6 Best Juicers for Leafy Greens Juicing — 2023 Guide

Extract­ing the juice from Leafy Greens is instead a chal­leng­ing task, and not every style of juicer will be able to han­dle it prop­er­ly. For exam­ple, all Mas­ti­cat­ing Cold Press Slow Juicers such as Twin Gear, Hor­i­zon­tal Sin­gle Auger, and Ver­ti­cal Sin­gle Auger, but exclud­ing the fast Mas­ti­cat­ing Cham­pi­on Juicers, will do very well at juic­ing all types of fleshy and non-fleshy leafy greens. On the oth­er hand, even pre­mi­um Cen­trifu­gal juicers will be able to extract juice ONLY from fleshy greens like bok choy, let­tuce, and oth­ers (low yield, though) but are almost use­less when juic­ing the non-fleshy pro­duce like kale, pars­ley, or arugula.

So, this arti­cle will not review cen­trifu­gal juicers since it is about the best juic­ing machines for extract­ing juice from Leafy Greens.

Dis­clo­sure: As an Ama­zon Asso­ciate, we may earn an affil­i­ate com­mis­sion for pur­chas­es you make when using the links on this page.

Leafy greens: kale, broc­coli, col­lard greens, let­tuce, spinach, cab­bage, bok choy, pars­ley, arugu­la, chard, curly endive, mache, mizu­na, tat soi, dan­de­lion, water­cress, romaine, turnip green, beet­root green, mus­tard green, Chi­nese broc­coli, broc­coli rabe, arti­choke, Brus­sel sprouts, aspara­gus, rap­i­ni, savoy, cau­li­flower, rhubarb.

How We Select the Best Juicers for Leafy Greens

Depend­ing on what type of Leafy Greens pro­duce you intend to juice, the dif­fer­ent types of mas­ti­cat­ing juicers will han­dle them with var­i­ous degrees of suc­cess. And unfor­tu­nate­ly, there is no such thing as the per­fect machine for every­thing; each style has its pros and cons, such as pro­duc­ing a lot of foam but offer­ing the best, mul­ti­func­tion­al but very expen­sive yield.

So, we will not present the list of so-called best juicers for the leafy greens but, in fact, list the ama­zon best-sell­ing juic­ing machines as the major­i­ty of reviews do. Instead, we will describe the pros and cons of each type of juice extrac­tor that works well for juic­ing greens and offer you the pre­mi­um and bud­get mod­els for every kind of machine, so you can choose the best device that will gen­uine­ly be best for your needs.

We also will not rec­om­mend the Chi­nese Knock­off machines but will review them lat­er and out­line all the pros and cons of these machines for dif­fer­ent types of produce.

Notice: To dis­pel unre­al­is­tic expec­ta­tions about juic­ing, we must men­tion that spinach will always pro­duce an enor­mous amount of foam regard­less of the type of juicer you use.

Twin-Gear Masticating/Triturating Slow Cold Press Juicers

Twin-Gear mas­ti­cat­ing juicers press and crash pro­duce between two tight­ly rotat­ed rod-shaped gears, press­ing the juice against the fine screen. The gears usu­al­ly rotate with the slow 82–160 rpm speed, the fastest among all the slow mas­ti­cat­ing juicers.

The Twin Gear mod­els are ide­al for juic­ing leafy greens, wheat­grass, all veg­eta­bles, and even most fruits.

Pros:

• Offer the best leafy greens juice qual­i­ty of all and thus rec­om­mend by a nutritionist;
• Deliv­er the high­est yield for leafy greens and most of the oth­er produce;
• Less pulpy leafy greens out­put than oth­er mas­ti­cat­ing juices

Cons:

• They are not the eas­i­est to use and clean;
• Usu­al­ly pro­duce more foam (because the fastest, the faster speed, the more foam);
• Most expen­sive.

Super Angel Pro/Plus/Premium Deluxe Juicer

The Super Angel Juicer is the best and most expen­sive twin gear masticating/triturating slow juicer man­u­fac­tured in South Korea. It is entire­ly made from stain­less steel and is avail­able in 3 main mod­els such as Angel Pro (5500 in Europe), Angel Plus (7500 in Europe), and Angel Pre­mi­um Deluxe (8500 in Europe).  All three mod­els have the same shape, look, and con­struc­tion but have minor dif­fer­ences in con­trols and the type of stain­less steel some part of the machine is made of.

Set includes:

• Motor Base Unit;
• Juice and pulp containers;
• Acces­sories: Clean­ing Brush, Scrub­bing Bris­tle, Screen Scraper, Stan­dard Wood­en Push­er, Wood­en Push­er with Sil­i­cone Seal (for soft fruit juicing);
• Pow­er Cord;
• Instruc­tion Man­u­al. 

Main Body and Motor Unit: The entire juicer hous­ing is made of high-qual­i­ty food-grade stain­less steel. All main Juicer body parts, such as a motor, gear­box, cool­ing sys­tems, safe­ty sen­sors, and con­trol pan­el, were upgrad­ed in 2018 to com­ply with the U.S. elec­tri­cal specifications.

