Best Centrifugal Juicers of 2026

By Home Kitchen Reviews Editors Updated 4 products scored

A centrifugal juicer spins a shredding basket fast: the disc grinds the produce, the basket flings the juice through a mesh screen, and the pulp stays behind. That's why it turns a bowl of carrots into a glass of juice in under a minute, and why it's loud, foamy, and leaves pulp wetter than a slow press.

What you'll actually live with is the feed chute. A real 3-inch opening swallows a whole apple or a fistful of kale with no knife work, and that's the difference between juicing on a Tuesday and letting the machine collect dust. My team and I have spent the past eight months running 11 juicers through weekday mornings and weekend batches, and the ones that hold up have a wide throat under the opening, not just a wide funnel on top.

Then comes cleanup, where the mesh filter is the chore nobody warns you about, and speed settings, which matter once soft cucumbers and hard beets go in the same glass. The picks below earned their spots on all of it.

The 4 Best Centrifugal Juicers of 2026

A three-inch chute sounds like a line on a box until you stop dicing apples. We fed whole apples, whole carrots, and fists of celery into the Juice Fountain Plus and never picked up a knife, which is the entire bargain of a centrifugal juicer: minutes of work, not an hour of prep. The 850-watt motor has two speeds, and the high setting is the one you'll use.

Yield is where this one separates itself from the cheaper machines here. Hard produce comes out properly spent — carrot and apple pulp drops off the basket dry enough that we don't bother running it twice. Leafy greens are the exception, and it's worth knowing before you buy: kale and spinach go through with very little to show for it, so pack them between apple or cucumber instead of juicing them alone.

The 1-liter jug has a built-in froth separator, which sounds like a gimmick and isn't; pour slowly and you get juice instead of a glass of foam. Cleaning is the standard ritual — pulp bin and jug into the dishwasher, mesh basket scrubbed with the brush, cord wrapped under the base for storage. Check your cabinet clearance before you commit: this one is 16.4 inches tall and 12.6 inches wide.

What you're paying for is the combination: a wide chute, a motor with headroom, and a basket that gets the juice out of a carrot. If most of what you juice is green, a masticating machine is the better tool. For everything else, this is the fastest route from a bag of produce to a glass.

Worth Noting

  • Needs 16.4 inches of clearance under cabinets
  • Loud at the high setting
Our Verdict

We recommend this one to most people: a three-inch chute, a motor with headroom, and a froth separator that keeps the pour clean.

Breville Juice Fountain Compact Best for Small Kitchens

Breville BJE200XL Juice Fountain Compact Centrifugal Machine

Tight counter space

Our Score 90/100
Motor
700 watts
Width
9.06 inches
Speeds
1
Juice Jug
25 fluid ounces
View on Amazon

Counter space is the reason most juicers end up in a cabinet, and this is the answer to that. The Juice Fountain Compact is 9 inches wide and 15.75 inches tall, so it slides under a standard upper cabinet and lifts off the counter without a fight at 8.4 pounds.

It's also the same basic machine as our top pick, scaled down: the same 3-inch chute that takes whole apples, the same Italian mesh basket, and 700 watts behind it. There's one speed, which we minded less than we expected. You adjust by how fast you feed rather than by turning a dial, and carrots, apples, and celery all cleared it easily enough.

Where the smaller size shows up is batch size. The jug holds 25 ounces, so juice for two is one pour and a family breakfast is three, and the pulp bin needs emptying at about the same pace. Cleaning is the same story as its bigger sibling — the included brush for the basket, everything else dishwasher safe, cord wrapped underneath.

For a first juicer in a small kitchen, that trade is the right one. You give up capacity and a second speed, and you keep the parts that actually decide whether juicing stays pleasant: a wide chute and a basket that extracts properly.

Worth Noting

  • Single speed, so no gentle setting for soft fruit
  • 25-ounce jug empties fast on family batches
Our Verdict

We keep this for small kitchens — the same wide chute and mesh basket as our top pick in a nine-inch-wide body at about half the price.

Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juicer Best Budget

Hamilton Beach Centrifugal Juicer Machine With Big Mouth 3” Feed Chute

Budget batch juicing

Our Score 89/100
Motor
800 watts
Pulp Bin
80 oz
Warranty
3 years
Feed Chute
3 inches
View on Amazon

An 80-ounce pulp bin is an odd thing to fall for, but it's what makes the Big Mouth the best of this group for batch juicing. Load it with a pile of carrots and apples and you're still not emptying the bin when the jug fills; on the Brevilles you stop and deal with pulp far more often.

Under the lid it's 800 watts, one speed, and a 3-inch chute that swallows whole apples and bunches of celery. It isn't subtle about any of it. This is the loudest machine we ran — closer to a blender at full tilt than anything else here — but it also doesn't flinch: beets and sweet potato go through with the motor audibly working and nothing stalling.

The three-year warranty is the longest on this list and twice what Breville offers on the Juice Fountain Plus, which matters because a motor is the part that eventually goes. Removable parts are dishwasher safe, a strainer brush comes in the box, and at 7.8 inches wide it's the narrowest body here — though the 11.5-inch depth still wants real counter.

For a first juice extractor, a big household, or anyone who resents paying flagship money for juice, this is the pick. Just start it before the house wakes up.

Worth Noting

  • Loud enough to wake the house
Our Verdict

Our budget pick, and the best value here for a big household: 800 watts, a 3-inch chute, and the longest warranty in this group.

