The decisions that matter
A juicer extracts juice from fruit and vegetables. Centrifugal juicers are fast and easy; masticating (slow) juicers are slower, quieter and better with leafy greens. Your produce mix decides which type wins.
Centrifugal vs. masticating
Centrifugal is fast and handles hard fruit well. Masticating is slower and quieter and extracts more from greens, herbs and wheatgrass.
What you juice most
Citrus and apples suit either type. Leafy greens and herbs strongly favour masticating.
Cleaning time
Juicers with many parts and fine screens take minutes to clean. That cleaning time decides whether juicing becomes a habit.
Pulp handling
A large pulp container means fewer stops. Adjustable pulp control lets you choose texture.

Before you buy any juicer
- ✓ Juicer type against your usual produce
- ✓ Cleaning time and part count
- ✓ Pulp container size
- ✓ Noise level if you juice early
Prices and availability change; check the retailer page before buying. Specifications on a retailer listing can differ from the manufacturer sheet — where they conflict, the manufacturer sheet wins, and this site flags the conflict rather than publishing one figure as fact.
Frequently asked questions
Is fresh juice healthier than store-bought?
It has no added sugar and more fresh flavour, but it still concentrates fruit sugars and removes fibre.
Which type is better for greens?
Masticating, by a clear margin. Centrifugal juicers struggle with leaves.
How long does fresh juice keep?
Best drunk immediately. Refrigerated in a sealed container, a day at most before flavour fades.