The 180 watts motor rotates the twin gears with the slow speed of 82 rpm and comes with the safe­ty fea­tures – 1) it will run if only ful­ly and ade­quate­ly assem­bled; 2) a built-in auto­mat­ic over­heat­ing sys­tem; 3)a built-in clutch that pre­vents dam­age to the engine if a for­eign object gets into the feed­ing chute; 4) pro­tec­tion from elec­tric shocks.

Gears/Auger: The 100% stain­less steel Super Angel Juicer twin gear fea­tures the most effi­cient three-stage pro­duce pro­cess­ing — 1^st stage grinds ingre­di­ents, 2^nd stage press­es pro­duce, and 3^rd stage squeezes all the last drops.

Its twin gear has the largest size among all twin gears juicers — 8 ⅜” (212.7mm) length and 1⅜” (34mm) diam­e­ter) that allows extract­ing the high­est juice yield across all types of juicers and all twin-gear machines.

Juic­ing screen: Three (3) stage screen is designed to sieve the juice from each of the three (3) stages processed by twin gears. This results, on aver­age, in 15% — 30% more juice extract­ed than oth­er mas­ti­cat­ing juicers.

Drum and Feed­ing Chute: The Angel Juicer comes with irre­mov­able 1.7 inch­es (43 mm) feed­ing chute.  The feed­ing chute is not very wide, it is undoubt­ed­ly required pre-cut for most of the ingre­di­ents, but it com­plies with the hor­i­zon­tal juicers’ safe­ty requirements.

Con­tain­ers: The Super Angel comes with 1 Quart/4 cups/32 oz./1000ml Pyrex Glass juic­ing con­tain­er and a large 48 oz./ 1400ml plas­tic pulp container.

Pres­sure Adjust­ment Juic­ing Knob: It does not have any pres­sure adjust­ment option for the pulp; the Angel process effi­cient­ly all types of food with­out this option.

Func­tion­al­i­ty: The Super Angel Juicer is the only mul­ti-func­tion­al juicer on the mar­ket that han­dle all types of fruits and veg­etable almost per­fect­ly, so it can juice:

• Leafy Greens;
• Wheat­grass;
• Shoots and Sprouts;
• Cel­ery;
• Pine nee­dles;
• Cit­ruses;
• Soft Fruit and veg­eta­bles like pineapples;
• Pome­gran­ates.

You can also buy blank and grind­ing screens for addi­tion­al food pro­cess­ing tasks such as raw milk from soy, nuts, grains, nut but­ter, and frozen desserts.

Leafy Greens Juice Yield: 2.2lbs/1 kg spinach and kale mix­ture pro­duce 630–650 ml of juice.

Clean­ing and assembling/disassembling: The Super Angel has unique and very dif­fer­ent from any oth­er twin gear juicer’s design. The drum with chute, juic­ing screen, and end cap comes as one piece known as Extract­ing Hous­ing, mak­ing it the eas­i­est twin-gear machine to use, assemble/disassemble, and clean. Three (3) main com­po­nents need clean­ing — the Extract­ing Hous­ing, the two Augers, and Splash Guard.

War­ran­ty: The juicer comes with a ten (10) years Lim­it­ed non-trans­ferrable War­ran­ty that is applic­a­ble for the Motor and a 5‑year war­ran­ty for Extract­ing Hous­ing, Twin Gears, Screen Scraper (Clean­ing Knife), and Pow­er Cord.

Dimen­sions: 19 1/2″ L x 7 3/4″ W x 10 1/2″ H/495mm x 196mm X 267mm; Weight: 20.8 lbs /9.5kg.

Sum­ma­ry: The Super Angel Juice Extrac­tor is an extreme­ly expen­sive machine. How­ev­er, if you are look­ing for the best juicer avail­able on the mar­ket, then look no fur­ther. It is not only extract­ed 15–30% more juice (that will save on the price of pro­duce) from any ingre­di­ents than any oth­er mas­ti­cat­ing juicer on the mar­ket but also has a stun­ning design, 100% made of stain­less steel, and will last for decades.

Omega TWN30S Twin Gear Slow Cold Press Masticating Juicer

Omega TWN30S is the first and the only Omega twin gear (also called a trit­u­rat­ing) juicer mod­el. It was intro­duced to the mar­ket in 2016 and is still the most afford­able twin-gear machine avail­able. Omega is oper­at­ed by the co-estab­lished USA and South Kore­an com­pa­nies; all Omega machines are man­u­fac­tured in a fac­to­ry in South Korea.

Set includes:

• Omega TWN30S Juicer;
• One (1) fine juic­ing screen, one (1) coarse screen, and a blank cone;
• One (1) juice bowl and one (1) pulp bowl;
• Acces­sories: 2 Push­ers (wood­en and plas­tic), Strainer/Sieve, clean­ing brush, lock­ing handle;
• User man­u­al.

Motor unit: It comes with a 150 Watts motor that rotates the auger with a slow speed of 160 rpm. The Omega TWN30S has a small body foot­print and is light­weight. It also comes with an inbuilt han­dle for con­ve­nient moving.

