We give our top choice award for the best budget juicer in the $100 category to the Juiceman Jr. For $100 it is packed with more features and juicing capabilities than any of the other comparably priced models available.
We think the Juiceman Junior is the best in the $100 category because of it's wide juicing range. Most juicers at this price range either do hard veggies well or soft fruits and citrus well. Hardly any can handle both, but the little Juiceman Jr. does! It's also got a nicely sized 700 watt motor, large feed chute for less pre-chopping, 2-speed juicing, a stainless steel exterior and child proof safety features. All for a hundred bucks? Pretty amazing folks...
Let's break it down with a point by point comparison of the runner up in this category, the Brevillew Juice Fountain Compact. For $100 you get:
