TOP 9 best screw juicers according to customer reviews

Fans of fresh juice are increasingly preferring auger juicers rather than centrifugal ones. Its role was played in part by marketing, claiming that with the so-called cold pressing at low speeds, more vitamins are retained - this has not been proven, so this information is not 100% worth believing. Still, screw juicers have a number of advantages - they are "omnivorous", less noisy, they have a higher efficiency, the juice is more homogeneous and practically without foam. Plus they use less electricity.

To make it easier for you to choose, with the help of experts and simple housewives, I have compiled the TOP-9 of the best screw juicers of 2020. For convenience, I have divided the rating into 2 parts - premium segment and budget screw juicers. I must say that state employees do not lose much to expensive competitors. But first things first, let's start with the premium models.

TOP 5 premium segment auger juicers

Models of the premium segment are distinguished by well-thought-out ergonomics, in most cases they have additional functionality out of the box - there are nozzles for making sorbets and smoothies. As a rule, they have 2 modes of operation - main and reverse. However, there are some among them that can offer something special. A striking example is the Mirandi J-100, which opens our rating.

Mirandi J-100

The most functional juicer in the ranking takes the first place. The screw rotation speed is adjustable from 45 to 55 rpm, power 200 W, maximum continuous operation time 20 minutes. With its help, you can not only squeeze juices from any vegetables and fruits, including fibrous ones, but also make homemade sorbets from frozen berries and fruits, prepare nut milk or chop vegetables for salad. Additional options are implemented using complete attachments. This functionality of the model made it special in terms of management. Unlike most competitors, controlled by 1 mechanical button, there is a whole touch panel - 4 touch buttons and mode icons that are highlighted during activity. There are 8 modes in total.

• For hard vegetables.
• For medium-hard fruits and vegetables.
• For soft ingredients.
• For vitamin cocktails.
• For vegetable juice.
• For the preparation of nut butter.
• For cutting vegetables.
• Self-cleaning mode.

This number of modes is explained by the speed selection system for the type of product, which in general has a good effect on the efficiency of the juicer, allowing you to get more juice from different products.

The peculiarity of the model is ergonomics and design. The technical part of the case is made in black, and the transparent part is made of darkened plastic, which does not oxidize under the influence of juice for a long time and retains its original beauty. The appliance is extremely enjoyable to operate thanks to the wide 80 mm mouth, allowing ingredients to be placed inside without cutting.There is a valve on the juice outlet - protecting against leaks during pauses in work. The price is 15,000 rubles.

pros

• Materials and build quality.
• Wide neck.
• Touch control.
• Separately selected spin speeds for different types of products.
• Advanced functionality (shredder, sorbet).
• Large set of attachments.
• Large containers for juice and cake.
• Ergonomics and design.

Minuses

• Price.

A great option for juicing breakfast for a family of up to 5 people. The price scares many users, but I want to assure you that you will not find anything similar in terms of spin quality, ease of use and functionality among the cheaper juicers.

Oberhof DRUCKEN Q-12

Juicer of German brand. Power 400 W, shaft rotation speed - 48 rpm, noise level - 40-60 dB. Differs in high quality materials and workmanship. The body is made of plastic and stainless steel. The powerful motor of a special design allows the auger made of ultra-durable plastic to squeeze juice even from hard and fibrous products such as nuts and celery. In terms of ease of use, it is not inferior to the leader of the rating, the neck is a little narrower - 75 mm, but still fine cutting of ingredients is not required, the cake outlet tube is made in the form of a parallelepiped without a top, which prevents its frequent clogging, and at the end of the juice outlet tube there is a plastic valve. Control-button, with 3 positions - on, off and reverse. Additional functionality can be realized only by purchasing replaceable filters for making puree, ice cream, milkshakes and smoothies - they are not included in the set.

pros

• Design and ergonomics.
• The quality of materials and workmanship.
• Simple controls.
• Additional accessories can be purchased.
• Large containers for juice and cake.

Minuses

• Price.
• No additional attachments included;
• Weight.

