Celery is the vegetable that breaks weak juicers. It is watery, stringy and stubbornly fibrous, so a machine with a narrow chute and a small pulp outlet will wrap the strands around the auger and stop dead. After weeks of running repeat 500 g batches through twelve machines, I can tell you which ones keep moving and which ones need a knife rescue.
This roundup covers the best juicers for celery in 2026, from entry-tier cold press machines to a triple-stage Omega with a 15-year motor warranty. Every pick below is a slow masticating juicer, because that is the only type that treats celery as food rather than as an obstacle. I scored each one on the things that actually decide whether a celery habit survives: how much chopping it demands, how dry the pulp comes out, how many parts you wash afterwards, and whether it jams on a whole stalk.
A quick note before we start. Celery juice is popular partly through the Medical Medium routine, and the health-claims framing around celery juice is not clinically proven. Plenty of people report feeling better on a daily glass, and that is worth having, but it is anecdotal. Nothing here is a medical claim, and no juicer on this list will change your health more than the way you eat overall.
If you want the wider picture first, our guides to the best masticating juicers built for celery juice and the best cold press juicers overall cover the mechanics in more depth than this list has room for.
Top 3 Celery Juicer Picks (October 2026)
Ninja NeverClog JC151
- High torque 150W motor
- Two interchangeable pulp filters
- Start Stop and Reverse programs
AMZCHEF 6.5 inch Cold Press
- 6.5 inch reversible cutting chute
- Reverse anti jam function
- Dry crumbly pulp
Those three cover the three real buying decisions. The Ninja is the machine you will still be using in month eight because it is the least fuss. The AMZCHEF is the one that swallows celery with almost no prep, and the TUUMIIST 580 is the simplest route into cold press juicing that does not feel like a toy.

Read the chute column first. Anything at 5.8 inches or wider takes a stalk section without slicing, and that one spec removes most of the prep work celery demands. The second column to check is motor class, because a 150W machine is fine on watery celery and will struggle the moment you add a carrot.
1. Ninja NeverClog JC151
Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer, 24oz Jug, 36oz Pulp, Charcoal, JC151
150W high torque motor
Two interchangeable pulp filters
Reverse and Start Stop
24oz jug
Pros
- Powers through celery and greens
- Very dry pulp means little waste
- Fits under a standard cabinet
- Dishwasher safe parts
- Few parts and quick setup
Cons
- Feed chute is small next to wide chute rivals
- Hard vegetables must be sliced thin
- Still audible under load
This is the machine I keep coming back to after testing the full set. The JC151 packs a high-torque 150W motor into a body that measures 12.11 by 7.15 by 15.93 inches, which means it disappears under a standard cabinet instead of demanding a corner of the counter. The 24oz jug is bigger than most vertical machines at this size, so a full glass fills before you need to stop.
Celery is its strong suit. Owners running daily green juice routines report the auger chewing through stalks, apples and leafy greens with very little drama, and the pulp that comes out is genuinely dry. The two interchangeable pulp filters are the underrated feature here. Swap to the higher-pulp filter and you get more liquid through for people who want a bigger drink rather than a clearer one.
The Start Stop and Reverse program pair is a genuine anti-jam tool rather than a marketing line. When a stubborn piece stops the auger, you hit reverse and the machine backs it off without you reaching for a screwdriver. Owners also praise the anti-drip lever, which lets you pause mid-glass and pour without a puddle forming on the base.
Cleaning is where this machine earns the top slot. There are few juice-contact parts, all of them are dishwasher safe, and the whole teardown is a rinse. That matters more than any spec sheet number, because the most common reason people stop juicing is not a jam, it is ten minutes of scrubbing at seven in the morning.
What you should know before you buy
The trade-off is the feed chute. It is small next to the 6.5 inch machines here, so celery goes in shorter lengths and hard roots need thin slicing. Noise is lower than a centrifugal but not silent, a steady low grind that is fine at normal kitchen hours. At 7.9 pounds it stays planted without suction cups.
Who should skip it
Skip the JC151 if your plan is whole unchopped stalks, because the chute will not take a full rib section, or if you want nut butter and pasta extruding, since this is a juice-only design. The anti-clog promise is also not absolute, and a small number of owners still hit occasional stalls on dense batches.