The juicer is designed for 30 min­utes of con­tin­u­ous operation.

Gears/Augers: It has two inter­lock­ing and rotat­ing inward gears that are approx­i­mate­ly 4.3 inch­es long. They are made of stain­less steel and BPA-FREE nylon mate­r­i­al. The gears fea­ture two-stage trit­u­rat­ing action, which means the first stain­less steel part is respon­si­ble for crush­ing and grind­ing pro­duce, while the sec­ond nylon is account­able for squeez­ing produce.

Gears are about 50% short­er than Angel Juicer gears.

Juic­ing Screen: The machine comes with a fine (stan­dard juic­ing func­tions), coarse (soft fruits and veg­gies juic­ing) juic­ing screen, and blank cone (food pro­cess­ing tasks). The juic­ing screen is made of clear plas­tic (dura­bil­i­ty is ques­tion­able) with stain­less steel meshed sec­tion. The screen is rel­a­tive­ly small, which is con­sis­tent with the over­all mod­er­ate size of the machine.

Chute and Pro­duce Feed­ing: It comes with a cir­cu­lar 1.5” in diam­e­ter feed chute, and the leafy greens are fed with­out prob­lem into the chute.

How­ev­er, the wider chute is desir­able for oth­er ingre­di­ents like beets and apples. The hard prod­ucts such as car­rots, beets, or apples require some effort to push into a chute with the pusher.

Con­tain­ers: The Omega TWN30S Mas­ti­cat­ing Juicer comes with two Tri­tan copoly­esters (BPA-Free) con­tain­ers for juice and pulp.

Pres­sure Adjust­ment Juic­ing Knob: The machine fea­tures a pres­sure adjust­ment cup. It does not have any set­tings; how­ev­er, you turn it clock­wise for max­i­mum pres­sure, which is best for leafy greens and healthy veg­gies; release the knob by turn­ing it anti-clock­wise for soft­er produce.

Func­tion­al­i­ty:

• Leafy greens juice;
• Cel­ery juice;
• Wheat­grass juice;
• Veg­etable juice like beets, car­rots, sweet pota­to, and cucumber;
• Cit­rus juice;
• Fruit juice like apples and strawberries;
• Nut milk and nut butter;
• Frozen fruit sorbet;
• Baby food.

The juicer comes with a coarse juic­ing screen for soft­er pro­duce and a bank cone that allows the user to expand the machine func­tion­al­i­ty and make frozen fruit sor­bets, sal­sas and sauces, nut milk, nut but­ter, baby foods, and grind oth­er foods.

Leafy Greens Juice Yield: The 2.2 lbs/1 kg of baby spinach and kale mix­ture pro­duces, on aver­age, 550ml — 560ml of juice with lit­tle foam. 

Clean­ing, Assem­bling, Dis­as­sem­bling, and Oper­at­ing: This machine is tru­ly very easy to assemble/disassemble, clean, and use. It has few­er parts to assemble/disassemble and clean than oth­er twin auger juicers – juicer body with fix­ing col­lar, drum with chute, two gears, juic­ing screen, and end cap.

The con­trols con­sist of only one swith­er that has ON/Rev/Off posi­tions. The Rev (reverse) func­tion is designed for releas­ing food jams and clogs.

War­ran­ty: The Omega TWN30S Juicer is equipped with a 15-year parts & per­for­mance War­ran­ty for the USA/Canada and a 1‑year Com­mer­cial and Inter­na­tion­al Warranty.

If you need cus­tomer ser­vice, con­tact them direct­ly via e‑mail at [email protected] or call toll-free 1–800-633‑3401 (9 am — 4 pm (EST) Mon­day — Fri­day exclud­ing Week­ends and Hol­i­days). 

Dimen­sions: 12″ (305 mm) H × 6.5″ (165 mm) W × 17.3″ (440 mm) D, weights 14.3 lb (6.5 kg).

Sum­ma­ry: If you do a lot of greens and want to buy an ulti­mate leafy green juicer for a rea­son­able price, then Omega TWN30S Juicer is worth con­sid­er­ing. It is effort­less to use and clean; it deliv­ers high leafy greens juice yield. The only cons of this machine are that it could be hard to feed the firm prod­ucts like beets or carrots.

Horizontal Single Auger Masticating Juicers

Hor­i­zon­tal Sin­gle Auger Mas­ti­cat­ing Juicers employs a hor­i­zon­tal, slow­ly rotat­ing auger with an aver­age speed of 50–120 rpm that squash­es pro­duce against a per­fo­rat­ed fil­ter to squeeze the juice.

They are the sec­ond-best machines for extract­ing leafy green juice. Like the twin gear machine, the hor­i­zon­tal sin­gle auger juicer part for leafy green also per­forms well on grass, hard veg­gies and fruits, and cit­ruses. They also often come with a range of extra acces­sories that allow doing food pro­cess­ing tasks such as mak­ing purees, nut but­ter, nut milk, frozen treats, and extrud­ing noo­dle dough.