I could not find significant disadvantages of this model. Yes, it weighs more than 8 kg, but this is due to the use of metal and reliable plastic in the construction, that is, the minus is immediately crossed out by the plus - reliability. At the exit we have an ideal, easy-to-use, without unnecessary bells and whistles, juicer. The price may seem high, but in terms of price-quality ratio, this model is one of the best on the market. I can safely recommend it for purchase.

Panasonic MJ-L500

Juicer from a well-known brand with a high-strength steel body. It is beautiful, compact, similar in functionality to the Oberhof DRUCKEN Q-12 - 1 operating mode and reverse, can be switched with 1 button, the set includes a nozzle for making sorbet from frozen vegetables and fruits, there is a valve on the outlet tube for juice. But with ergonomics, the situation is worse - the loading neck is rather narrow, and the volume of the juice glass is only 400 ml. The price is 13,000 rubles.

pros

• Brand.
• Design and ergonomics.
• Compactness.
• Materials and build quality.
• Equipment.
• Simple controls.
• Low noise level.

Minuses

• Narrow neck.
• Small volume of the juice tank.
• The quality of pressing soft vegetables and fruits.

A good model for fans of the brand, it looks stylish, does not cause complaints about the work. The only significant disadvantage compared to competitors is the narrow mouth for feeding the ingredients; you will have to spend time on pre-cutting.

Kitfort KT-1104

The model is in a strict laconic design. The engine compartment housing is made of steel. The auger of the device can rotate at a speed of up to 70 rpm - a little faster than the higher competitors, however, this fact does not significantly affect productivity, spin quality. In terms of functionality, everything is identical to Oberhof DRUCKEN Q-12, however, filters for smoothies and frozen foods are supplied in the kit. The control is the same as that of the Oberhof, carried out by 1 button, while this model has a larger one, which is more convenient for me. Containers for juice and cake are slightly inferior in volume - 0.85l. The price is 13,500 rubles.

pros

• Design and ergonomics.
• Compactness.
• Materials and build quality.
• Equipment.
• Wide neck.
• Simple controls.

Minuses

• Great weight.

• Judging by user reviews, there is a marriage.

One of the most popular models on the Russian market, the choice of Yandex market buyers - an average rating on the site of 4.8, is recommended for purchase by 95% of those who left reviews. At the same time, judging by the negative reviews, there are specimens with defects, and the purity of pressing is lower compared to Mirandi J-100 and Oberhof DRUCKEN Q-12, the juice comes out with pulp. Therefore, the overpayment for the above models is considered appropriate. A worthy competitor with a similar price tag is the Panasonic MJ-L500.

Hurom H100 Series

A relatively new model from a well-known South Korean brand. The world's first juicer, in which baskets made of ultra-strong medical alloy ULTEM are used instead of a filter mesh - they do not clog and are easy to clean under running water or in a self-cleaning mode. Smoothie and sherbets / ice cream attachments included. The user can choose from 2 colors - bardo and platinum. The manufacturer also worried about ergonomics, equipping the juicer with two loading holes - it is very convenient to load large ingredients. You can only find fault with relatively small containers for juice and cake. Elementary control - one three-position rotary switch. The price is 40,000 rubles.

pros

• Brand.
• Design and ergonomics.
• Robust and reliable auger.
• Intelligent loading hole.
• Convenient rotary switch.
• Equipment.
• Low noise level.

If you are ready to pay for a brand and advanced developments that make life easier, then the Hurom H100 Series is your choice; if you prefer to save on such equipment, feel free to choose any model that costs up to 15,000. The Mirandi J-100 deserves special attention - it will not only squeeze juice, but also cut vegetables for salads. By the way, screw juicers are the case when cheap does not mean bad, you can find decent models in the budget segment.

TOP 4 budget screw juicers

Inexpensive juicers have basic functionality. They are inferior to premium ones in terms of efficiency and quality of extraction - the juice is obtained with pulp, and the cake from the majority of state employees comes out quite wet. Nevertheless, these opportunities are enough for a home, and their low cost determines their popularity in our market. Below are the top 4 most popular models today.

