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.

The alternative to a centrifugal juicer is called a masticating juicer. These contain an auger that crush and press produce to extract the juice. Masticating juicers produce better quality juice but are more expensive and typically cost more than $200. A centrifugal juicer is suitable for most people and the juice produced is still very beneficial.

Choosing The Right Juicer

There is a huge choice of juicers available today and while choice is always a good thing it can be hard to decide which juicer is best for you.

The number one thing that drives most of us when deciding which juicer to buy is our budget. A lot of people don’t have lots of money to spend in this economic climate. Of course some of us are luckier and have more money to spend on a juicer. Decide how much you can afford to spend first because this will most likely determine which type of juicer you end up buying.

Omega VRT350 Vertical Single Auger Masticating Juicer

The Omega VRT350 vertical juicer isn’t a cheap juicer but as the saying goes, “you get what you pay for”.

You can get one for $380 with free shipping and if that’s way outside of your budget then take a look at Omegas 8000 series of horizontal masticating juicers (J8003, J8004, J8005, J8006) which start at $230. If your budget is lower than this you’re probably looking for a centrifugal juicer.

This is a great masticating juicer and it uses a single auger to slowly crush and squeeze the juice out of produce. It creates juice of a noticeably higher quality than centrifugal juicers with less oxidation and damage to key enzymes found in fruits and vegetables. Anyone making the transition from a centrifugal juicer will immediately notice the flavors are clearer and sharper than centrifugal made juice.
