Top 5 Centrifugal Juicers in 2021

Advertising Disclosure

Staying in shape to meet the demands of your lifestyle calls for a healthy diet. Naturally, this will include the goodness of fruits and vegetables. An easy way to do this is to have a juicer handy, so you can benefit from creating your own recipes.

Juicing is a quick and hassle-free way for all of us to enjoy the nutritious value found in fruits and vegetables. In short, it extracts the goodness and leaves the fiber behind, which would otherwise require more time and energy to break down in your digestive system.

Athletes with demanding practice and training schedules benefit greatly from including juicing in their dietary program. The elimination of fiber through juicing means they will not be bulked down but will be able to process the nutritious juice in a much shorter time.  Different juices can be created to preference or specific requirements, whether to boost energy levels, improve blood circulation, improve cognitive ability, or tone muscles during training sessions.

There are two types of domestic juicers to consider; centrifugal and masticating juicers. A third, called a triturating juicer, is used by commercial juice outlets. It is bulky and expensive but extracts the most juice from fruits and greens alike.

Centrifugal juicers operate with shedding blades and rely on the speed of the blades to break down fruits and greens effectively. This is a big time-saver as they are much faster in terms of RPMs which translates to less time spent juicing. Not only this, they tend to be less expensive and less noisy, but more importantly, they are rated as the better option to juice fruits like oranges, pineapples and other juicy fruits. But, let’s not forget about the great job they do with carrots and lighter greens like celery.

Masticating juicers use a spiral auger to crush fruits and greens that mimic a chewing action. This masticating action proves to be better at extracting juice from leafy greens as the breakdown of the greens produces less heat and is more thorough. Leafy greens are made up of fiber, and the fiber strands can cause issues in the juicing process. Although they may be more costly, the extra investment means you can comfortably juice leafy greens and fruits without worrying about how your juicing recipe will turn out.

Both types of juicers are designed to extract the juice and discard the leftover pulp. Selecting the right type of juicer to compliment your lifestyle can be a daunting task, especially with the large variety of juicer brands and models on the market.

Before I give you a rundown of the top five juicers of 2021, let’s take a look at what could be a frustrating and time-consuming part of juicing – Cleaning and washing your juicer.

How to properly clean a juicer

Cleaning any household appliance directly after use should be an automatic and standard chore. However, when in a rush, many of us often leave the cleaning for later. This can make cleaning your juicer more time consuming as you have to deal with hardened pulp and juice stains in the containers. In addition, it promotes bacterial growth in your juicer and can lead to health issues.

If you use your juicer daily or a few times a week, then a thorough cleaning at the end of the week is advisable.

When you purchase a juicer, take the time to read the manufactures instructions. Pay attention to safety warnings and follow the cleaning instructions as recommended. Some juicers are dishwasher friendly, but some components must be washed by hand.

After-use cleaning

Clean your juicer directly after use. Here is a helpful step by step guide:

  1. Unplug the power to the juicer.
  2. Remove the juice and pulp containers as well as the lid, blades or grinding mechanism, strainer, and plunger.
  3. Scrape out the contents of the pulp container. Pulp is often used in other recipes and can be stored in a food-safe bag. Alternatively, you can use the pulp in your compost pile or discard it directly into your trash bin.
  4. Wash the components in warm soapy water and rinse afterwards.
  5. Clean the base of the juicer with a squeezed out damp sponge.
  6. Dry and reassemble your juicer for the next use.

Pay attention to the strainer or mesh as the holes clog up easily. Clogged holes will result in sub-par juice yields in the future as well as create a good breeding environment for bacteria. You might want to hold the strainer up against the light to ensure all the holes are clean and free of any stubborn residue. Once all the components are clean, rinse and dry them with a microfibre cloth to avoid watermarks and streaks.

Weekly deep-cleaning

Deep cleaning is necessary to remove any unchecked build-up of bacteria fostering grim hidden away in your juicer. It also takes care of stains and stubborn watermarks.

Add baking soda to your normal wash routine. Dab a cleaning brush into dry baking soda and scrub all the components of the juicer. It acts as a gentle abrasive and will loosen up and remove grim.

Simply use diluted white vinegar and soak the containers and other components for about 15 minutes to remove watermarks.  Give them a once over with a non-abrasive sponge, rinse, dry with a microfibre dish towel, and reassemble your juicer.