2. AMZCHEF 6.5 inch Cold Press Juicer
AMZCHEF Cold Press Juicer, 6.5″ Whole Fruit Self-Feeding Slow Juicer
6.5 inch reversible chute
Internal auto cutting blade
600W motor
Reverse function
Pros
- 6.5 inch chute cuts produce internally
- Dry crumbly pulp signals strong extraction
- Rinses clean in under 5 minutes
- 600W motor for hard roots
- Quiet and vertically stackable
Cons
- 600W motor can trip overload on very hard carrots
- Fine filter screen takes scrubbing
- Sorbet mode needs fruit thawed first
- Tall 16.9 inch body needs headroom
The defining feature here is a 6.5 inch reversible chute with a cutting blade built into the machine. Produce goes in whole and the auger section chops it on the way down, which removes more friction on a stalk vegetable than any wattage figure.
At 600 watts this is the strongest motor in the roundup, and the 2-speed setup gives you room to push. Reviewers who juice 1.5 liters a day, mostly root vegetables and celery, report the machine holding its pace, and the crumbly dry pulp is a good sign the auger is extracting rather than just spinning.
It is also a three-in-one. Two interchangeable filters turn it into a nut milk maker and a sorbet machine, which extends the life of the purchase well past the celery phase. Assembly is a single twist of the detachable body, and every removable part goes in the dishwasher.
Build quality is what long-time celery drinkers mention most. Owners moving up from cheap centrifugal units describe the difference in weight, stability and yield as dramatic, and the 7.4 by 7.7 inch base means it can share a counter with a blender.
What you should know before you buy
Two things to know before buying. The 600W motor is powerful but not unlimited, and some owners report overload protection on very hard carrots at the higher speed with large chunks. And the fine filter screen resists a quick rinse: it needs a scrub with the included brush every few uses, or the juice clouds within weeks.
Who should skip it
Skip it if counter height is tight: at 16.9 inches tall you need clearance above the hopper to load it and lift the pusher out after a wet batch. The sorbet function is a bonus rather than a reason to buy, since frozen fruit has to thaw first or pieces lodge against the blade.
3. TUUMIIST 580
TUUMIIST Juicer Machines, Cold Press Juicer with 5.8″ Extra Large Feed Chute Fit Whole Fruits & Vegetables Easy to Clean, High Juice Yield, BPA Free (Black)
5.8 inch extra large chute
55 RPM slow squeeze
300W motor
One piece design
Pros
- Chute accepts whole fruits and vegetables
- No mesh filter to scrub
- One piece build cleans in about 5 minutes
- 55 RPM limits oxidation
- Low power 300W motor suits watery celery
Cons
- 300W motor is modest on hard roots
- Knob control with no reverse program
- Hopper must align to the lock or it will not run
- Some pulp residue with soft produce
This is the pick if you want a genuine slow juicer without the usual entry-level compromises, and the reason is the absence of a mesh screen. Many cheaper machines give you a fine strainer that traps fibre and turns cleaning into a chore. This one uses a coarser geometry with no mesh to scrub, and owners report a full rinse in about five minutes.
The 5.8 inch chute is generous for the category. Whole apple halves and celery sections go in with little pre-cutting, the same advantage the wide-chute premium machines sell for. The 55 RPM slow squeeze keeps heat low, and the one-piece body pulls apart without a dozen small components.
Materials are BPA-free, the control is a simple knob, and the whole thing weighs 3.2 kg, which makes it one of the easiest machines here to move between a counter and a cupboard. The 8 by 8 inch base is a genuinely small footprint too.
Where reviewers consistently report value is the balance of yield and effort. The juice is smooth and low foam, the cleanup is quick, and owners moving up from a blade-style juicer describe the yield difference as enough to justify the switch on produce cost alone.
What you should know before you buy
Three hundred watts is a real limitation on dense roots. Celery is watery and fibrous, which suits a lower-power motor, but carrots, beets and ginger in quantity will have you working harder than the machine wants to. There is also no reverse function, so a genuine jam means clearing the chute by hand.
Who should skip it
Skip it if soft, high-water fruit is a large share of your output, since owners report pulp residue on soft-only batches with no hard item to push the auger along. Also learn the hopper lock before day one: it must line up with the lock symbol or the machine will not start, and a few owners read that as a fault.