Pros:

• Shows the sec­ond-best leafy greens juice yield;
• Easy to feed leafy greens;
• Eas­i­est to use and clean;
• Not very foamy juice;
• Most afford­able;

Cons:

• Sec­ond best for the leafy green juice yield.

Omega NC800/NC900 Juicer Extractor and Nutrition Center

Omega NC800/900 is a 6th gen­er­a­tion sin­gle auger hor­i­zon­tal mas­ti­cat­ing slow juicer released in 2017 and man­u­fac­tured in South Korea. It is avail­able in three mod­els, NC800HDS, NC800HDR, and NC900HDC, that have iden­ti­cal tech­ni­cal para­me­ters but dif­fer only by the col­or — NC800HDS has a sil­ver fin­ish,  NC800HDR has a red col­or, while NC900HDC has a chrome fin­ish — the NC800HDS and NC800HDR mod­els retails about $50-$70 cheap­er than NC900.

Set Includes:

• Omega NC800/NC900 Juicer Extractor;
• Juic­ing Screen and Blank Cone;
• Juice and Pulp containers;
• Adjustable pres­sure Juic­ing End Cap and Blank End Cap;
• One (1) adjustable juic­ing noz­zle and four (4) pas­ta nozzles;
• Acces­sories: Push­er, Clean­ing brush;
• User Man­u­al.

Motor unit: The juicer body has a new­er design for the 6^th gen­er­a­tion NC800 and NC900 mod­els; it also comes with an inbuilt handle.

The machine fea­tures 150 watts 110–120V motor that runs the auger with a slow speed of 80 rpm.

Drum, Chute, and Pro­duce Feed­ing: The Omega NC800/900 Juicer comes with a trans­par­ent made of BPA-free Tri­tan copoly­ester drum, an irre­mov­able chute with hop­per, and the oval shape 2” X 1.5” feed­ing chute (larg­er than Omega 8006/8008 the 5^th gen­er­a­tion mod­els). The large feed chute makes it eas­i­er to feed leafy greens and larg­er firm pro­duce pieces. 

Gears/Auger: The auger is made of GE ULTEM, BPA-free, the mate­r­i­al known for extra strength, which is used for med­ical instru­men­ta­tion due to its chem­i­cals and stress resis­tance. So the GE ULTEM ensures a longer lifes­pan for the auger.

Juic­ing Screen: It comes with a two-stage juic­ing screen. The 1st stage is made of GE ULTIMA extra strong plas­tic and extracts juice from the ingre­di­ents that are just smashed; the 2nd stage is made of stain­less steel and squeezes out the rest of the juice from the crushed pulp. 

End Cap and Adjust­ment Knobs: The machine has an adjustable end cap with 1 to 5 set­tings, which sets how much pres­sure to prop­a­gate on the pulp. The leafy greens will require adjust­ing the cap to set­ting 5 for the best yield. At the same time, the soft fruits and veg­gies will need to set one (1) or a com­plete­ly removed cap.

Con­tain­ers: It fea­tures Tri­tan copoly­ester BPA-free stress-resis­tant juic­ing and pulp containers.

Func­tion­al­i­ty:

• Leafy greens juice, includ­ing pine needles;
• Cel­ery juice;
• Wheat­grass juice;
• Veg­etable juice;
• Cit­rus juice;
• Fruit juice;
• Nut but­ter;
• Nut milk;
• Baby food;
• Pas­ta.

The juicer set includes a blank cone with a blank end cap and a set of 4 pas­ta noz­zles, so it can per­form a range of food pro­cess­ing tasks such as mak­ing frozen desserts, baby food, sal­sas, grind­ing cof­fee beans, mak­ing nut but­ter, and nut/soy milk and extrudes home­made spaghet­ti, lin­gui­ni, and a breadstick.

Leafy Greens Juice Yield: 2.2lbs/1 kg of baby spinach and kale mix­ture pro­duces 530ml — 550 ml with lit­tle foam.

Clean­ing and assembling/disassembling, oper­at­ing: This Juicer is one of the eas­i­est to assemble/disassemble, clean, and use that is avail­able on the mar­ket. It has only a few parts to assemble/disassemble, and it has only four (4) pieces for clean­ing – drum with chute, auger, screen, and end cap – the three of which could be sim­ply cleaned with run­ning water, and only juic­ing screen will require a lit­tle effort to wash it out with a brush.

Con­trols: The machine has only one switch with On/Reverse/Off functions.

War­ran­ty: Omega fea­tures the best in the indus­try, 15-year parts & per­for­mance for USA/Canada, and a 1‑year Com­mer­cial Warranty.

Cus­tomer ser­vice must be con­tact­ed direct­ly no mat­ter which retail­er you bought your unit from e‑mail to [email protected] or call toll-free 1–800-633‑3401 (EST 9 am — 4 pm East­ern Time Mon­day — Fri­day exclud­ing Week­ends and Holidays).

