We have picked the best small juicers which are compact enough to make it possible! Small juicers have fewer functions than big machines, yet we made sure that the juicers listed in this review are ones of the best among compact juicers and that all are of decent quality.

Our TOP picks:

1. Breville Juice Fountain Compact

2. Tribest SW-2000 Slowstar, Vertical Slow Juicer

3. Kuvings B6000S

4. Hurom HP

5. Omega CNC80S

1. Breville Juice Fountain Compact

PROS

• Efficient performance
• Highest yield for the small juicer
• Wide feeding chute
• High Durability
• Budget-friendly

CONS

• Noisy
• Only 1 year warranty
• Not the smallest in the list

If you are looking for a small juicer that is also highly efficient in extracting juice from various types of products, then Breville Juice Fountain Compact is a golden middle. This juicer is lightweight and space-savvy, yet it performs better than many other heavier and larger machines. With Breville Juice Fountain, you don’t have to sacrifice yield and juice quality for the sake of the compact size of your juicer.

Indeed, it is not the smallest juicer of all, but the truth is that the smallest juicers are not the best ones. A common disadvantage which very small juicers have is that the juice yield is not too high, and the feeding chutes of small juicers are often tiny, so you have to cut your fruits or veggies into little pieces before making a juice. Breville Juice Fountain is a bit bigger ( yet it is still a compact juicer ), and that makes all the difference!

Breville Juice Fountain Compact has a wide 3 inches feeding chute, which is the same size as a chute of much more massive juicers, such as Breville Juice Fountain Plus or Multi-Speed. It will save your prep time because cutting your produce into tiny pieces won’t be necessary with that model. This is an excellent advantage over other small juicers available on the market.

This juicer is highly durable, the quality of its parts is much higher than of many other small juicers, so it is easy to disassemble them and clean after you finished juicing. It took us a bit more time to clean a mesh filter, so the juicer comes with a specific cleaning brush for that purpose.

One downside is that with a powerful motor of 14 000 RPM, the juicer operates a bit noisy.

2. Tribest SW-2000 Slowstar, Vertical Slow Juicer

PROS

• Good yield
• Stylish design
• Double-edged cutting tool
• 10 years warranty
• Versatile, Suitable for making other foods – sorbets, sauces

CONS

• May contain pulp in the juice
• More difficult to clean

Tribest slowstar is the best small vertical juicer with about 19 inches tall and only 10 inches across. It has a unique for little juicers feature, which is a double-edged cutting spindle. This double blade compressor is twice more efficient than a regular screw when it comes to juicing, and we were surprised to see how easy this tool handles even with the most challenging products. Tribest Slowstar prepares high-quality juice with less time and effort than many competitors.

Apart from the juice, you can make other types of food like sorbets, kinds of butter, sources, etc. because the device includes a mincing function specifically for those purposes. 

Slowstar has a 10-years warranty so that you can be sure about long-lasting investment. 

When it comes to disadvantages, some of the users reported that juice could contain some pulp. Another point we have found rather negative –  is that the juicer has many parts, making it more difficult to assemble/ disassemble and clean the Tribest slowstar.

3. Kuvings B6000S

PROS

• 60 RPM speed is great for keeping nutrients in the juice
• Quiet operation
• Versatile
• Great design

CONS

• Juice can contain pulp
• Gets clogged up easily
• Expensive

Kuvings B6000S is another excellent option when it comes to small masticating juicers. The rotation speed of the only 60RPM allows the Kuvings juicer to generate minimum heat and make a great quality juice without destroying vitamins, minerals, and enzymes. The juice made with this device can stay up fresh up to 72 hours. Also, slow-speed masticating technology minimizes the aeration. Hence the juice made with this small juicer is less foamy and has a rich taste.

240-watt motor is efficient enough to masticate even the toughest vegetables, while it is also tranquil and easy on the ears while operating. We found the Kuvings B6000S very efficient at masticating anything you put into its chute. One downside is that the juicer gets clogged with soft types of produce quite easily, but luckily, it has a reverse function, making the masticating screw spin backward and clear the jam.

The feeding chute is 3 inches, which is considered extra wide for a compact juicer, and it is a positive point when it comes to prep time. However, it is still recommended not to drop full produce but cut it into some chunks before juicing, because according to some customers and reviews, this machine doesn’t deal that well with the whole vegetables. 

Kuvings B6000S is relatively easy to clean manually, and it shouldn’t take more than a couple of minutes; however, none of the parts are dishwasher safe. 

When it comes to disadvantages, according to some customers, the juice contains some pulp. The second point worth highlighting is that Kuving B6000S gets clogged up easily.

4. Hurom HP

PROS

• Stylish design
• Use-friendly
• Easy to clean
• Versatile

CONS

• Small feeding chute
• Limited capacity for the juice ( 11.8 oz )

Hurom HP is a vertical, masticating juice extractor with an exceptionally slim and compact design of 11.5 by 8.7 inches in dimensions. Besides its stylish design and portable size,  it is also highly efficient with a variety of products. With its’ slow squeezing technology, the juicer extract high-quality juice and leaves behind the bonedry pulp.

Plastic parts of Hurom HP are free of BPA. The juicing screen and Ultem auger are much stronger than the usual plastic parts. The Hurom HP Slow Juicer can juice all kinds of produce – veggies, citruses, beans, and leafy greens; also, you can make nut-based milk options with this juicer. 

Hurom HP comes with a spinning brush, which makes the cleaning process as easy as possible. You have to pour some water into the juicer, close the cap and turn it on for a few seconds to allow this brush to clean the machine for you. It is straightforward to assemble and disassemble this small juicer since it has just a few parts. 

Hurom HP has a couple of minor disadvantages as well. The first one is that the capacity is only 11.08 oz ( or 350 milliliters), around the size of one glass of juice. So, if you have a big family, perhaps you should consider other options available on the market. However, if you are looking for a juicer for personal use, this capacity is enough. The second disadvantage is that the feeding tube is relatively small because of the small juicers’ size. That means that you might have to spend more time preparing the fruits or vegetables before you can place them into the juicer.

5. Omega CNC80S

PROS

• Efficient motor
• Two filter screens ( one for juicing, another for sorbets etc. )
• Easy clean up
• 15 years warranty

CONS

• Not effective with soft fruits

With just 11.6 lbs, Omega CNC80S is the smallest and the cheapest juicer from Omega.

It has a 200-watt motor, which is efficient enough for any kind of product, be it hard vegetables or leafy greens. Omega CNC80S gives a decent amount of yield, however, leaves some pulp in the juice. 

This juicer comes with two filter screens. One filter screen is for juicing, and another one is for nut milk, sorbets, ground up coffee beans, and herbs. It is relatively straightforward to take apart your juicer and replace the juicing screen if needed. 

Clean up time takes a couple of minutes. Parts of Omega CNC80S are dishwasher safe, so you don’t even have to wash them manually if you prefer not to. 

Automatic pulp ejection function allows you to enjoy continuous juicing without disassembling the machine between juicing rounds. 

As a downside, we have observed that the juice is not really effective with soft fruit. Fruits like pineapple or peach clog up the machine.