4. EanOruus 3-in-1
EanOruus Juicer Machines, 3-in-1 Cold Press Juicer, Premium Gray
100oz hopper
6.5 inch chute
AC brushless motor
Two large cups
Pros
- 100oz hopper suits multi day batches
- Very dry pulp and almost foam free juice
- Quiet AC brushless motor
- Detachable pulp outlet speeds cleanup
Cons
- Advertised chute measures nearer 6 inches
- Strong plastic smell on first use
- Some minor leaking at the pulp outlet
- Top section can wobble before break in
Batch capacity is the whole argument for this machine. The 100oz hopper means you can load a large pile of produce and walk away, and the juice and pulp each go into a large cup, so you are not stopping every eight ounces to empty a jug. If you juice for a household or run a weekend prep session, few machines here are built for that.
Celery handling is strong. The wide chute takes rough-to-medium chunks of celery, carrot, beet and chard without a fight, and the extraction is genuinely dry, with juice that reviewers describe as almost foam free. Several owners put it directly against far more expensive Omega machines and say it holds its own on yield.
Reviewers single out the AC brushless motor as unusually quiet, and the auto-reversing action clears most interruptions without intervention. The detachable pulp outlet is a small design choice with an outsized effect on cleanup, since you can dump pulp without holding the machine over the bin. Two interchangeable strainers also make it a three-in-one, which is what justifies the 12.1 pound weight.
What you should know before you buy
The 6.5 inch chute claim is optimistic, and owners measuring it find it closer to 6 inches. Expect a strong plastic smell on first use that takes several washes to clear, and note that a minority report minor pulp-side leaking and a top section that spins slightly until it has bedded in.
Who should skip it
Skip it if your produce is mostly soft, high-water fruit, because reviewers note weaker extraction on things like passion fruit. At 13.7 inches deep and 17.4 inches tall it is a substantial object, and the 100oz hopper means you are committed to batch juicing rather than a daily single glass.
5. Omega J8006
Omega Cold Press Juicer Machine, All-in-One Nutrition System for Vegetable and Fruit Juice, Nut Butter, Baby Food, Pasta and Sorbets, Triple-Stage 80-RPM Slow Masticating Juicer, 200-Watts, Black
Triple stage 80 RPM auger
200W motor
15 year motor warranty
Glass and steel body
Pros
- Exceptionally dry pulp from celery greens and wheatgrass
- 15 year motor warranty
- Owners report four plus years of daily use
- Near silent at 80 RPM
- Full nutrition system with nut butter and pasta
Cons
- Narrow chute demands all produce be cut small
- Very slow with a single speed
- Struggles on soft produce alone
- Many fine screens to wash
The J8006 is the durability answer in this roundup. It carries a 15-year manufacturer warranty on the motor with one year on parts, and owners report units running four-plus years of daily use without a mid-juice failure. When a machine is going to sit on your counter for a decade, that warranty length changes the maths.
The triple-stage 80 RPM auger is the other reason. It produces pulp dry enough that you can pick it apart and see no moisture, and it handles the full fibrous range: celery, chard, kale and wheatgrass all come through without the auger stalling. Extraction on citrus is also noticeably better than a centrifugal gives you.
Noise is its quiet strength. Owners report juicing at five in the morning without being heard in the next room, which is exactly the use case celery falls into when you drink it before work. The suction-cup base keeps the 14.1 pound body planted, and the glass and stainless steel build feels more like kitchen equipment than plasticware.
The all-in-one nutrition system is what justifies the horizontal footprint. The same body makes juice, nut butter, nut milk, baby food, pasta and sorbet.
What you should know before you buy
The chute is narrow, so everything has to be cut into small pieces and you cannot prep fast enough to keep it running continuously. Plan batches around chopping rather than the other way round. Soft produce on its own is also a weak point, and with one speed and no reverse a stopped auger is a manual recovery.
Who should skip it
Skip it if cleanup speed decides your purchase, because there are many pieces and the fine screens need firm brushing. That is the honest trade against the machines that rinse clean in one step. At 19.69 inches deep it is also the longest body here and needs a real run of counter, and a small number of owners have reported cracked plastic augers within the warranty period, though Omega customer service comes up well in reviews.
