Starting to make your own fruit and vegetable drinks at home doesn’t have to cost the earth. There are a whole range of juicers that are available for less than $100. Are they the best juicer you could ever hope to own? Probably not. But there are quite a few models in this price range that make a great choice if you are not yet prepared to invest in a more expensive juicer such as an Omega VRT350HD or Green Star GS-1000.

In actual fact, the juicers which I’m going to discuss below are really easy to use and any of them would make a great introductory juicing appliance which you could use daily, to improve the quality of the nutrition that you consume. Below are four juicers which all have something to offer and are available online for under $100.

Breville BJE200XL

This is the most expensive juicer in this range. In its favor though, it is made by Breville who are well known for making top quality kitchen appliances. Read my full Breville BJE200XL review to find out more about this particular unit. I bought this juicer from Amazon (in Japan) and I like it

In brief, it is a centrifugal juicer that spins at high speed to extract the liquid from the fruits and vegetables that you want to juice. Highlights include its wide 3″ feed chute and ease of use.

The manual that comes with this machine is pretty cool too. It has lots of juice recipes to get you started on your juicing adventure. There are even a few spirited juices, e.g. Bloody Mary,  if you want to try a healthy alcoholic drink.

Here is a link to the official Breville product manual for this particular model.

Hamilton Beach 67650 Big Mouth Pro

Check out my full Hamilton Beach 67650 review article for more details. In many respects this machine is similar to the Breville model above. They are both centrifugal juicers and both have the extra large 3″ feeder hole in the top.

Where they differ is in their price and design. The Big Mouth Pro is actually the cheapest of the two. It also has a separate pulp collection container which fits on to the back of the machine. Personally I don’t think it looks as attractive as the BJE200XL but it does offer a bit of a saving.

The Hamilton Beach homepage doesn’t offer the full product manual for this device but it might be worth checking out to compare the price of this juicer with what Amazon are offering.

Big Boss Juicer

This is a juicer that I have not actually used myself. However it caught my eye because it seems to offer great features at a really low price. This is a stainless steel juicer which is typically more expensive than plastic machines but the manufacturer has managed to keep costs right down and have released what appears to be a great value product.

Unfortunately I have been unable to locate the manufacturer’s website or any official product information. On the flip side though, this machine appears to offer two speed functionality with its high speed being 18,000 RPM which is faster than the previous two models.

This could be a real steal. But certainly do your research. There are lots of customer reviews on the Amazon website.

Tribest Citristar Electric Citrus Juicer

The limitations of this juicer is that it is only good for citrus fruits. On the flip side, it is easily the best choice if you are mainly interested in making great tasting orange juice drinks on a regular basis.

This machine is made by the Tribest Corporation who produce many high end juicers, such as the Greenstar range. You can be confident that this is a high quality product.

It is an automatic juicer that works when you push some citrus fruits onto the reamer. As the reamer spins, there are two parts that are like oars which mix the pulp to help extract a high quantity of orange juice.

I use the OrangeX manual citrus juicer rather than an electrical model like this one. The OrangeX is about double the price of the Citristar but I like it’s environmental credentials (no electricity) and the fact that it can also juice pomegranates

Hamilton Beach 67650 Review

This juicer is one of the most popular on the market today. At time of writing, there are around 400 [EDIT: over 450] customer reviews for this model on Amazon with an average rating of 4/5. To me this is much more re-assuring than a rating of 5/5 but with only a handful of reviews. This is not a juicer that I own, instead, I opted for the Breville BJE200XL. They are both budget centrifugal juicers but it is actually the Hamilton Beach that is the cheaper of the two.

Firstly I shall outline the features and specifications of this machine followed by a discussion of the pros and cons as I see them to purchasing this machine. The best price Hamilton Beach 67650 juicer can be found if you shop online at Amazon.

Specifications:

• high powered centrifugal juicer with 1.1 horsepower motor (equates to 820 watts)
• 3 inch wide feed tube
• cleaning brush and collection beaker included with unit
• dishwasher safe
• 14.4 by 10 by 18 inches in size

The 67650 Big Mouth Pro Juice Extractor is a powerful centrifugal juicer produced by Hamilton Beach. It is slightly more powerful than the Breville BJE200XL juicer but actually costs slightly less. Both of these machines have  a 3 inch wide opening to feed your fruit and vegetables into. This may not seem particularly big however is actually considerably larger than juicers like the Magimix le Duo. I personally use the Magimix juicer but it does involve more chopping, to ensure things will fit into the machine, than either the Breville or Hamilton Beach machines. So even though it may not seem all that significant, with the Hamilton Beach 67650 Big Mouth Pro you will be able to save time preparing your ingredients every time you use the machine. One of the big advantages of centrifugal juicers over more expensive masticating juicers is that they are quick. The large chute make using this machine even faster.

Hamilton Beach 67650 Parts

As the 67650 juicer comes with a collection jug it means you do not have to spend time tracking down an appropriate container to collect your juice. The beaker is the perfect height to match up with the juicer which means there will be no loss through wayward splashes. Another bonus is the cleaning brush that is included. Again this may not seem all that significant but a brush is an essential item to allow you to get the strainer basket completely clear of the small pulp particles that are produced during juicing. It also speeds up the cleaning procedure. Of course you can use your dishwasher but for me, the most important thing is to try to clean your juicer as soon after use as possible. Doing so means you are much more likely to be able to get away with rinsing rather than washing with soapy water.

The Hamilton Beach 67650 juicer takes up more space than the Breville BJE200XL mentioned above. This may or may not factor into the equation. Both juicers are in the same class (under $100), they are both great entry level centrifugal machines. The Hamilton Beach model is slightly more powerful and is a little cheaper. But for me, the size and styling of the Breville machine is better. Maybe I’m biased though…I’ve got the Breville BJE200XL but I don’t have this particular model from Hamilton Beach. You can check out further customer reviews on Amazon.com. This is the best place to buy a Hamilton Beach 67650 because they offer the lowest price that I’ve been able to find online.
