In a 2026 feature for Bon Appétit, the editorial team weighed and juiced 42 pounds of produce in a series of tests to determine which juicers were truly worth buying and using regularly.
The article emphasizes that a good juicer should be easy to operate and, more importantly, easy to clean—an issue that frustrated many buyers. According to the piece, the producers compared a range of models, documenting how quickly each could be disassembled, washed, and dried after processing the full load of fruit and vegetables.
Choosing a juicer that balances performance with low maintenance helps home cooks keep the machine in daily use rather than relegating it to a rarely‑visited appliance drawer.