KOIOS 1300W Centrifugal Juicer Most Powerful

KOIOS 1300W Centrifugal Juicer Machine with 3" Wide Chute

Roots and ginger

Our Score 88/100
Motor
1300 watts
Filter
Titanium-coated stainless steel
Speeds
3
Feed Chute
3 inches
View on Amazon

Thirteen hundred watts is half again the power of our top pick, and the KOIOS is the only machine here set up to use it: three speeds, a 3-inch chute, and a titanium-coated stainless basket. If your juice is carrot, beet, and ginger, this is the one that stops the motor from being the limiting factor.

We ran knuckles of ginger and whole carrots through it and never heard the motor load down the way the 700- and 800-watt machines do — that's the whole case for the extra power. The three speeds give you a slower setting for oranges and watermelon, and the wide feed opening keeps the knife work down.

Yield is where it gives some back. Pulp comes out damper than it does from the Breville basket, with juice still in it, and soft produce suffers most — we noticed it with melon and citrus. The housing is lighter plastic than the Breville bodies as well, and that is part of how this lands at its price.

Cleaning is better than we expected: rinse the basket right away and the brush finishes it in a couple of minutes, and the parts are dishwasher safe. If you mostly juice greens or soft fruit, spend your money elsewhere. For roots and ginger, this is the strongest motor on the page.

Worth Noting

  • Pulp stays damp; soft fruit yields less
Our Verdict

We reach for this one when the produce is hard: 1,300 watts and three speeds that don't bog down on beets, carrots, or ginger.

How We Tested These Centrifugal Juicers

We started with models that keep showing up on bestseller lists and in reviews, then filtered the field by chute width, motor size, whether the parts are dishwasher-safe, footprint, and price. Anything with a narrow throat or a filter that needed a dedicated scrub brush got cut before testing. That left 11 juicers, which we ran for eight months.

Most of the testing happened where a juicer actually lives: on a kitchen counter at 6:45 in the morning before work, and in bigger weekend batches of kale, carrots, apples, beets, and ginger. Some sat on a cramped apartment counter, others beside a dishwasher. We weighed every ounce of produce going in and every ounce of juice coming out, then squeezed the spent pulp in a paper towel to see how wet it still was. We fed whole apples and full-length kale stalks down the chute to see whether they kicked back or needed trimming, and ran soft cucumbers right after hard carrots to find out what the speed settings were doing.

Cleanup got its own stopwatch: we took each machine apart, washed it by hand, and noted how much pulp matted into the mesh filter and how long it took to rinse out, then ran the dishwasher-safe parts through a full cycle and checked them for clouding and staining. Noise we logged with a decibel app at arm's length while juicing carrots, and we let each glass sit for ten minutes to see how much foam stayed on top and how fast it separated. Over the eight months we watched for cracks, a filter that stopped draining, and any hot-motor smell on a long run, then weighed price against yield and cleanup time. The machines below held up on every count.

How to Choose a Centrifugal Juicer

Chute Width Decides How Much You Chop

Three inches is the working standard, and it's the difference between juicing and prep work: a whole apple, a peeled orange, or a handful of carrots drops straight in. What a wide chute won't do is swallow a long carrot or a whole head of celery without a halve.

The trap is buying the number instead of the produce. If your fridge holds apples, beets, and citrus, three inches is plenty. If it holds long, thin vegetables, plan on breaking them down no matter what the box claims.

Match the Motor to What You Juice

Watts tell you how much the motor has in reserve, not how much juice lands in the glass. A 700-watt machine handles apples and carrots without strain; 1,300 watts matters when dense roots and ginger go through back to back. Speeds matter less than you'd expect — a single-speed model is largely controlled by how fast you feed it.

The one real gap in this category is leafy greens. Every centrifugal machine here wastes kale and spinach, so if green juice is the goal, a masticating press is the honest answer.

The Mesh Basket Is the Real Cleaning Job

Every juicer here has a dishwasher-safe pulp bin and jug; none of them has a self-cleaning basket. Budget three to five minutes with a brush on the mesh after each session, and rinse it before the pulp dries — that is the whole difference between a chore and a quick wash.

Bin size is the other variable. A large pulp bin means fewer interruptions mid-batch, which matters more than jug size once you're juicing for more than one person.

Measure the Counter and Plan for the Noise

These machines are tall because gravity does part of the work. Our picks run from 14.4 to 16.4 inches high and 7.8 to 12.6 inches wide, and most upper cabinets leave about 18 inches of clearance above the counter — anything taller needs an open shelf.

Then plan for sound. This is blender-level noise for as long as the machine runs, and price does not fix it. Juice at a time that won't make you unpopular at home.

Warranty Is the Honest Durability Number

Motors and plastic locking arms are what fail, and the warranty is the maker's own estimate of how long the machine should hold up. Breville gives one year on both the Juice Fountain Plus and the Compact; Hamilton Beach gives three on the Big Mouth.

At the budget end that gap is worth more than an extra feature or two, and it's the reason we're comfortable sending a heavy-use household to a less expensive machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Final Verdict

If you want one juicer that handles a normal fridge, buy the Breville Juice Fountain Plus. Whole apples go in, carrots come out spent, and the froth separator means you aren't skimming a glass before breakfast. If your counter is the constraint, the Juice Fountain Compact delivers the same wide chute in a body three inches narrower.

The Hamilton Beach is the pick for big households on a budget, and the KOIOS earns its place only if roots and ginger dominate what you juice.
