning of the juicer was also a fuss-free chore. Most users found that it took only 3-5 minutes to rinse and wash the removable parts by hand. Owners of the juicer found that a spray of warm soapy water was sufficient to clean the juicer thoroughly.

Doesn't Deal Well With Whole Produce

Users who were pressed for time found it tiresome to have to cut their produce in to sizes small enough to fit in to the feed chute. Those who didn't do so found that fibrous vegetables like celery would clog up the auger, reduce juicing efficiency and cause leaks around the lower seal. Putting in whole fruit also caused the juicer to collect pulp quickly and jam.

The CitrusMate is designed for citrus fruits both large and small. It comes with large and small cones that enable the most comprehensive juicing of fruits like lemons and limes to oranges and grapefruits. For maximum extraction, the reamer is automatically self-reversing, and a stirrer presses as much juice as possible from the remaining pulp. Adjustable settings also enable users to determine how much pulp winds up in the juice as well.

Black & Decker CJ525 CitrusMate Plus Citrus Juicer List Price: $19.99

Compact Size, Thorough Juicing

Reviews about the Black and Decker juicer were happy about how its small size made it easy to store. The lightweight design also made it less of a chore to carry out juicing, so the juicer would never gather dust in the back of a storage cupboard. As one satisfied review stated, the juicing cones also make it extremely easy to juice all possible sizes of citrus fruits, and with a minimum of stress and effort.

Households in which a lot of juicing was carried out were also pleased with the Black and Decker. This was especially true where family members had different preferences regarding the amount of pulp in their juice. Whether it was clear juice, slightly pulpy or so full of pulp it was chewable, the juicer was capable of providing for diverse demands. Additionally, the remaining fruit pulp was always dry, proving that the juicer lived up to the manufacturer's promise of efficient juicing.

Intelligent Spout Setup Complements Quiet Operation

Not only did the juicer do a magnificent job of juicing, the easy-pour spout and pitcher setup meant that juices produced were easily poured into a glass or another container for storage. One of the things that users liked best about the Black and Decker was how easy it was to clean. The strainer was easy to disassemble and took only minutes to clean under a tap.

Users also liked how only gentle pressure was needed to operate the juicer constantly, even for long durations. As such, they appreciate the lack of physical strain that accompanied operations. One reviewer reported having used the Black and Decker CitrusMate for years and that the quiet motor still ran as well as it did on its first day of use.

Too Lightweight For Some, Not Powerful Enough For Others

There was a review or two that noted the small, lightweight juicer wasn't very sturdy, and would move around when it was used. Others felt that, while wraparound cord storage was convenient, the short length of the power cord itself limited the areas in which the juicer could be used. There were also complaints that the motor was not very strong, and could be brought almost to a halt with the application of strong pressure.

Measuring 14.5 x 10 x 18 inches (height x diameter x width) and weighing 9.6 lbs, the solid Hamilton juicer comes with a 20-ounce juice cup into which the extracted juice can flow. Die cast metal lid locking latches keep the cover securely fastened while juicing is in progress. The juice extractor also keeps pulp out of a refreshing drink with a stainless steel micromesh strainer basket to give you a clearer glass of juice. Cleaning up is easy as the parts are dishwasher-safe and the strainer basket easily brushed clean.

Conveniently Wide Feed Chute, More Thorough Juicing

As promised by Hamilton, the affordable juice extractor is easy to set up and disassemble. Some users found the operation so simple that they didn't even have to read the manual.

More than one review writer thought the extra wide feed chute was a very convenient feature as it allowed users to toss in whole apples and heads of broccoli, and cut down on the time spent chopping up produce to fit into the 3 inch wide chute. The powerful motor, combined with the durable juicing blades, ensured that the juicer could produce up to 24% more juice than standard juice extractors could.

The thorough juicing also resulted in a drier pulp, which could be added back into the juice for a more nutrient-rich beverage. This last step was unavoidable for users who preferred some pulp in their juice, as the extra-fine strainer kept out all bulky fruit and vegetable pieces, rendering juice fine and smooth.

Easy To Clean, Surprisingly Quiet

Users also found that cleaning up the Hamilton juice extractor a relatively stress free process. It was easy to dispose of the pulp, which is filtered in to a large separate bin that can be lined with a plastic bag. Although the manufacturer states that the appliance is dishwasher-safe, brushing out the strainer basket was not a time consuming process at all. People who used the Hamilton found that it took as little as 5 minutes to clean by hand, which was a great time saver.