Here are our top five juicer picks:

1. Best Overall: Breville BJE530BSS Juice Fountain Cold Plus Centrifugal Juicer

Price: $249.95 on Amazon.

The Breville Juice Fountain Cold Plus is a space-saving brushed stainless-steel juicer. A big plus point is the incorporated Cold Spin Technology that prevents the breakdown of vitamins and minerals from heat.

What we liked

  • The 3.5-inch whole fruit chute which saves on preparation time.
  • The pulp bin is behind the base, effectively reducing the counter space needed for the juicer.
  • The large-capacity juice container has a sealable lid that allows your juice to be refrigerated in the container for up to three days.
  • The juice nozzle allows easy transfer to a glass without messing and can be inverted to prevent juice drips.
  • Easy to use. Cleaning the juicer is a breeze, as taking it apart and reassembling it is also super easy.
  • Comes with a froth separator and easy cleaning brush as well as a 1-year limited product warranty.

What we didn’t like

  • When juicing celery, the mesh clogs up with fibre rather quickly.
  • The large chute does not totally eliminate preparation time as cherry, and other hard fruit pits should be removed to prevent possible damage to the blades.

2. Editors Pick: Cuisinart CJE-1000 Die-Cast Juice Extractor

Price: $179.95 from Amazon.

Picked for its value which should not be confused with the affordable price, this centrifugal juicer hits home runs with all the well thought out design features. Cuisinart has been in the industry a long time, and this shows in the quality of their products.

What we liked

  • The foam reducing filter basket.
  • The parts are dishwasher safe, and high heat washing kills and removes bacterial growth.
  • The 5-speed settings coupled with a powerful 1000-watt motor makes juicing all types of juicing ingredients easy.
  • A blue LED light ring shows what speed setting has been selected.
  • The 3-inch feeding chute.
  •  It has a 2-liter pulp container and is just short of a 1-liter (1 quart) juice container which is big enough for a juicing session.
  • It’s quiet, and cleaning is easy. The juicer comes with a cleaning brush.

What we didn’t like

  • The standard plug and electricity input is only built for US standards.
  • The juice dispensing spout does not indicate the open and closed positions.

3. Best Budget Option: Hamilton Beach Juicer Machine

Price: $64.99 from Amazon.

If you’re new to juicing, then this hardy affordable centrifugal juicer will make juicing a pleasurable experience. The counter space-saving and powerful motor makes juicing easy for beginners.

What we liked

  • The 800-watt motor produces enough power to juice vegetables like beet, carrots and celery without issues.
  • The large 3-inch feed chute means reduced preparation time, but oranges and lemons should be peeled first.
  • It is a stylish juicer for the price and super easy to clean; it is dishwasher safe and BPA free.
  • The 3-year limited warranty confirms it is a robust juicer.

What we didn’t like

  • The juicer is rather noisy and can be annoying, especially with early morning juicing sessions.
  • No foam control, which can put some users off.
  • The single-speed is too fast for softer fruits, and the pulp still being wet has to be processed a second or third time.

4. The Best of the Rest: Mueller Austria Juicer Ultra Power

Price: $69.97 from Amazon.

The Mueller Austria Juicer Ultra Power is a close runner up to the Cuisinart for the best budget option. It’s a compact juicer with all the trimmings of bulkier juicers, and the powerful motor with the dual-speeds makes juicing a breeze.

What we liked

  • The safety locking arm ensures the cover stays on while operating.
  • The 3-inch feed chute.
  • Overload protection cuts off the motor to prevent damage and overheating.
  • Dual speeds; low from 1200 to 1500 RPM and High from 1500 to 1800 RPM.
  • The anti-drip function, easy assembly, and cleaning.

What we didn’t like

  • The overload protection is great but can be a bit sensitive.

5. Our final pick: Kuvings NJ-9500U Centrifugal Juice Extractor

Price: $149.95 from Amazon.

This Kuvings juice extractor is compact and practical to use. With up to 11000 RMP, juicing the most difficult fibre-based ingredients puts little strain on the motor.

  • The dual-speed function both with high RPM to juice in seconds.
  • Safety locking arm and it will not operate unless all the components are correctly fitted.
  • 3-year warranty.
