Kitchenaid Maximum Extraction Juicer Onyx Black

Product Information

Do you have big juice needs, but a small space? Keep your eye out for terms like “vertical,” which help indicate a smaller footprint, and will mean less space taken up on your counter. If you only plan on juicing occasionally, the device’s weight may also be a factor, so you can take it in and out of storage without straining. A user-friendly machine that’s easy to clean with machine-washable parts will help ensure that it gets regular use. The beauty of a manual machine is that you have full control over the texture and consistency of the finished product. In addition, some people feel that because cold-press juicing with a manual machine eliminates heat, the enzymes and nutrients of ingredients are preserved. However, there are no scientific studies supporting these claims at this time.

I know centrifugal juicers are losing their population, but there are still decent models out there. This is, I believe, the one in a million.

I don’t see any annoyance when chatting and using this machine simultaneously. It produces less vibration for less noise and more stability. Another major perk of the Original Healthy Juicer is the machine's 30-second cleanup regimen. Simply unscrew the parts and rinse clean. Unlike most juicers, this unit does not include an internal mesh screen, so cleanup is a breeze. This unit features three custom pulp control settings so you can control exactly how much pulp is—or isn't—in your juice. The Cuisinart Pulp Control Citrus Juicer is easy to operate and clean, and all the removable parts are dishwasher-safe and BPA-free. Less suitable than slow juicers for soft fruits such as berries and leafy greens, although some have slower speed settings or special 'soft fruit' discs to help with this The juicer is intuitive to assemble thanks to the design of the strainer that only allows you to insert it into the juicing chamber one way. The 3-inch wide chute can fit large pieces of fruits and veggies, and a smaller section accommodates thinner ingredients. The mechanism is also easier to clean than others which are typically narrower with more pieces and crevices.

If you have some time to spend for more juice, a masticating juicer fits you. Nutrition-loss is not a huge problem with a masticating juicer as there is no heat formation during the process. The juice is better for preserve in the fridge for up to 72 hours. So, if you have like an hour for juicing, throwing a bunch of things into it, and prepare juice for that day, this type is the best choice. The Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer may be on the pricier side, but it consistently makes incredible juice (and more!) without wasting a drop. Smoothness is a personal choice, so we've made sure to highlight the best juicers for smooth juice, and the best for those who like bits in their juice. Ease of use Centrifugal juicers are the fastest and most affordable of the bunch. After produce is dropped through the feed chute, it's both ground up by tiny blades and spun at a very high speed to separate the juice from the pulp. This method can produce high-quality juice in under a minute. Most centrifugal juicers are easy to operate and feature mostly dishwasher-safe parts.This unit is easy to clean with its one-minute self-cleaning function. Just add one drop of dish soap and watch the machine clean itself; no dishwasher necessary. Since it has a small chute, keep in mind that you’ll likely need to cut up your ingredients before adding them in. Although it only has one speed, it also has a “reverse” function that lets you clear out clogs without having to take the machine apart. Multiple reviewers tout that this cold press juicer is easy to clean, its pulp is pressed perfectly dry, and the quality of the juice extracted is delicious.

Like all centrifugal juicers, it struggled to juice leafy greens like spinach but worked well on harder fruits and veggies. However, in use, this is the noisiest juicer we've tested, and it's bulky, so it requires a lot of storage space. We ranked juicers on how noisy they were. While all juicers will make some noise, the best ones were much quieter than others. Blenders work differently because rather than extracting juices, they break down the entire contents of the blending jug to create a smooth mixture and don’t leave anything behind.

Why buy a juicer?

Known as the Sage the Nutri Juicer Cold in the UK, this is a centrifugal juicer. Still, it features 'Cold Spin Technology,' which the brand claims will ensure the juicer stays cool, despite its high spin speed, to avoid any heat damage to vitamins and minerals during the juicing process. Juice made in a blender has a much higher fiber content than juice made in a juicer. This is because juicers remove much of the pulp and fiber from produce, while blenders pulverize the whole ingredient. Both methods work; which one you choose is based on personal taste and nutritional preference. Some juicers leave a lot left over in the "pulp"—the part of the fruits and vegetables that don't go into the juice—meaning many of those nutrients end up going to waste. "A great juicer that makes a dry pulp—not a chopped salad—is important to ensure you're actually getting the nutrients from the gorgeous produce you put in, and not just drinking flavored water," says Rhone. When selecting our top list of juicers, we considered the three main types (masticating, centrifugal, and triturating juicers), as well as speed, noise, cleaning process, and cost.