REDMOND RJ-930S

Domestic production model. The most simple to operate, control by 1 button, there is a reverse. The tanks for juice and cake have a volume of 0.6 liters. There is a plastic valve at the end of the juice outlet pipe. Of the additional functionality, there is a system of protection against overheating, protection against accidental activation if the device is not assembled or assembled incorrectly. The price is 6,000 rubles.

pros

• Compactness.
• Ease of operation.
• Does not slip or vibrate during operation.
• Low noise level.
• Book of recipes.

Minuses

• It is difficult to clean the cake from the cake.
• Poorly copes with soft foods - the output is "porridge";
• Narrow neck.
• Small, in comparison with competitors, the volume of bowls for juice and cake.

A simple juicer with a minimum set of required functions. Handles soft and hard foods easily. You can prepare vitamin cocktails from fruits, vegetables and berries according to your own preference or by following the instructions in the recipe book included.

Kitfort KT-1101

Representative of another popular domestic brand. It differs from REDMOND RJ-930S in lower power and slightly increased auger revolutions - 60-70 per minute. The performance is almost identical to the competitor.At the same time, it is more convenient to use, due to the increased volume of bowls for juice and cake - 0.8 liters. You don't have to worry about spilling juice during idle time - there is a valve at the outlet. Protection against overheating and accidental activation, as well as a reverse function are available. Disadvantages in comparison with REDMOND RJ-930S are increased dimensions and weight. The price is 6200 rubles.

pros

• Ease of operation.
• Design and several colors to choose from.
• Does not slip or vibrate during operation.
• Low noise level.

Minuses

• It is difficult to clean the cake from the cake.
• Narrow neck.

Despite the presence of negative reviews about the fragility of the device, 89% of buyers of the Yandex market recommend buying. The model is not bad, but when compared with the REDMOND RJ-930S, it costs 200 rubles more, it will take up more space in the kitchen, and there is still a risk of running into a marriage. Considering the above, I would prefer the REDMOND RJ-930S, or the even cheaper ENDEVER Sigma-92.

ENDEVER Sigma-92

Chinese juicer, which in terms of functionality and volume of bowls is comparable to Scarlett SC-JE50S43. At the same time, in my opinion, it looks more expensive, the materials of the bowls are of better quality, and it costs 1,300 rubles less.

pros

• Design.
• Ease of operation.
• Does not slip or vibrate during operation.
• Low noise level.

Minuses

Even the lack of spare parts in the public domain, one way or another, applies to all budget juicers. 86% of users of the Yandex market recommend and I join them.

Scarlett SC-JE50S43

It is in no way inferior to competitors above. The functionality is similar - 1 speed, reverse, "Anti-drip" and auto-blocking of the motor in case of incorrect or incomplete assembly. The containers for juice and cake have been increased to 1 and 0.8 liters, respectively. At the same time, the material from which they are made looks more cheaply compared to competitors. However, the price is lower - 5,500 rubles.

pros

• Ease of operation.
• Does not slip or vibrate during operation.
• Low noise level.

Minuses

• Narrow neck.
• The quality and appearance of assembly materials.

97% of recommendations from users of the Yandex market. The identified disadvantages apply to all budget models. If maximum compactness is important, it is better to choose REDMOND RJ-930S, if the design and color selection is Kitfort KT-1101.

The principle of operation of the screw juicer

Screw juicers work on the same principle as meat grinders: the spiral axis rotates, advances the product put into the device, crushes it due to the pulp pushing from behind. The crushed fruit passes through a fine grate, where the juice is separated from the cake. The efficiency of such a device is much higher than that of the canonical models. In addition, this design can even handle herbs, seeds, soybeans and nuts.

Varieties of screw juicers

Among all the models of screw juicers on the market, these types stand out.

Vertical

The screw and the entire driving mechanism are vertical. The auger grabs and cuts the fruit, the pusher is practically not required during pressing. The width of such models is small, but they can reach a great height. They have the highest speed among other designs, comparable to the average performance of a centrifugal juicer.

Horizontal

The difference is in the location of the auger, as the name implies - here it is horizontal. The height of such a structure is less than that of the previous one. They are demanding for cutting raw materials before sending them into the neck, since its diameter is smaller than that of the vertical one. By analogy with a meat grinder, you have to often and actively use the pusher.The work is carried out more slowly.