Dimen­sions: 6.5” W × 14.5” D × 15.5” H (165mm W × 368mm D × 394mm H), Weight13.0 lb/ 5kg.

Sum­ma­ry: This “mul­ti­ple use” appli­ance does a great job with juic­ing leafy greens; it not only deliv­ers good juice yield but also does not pro­duce as much foam as most twin-gear machines do. The adjustable pres­sure end cap and larg­er juic­ing screen allow this to excel juicer at a wide range of prod­ucts such as firm veg­gies and fruits, cel­ery, and wheat­grass juice; it also can make soft fruit juice (though it is not excel­lent), and the includ­ed blank cone and blank end cup allow to per­form a range of food pro­cess­ing tasks. Besides, this machine is straight­for­ward to clean and avail­able at a very rea­son­able price for such a rep­utable brand juicer.

Omega CNC80S Compact Slow Nutrition Center Juicer

Omega CNC80S is the most com­pact low-speed mas­ti­cat­ing sin­gle auger juicer and nutri­tion sys­tem that can per­form all the func­tions of CN800/CN900 Omega machines and is man­u­fac­tured in South Korea.

Set Includes:

• Omega CNC80S Juicer;
• Juic­ing Screen and Blank Cone;
• Juice with Pulp containers;
• Adjustable pres­sure Juic­ing End Cap and Blank End Cap;
• One (1) adjustable juic­ing noz­zle and four (4) pas­ta nozzles;
• Acces­sories: Push­er, Clean­ing brush;
• User Man­u­al.

Motor unit: The motor body with an inbuilt han­dle hous­es the 200 Watts, 110–120V motor that rotates the auger with a slow 80rpm speed.

Drum, Chute, and Pro­duce Feed­ing: It has an irre­mov­able feed chute that makes one peace with the drum and is made from BPA-free Tri­tan copoly­ester mate­r­i­al. The chute has a cres­cent shape of 2 inch­es X 1.5 inch­es in diam­e­ter. This wider than usu­al­ly sin­gle auger mas­ti­cat­ing juicer chute is very easy to feed, espe­cial­ly with leafy greens. How­ev­er, you will need to cut larg­er pro­duce like apples and beets. 

Gears/Auger: The sin­gle auger screw is made of GE ULTEM plas­tic used to pro­duce med­ical and chem­i­cal equip­ment because it is very strong, heat, and sol­vent-resis­tant. The Omega CNC80S auger is slight­ly short­er than the CN800/900 mod­els. 

Juic­ing Screen: It fea­tures a Tri­tan copoly­ester (BPA-free plas­tic) two-stage juic­ing cone with two stain­less steel juic­ing screens. The two-stage screen means more juice yield since it squeezes it in two stages. The 1st stage is siev­ing the first juice from just crushed pro­duce; the 2nd small­er juic­ing screen deals with the pulp and press­es out the rest of the juice from the pulp. 

End Cap and Adjust­ment Knobs: Like all Omega’s 5^th and 6^th gen­er­a­tion sin­gle auger juicers, this machine has an adjustable end cap with 1 to 5 set­tings that sets how much pres­sure to force on the pulp. The leafy greens will need set­ting 5 for the best result, while soft fruits will require set­ting 1 for the best yield.

Con­tain­ers: The Juic­ing Extrac­tor comes with 24 oz./700ml Tri­tan copoly­ester (BPA-free) juic­ing cup with mea­sure­ments only in ml and a sim­i­lar size to the pulp con­tain­er. The juic­ing con­tain­er also includes a remov­able sieve for strain­ing excess pulp.
Func­tion­al­i­ty:

• Leafy greens juice;
• Cel­ery juice;
• Wheat­grass juice;
• Veg­etable juice;
• Cit­rus juice;
• Fruit juice;
• Nut but­ter;
• Nut milk;
• Baby food;
• Frozen treats/sorbet
• Pas­ta.

The machine is excel­lent for leafy greens and wheat­grass and very good for fruit and vegetables.

Addi­tion­al acces­sories such as blank cones, caps, and pas­ta noz­zles allow this machine to per­form var­i­ous food pro­cess­ing tasks.

Leafy Greens Juice Yield: 2.2lbs 1 kg of leafy greens pro­duce 530ml — 550 ml of juice. 

Clean­ing, assembling/disassembling, oper­at­ing: This machine is one of the eas­i­est juicers to assemble/ dis­as­sem­ble, clean and use. It has only a few parts to assemble/disassemble — drum with chute, auger, screen, and end cap and thus few parts to clean. You just rinse the drum, auger, and cap and brush the juic­ing screen, which is also very easy and fast to clean.

War­ran­ty: As with all the Omega Juice Extrac­tors, this machine comes with an out­stand­ing 15 years war­ran­ty on parts and per­for­mance for the USA / Canada.

You should con­tact Omega cus­tomer ser­vice direct­ly if you have any issues with the machine: e- [email protected] or call toll-free at 1–800-633‑3401.

