A chef-grade handheld manual fruit juicer, the Bellemain is made from top-quality stainless-steel to create a juicer that’s going to stay the distance. With its ergonomic handles and soft silicon grips, the design works to reduce hand fatigue as you juice, and the squeeze action is smooth.

If you’re looking to add more green to your life, then check out our Premium Choice, The Manual Healthy Juicer.

Designed for wheatgrass, celery, kale, spinach and all the other healthy leaves, this manual juice extractor skillfully squeezes out the good stuff for a nutrient-packed, refreshing drink. This is a counter-top juicer that is nicely made from BPA-free plastic with stainless-steel components. And it is quick and easy to use – simply put your greens in the top funnel and turn the handle and the juice collects in a bottom container, with the pulp extracted. The mechanism is pretty easy to turn, although with harder vegetables it gets tougher and the whole unit keeps nice and cool, which means your juice does too. With the turning, the unit takes some pressure, so underneath there are grippers as well as a table clamp to keep it secure. And, as the whole juicer breaks down into just five parts it’s also easy to clean.

With a design that wouldn’t look out of place in a professional kitchen, this is a monster of a manual citrus juicer that makes light work of the largest oranges if you need volume of juice in one sitting. Made from cast iron and 18/8 powder-coated stainless-steel, with a rubberized, long handle that can withstand 300PSI, you’ll get a workout with this solid manual juicer. The strainer and funnel are large capacity so can cope with fruit up to the size of grapefruits and are also detachable for washing. And, for stability as you manually juice, you have rubber sucker feet to keep it all in place although the height of the juicer means there can be a bit of a wobble. Smart and professional-looking, this manual orange juice squeezer means business.

Based on the traditional jug reamer design, our Best Value is a smart manual citrus juicer you’ll soon add to your ‘handy to have’ kitchen gadget list. For less than $10 you not only get an effective citrus juicer but also an egg separator and lemon grater, all in one. Oh, and a decent 12-ounce jug to catch everything. Made from BPA-free plastic, with a stainless-steel grater and silicon, non-slip base, this juicer can cope with larger citrus fruits too, thanks to its 12-tooth and three-claw reamers that squeeze out the juice. The filter keeps out the pips and larger stuff, making it ideal for baking, cooking or simply squeezing yourself a refreshing drink. The reamer can be stored inside the jug for easy storage and the whole thing can be popped into the dishwasher.

Super easy to use, this simple but effective small manual citrus juicer from OXO is perfect to have in your kitchen cupboard. No fuss and no set up, the reamer top has a built-in strainer to catch the pulp and sits neatly on top of a 2.5-ounce cup with measures that is perfectly sized for cooking and baking. Made from BPA-plastic, there are not too many curves or corners and the whole thing can be taken apart for cleaning. And we like the shaping of the no-spill spout for mess-free pouring. Used with lemons, limes and medium sized oranges, this is a no-frills manual juicer that knows its job.

This dual reamer-style manual citrus juicer can deal with both small and large fruits thanks to the 12-tooth reamer for lemons and limes and a three-claw large reamer for oranges and bigger citrus fruits. It also has a generous 17-ounce capacity jug to collect all that liquid deliciousness! Made from BPA-free plastic, the Sunhanny is a well-priced, practical manual juicer which in a busy kitchen should get a lot of use. It is also a tough cookie and with a flip-top design that doubles up an egg separator, is compact enough to be easily stored away. There are no real frills here, and that is all part of this manual juicer’s appeal. It is straightforward to use and clean, can create a decent amount of juice in one sitting and is lightweight and portable, making it the perfect manual juice extractor for camping and RV trips

For larger volume of fresh juice, we like this manual masticating juicer from Geedel. Well-priced, you get a substantial manual cold press juicer which is surprisingly easy to use and does a decent job at separating out the pulp from the juice.  It may not be the most sophisticated looking manual juicer, but the design is well-thought out and all the parts are sturdy and feel durable. Plus, it pulls apart for easy cleaning and is dishwasher safe.

The crank handle is metal and can take some pressure, and while the manufacturers say it can also cope with harder vegetables, we think this is best for creating quality juice from citrus and soft fruits. Underneath there are suction cups to secure the whole device to a counter-top and the well-built masticator extracts a decent yield of juice. For around $30, this is a good value buy if you like a larger volume of citrus juice.

The Lu Cucina is a traditional style juice reamer made from premium stainless-steel that will become a staple of your utensil drawer. There’s nothing flashy about this manual juicer and that is a big part of its appeal, it knows its job and gets on with it. The reamer lid locks into place and has a built-in strainer to stop the pith and pips getting into your juice. And the attached bowl is large enough to give you a small glass of juice in one sitting. Ideal for cooking, baking or squeezing out a juice drink for breakfast, the Lu Cucina is also rust-resistant, dishwasher safe and has been built to last.

Just like the one your mom had in her cupboard, there’s something reassuringly old school about the HIC juicier and we like it! Made from a tough and heavyweight glass, this reamer and collecting jug in one will look cute on your breakfast table. But it isn’t just eye candy. This solid citrus juicer can be used with limes, lemons and oranges, as well as larger fruit such as grapefruit. Simply half the fruit, press down on the reamer and twist to get out all that juicy goodness. The spout is well designed for easy pouring although to get out the pips and pulp, you will need a separate strainer. But with no separate parts, this glass manual citrus juicer is a doddle to clean.