Twin screw

The design uses two screws at once, which increases the amount of product processed at a time, even if it is hard or fibrous. This is a relatively young device that has come into vogue along with professional blenders in the wake of fashion for healthy eating and eating raw fruits for food.

Pros and cons of auger juicers

Benefits:

• Very good work result. The minimum spin ratio is 75%, which is twice that of centrifugal designs. All leaving residues are practically dry.
• The resulting juice is homogeneous, does not stratify.
• Uses energy sparingly. For such a mechanism, you do not need to use powerful motors, since the auger rotates at a speed of only 40-80 rpm. A 200 W motor is sufficient, which consumes a small amount of electricity.
• Large selection of products used. The auger juicer is capable of crushing almost any food - soft, hard, fibrous or fine. They can even squeeze oil from seeds.
• Quiet work. The low speed of rotation of the screw does not create much noise, on average this figure is about 50 dB, in models with high build quality and sound insulation, the noise is no more than 30 dB.
• Long shelf life of juice - there is no warm air during its production, which slows down the oxidation process. It can be stored for up to 48 hours.

disadvantages

• Preparation of products. The design features require to prepare the fruit for juicing, too large ones need to be cut into several parts, which will pass into a narrow neck.
• Duration of the process. Compared to the more complex structure of centrifugal models, augers are not able to quickly process large quantities of raw materials.
• Limited running time. After 30 minutes of intensive use, a blocking thermostat activates and shuts down the engine, protecting it from overheating.
• Higher cost compared to centrifugal ones.
• There may be some pulp in the finished juice.

What to look for when choosing

1. Screw material. The most important detail, more important than the engine power. In budget models, aluminum screws are installed. It is better to choose juicers with steel or cast iron screws. High quality plastic also works well, it is durable, does not distort the taste and quality of the juice.
2. Size and material of the filter mesh (membrane). Made of steel and plastic. Steel is used, which does not oxidize on contact with fruit juice, but if you plan to process a product of the same type, you can do with a plastic mesh. The size of the holes affects the texture of the juice and the amount of pulp in it.
3. Body material. Plastic or metal. The plastic used is safe, durable and easy to clean. But it is better not to choose white models, they quickly turn into the color of vegetables and fruits. Steel models are heavier, but more durable in use.
4. Number of screws. If you research user reviews, then one auger is enough for the production of juice from simple fruits and vegetables. But if you plan to make juice from greens, squeeze oil from nuts, seeds and grains, then it is better to choose models with two screws.
5. The presence of a reverse. Not present in every model, but very useful when you need to clean the auger. When you turn on the reverse, the auger begins to spin in the other direction, clearing itself of pieces of raw material stuck on it.
6. Number of speeds. Models with one speed are most popular, as more speeds add to the cost. According to the users themselves, the number of speeds has little effect on the work, so you should not overpay for it. But at the same time, according to professionals, the high speed copes better with hard fruits and does not allow the centrifuge to quickly clog.Also, the speed has an effect on the amount of pulp in the juice - the more revolutions during operation, the more pulp at the output.
7. Functional. Additional functions help you and optimize your work. Most of all, buyers value the automatic ejection of pulp, direct supply of the finished drink, and the anti-drip system. Experts also advise to pay attention to the presence of locks from accidental start, protection against overloads and overheating, etc. Additional functions include the presence of various attachments, for example, for making pasta from frozen fruits, a nozzle for shredding or slicing, cooking noodles.
8. Noise level during operation. On average, the indicator for inexpensive models is 50 dB, but if there is a need for quiet operation, it is better to overpay a little and get the indicator twice lower.
9. Manufacturer. Choose trusted brands or budget ones that have not been tested by other users - the most popular brands will be considered in more detail below the TOP of juicers in the current year.
10. Power. The speed of preparation of the product depends on it. On average, this figure is 200 W - it gives a glass of juice in about 2 minutes. Sufficient for home use.
11. Time of continuous work. Many models have a specified maximum duration of use, after which the juicer shuts off to lower the motor temperature.
12. Size and weight. It is selected based on the size of the kitchen and the intended storage space.
