What’s The Best Juicer Under $100?

Congratulations! The fact that you’re reading this means that you’re thinking about starting your juicing journey. Juicing is a great way to get more fruits and vegetables into your diet and improve your overall health.

When you’re looking for a juicer under $100 it will be a centrifugal model. This is the type of juicer most people start out with. It contains a spinning disc which tears and shreds produce to extract the juice.

It’s not fantastic but it does the job well enough. It’s not super strong and those of you who are heavy handed may break this juicer, but it’s really not a bad juicer for the money.

If you treat this juicer gently it will juice for you and it does seem to get a lot of good reviews. But it is what it is… a cheaply made juicer with nothing to really shout about.
