by Editors of Which? magazine
Which? is a U.K. magazine that offers a detailed comparison and review of 25 juicers, some of which are available in the United States. In the course of testing, editors processed 600 oranges, 10… pineapples, 150 beets and many other fruits and vegetables. Top honors go to two Breville juicers, which are sold in the U.S. as the Juice Fountain Pro (now discontinued) and the Breville Juice Fountain Compact BJE200XL. Editors say that the Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL and Jack LaLanne Power Juicer are both excellent buys.
by Editors of Choice magazine
This website is the Australian equivalent of ConsumerReports.org. Although most of the 17 juicers rated in this report are not available in the U.S., three of the top five juicers, the Breville 800 Class… Commercial Juicer 800JE, the Breville Ikon BJE510XL and the Breville BJE200 Juice Fountain have U.S. equivalents (the Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL, the Breville Ikon BJE510XL and the Breville Juice Fountain Compact BJE200XL, respectively). Editors say the top-rated Breville juicers have large chutes, juice jugs and pulp containers, though they are also bulky and difficult to clean in a standard sink. In addition to juicer ratings and a buyer's guide, the article describes how juicers work.
by Editors of Consumer magazine
Editors at Consumer, a New Zealand magazine that's similar to ConsumerReports.org, test seven centrifugal and four non-centrifugal juicers for performance, ease of use and juice quality. They put the… machines through their paces, including juicing watermelon and pineapple together to see if the machines will choke on the combination of hard and soft fruits. The top Breville machines, whose U.S. equivalents are the Breville Juice Fountain Compact BJE200XL and Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE95XL, earn top marks. Other highly rated juicers are unavailable in the United States.

by Kristin Donnelly
Food & Wine magazine says that 76 countertop appliances were tested before selecting their favorites in nine categories, including juicers. The Hamilton Beach Big Mouth is their top juicer, with Omega 4000… a close second. The Big Mouth is easy to assemble and requires little pre-chopping. The pulp catcher is "huge" and the included cleaning brush is handy. The Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE95XL and Juiceman Pro are the runners-up. Other tested juicers, if any, are not identified.
by Joseph De Avila
Joseph De Avila tests five citrus juicers for The Wall Street Journal and shares his observations. The Metrokane L-Press Citrus Juicer is his favorite. He says that it is light for its size and that it… easily squeezes all of the juice from citrus fruits. The Hamilton Beach Manual Commercial Juicer also works well, but both the OrangeX Chrome Juicer and the Metrokane All-Chrome Mighty OJ produce unsatisfactory results. The Breville Die-Cast 800CPXL performs well, but takes up a lot of space.
by Editors of Bon Appétit magazine
Editors test citrus extractors and recommend the Metrokane L-Press Citrus Juicer, Alessi Juicer, Cuisinart CCJ-100, Breville Die-Cast Citrus Press, Oxo Good Grips Citrus Reamer and the Amco… Enameled-Aluminum Citrus Squeezer. The Metrokane L-Press Citrus Juicer is best for large fruits, while the Amco Enameled-Aluminum Citrus Squeezer works best with small fruits. Editors don't reveal how many juicers they tested or their methodology, however.
by Charles Passy
Although it's outdated, this is one of the least biased and most thorough reports we found. In a five-product roundup, Charles Passy concludes that there is no "one-size-fits-all juicer." Quiet machines may… be slow, while ejection models can have small feed chutes. The Juiceman 2 JM502, Omega 4000 and Green Star GS-3000 earn high marks, while the Acme Supreme Juicerator 5001 is rated best overall. It's comparable to the Green Star GS-3000 in that it yields dry pulp, but comes with basket filters for easy cleanup. The reviewer rating for best value goes to the L'Equip Mini Pulp Ejector Model 110.5.
by Editors of Good Housekeeping magazine
Editors praise the Oster Citrus Juice and Serve Juicer for consistently producing the most juice of all the electric juicers tested. It is easy to use and squeezes juice directly into a pitcher. The Oxo… Citrus Juicer is their pick for manual juicers but it doesn't work as well with grapefruit. Editors don't recommend using a handheld reamer, as it is the least effective method and tends to be messy. Testing methods and other models tested are not mentioned.
by Editors of 3Luxe.com
Editors of 3Luxe.com research products using information and reviews widely available online and in consumer magazines. Some products are also tested by staff, as appears to be the case with juicers. Three… are chosen, but other brands reviewed are not mentioned or compared. The Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL, Green Star GS-3000 and Waring Pro PJe401 all make the list of best juicers. A description that focuses mostly on positive features is given for each juicer.

