Juicers can do a lot. In fact, they're great for making recipes like lemon tahini-marinated chicken and lemon layer cake, spicy margaritas with fresh lime juice, vanilla citrus sangria with just squeezed orange juice or a simple glass of vitamin C-boosting grapefruit juice.
There are so many types of citrus juicers on the market — electric and manual models, handheld and tabletop pitchers, some with and without built-in juice storage and all in a variety of sizes. Depending on your budget, storage options and favorite recipes there's a citrus juicer out there for your needs.
Our top picks:
In the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab, our analysts have tested more than 70 of the best juicers on the market in the past two decades, including masticating juicers, centrifugal juicers (a.k.a. cold-press juicers) and, most recently, 20 brand-new citrus juicer models. When we evaluate citrus juicers, we test to see which models produce the highest percentage of lemon juice, whether they can also juice limes, oranges and grapefruits and how easy and fast they are to operate and of course clean. A good citrus juicer is versatile, easy-to-use and produces enough juice for all of your favorite recipes.
