5 Great Juicers Below $400

When compiling this list of recommended juicers I stayed below $400. This was to make the list useful to as many people as possible. If you’re looking for a juicer above $400 this list isn’t for you. I will be compiling another list with juicers above $400 at a later date.

These 5 juicers then are all models that I personally recommend either based on my experience or the experiences of others. I talk to a lot of people who juice and visit a lot of juicing websites. I have probably read over a thousand juice reviews over the past few months and this list is an attempt to make sure you get a the best juicer that you can afford to start your juicing journey!

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.

Omega J8005 Nutrition Center Single-Gear Commercial Masticating Juicer

The main question I get asked about Omega’s 8000 series of horizontal masticating juicers is what’s the difference between them? Omega hasn’t done a very good job at pointing out the differences between the J8003, J8004, J8005 and J8006. Rest assured that all of the 8000 series are functionally identical and you’re not getting any extra features the more you spend.

But where your extra money goes is into the materials used in construction. There is a clue in the warranty offered on the different models. The J8005 has a 10 year warranty (sames as the J8003). The J8006 has a 15 year warranty (same as the J8004). The auger on the J8006 is 8 times stronger than the auger on the J8005. That’s a pretty important part of the juicer and it needs to be strong because it’s at the receiving end when juicing.
