The 4 Best Citrus Juicers of 2025
Top pick
This easy-to-use juicer requires zero manual squeezing, making it the most accessible model we tried. It also yielded more juice than nearly every other model and includes two sizes of pulp strainer.
The Vinci Hands-Free Electric Citrus Juicer produced more juice than most of the electric juicers we tested, including models that cost twice as much. Its labor-free mechanism was unparalleled in our testing, especially when compared with other electric models, such as our budget pick, which requires you to press down on the fruit while you juice it.
To operate the Vinci electric juicer, all you have to do is load the fruit onto the juicing cone, snap the lid shut, push a button, and voilà — you have juice. It was also a favorite among our paid testers for accessibility, ease of use, and wow factor — they only wished it was a fraction of the price.
It produces a lot of juice quickly. The Vinci model was a top performer among the electric juicers we tested, extracting about 40% of the oranges’ weight in juice. The cycle for juicing half a fruit lasts about seven seconds, whereas on other machines you would still be pushing down on the fruit, checking to see if you got it all.
It’s automatic. The Vinci electric juicer stops squeezing the fruit automatically, taking out the guesswork that comes with other electric models, like our budget pick, the Black+Decker Citrus Juicer, or the fancier lever-operated Breville or Eurolux juicers. And in our tests, the Vinci juicer always stopped short of gutting the pith, resulting in a delicious juice without any bitterness.
It works with different citrus, and it controls pulp. Unlike our budget pick, whose large reamer is too small for a grapefruit, the Vinci juicer performed well on all sizes and types of citrus.
This model also comes with two different pulp strainers: one with slits that let some pulp through, and one with perforations that strains most of the pulp out. Both are effective.
The parts are made mostly of plastic, but the juicing cone and strainers were still sturdy, and we found it easy to switch out the pulp strainers and clean them by hand. They can also go in the top rack of the dishwasher.
It’s fun to use. Our paid testers described “a sense of wonder” watching the fully automated machine juice on its own. Once closed and in operation, the machine’s juicing cone spins automatically to ream the fruit, while a plate simultaneously compresses it from below. In seconds, juice starts dribbling out of the spout like magic.
Vinci offers a one-year warranty on registered machines (with caveats).
Flaws but not dealbreakers
It was tough to close the lid on larger grapefruits. However, the Vinci electric juicer works well with all other sizes of citrus, so unless you juice large grapefruits often, we didn’t think this was a huge issue.
The button that reverses the direction of the juicing cone was not intuitive. It’s there in case your juicer stalls from an accumulation of pulp, but that’s an issue we didn’t have while testing this machine. Even so, other models reverse direction automatically when there’s a stall.
At about $100, the juicer is expensive. But it still performs better and costs considerably less than models we tested from Breville or SMEG.
And it’s bulky. The Vinci takes up a comparable amount of counter space to other electric models, but it’s taller (about 12.5 inches), so it may not fit under your upper cabinets when open. The size also makes it harder to store, even though the machine can be broken down into multiple parts.