Vertical Slow Juicers/ single auger masticating juicers/cold press

A ver­ti­cal juicer works sim­i­lar­ly to a hor­i­zon­tal sin­gle-auger, with the only dif­fer­ence being that the auger/screw is rotat­ed hor­i­zon­tal­ly instead of ver­ti­cal­ly. They are the slow­est juicer among all the mas­ti­cat­ing extrac­tors rotat­ing the auger at a speed of 40–80 rpm.

The ver­ti­cal mas­ti­cat­ing slow juicer is also the best all-func­tions juice that is good not only at extract­ing leafy green juice but also at hard and firm fruits and veg­eta­bles, cit­rus, and berries. Some pre­mi­um ver­ti­cal juicers also come with acces­sories for food pro­cess­ing tasks and are able to make nut milk and frozen treats.

Pros:

• Deliv­er sec­ond to third best yield for leafy greens juice:
• Pro­duce less foam than any oth­er mas­ti­cat­ing juicers;
• Very user-friend­ly;
• Best mul­ti­func­tion­al juicers;

Cons:

• Not easy to feed leafy greens, and they need pre-cutting.

• Acces­sories: two (2) brush­es, tofu press, dry­ing rack (option­al), and hop­per lid for stor­age (option­al).

Motor and Body Unit: Hurom H‑AA Slow Juicer has a very sleek and mod­ern design. The ABS plas­tic hous­es the high-qual­i­ty sin­gle-phase induc­tion 150 Watts motor with excel­lent torque, so it does not expe­ri­ence any clog­ging with firm ingre­di­ents like beets or car­rots. It runs the auger with a slow speed of only 43 rpm.

The machine is equipped with a cool­ing fan and over­heat­ing sys­tem, which auto­mat­i­cal­ly stops the motor if it is over­loaded. It also has an inbuilt safe­ty mag­net­ic sen­sor that will not start the machine unless assem­bled cor­rect­ly. The Juicer is designed to run for up to 30 min­utes before the user advis­es to cool it out before con­tin­u­ing; how­ev­er, it may run for a few hours with­out stopping.

Drum, Hop­per, and Feed­ing Chute: The Hurom drum, with a capac­i­ty of 17.6 oz./500 ml, is made of BPA-free Tri­tan copoly­ester mate­r­i­al and fea­tures a fair­ly wide pulp out­let and inno­v­a­tive pulp con­trol lever that is designed to release the pulp if it is stacked, thus min­i­miz­ing clogging.

The Spout comes with a non-drip juic­ing cap that keeps juice inside the cham­ber until you open it. It is also equipped with a good-qual­i­ty bush­ing that pre­vents drum leaking.

The feed­ing chute has a 1.5 X 2 inch­es cres­cent shape open­ing. The leafy greens ingre­di­ents (as with any oth­er ver­ti­cal machine) must be cut into 1–2 inch­es pieces before feed­ing them into the chute; oth­er­wise, it will clog.

The Hop­per and feed­ing chute is also pro­vid­ed with safe­ty fea­tures that pre­vent the machine from run­ning if it is not prop­er­ly con­nect­ed to the drum. In addi­tion, the hop­per is made from a semi­trans­par­ent mate­r­i­al that allows the user to see the ingre­di­ents as they are insert­ed into the chamber.

Gears/Auger: The machine fea­tures a two-wing sin­gle ver­ti­cal auger made of strong, chem­i­cal-resis­tant GE Ultem poly­mer. The two-wing auger has a new and improved design com­pared to the Hurom 2nd gen­er­a­tion juicers that ensure more effi­cient cut­ting of the prod­uct when they are com­ing down to the auger stage for processing.

Juic­ing Screen: It con­sists of two parts — the Juic­ing Screen and Spin­ning Brush­es. The juic­ing screen sieves the mashed pro­duce sep­a­rat­ing the juice and pulp while the Spin­ning Brush ensures that the juice and pulp are mixed thor­ough­ly before the sep­a­ra­tion, thus max­i­miz­ing the nation­al val­ue and yield of the final juice.

The juic­ing screen is made of extra-strong Ultem plas­tic with stain­less steel sieves, while the spin­ning brush is made of the same extra-strong Ultem plas­tic with sil­i­con blades.

The juicer pack­age also includes two(2) addi­tion­al screens – the Coarse screen (for soft fruits and veg­gies juic­ing) and the Blank screen for mak­ing smooth­ies, frozen treats, nut milk, and oth­er homog­e­niz­ing food pro­cess­ing tasks.

Con­tain­ers: The H‑AA Slow Juicer comes with a nest­ing 35 oz./1000ml Juice and Pulp con­tain­ers are both made from BPA-free, impact-resis­tant Tri­tan copoly­ester material.

Func­tion­al­i­ty:

• Leafy Greens;
• Cel­ery;
• Wheat­grass;
• Hard and soft fruits;
• Hard and soft veggies;
• Nut and soy milk;
• Ice cream, sor­bet & frozen yogurt;
• Makes tofu.

The pack­age includes a coarse juic­ing screen for the best result when mak­ing soft fruits and veg­gies juice; it also comes with a blank screen that allows pro­cess­ing frozen treats, nut milk, and others.

