Whether you love to start your morning with a delicious glass of juice or you're trying to squeeze extra servings of fruits and vegetables into your diet, juicing at home is a great addition to your lifestyle. Choosing the best juicer for your needs can be difficult, especially with so many options available.
Centrifugal juicers, which are considered traditional or entry-level juicers, produce strained juice in seconds as blades spin at high speeds to chop your produce and push it through a mesh sieve. These centrifugal machines can be loud and messy, but fresh juice seems like a fair trade. Here are three of the best juicers on the market right now.
WHAT Hamilton Beach Big Mouth
THE COST $69.99

Hamilton Beach was the best performer when it came to getting the most citrus juice from oranges and green juice from kale (the top fruit and vegetable for juice found on most grocery lists).
The Big Mouth also takes the title for the best budget value juicer. It's dishwasher-safe, too, which is as important as juice quality. The only flaw is that the Big Mouth doesn't come with a juice receptacle to place beneath the spout.
WHAT Breville Juice Fountain Plus
THE COST $179.95
AVAILABLE FROM breville.com
True to Breville form, this vertical juicer felt high-end and looked great. It also turned out the best apple juice yield of the group. This two-speed, 850-watt Breville juicer is pricey, but it comes with a few nice features.
It includes a 1-liter juice pitcher and, even better, a "froth separator." This handy divider inside the pitcher keeps the frothy top layer of your juice retained while you pour the good stuff. Like all the juicers on this list, you'll also get a brush accessory for cleaning out the mesh sieve basket inside the juicer machine.
WHAT Oster JusSimple Easy Juicer Juice Extractor
THE COST $149.95
AVAILABLE FROM oster.com
Oster's JusSimple juicer is handsomely designed and easy to use. The sporty red coating on the filter makes it easier to clean out than uncoated metal models. A convenient rotating spout with open and closed positions keeps juice from dripping on your countertop from the feed chute.
The JusSimple also has a wide, 3-inch mouth, so you'll do less chopping to fit your produce into the juicer. A lighted speed dial adds to the sophistication of this model.