With such a powerful motor, there were fears that the juicer would be very noisy during operation. However, users were happy to report that it was, in fact, much quieter than a standard blender. The weight of the juice extractor dampens any sound or vibrations that the motor might create, and ensures that the juicer doesn't travel or wobble along the kitchen counter while in use.

Juicing Softer Fruit May Take More Time

For some users, the Hamilton Big Mouth performed better when used to juice hard fruit. Soft fruit like watermelon or vegetables such as spinach weren't juiced as thoroughly as they would have liked, although running the resulting pulp through the juicer again enabled a more thorough extraction.

Thanks to intelligent control, the Breville can extract more juice, and in a much shorter time compared to other juicers. The extra-wide feed tube reduces prep time by enabling users to juice whole fruits. Measuring 16 x 9 x 16 inches (height x diameter x width) and weighing a sturdy 16.8 lbs, the dishwasher-safe Breville also has a delicate touch; its stainless steel micromesh filter keeps pulp out of the juice, and the accompanying jug and froth separator allow users greater control over their juice.

Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor List Price: $249.99 Sale Price: $199.95 Used From: $185.95

Easy To Assemble, Maximum Juice Extraction

Users found the Breville juicer extremely to set up thanks to the fact that it only has 3 pieces to fit together. One review likened the three parts, together with the acrylic pitcher, pulp catcher and produce tamper to pieces of a jigsaw that fit together perfectly.

People who used the juicer also found the greatly reduced prep time very convenient. The wide feed chute allowed a person to fit in several carrots at once, and fruits like apples and pears could be thrown in whole. Juice extraction was also thorough; producing impressively dry pulp after juicing was complete.

Although centrifugal juicers in general do better with firm fruit rather than soft vegetables, the variable speeds ensured maximum extraction of juice from any produce a person used. As such, the variable speed motor was a feature that met with most users' approval. Operation was also quiet for such a powerful motor.

Sturdy Construction, Easy To Clean

People who used the Breville juicer felt that its construction justified the price. One user reported using the appliance constantly for years without any problems. The juicer also comes with a locking bar to check accidental startup by preventing the motor from starting if it's not in the lock position. Users also found the intelligent power requirement controls helpful as they made it easier to extract juices according to the load.

As promised by Breville, cleaning up is extremely easy. Most users reported that the micromesh filter was the most difficult part to clean, although made easier by the accompanying brush. As the pulp is filtered into a separate container, in which fits a plastic bag, cleaning the Breville Ikon by hand took only 5 minutes, or no time at all if the user opts to clean it in a dishwasher. Fruit or vegetable residue doesn't remain in the chute or juicer as all parts are devoid of hard-to-reach crannies.

Low Speed May Be Too Fast For Some

One review writer felt that the Breville operates at quite a high speed, finding that soft produce was "ejected" back up the chute if the plunger isn't immediately replaced. The resulting mess can be off-putting, so caution is advisable when juicing softer items.

The masticating juicer, which measures 14.5 x 6.5 x 15.5 inches (length x width x height), weighs a mere 16.4 lbs and promises durability and a near-silent operation. The juicer's automatic pulp-ejection function also facilitates continuous juicing.

Its low rotation speed of 80-rpm may seem insignificant, but it is this very feature that ensures thorough mastication of the fruits and vegetables it processes. This allows full extraction of all the vitamins and minerals that make juice drinks so appealing.

The low rotation speed maintains low temperatures to keep vital enzymes active while also preventing foaming and clogging of the blades. The Omega's dual-stage juicing system ensures maximum extraction efficiency, making for high juice yield and especially dry pulp.

Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer, Black and Chrome List Price: $390.00 Sale Price: $279.99 Used From: $278.07

Extremely High, Thorough Juice Output

Fans of the Omega juicer noted that the patented auger made a big difference when it came to juice output as compared to other types of juicers. One review writer found that the dual-stage design produced a much higher volume of clear apple juice that was completely free of pulp. The juice was also less exposed to air thanks to the low motor speed. This resulted in less oxidation and a slower "browning" process. As promised, the resulting juice was also less foamy.

