So, I went on a mission to find a juicer that has the following two things that were important to me: I spend over 30 hours reviewing several juicers that were currently popular in the market and finally found the “one”. Our pick for the best juicer machine under $100 is: Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain Breville BJE200XL is a beautifully designed juicer that is guaranteed to wow you. It’s simple, practical and attractive.I like the way everything including the pulp catcher is all in one unit. Even the plug has a molded loop so that it is easy to plug/unplug. Don’t be fooled by the $100 price tag.

This thing is powerful. Its 700-watt motor operates at 14,000 RPM for maximum juice extraction. Dis-assembly and cleanup is a breeze – it took me about 3 minutes. You don’t need any tool to remove the basket. A combination of ingenious design and magnets hold it in place. Another awesome thing about this juicer – I tried it with spinach and wheatgrass, and it works just fine! For this price, it is hard to find a comparable juicer. The Best Juicer Machine – Breville BJE200XL Other Juicer Machines That Are Also Great Black & Decker JE2200B Cuisinart CJE-1000 Juice Extractor Cuisinart’s CJE-1000 is another great juicer that is quiet and easy to clean. I got a lot of juice and the pulp comes out pretty dry – so you get the most bang for your buck. It has a powerful 1000-watt motor with 5 speeds to get the most out of varieties of fruits and vegetables. Beautiful in stainless steel, the control dial lights up with blue LED light ring.

The anti-drip adjustable flow spout and foam-reducing filter basket will make sure your operation goes smooth. The filter basket is a bit tricky to get out, but clean-up is very easy. Hamilton Beach 67650A Big Mouth Pro Juicer Machine Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Pro has raving reviews from customers as the “Best Value Juicer”. Its extra-wide 3″ chute fits whole fruits and vegetables for fast, easy juicing. It has an extra-large pulp bin that lets you juice longer. You can reuse the nutrient-rich pulp in other recipes. It’s inexpensive, fast and easy to clean. Like other juicers, the cleanup is quick. I was able to get it done under 5 minutes without using the dishwasher. Big Mouth Pro is an excellent juicer for the money. Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus Breville JE98XL is another awesome juicer by Breville. It is slightly more expensive than our best pick – but it is a great purchase for every other reason. Throw anything at it and it will get it juiced under 1 minute.

It also has extra-wide feed chute (3” wide). You can juice large fruits and vegetables with little to no cutting or preparation. It comes with a fitted juice catcher, so no more mess for you to clean up. I am a big fan of pulps and always reuse them in other recipes. If you are like me, you will love the large capacity pulp container. Cleanup, like other Breville juicers, is very easy. With included cleaning brush you can clean everything by hand in a few minutes. All parts except for the mesh filter basket/Nutri Disc and food pusher can be washed in a dishwasher as well. You cannot go wrong with this one. Black & Decker JE2200B Juicer Machine If you are not quite ready to splurge on a Juicer Machine, then Black & Decker JE2200B is a great value deal. For under $30 bucks, it will get the job done. It comes with 28-ounce pulp collector to manage your pulp. You can choose how much pulp you want in your juice. You can use the on/off switch to control the juicing done by the 400-watt motor.

The 300-ml pitcher will capture all the fresh-squeezed juice. The pitcher comes with measurement-marks and easy-pour spout to make your life easier as you measure, pour and serve the juice. All parts are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. If you are looking for a simple, cheap, & good-working juicer Black & Decker JE2200B is the one for you. While many variations exist, there are mainly three types of juicers: Centrifugal Juicers are high speed juicers. They grate fruits and vegetables and spin at high speed to separate the juice from the pulp. They produce very dry pulp (so, more juice) – but are not that great with leafy greens and grass. Masticating Juicers are slow juicers that crush and grind the ingredients and produce juice that is a bit more pulpy – i.e. smoother and thicker. They can work with all types of fruits and vegetables, including leafy greens and grass (wheatgrass). Performance Blenders blend pretty much anything with the help of blades at the bottom of the bowl.
