Follow my story about researching juicers. See how I used the research to cut down the noise of “finding the best”, top, or cheapest juicer. Learn how I made my decision to choose the right juicer for my life.

Researching based on the query: “what are the best juicers”

Surprised to find so many surveys about the best juicers of 2024. Here are several of the higher ranking publications as of June 2, 2024. Read what juicers they gave highest marks to and why.

Food and Wine

The 8 Best Cold Press Juicers of 2024, Tested & Reviewed. Ok, Food and Wine chose a top juicer in unique categories and called it their “top picks.” What I liked about their review was the run through of juicer categories:

• Citrus
• Centrifugal
• Coldpress

Knowledge is power: Identify what type of juicer you’re looking for. Then, understand what testing criteria they used to pick. Which brands made the cut? Omega, Hurom, Ninja, Nama J1…

Food Network

5 Best Juicers of 2024, Tested and Reviewed. Food Network didn’t review as many juicers as Food and Wine. What I liked was their article has a longer section on how they tested. The lens felt practical vs. kitchen space focused. Which brands made the cut? Nutribullet, Hamilton Beach, Omega and 3 Brevilles.

Epicurious

The 3 Best Juicers, Tested and Reviewed (2024). Third on the list is Epicurious who found 3 best juicers after testing 18. What I liked is they did a full review of each juicer which included what type it is, specs, ease of cleaning, etc. The downside was it read a bit scattered (albeit conscientious) for me. Which brands made the cut? Nama J2, Ninja, and Breville.

CNET

The 3 Best Juicers of 2024, Tested by CNET Editors. Who made the cut? Hamilton Beach, Breville, and Oster. I like that the article cuts to the chase at the top of the page – their top 3 juicers are linked there. The downside is I’m too afraid to scroll and hit one of their advertisements by mistake. That is, unfortunately, a great way to pick up malicious code.

Good Housekeeping

7 Best Juicers, Tested & Reviewed by Experts. I fast forwarded over Amazon’s listing to this one from Good Housekeeping. Who made the cut? Breville, Hamilton Beach, Breville, Nutribullet. What I like is that the number 7 draws me more than 3, 5, 8, or 10. They get to their evaluation criteria later. Similar to Food and Wine, the article provides some information about what type of juicers they tested. Centrifugal and masticating. Masticating is another term for ‘coldpress’.

Buyer’s Guide

Best Juicers 2024. This site was unfamiliar to me so I checked it out. Who made the cut? Amumu, Breville, and Ninja. I want to say something positive up front but I could not find the brand, Amumu. That discredits them for me. Maybe the side articles are better.

6 review sites and which one is the best juicer for 2024?

Interesting exercise! After reading the articles, I narrowed it down to a short list of some of the leading juicer performers from the common pool. Defined my budget. Thought about how easy to clean the model is. And which ones took whole, unpeeled fruit.

My number one choice which was a masticating juicer was out of my budget. The runner up is a cold press juicer that made most of these lists for best in something. So I am feeling eager to try it. As the articles point out, making your own juice is cost effective and fresh. Plus, you know if the fruits and vegetables were first washed. That is really important to me. I wash produce in vinegar water before storing and eating.

The best juicer for me (today)

I’m not trying to sell anything here so I am not revealing which juicer I bought. And to that point, it really shouldn’t matter what I chose. The lesson is to read reviews and learn

• What type of product you need.
• The amount of money you are willing to spend.
• About any flaws products have (like noisy motors, or a part that breaks).
• Whether the brand has a reputation of good customer care.
• What testing criteria matter to you.
• How much space (in this case a juicer) will take on the counter.

Which juicer would you choose? Are you a purist celery juicer? An orange juicer? Or a pink lady apple-ginger-lemon kind of juicer?
