10 Best Juicers of 2026, Slow, Centrifugal and Citrus Compared

Saturday breakfast in our house comes with two juice orders and very little patience, so a juicer that's quiet and quick to strip down matters more to me than a headline yield figure. That's why the Ninja cold press juicer sits at the top. Its nine-segment auger presses slowly, Ninja says the redesign clogs less than the older JC100EU, and the two filters let you choose pulpy or smooth. Every removable part goes in the dishwasher. It isn't perfect, though. The 700ml jug is on the small side for a family batch, and the chute is narrower than the self-feeding Kuvings or Fridja, so apples need quartering first.

Most slow juicers make you dread the washing-up, and Philips has built the Viva Collection around fixing that. The QuickClean micro-sieve is designed to rinse clean, Philips puts cleanup at 90 seconds, and every part is dishwasher-safe. The 1 litre jug is bigger than the Ninja's, and there's an XL feeding tube plus a drip stop. I like that the pulp container tucks inside the juice collector, because cupboard space in our kitchen was spoken for years ago. The pulp bin itself is small at 0.6L, though, so a long carrot session means emptying it halfway.

Buy the Kuvings AUTO10S if you juice in bulk (a week of bottles on a Sunday afternoon, say) and would rather load a hopper than feed a chute piece by piece. The 3L auto-hopper takes whole fruit and veg, the 200W motor turns the auger at a slow 50rpm, and Kuvings claims up to 35% more juice than conventional juicers. Its 15-year motor warranty is the longest cover I found on this list, and an electric cleaning brush handles the fiddly strainer. It's a premium machine, however, and a tall one. At 47.2 cm it won't slide under the wall cupboards beside our hob, so in my kitchen it would live in the corner by the back door.

If your juicing starts and ends with oranges, you don't need a slow juicer at all, and the Smeg CJF01 is the citrus press I'd happily leave out on the counter. The stainless steel reamer handles both small and large fruit, a pressure sensor starts the motor when you push down, and the pop-up anti-drip spout stops that sticky ring forming on the worktop. It's a much pricier way to squeeze an orange than the Geepas, and the 70W motor is gentle rather than quick. You're paying partly for the 50s styling, which nobody in my house would count as a downside.

Let's get the confusing bit out of the way: the Sage listing quotes 1300 watts in one place and a 240 Watt motor in another, so I wouldn't choose it on power figures. Choose it for the jug. The 2L Seal and Store jug lets you juice a big batch, cap it and keep it in the fridge, and the extra-large feed chute takes whole items with little chopping. The spout plug lets you mix juice in the jug and rinse between flavours. It's still a centrifugal machine at heart, so expect a frothier glass than the Philips or Ninja would pour.

Judge the Braun J700 on speed and it's hard to fault. Braun says one glass takes 15 seconds and a litre less than a minute, which is the sort of claim that matters at 7am with book bags piled by the front door. The 1000W motor feeds a large 75mm chute, the 1.25L jug has a foam separator, and an anti-drip system stops the spout dribbling. Size is the trade-off. Listed at 40.6 cm wide, it takes a real bite out of a worktop, and a spinning basket at that power is never going to be as hushed as a slow press.

Chopping is what kills most juicing habits, and the Fridja f2500 is built around avoiding it. The 135mm chute and self-feeding hopper take whole fruit, and the 250W motor turns the auger at 60rpm, so you get slow-pressed juice for far less outlay than the Kuvings. I'd keep an eye on two things. The listed warranty is only 1 year, shorter than most rivals here, and the hopper figure is muddled, with 1.8 litres on the listing and 1.2L elsewhere. The enclosed design with no exposed moving parts is reassuring if small hands like to help, as mine always do.

I'll be straight: I nearly left the Kenwood PureJuice off. It's a slow juicer at an entry-level price, with a 150W motor turning at 60rpm, a pulp container, a rinse-through function and a sorbet attachment for frozen-fruit puddings. At 1.98 kg it's light enough to keep in a cupboard and lift out at weekends. But nothing goes in the dishwasher, the listing is thin on detail, and I couldn't find independent reviewers who'd covered it. If your budget stretches, the Ninja is the safer buy.

You'd struggle to find a simpler machine than this Geepas citrus juicer. There's no named model line, just a 100W press with two cones, one for grapefruit and oranges and one for lemons and limes, plus a straining plate that catches pips. It starts when you press the fruit, and the spout flips up to stop drips. The 0.5L jug fills quickly, though, and one spec sheet lists 40W rather than 100W. For a lemon squeezed over Friday fish and chips or a jug of squash-free orange for the kids, that hardly matters.

Want a citrus press that feels like café kit? The Gastroback Advanced Pro S pairs a heavy cast iron lemon reamer with a cast aluminium housing, and the attachments go in the dishwasher. The title lists 100W. That's where the detail runs out. The Amazon page is sparse, one spec sheet lists 160W instead, and at 46.6 cm tall it needs clear headroom. Lemon goes into half of what I cook, so I see the appeal, but the Smeg covers most of the same ground in a smaller body.