As the feed chute is rather narrow, fruit has to be cut into smaller slices before being fed into the juicer. Users of the Omega masticator found that this allowed for a higher rate of juice extraction. The designers of the Omega juicer also took into account the possibility of a food item becoming stuck in the extraction tube. As such, they designed the auger to be reversible and controlled by the power switch in the back of the appliance.

Easy Cleanup, Quiet Operation

Quite a few review writers praised the Omega for being very easy to clean. Cleaning up was a quick process as the parts are small and smooth. This was especially convenient, as food wouldn't become stuck in hidden nooks and crannies. While sturdy and durable, the machine is also compact, so it didn't take up a lot of space on users' kitchen counters.

Aside from being extremely quiet, its low rpm speed also means that it can juice both hard and soft produce, which adds variety to a juice aficionado's diet. Users found that even though the extraction process was slow, it helped to preserve the vitamins, minerals and enzymes in the juices extracted. In addition to maximum extraction efficiency, the juice extracted also looked brighter, cleaner and possessed flavors with more nuance and depth than that extracted by other juicers.

Plastic Shavings May Cause Worry

Some users were alarmed when they found nicks and scratches on the auger during cleaning. The part is made from a very strong, amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide that offer high heat and chemical resistance, and users felt squeamish at the thought of having ingested the substance. However, plastic shavings were not evident in the juice produced, and subsequent damage did not appear on the auger with subsequent use.

Measuring 17 x 11 x 20 inches (width x diameter x height) and weighing almost 21 lbs, the Breville chews up any quantity of produce via the 3-inch wide feed tube. The unique design, where the feed tube centers directly over the cutter, facilitates the power the juicer uses to produce 8 ounces of juice in less than 5 seconds. The Breville's die-cast steel housing ensures durability and dishwasher-safe parts, such as the pulp container and juicing pitcher and stainless steel micromesh filter, make cleaning a snap. Safety is also a priority, where locking arm bolts ensure the locking arm fits snugly.

Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor List Price: $399.99 Sale Price: $299.95 Used From: $200.00

Easy To Assemble, Greatly Reduces Prep Time

Owners found the Breville was simple to assemble. Despite its impressive size, there were only 3 pieces to fit together. Cleaning was also extremely easy thanks to it being dishwasher-safe, and was a point mentioned in more than one review. Owners also particularly liked the stainless steel exterior, which resisted staining from things like carrot juice, and was easily wiped clean. Others also found the juicer easy to clean by hand.

Users appreciated the presence of the extra-wide feed chute, which saved time by allowing them to put in fruits and vegetables without having to cut them up first. They also found that the power of the Breville was such that they didn't have to push very hard to get the produce down the chute, or wait long for juice to be extracted. In fact, all they only had keep the chute covered to prevent "back splash".

Juice Tastes Better, High Juicing Efficiency

More than one review felt that the juices extracted tasted much better, fresher and less oxidized compared to that from other juicers. Some users thought the accompanying foam separator, which ensured a minimal amount of foam made its way into the juice, was unnecessary, as the resulting juice was unusually clear.

People who used the Breville were very impressed with the cutting blade and knife assembly design, which never slowed down even when there were large loads of produce to juice, nor did it ever sound like it had difficulty coping. Juice extraction efficiency was high, as the pulp produced was very dry. Additionally, the juicer is equipped with a safety device that ensures it doesn’t overheat with excessive loads.

Can Be Too Big For Some Kitchens, Feed Chute Takes Some Getting Used To

One aspect that more than one review writer found most glaring about the juicer was the size. Its large size might make it unsuitable for small counter tops or cramped kitchens.

Other users found they needed time to get accustomed to the positioning of the feed chute; they were unprepared for the possibility that produce could actually be ejected back up the feeding tube. Some also felt that the space between the bottom of the feed tube and blade assembly was too wide, which could cause inefficient juicing.

The 80-rpm rotation speed ensures the juicer quietly and thoroughly chews up all plant matter, whether it's an apple or a bunch of wheat grass, and extracts the maximum amount of juice, vitamins and minerals. The low speed also means that the extracted juice is minimally heated and oxidized, helping to preserve the integrity of bioactive enzymes and makes for a healthier drink. In addition to an auto pulp-ejection mechanism that ensures continuous juicing, the juicer also averts clogging with a silicone wiper blade that clears the micromesh filter of excess pulp.