Amazon.com is an excellent site to visit once your choice is already narrowed down a bit to see how a juicer holds up over time. The Breville JE900 earns high scores from numerous owners, as does the… Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL and the Breville Juice Fountain Compact BJE200XL. The Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE95XL is highly rated, but many motor-failure reports are sprinkled within the compliments. Black & Decker and Hamilton Beach also have top-rated juicers. The Cuisinart CCJ-100 Citrus Juicer and Juiceman Jr. receive some of the lowest ratings.
by Contributors to Epinions.com
Epinions.com's methodology of collecting individual impressions from users poses some problems. While real-life use of a product can sometimes offer the best perspective, many models here get top ratings… with so few reviews that it is difficult to see which models truly rise above the rest. The Breville Juice Fountain Professional and Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL, Waring JEX328 and Omega 8005 all receive high ratings from owners.

by John Kohler
California-based DiscountJuicers.com sells juicers for people who are going to use them regularly. As such, they advocate the most durable and flexible machines. Of course, these also tend to be the most… expensive. John Kohler argues against low-powered, light-duty juicers like the Juiceman Jr. Instead, he recommends centrifugal ejection models, like the Nutrisource 1000 and L'Equip Mini Pulp Ejector Model 110.5, for most purposes. People interested in a lifestyle change through a living/raw food diet are steered towards Green Star and Omega models.
by Editors of Juicing.com
Although this site also sells juicers, its editors aren't afraid to compare models. Industry engineers and nutritional experts base ratings on evaluations of each machine's ease of use, juice quality and… durability. Four juicers are rated highly. The Acme Supreme Juicerator 5001 and Omega juicers yield the most juice and are easy to clean. The Juiceman 2 JM502 and Miracle Ultramatic MJ-7000 are both continuous-feed machines that are convenient for making larger quantities of juice. Editors here are strong proponents of purchasing more expensive, higher-end models if you plan to juice daily.
by Editors of VitalityPlus.com
This retail website sells juicers, but it also publishes testing details for eight of the most popular juice extractors on the market. Each extractor is tested with 2.5 pounds of carrots and 2 pounds of… spinach. Detailed test results are provided for each model, and the short write-ups include critical details, so the information here appears to be less biased than some retail sites. The SoloStar-II SS-9002 and Green Star juicers earn top marks, while the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer is the least efficient of all the high-speed machines tested. VitalityPlus.com also offers a nice article on the benefits of juicing. This site also sells Green Star and SoloStar juicers, however, so we take the results with a grain of salt.

by Editors of HappyJuicer.com
Along with user ratings, this site includes how-to articles. The Champion 2000+ is rated best overall for its simple operation and clean up. The Magimix Le Duo receives the best-value rating, but isn't… available in the United States. The Z Star Manual Juicer is chosen as the best wheatgrass juicer. The Green Star GS-1000 has the best health benefits and ties with the Twin Health juicer in overall ratings. They both produce "the highest quality juice, rich in taste, deep in color and with the longest shelf life of all the juices made from the machines on test in our head-to-head juicer review."
by Cynthia Foster
This article discusses fasting. Cynthia Foster raves about the Champion Household Juicer 2000+, calling it durable and easy to clean, and noting that it includes attachments for butters and desserts. The… author recommends the Omega 4000 for beginners. If you'd like to churn wheatgrass and stems, Foster suggests Green Power or Green Life juicers. It's unclear why these models are chosen over others.
