Let the list begin!
#10 Breville BJS600XL Fountain Crush Masticating Slow Juicer
The benefit of a masticating juicer is that it can extract much more juice than a centrifugal juicer (we've listed some of those below).
"Chewing" juicers work slower, but get a lot more juice out of greens than other types of juicers. A masticating juicer is also much quieter and easier on the ears!
Breville makes awesome juicers, with a design that you'll be proud to have as a part of your kitchen. Here's the scoop:
Amazon Review Count: More than 590 Customer Ratings!
Average Customer Rating: 4.1 Stars
Pros:
- Masticating (chewing) juicer extracts the maximum amount of juice
- Able to get much more juice from harder to juice vegetables
- Breville's awesome design
- Very, very quiet
Cons:
- Slower than a centrifugal juicer
- Possibility of jamming if items haven't been pre-sliced enough (although proper cleaning keeps things running smoothly)
What Amazon reviewers are saying about it:
I had the Breville centrifugal juicer, and wanted to upgrade to a masticating type. This juicer is wonderful! I like that it's vertical, which allows me to fill a larger pitcher making two glasses at once if needed.
I can't begin to tell you how much I love this thing! I use it almost daily... I make about three or four 16oz bottles of juice every day. HIGHLY recommend it, especially at this price!

What reviewers are saying on Amazon:
"Five pounds of mixed berries yielded five pints of beautiful, tasty juice. I sweetened with about 1/2 cup sugar in the steamer basket. Cleanup was a breeze. Will definitely use this for crabapple jelly as well, beats the drip drip drip bag. The juice is quite concentrated and delicious mixed with soda water."
"I love this juicer steamer. Especially, it's good for making grape juice."

#4 Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juicing Machine
The Juice Fountain Plus is a great option if you don't want to go with the more expensive Juice Fountain Elite.
It's one of the best-selling centrifugal juicers on Amazon
Review Count: More than 16,000 Customer Ratings!
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 Stars
Pros:
- Fast, Fast, Fast
- Very easy to clean
- Wide feed chute, so you don't have to chop as much
- Dishwasher safe parts
- Plenty of power at 850 watts
Cons:
- More plastic parts than the Juice Fountain Elite, which uses more stainless steel
What customers have to say about it:
"The Breville JE98XL was our replacement to our decade old Jack Lalanne Juicer. Wow, what a difference. If I had known what I was missing I would have made the switch a long time ago. We get a lot more juice out of our fruits and veggies with the Breville than with the Jack Lalanne."
"For the price - you can't beat it. Mine has already paid for itself. We've juiced carrots, beets, cucumbers, grapes, blueberries, oranges (peel and refrigerate the oranges beforehand and it CAN juice them!), lemons, limes, ginger, celery, pineapple... the list goes on."

#3 Magic Bullet NutriBullet 12-Piece High-Speed Blender/Mixer System
I know, I know, it's a blender, but you can't ignore the huge number of reviews and the price of this smoothie and shake maker.
If most of what you juice would blend well anyway, and you'd like to add things that don't juice well (like bananas, nut butter or oats), this is the ticket to ride. The price is hard to beat.
Review Count: Over 26,000!
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars
Pros:
- Fast
- Conveniently sized. Don't underestimate how easy it is to store.
- Versatile with cups and blades to meet your needs
- Keeps the precious fiber where other juicers remove all the fiber and just extract the juice
Cons:
- Not as high capacity as the other juicers
- Is a blender, not a juicer
- Not made from all stainless steel like the more industrial juicers
Even though it's not technically a juicer, the NutriBullet can't be ignored and is a favorite of juice and smoothie lovers.

#2 Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain
If price is a big concern, the Breville BJE200XL comes in at #2 as a great value.

But if you want something a little more powerful, it's what we use all the time...
#1 Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor
The Breville 800JEXL is one of the top juicers (if not the top juicer) available for the home. It's the juicer we decided to buy for our home, and we love it.
To read our experience with the juicer and our in-depth review of the Breville 800JEXL, click here.
Quick info on the Breville 800JEXL:
Review Count: More than 6,200 Customer Ratings!
Average Customer Rating: 4.6 Stars
Pros:
- Faster and more powerful than almost every consumer-grade juicer out there at 1000 Watts and 13,000 RPM
- Super elegant and sleek design
- Pulp leftovers are dry indicating it's spun out almost all the juice possible
- Put in the whole fruit or vegetable even without peeling
- Dishwasher safe
- Stainless steel and titanium plating makes it sturdy and easier to clean
Cons:
- Yes, it is a little pricey
- Heavy with its stainless steel construction
However, it's also built to last.
It's the Cadillac of juicers, and it's oh so powerful.
Here's what customers are saying about it:
"This is BEST juicer I have ever owned"
"This is by far one of the world's GREATEST juicers."
"The juicer is made mostly of high quality steel, there are a couple plastic pieces, i.e. plunger and the pulp bin, but the construction is high quality. This is durable and will last."
So why the Breville 800JEXL?
The Breville 800JEXL is the juicer that after a lot of research, we purchased for our home.
We had used an older juicer previously, and the Breville is the ultimate upgrade.
The 800JEXL is faster, more efficient and much more powerful. For us, the Juice Fountain Elite is the number 1 juicer, hands down.
We like that it's big enough and fast enough that many fruits and veggies can go in the hopper without having to be chopped up into pieces.
We've been able to fit whole apples in there and it juices them in seconds.
We wanted a juicer that works fast. If juicing takes forever, plus all the time spent cutting up veggies, we knew we wouldn't do it as often. That's exactly what happened with our old, less-fancy juicer.
It's a beautiful addition to the kitchen, and guests compliment us on it when they see it. It's truly a work of art.
We've been happy with it and try to make juice every day, and we love using the Breville to do it.

Which Juicer Fits How You'll Use It?
The "best" juicer really depends on what you'll put in it. Here's a quick way to match the list to your kitchen:
- Fresh orange juice, lemonade or grapefruit juice: a citrus juicer does this better than anything else on the list. The Black+Decker is perfect for weekend OJ, and the Breville 800CPXL is built for daily squeezing.
- Green juice with kale, spinach or wheatgrass: go with a slow, masticating juicer like the Breville Fountain Crush or the Omega VRT350. They get much more out of leafy greens.
- Quick carrot-apple-ginger juice before work: a centrifugal juicer like the Juice Fountain Plus or our Juice Fountain Elite is fast, and whole apples go right in.
- Big batches of grape or berry juice for jelly or canning: the Cook N Home steam juicer handles pounds of fruit at a time, with no chopping.
- Smoothies that keep the fiber: the NutriBullet.
And don't toss the pulp! Carrot pulp works well in muffins and quick breads, veggie pulp can go into soup or homemade broth, and whatever's left makes great compost.
One more tip: juice from a centrifugal juicer tastes best right away, so make what you'll drink that day. Juice from a masticating juicer tends to hold up a little longer in a sealed jar in the fridge.