Leafy Greens Juice Yield: 2.2lbs/1kfg of spinach and kale mix­ture pro­duces about 520–530 ml of juice.

Clean­ing and assembling/disassembling: The ver­ti­cal juicer gen­er­al­ly is not the eas­i­est to clean as it does not have a very easy-to-clean drum, small pulp out­let, and largest juic­ing screen. How­ev­er, some of the 2^nd and 3^rd gen­er­a­tion juicers, includ­ing Hurom H‑AA, which comes with the non-drip cap juic­ing out­let, allow doing a pre­wash by pour­ing some after and run­ning juicers after the juic­ing ses­sion. This pro­ce­dure allows you to do some job and make it eas­i­er to clean the juicer after it is dis­as­sem­bled. The most com­pli­cat­ed part of clean­ing this machine is the juic­ing screen which must be scrapped with the brush­es pro­vid­ed in the package.

Con­trols: How­ev­er, the ver­ti­cal juicer is very easy to use; first of all, they are prac­ti­cal­ly self-feed­ing, so they do not require push­ing any ingre­di­ents, and the same as all oth­er slow juicers, have sim­ple con­trol that con­sists of one switch that reg­u­lates On/Off and revers­es function.

War­ran­ty: The Hurom H‑AA machine has ten (10) years’ motor and two (2) years parts Lim­it­ed War­ran­ty. It is a glob­al com­pa­ny, so for cus­tomer sup­port, con­tact the region­al sup­port team direct­ly; the con­tact details you may find on their web­site https://www.globalhurom.com/support/contact-us.

Dimen­sions: 8.8” X 7.1” X 16”/223x 179.7 x 407.4mm, weights 10.6lbs/4.8kg.

Sum­ma­ry: After Hurom invent­ed the ver­ti­cal mod­el, oth­er com­pa­nies start­ed to repli­cate it. They spend a lot of time and effort on juicer improve­ment and R & D; there­fore, no doubt they are ahead of all oth­er man­u­fac­tur­ers when inno­vat­ing this type of juicer, from man­u­fac­tur­ers juicers for many brands such as Omega, Sana, and oth­ers. The Hurom H‑AA mod­el has many new fea­tures, such as a pulp con­trol lever, a new auger two-wing design, and a no-drip juic­ing out­let cap; Hurom’s ear­li­er inven­tion was intro­duced with 2^nd gen­er­a­tion mod­els and lat­er was repli­cat­ed by oth­er brands. This mod­el also comes with extra acces­sories that allow it to expand the juicer func­tion­al­i­ty and pro­duce the best qual­i­ty soft fruit juice and a range of food pro­cess­ing tasks, such as frozen treats, that ver­ti­cal juicers are usu­al­ly not capa­ble of per­form­ing. Also, this is prob­a­bly the qui­etest ver­ti­cal juicer avail­able on the cur­rent market.

Shine Kitchen Co. by Tribest SJV-107‑A Slow Juicer

The Shine Kitchen Co. by Tribest is a low-range com­pact slow ver­ti­cal juicer that is avail­able at a very afford­able price. It is man­u­fac­tured in Chi­na for the rep­utable Tribest, which is a US and South Kore­an co-estab­lished com­pa­ny (yet most of the Tribest prod­ucts are man­u­fac­tured in South Kore­an Tribest man­u­fac­tur­ing facilities).

Set includes:

• Stain­less steel main body;
• Auger Juic­ing Screen — Sep­a­rates the juice from the pulp;
• Drum/Auger Hous­ing with Feed­ing Chute;
• Juice and Pulp Containers;
• Pulp Con­tain­er — Catch­es the pulp;
• Acces­sories: push­er, brush, fruit, and veg­etable Slicer.

Drum, Hop­per, and Feed­ing Chute: The Shine Kitchen Co. Juicer drum, hop­per, and feed­ing chute are made from BPA-free plas­tic with a cres­cent feed­ing open­ing 1.5” X 2.5″. How­ev­er, the feed­ing open­ing is fair­ly big for ver­ti­cal mas­ti­cat­ing juicers but still will need pre-cut­ting for most ingre­di­ents. For exam­ple, the leafy greens usu­al­ly need to be cut into 1–2 inch­es pieces; oth­er­wise, they tend to jam since the ver­ti­cal juicers do not han­dle their long fiber very well.

Over­all, the Shine Kitchen drum is well-designed for low-end machines; it has a large pulp out­let (min­i­miz­ing clog­ging) and a nice sil­i­con flap (max­i­miz­ing yield).

Spout cap: The juicer comes with a well-con­struct­ed low-end machine spout cap, which you can keep close while pro­cess­ing juice; this allows you to mix juice inside for more nutri­tious juice.

Motor unit: The Shine Juicer comes with stain­less steel, which hous­es a good qual­i­ty 200 Watts 110–120V motor with three (3) stage reduc­tion gear that cre­ates more torque for effi­cient pro­cess­ing of firmer ingre­di­ents like beets and car­rots with­out clog­ging. The motor rotates the sin­gle auger at a slow 40 rpm speed.

