6 Easy-To-Clean Juicers

• Also available on Walmart, $130

With a seven-stage augur, this slow juicer mashes ingredients in order to extract the maximum amount of juice. Because it rotates slowly at 80 rotations per minute (RPM), this juicer boasts quiet operation and doesn’t expose ingredients to heat, which helps preserve their nutritional content. Reviewers have reported it’s easy to put together and clean, especially since all of the detachable parts are dishwasher-safe. The other big benefit of this pick is that unlike many juicers, this has functions beyond your daily smoothie — it can also be used to grind meat or spiralize vegetable into veggie noodles.

One reviewer wrote: “Really easy to clean which is the #1 factor why I never used my old juicer. It works very well and it really takes out the juice from turmeric and ginger which other juicers where not so great at. Highly recommend.”

If you’re tight on kitchen space — but still want a masticating juicer — it’s worth considering this pick from Dash. Weighing just over 4.5 pounds and measuring 14.57 by 10.91 by 5.94 inches, the small footprint means it can be stored neatly in your cabinet or even kept out on your counter for easy access. It can whip up juices, nut milks, and even sorbets, thanks to the frozen attachment, which means you won’t be limited to just juice. It doesn’t expose your ingredients to heat, preserving their nutritional value, and has a strong 130-watt motor. Along with the juicer itself, you’ll get two juice cups and a cleaning brush as well as two attachments. For easy cleanup, all the removable parts are dishwasher-safe.

One reviewer wrote: “If you are looking for a compact, highly effective and super easy to clean juicer, look no further. I read the reviews before buying and had some concerns, but I absolutely love this thing. After owning a larger juicer with a blades, I was a bit skeptical of a masticating juicer and it's ability to get all of the juice out. But this thing does a phenomenal job and gets every drop of juice. Cleanup is super easy and takes just a moment in the sink, and it's small size allows you to easily stick it in almost any cabinet. Highly recommend.”

Thanks to the six nozzles and two juicer screens, this horizontal slow juicer from Omega can actually tackle an impressive range of tasks, including grinding coffee beans, extruding pasta, making nut milks, and more. The powerful motor rotates the two-stage auger at 80 RPM to produce clean, pulp-free juice that retains its health benefits. The main body has an easy-grip handle to help provide extra stability while feeding tough ingredients into the chute, and it also makes it easier to transport when moving the sturdy 20-pound juicer.

The Omega’s masticating chamber is similar to the design of the AICOK, and its parts can be removed easily for cleaning and reassembly. A cleaning brush comes with the package, and it’s sized to fit in the narrow juicer screen for hassle-free cleaning of fiber and pulp. And while it’s certainly an investment, note that the Omega comes with a 15-year warranty on parts, so if any issues come up in the future, you’ll be covered — this offers great peace of mind if you plan to use your juicer often or with fibrous and hard produce.

One reviewer wrote: “I've been juicing for over 30 years, and this is my favorite juicer. [...] Hands down, the Omega NC800 is easiest to clean! By far. It takes less than 90 seconds.”

Another slow juicer, this option from Hurom operates at almost half the speed of the AICOK, making it one of the quietest machines you’ll find — helpful if you’re an early riser who doesn’t want to wake anyone else during morning juice sessions. The auger is positioned vertically, and slowly squeezes juice from foods for maximum yield with minimal oxidation and nutrient loss. The auger and housing separate into several components that can be easily rinsed clean. If used daily, water should be poured through the juicer to rinse the main components, but after juicing highly fibrous foods like celery, carrots, or beets, the mesh basket should be hand-washed with the included brush set. Because of its vertical design, the Hurom is relatively compact, making it a reasonable option for smaller kitchens. It has a modern design and also comes in colors like mint green and pink, making this one juicer you just might want to keep on display.

One reviewer wrote: “Perfect if you are looking for a quality juicer that is simple to clean and have limited counter space. I live in an LA apartment and use this 5 days a week mostly for celery and carrot juice and it works great! Easy to clean compared to most juicers and it comes with the necessary cleaning tools.”

Unlike the slow juicers above, this centrifugal juicer from KOIOS starts the process by grinding ingredients on a 13-row saw-pointed serrated surface. As the motor spins at anywhere from 12,000 to 18,000 RPM, the mixture is separated, and juice filters through a mesh basket and pulp goes into an external bin. The KOIOS’ larger components can be easily rinsed clean, but the serrated surface and mesh basket should be carefully cleaned with the included brush, which does translate to a little detail work. (A juicer-cleaning hot tip: Wet pulp is much easier to clean than dried-on pulp, so it’s best to clean your juicer immediately after use.)

For safety purposes, the feed chute on the KOIOS is tall; however, the 3-inch width accommodates larger chunks of food and even small whole fruits like apples, which significantly cuts down on prep time. The high-speed motor and spinning process can expose ingredients to air and heat, so some health benefits can be lost. That being said, it’s a wallet-friendly juicer with easy operation and relatively easy cleaning.

One reviewer wrote: “I am a new juicer and I love this product. It is easy to use, clean and store. The juicer separates the juice from the pulp. I just drop the pulp in a recipe or drop it into my compost bucket, using everything is important. I love that I no longer have any waste using up all my veggies and fruits. I highly recommend this juicer.”

If you want a juicer that won’t wake up the entire neighborhood, take a look at the Breville Juice Fountain. A centrifugal juicer made from sleek brushed stainless steel, the brand claims that it’s designed to be 40% quieter than some other options. It has a large chute and a 70-ounce juice container that lets you prep large batches at once and store them in the fridge, helpful if you’re juicing for a crowd or planning to sip throughout the day. For versatility, you can also toggle between quiet, fast, and boost modes with the front dial, which means you can tailor your juicing based on your priorities. Since it’s made from stainless steel, it’s easy to wipe down the body to keep it clean. Some of the removable parts are not dishwasher-safe, however, so be sure to check your user manual first.

One reviewer wrote: “This is the best juicer in its price range. Quiet, powerful, and easy to clean. I use it every day and spend two minutes cleaning it.”
