Hi, this is Mike, welcome to my Best Juicer & Juicer Reviews site! I love juicing. If you interested to know more about me and why I started this Best Juicer & Juicers Reviews Blog, you can check it out my about page.
It pays to think about what you would like your juicer to do before you buy one, so here I’ve put in information that might be useful for you to choose your best juicer. I took the info from my own experience while shopping for a juicer with my girlfriend.
How to Choose the Best Juicer
I think there is no best juicer on the market for everyone, since everyone has different needs for a juicer. Some people like to drink only citrus fruit juice, some like to juice vegetables, and some like it all-in-one!
And there’s a big difference in the price too. How much are you willing to pay for a decent juicer that fits your needs? We got our Breville for a little less than $300, and it certainly gave us more than its worth!
Anyway, first you have to choose the type of juicer you want:
- 1. Citrus juicer – A cheap and basic juicer that juices citrus fruits only. ($20 – $100)
2. Centrifugal juicer – The most common juicer around that juices most kinds of fruits and non-leafy vegetables. Very affordable at $50 – $200.
3. Single gear masticating juicer – Juices most kinds of fruits and vegetables. Can also make mushy foods. ($100 – $350)
4. Twin gear triturating juicer – Juices all kinds of fruits and vegetables, keeping more of the enzymes in the juice undamaged. Some of them can juice wheatgrass too. ($250 – $950)
5. Wheatgrass juicer – Usually juices wheatgrass only, but some newer models can juice fruits as well. ($200 – $800)
I did get a bit confused with all the types earlier, and I spent a long time finding out the difference among them. Well, I’ve compiled the information here for you: Types of Juicers. Or you can click the links below to see the type you are interested in, where you can also find my recommended reviews for the type.

What Can I Expect From the Best Juicer?
After you decide the type of juicer you need, I know it’s terribly difficult to decide among almost similar models so I’ll drop a few hints here for you.
I like our juicer to have several speeds to choose from, a large chute, and it should be dishwasher safe because my girlfriend doesn’t like to spend time washing up afterwards! But what I like doesn’t mean that’s what you should have too, because everyone has different needs.
Check out these features of juicers and see which feature you definitely must have!
- Large chute
- Dishwasher safe
- Clear juice container
- Pulp ejection
- Safety lock lid
- Speeds
- Metal or plastic body
