If you're excited about the idea of fresh fruit juice on a hot summer day, or tasty mixers for our favorite cocktails, and/or a way to use up extra seasonal produce, then you may want to consider picking up a juicer.
If you’re not ready to spend more than $70 on a juicer but want to play around with juicing at home, this Hamilton Beach model is the one to get. It did a fair job in our tests, although sometimes the motor can make the whole machine jolt a little bit since it’s made of plastic. An added benefit: It's dishwasher-safe, so you don’t have to spend all your time handwashing the parts. A good juicer should extract the most juice from an ingredient without compromising taste.
Masticating juicers, on the other hand, tend to be more expensive. They work by crushing chopped fruit and veggies through a slow spinning auger. These machines are much quieter, squeeze out more juice, and press the pulp through an extruder, making cleanup much easier. As for the juice yields, four of the juicers got around 250g of juice from a pound of beets. The Breville came in last with 230g, while the Hamilton Beach won with 280g of juice.
We saw similar results with strawberries, and the Omega and Hurom produced the best results: juices that were colored a uniform deep translucent fuchsia and tasted like ultra-filtered strawberry juice. The Breville, Hamilton Beach, and NutriBullet produced something closer to a smoothie: a pink, slightly frothy, and opaque.For those who like their greens in juice form, we fed each juicer a pound of chopped kale, stems and all.
The Omega, on the other hand, weighs 15 lbs, although it has a slimmer design, with a length and width of around 7.5 inches. It’s less of a space hogger on the counter than some of the other machines.The masticating juicers aren’t dishwasher-safe, but they didn’t take long to take apart and reassemble after cleaning. The Hurom and Omega took a few tries in the beginning to get all the parts to snap in place, but it was easy after the first three or four uses.
