3 Best Juicers of 2026

For our latest round of juicer reviews, I’m focusing on a new category that’s quickly becoming popular: batch juicers.

The batch juicers I tested have large hoppers and an automatic feed function, which chops the ingredients in the hopper and pulls them to the auger (a slowly turning screw that crushes the product). So you can load whole ingredients into the juicer and go, rather than pre-chopping them and putting them into the chute one by one. The juicing process itself is slow for a few minutes, but a batch juicer will reduce the work and the overall time.

Batch juicers also cut out user error, which was common with chute-style juicers, according to John Kohler of DiscountJuicers.com. With chute-style juicers, if the ingredients aren’t cut into the right size, or you put them in too quickly, the machine can clog and jam, and the resulting juice can be pulpier.

Throughout our research and testing, I focused on a few key approaches:

Cleaning is easy: Perhaps the scariest part of the juicing process is the cleaning. Almost all juicers have parts that need to be washed by hand, and pulp can be tricky to get out of strainers, pulp chutes, and crevices. I tested the ease of cleaning each juicer and the included cleaning tools.

Steps: Juicers are often an extra kitchen item, as opposed to an essential one, and they tend to be bulky. For each juicer, I considered its size and countertop footprint, weighing that against its power and efficiency.

Guarantee: Juicers are very expensive appliances. So it is important to have peace of mind about the value of the juicer in the long run. I looked for machines with long warranties, and ones that offered availability on both parts and engines.

Easy to assemble: Juices have many pieces that must be mixed together before you can use them. The auger sits inside the screen, which is placed on a rotating wiper; all this stays in the chamber set (the main body of the juicer). The chamber set is then placed on top of the motor base, which powers the juicer.

If any of these parts do not fit together properly, the machine will not work. I’ve noted the assembly process for each juicer, marking those that require inappropriate power or need to be done in a specific order.

In 2025, I tested three batch juicers with our previous selection, paying special attention to the use of each machine and the cleaning process. My test followed the same plan as the previous one, and this allowed me to cross-reference the resulting data with that of the juices we tested previously.

Green juice test: I first juiced 8 ounces of each curly and green grape. This test showed us how well each machine handled soft fruits and hard vegetables.

Fibrous vegetables are difficult to break down, and a high-quality juicer will squeeze more juice from the leaves than smaller models. Soft fruits (such as seedless grapes) are challenging for juices for the opposite reason; it does not have a thread that helps the juicer to pull the fruit completely into the chamber, and this can do the job.

I tasted the juice and noted its level of sweetness; the sweetness indicates a high level of grape juice, which tells us that the juice did not do a good job of juicing the vegetables.

Root juice test: I repeated our experiment with solid fruits and vegetables, using 8 ounces of carrots and apples, 4 ounces of celery, and one ginger. This helped me to see how machines can grind hard roots and stringy fruits. The best juices yield smooth, earthy juices that are barely audible on the tongue.

Juice and pulp yield: To see how efficient each model was at extracting, I measured yields by weight. I also measured how much pulp was left, and squeezed it to feel how much liquid was left. A large juicer will leave behind a pulp that is slightly moist but not wet – a sign that it is squeezing out the last drops of product.

Foam: I measured how thick the cap of foam was on each juice, because too much foam is unpleasant. For juicers that include a strainer, I noted the yield by weight of juice, both with and without foam.

Temperature: I measured the temperature of each juice to see if any machine overheated the product, but we didn’t see much of a difference.