Omega VRT330 Dual-Stage Vertical Single-Auger Low-Speed Juicer List Price: $400.00 Sale Price: $319.00 Used From: $250.00

Impressively Solid, Extremely Quiet Operation

Users commented that the juicer looked impressively solid. The heavy gauge plastic was not flimsy at all and the entire appliance is much heavier than similar kitchen appliances. Although it was tall compared to other juicers, the Omega actually has a modest footprint and easily fits onto a kitchen counter or inside most kitchen cabinets.

A sizable number of review writers found the Omega easy to use, and that the accompanying produce tamp was practically superfluous. This was because the design of the juicer was such that it automatically pulled food towards the juicing system. Users found that, as the juice extractor squeezes, rather than chops up the produce, the juicer is extremely quiet when in use and a relief for those who expected a cacophony.

Yields "Crisper" Juice, Extremely Useful Self-Cleaning Feature

Those who used the Omega juicer immediately noticed the difference in juice quality compared to juice obtained from centrifugal juicers. The squeezing/crushing mechanism ensured that the remaining pulp was extremely dry, while there was virtually no froth in the juice itself. Flavor wise, all juices rendered, whether carrot, apple or orange, tasted extremely crisp, fresh and "bright". Review writers felt it was as though the juicer had concentrated the flavors of the entire fruit almost tenfold.

Although the Omega juices slowly, people who used it felt it actually produced juice at a rate comparable to that of a centrifugal juicer. The reverse mode was also a helpful feature, as a user could reverse any stuck food and push it through the masticator again without losing any time at all. Cleanup of the Omega was surprisingly easy, as it was easy to disassemble and reassemble, and the self-cleaning feature meant that users spent less time cleaning out the filter mesh.

Too Costly For Some

At $350, the Omega is not a cheap appliance. Although it is a price worth paying for heavy-duty construction, durability, ease of use and the production of an excellent batch of juice, individuals who have a casual interest in juicing may find the expense hard to justify.

Not only is it one of the largest juicers available, the Breville is also one of the easiest to clean thanks to its removable parts. A dedicated large capacity slide out pulp container fits a regular grocery bag to collect pulp and seeds for easy disposal or composting after several minutes of nonstop juicing. The stainless steel micro-mesh strainer ensure a minimum of pulp in the juice and the provided juice container has a froth separator so you can decide how much froth you want in your cup.

Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor List Price: $169.99 Used From: $169.00

Enables Large-Scale Juicing Sprees

People who bought the Breville juicer found that its sturdy construction was well worth the money. They were also happy that the stainless steel strainer mesh was solid and that plastic was used only on sections were wear and tear was minimal.

One review writer felt that the design of the power cord was especially thoughtful, as it made allowance for use of the Breville on a crowded countertop. The design allowed identification by touch, enabling users to unplug the juicer with a minimum of fuss even when it was hidden behind other appliances.

Users were also enthusiastic about the extra-wide feeder tube, as it reduced prep time considerably by allowing the user to feed whole fruit into the juicer, and facilitated continuous juicing. Hard produce such as pineapple, broccoli and apple cores posed no problem for the Breville either.

Thorough Juicing, Easy To Clean

Juicing was also very thorough; users found that the pulp produced contained very little moisture. Despite complaints that the motor was too noisy, most users felt that its power made operation very quick, cutting down substantially on the noise produced. One user felt thought that the foam separator was a great idea as well, and the juice produced was delicious.

As promised by Breville, the Juice Fountain was easy to clean. One user found it "almost a joy", while another timed the entire prep-juice-drink-cleanup-reassemble process and was impressed to find it only took 15 minutes to complete. That the juicer came with its own scrub brush was an added bonus. Stainless steel material notwithstanding, the mesh screen was easy to remove and replace, which reduced time spent cleaning up.

Thorough Cleaning Required, Can Be Bulky

There was more than one review where disgruntled users reported that the base into which the blade snaps became difficult to remove and replace with frequent use. The improperly replaced piece can cause noise, stripped plastic parts and damage to the juicer itself. Fortunately, the remedy is to clean the ball bearings with a damp sponge to maintain performance. Additionally, the juicer is rather large, so some users found that it took up a lot of space on their counter tops.