The juicer is also equipped with a safe­ty fea­ture that pre­vents the machine from run­ning unless it is assem­bled cor­rect­ly. How­ev­er, it still has the typ­i­cal low-end machine, only 10 min­utes duty cycle, which allows users to make a max­i­mum of 60 ounces of juice only.

Gears/Auger: This machine’s one-wing sin­gle auger is made of BPA-free plas­tic and has a pock­et recess to elim­i­nate jamming.

Juic­ing Screen: It has a typ­i­cal ver­ti­cal slow juicer screen design with a BPA-free plas­tic frame and stain­less steel meshed part. How­ev­er, it does not have a stan­dard for high­er-end machine wip­ing blades. Oth­er­wise, it is a decent­ly designed juic­ing screen with­out all the under­gone details of Chi­nese knock-offs.

Con­tain­ers: It fea­tures BPA-free plas­tic 32 oz. juic­ing and pulp con­tain­ers. The juicer’s size and height allow you to use a 30-ounce wide-mouth mason jar for juice col­lec­tion (The Mason jar is not includ­ed in the set).

Func­tion­al­i­ty:

• Leafy greens;
• Cel­ery;
• Wheat­grass;
• Firm and soft veg­gies such as beets, car­rots, and cuke;
• Firm and soft fruits such as apples or pineapples;
• Cit­rus juice.

The juicer does not include the extra acces­sories for mak­ing frozen treats, baby food, and pasta.

Leafy Greens Juice Yield: 2.2lbs/1kfg of spinach and kale mix­ture pro­duces 510–520 ml of juice.

Clean­ing and assembling/disassembling: This juicer has not had many parts, a flat drum base with­out nooks and cran­nies (cav­i­ties and grooves), and a fair­ly wide pulp spot, too; this all makes the juice one of the eas­i­est to clean. It is also equipped with a spout cap that allows you to pre­wash the machine before dis­as­sem­bling and hand cleaning.

Con­trols: It is very easy to oper­ate as it has only one switch with ON/OFF/Reverse functions.

War­ran­ty: The Shine Kitchen Co. by Tribest Juicer comes with a 3‑year FULL war­ran­ty for all parts and repairs backed by the Tribest Company.

If you need to con­tact cus­tomer ser­vice, you should call Tribest direct­ly on Toll-free num­bers: 1–888-254‑7336 or Inter­na­tion­al: +1–714-879‑7150.

Dimen­sions: The juicer has a very com­pact foot­print of 5.5″ x 5.25″ base diam­e­ter but a tall 19.5” pro­file; it weighs only 6.2 lbs.

Sum­ma­ry: The Shine Kitchen Co. by Tribest does not only squeeze an excel­lent qual­i­ty leafy greens juice but is also very good at han­dling the ingre­di­ents the typ­i­cal ver­ti­cal slow juicer does (cel­ery, wheat­grass, soft and firm fruits, and veg­gies). It is man­u­fac­tured in Chi­na for the rep­utable USA-based Tribest com­pa­ny, serv­ing as the juicer war­ran­ty. Besides, it is very easy to clean and use, has a very small foot­print, eas­i­ly fits even into the small­est kitchen, and is avail­able very affordable.

Summary

If you want the best of the best machine for juic­ing Leafy Greens, then you will go for the Twin Gear type of machine. The Super Angel Juicer is undoubt­ed­ly the best machine avail­able on the mar­ket. It is 100% made of stain­less steel, so you will not have any ques­tions regard­ing its con­struct­ed mate­r­i­al. It also per­fect­ly han­dles the leafy greens and almost any ingre­di­ents you may wish to juice. How­ev­er, it has only one issue — a very high price. Still, the Omega TWN30S is the juicer that is worth con­sid­er­ing if you decide to go for the Twin Gear machine.

If you pre­fer a no-brain­er juicer that is easy to use and clean but still will deliv­er high-qual­i­ty juice and decent yield, then go for the pre­mi­um Omega NC800/NC900 or bud­get Omega CNC80S. Both Omegas are a great option and almost have the same per­for­mance, but CN has bet­ter func­tion­al­i­ty, so it depends on your bud­get; both of them are great for Leafy Greens and a large vari­ety of oth­er ingre­di­ents such as firm fruit and veg­etable, cit­ruses, and others.

How­ev­er, if you plan to juice not only the Leafy Greens but also a vari­ety of oth­er prod­ucts, then the ver­ti­cal juicer option is what you need. The only prob­lem, you have to pre-cut your leafy greens and put some effort into feed­ing the juicer, while for any oth­er ingre­di­ents that are not Leafy Greens, these machines are almost self-feed­ing. So if you are not tight on the bud­get, the H‑AA Slow Juicer machine is not only one of the best ver­ti­cal juicers on the mar­ket but also deliv­ers the high­est yield for leafy greens, the same as for most of the oth­er ingre­di­ents. There­fore, Shine Kitchen by Tribest is a very decent alter­na­tive to con­sid­er if you are tight on a budget.
