Why we picked it

01

Wide chute fits whole produce

The oversized feed chute swallows whole apples, beets, and citrus, so you spend less time chopping and more time juicing through a morning batch.

02

Slow auger preserves more juice

The cold press auger squeezes produce at low RPM, which yields more liquid from leafy greens and ginger than centrifugal juicers and runs noticeably quieter.

03

Tool-free cleanup in minutes

Four detachable parts rinse under the tap with the included brush, so the post-juice cleanup that derails most juicer routines stays under three minutes.

In shortOur pick — The Fretta accepts whole fruit like the pricier Kuvings while costing less than half, and its compact build fits counters where the Omega NC900 won't.A hands-free hopper and stronger motor, but you're paying nearly four times the price.Cheap and fast, but the centrifugal motor is loud and oxidizes juice quickly.A serious daily-driver with better wheatgrass yield, though prep work and footprint go up.

Common questions

Does it really fit a whole apple?
Medium apples and peeled oranges fit the 3-inch chute, though larger Honeycrisps or fibrous beets may still need a quick halving.
How does it compare to the Nama J2?
The Nama J2 has a larger hopper and slightly higher yield on greens, but it costs roughly four times more and takes up considerably more counter space.
Who should skip this juicer?
Heavy daily juicers running multi-quart batches will outgrow the small pulp bin, and wheatgrass purists should look at a dedicated masticating model instead.
Is the pulp dry enough to indicate good extraction?
Pulp comes out noticeably drier than centrifugal juicers, though slightly wetter than premium twin-gear machines that cost three times as much.