6. YPONE 400W
Juicer Machines with 5.8″ Large Chute, 2-in-1 Cold Press Juicer for Whole Vegetables Fruits 400W, Masticating juicer Easy to Clean Juice Extractor Machine for Making Nut Mike, Juice, Premium Gray
5.8 inch large chute
400W motor
55 RPM cold press
Dual 0.3mm strainers
Pros
- Adjustable celery cap squeezes stalks for more juice
- Handles celery and root veg smoothly
- Three part assembly and rinse
- Large batch canister
- Quiet motor
Cons
- Single speed with no reverse function
- Some units vibrate loudly on heavy batches
- Pulp runs wetter on soft produce
- Isolated reports of a cracked juice tank
The YPONE is about as mechanically simple as these get, and that is its appeal. Three main parts means assemble, run, disassemble and rinse, with no multi-stage screen stack to brush and two dual-layer 0.3mm strainers that soak rather than scrub. Owners switching over from Ninja and NutriBullet units praise how much easier the filter is to clean.
Celery goes in whole. The 5.8 inch chute with a safety lock takes large pieces with very little pre-cutting, and the 400W motor handles apples, carrots, celery, cucumbers, ginger and kale in the same session, producing smooth foam-free juice across the range. That combination of chute width and motor class is unusual at this level.
The 55 RPM cold press technology keeps the extraction gentle, and the capacity figures cover 500 ml and 700 ml service sizes, so a batch jug is available for family runs. At 4.42 kg it is also one of the lighter machines here despite the wider base.
Reviewers rate the value highly for a simple reason: you get a wide chute, a mid-power motor and a three-part wash in one package, and each of those usually forces a compromise on the cheaper machines.
What you should know before you buy
One speed, no reverse and a machine that can move or vibrate loudly on heavy batches are the mechanical caveats, and the pulp runs wetter than premium brands on soft produce. On celery, where the batch is watery and fibrous, none of that has stopped the machine producing smooth foam-free juice.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a machine that keeps improving over years: a small number of owners report the juice tank cracking in the first month. The upside here is convenience, not longevity. The 5 by 11 inch footprint is also wide rather than deep, so measure a narrow galley counter first.
7. Omega Cold Press 365
Omega H3000RED Cold Press 365 Juicer Slow Masticating Extractor Creates Delicious Fruit Vegetable and Leafy Green High Juice Yield and Preserves Nutritional Value, 150-Watt, Red
90 to 110 RPM
150W motor
Stainless steel auger
Coarse screen
Pros
- Handles celery carrots greens and wheatgrass
- Coarse screen suits fibrous stalks
- Stainless steel auger
- Most parts are top rack dishwasher safe
- Simple rinse clean
Cons
- Small 0.5 liter juice jug needs frequent emptying
- Single speed with no reverse
- Highest share of one star reviews here
- Wide horizontal body takes counter space
This is Omega’s straightforward single-speed cold press, and it is the one to consider when your celery habit turns into a full greens habit. The coarse screen and the stainless steel auger are the parts that matter here, because that combination is what keeps kale, chard and wheatgrass moving rather than matting against the mesh.
At 90 to 110 RPM it runs cool and generates very little heat, so oxidation stays low and the juice tastes fresh. The box includes both a fine and a coarse juicing screen, plus a brush and a plunger, so you have the right screen for any fibrous item without buying extra.
Cleaning is the easy part. Construction is BPA-free and most removable parts go in the top rack, with a rinse for the rest. There is also nothing to learn: one speed, one auger, one screen choice, which is a genuine advantage on a first cold press juicer.
What you should know before you buy
The 0.5 liter juice container is the main practical limit. It fills after a couple of stalks, so a 16 oz glass means stopping and pouring more often than on the wider machines here. That is a container size issue, not a performance one. Extraction is also slow by design, and the horizontal body is wide at nearly 18 inches across, so plan where it lives.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a single glass without interruption, or if you read reviews closely, because among these twelve it carries the largest proportion of one-star feedback. Those complaints concentrate on assembly and durability rather than on celery results. A mostly fruit-based routine is a poor fit too, since the slow single-speed approach suits watery celery better.
8. BRECIOUS 2-Speed
Slow Masticating Juicer,Brecious Cold Press Juicers with 2 Speed Modes & Quiet Motor,Juicers Machines Vegetable and Fruit with Reverse Function,Celery Juicer,BPA-Free,Easy to Clean (Silver)
Soft Hard and Reverse modes
Motor under 60 dB
7 stage auger
1.8 inch chute
Pros
- Three control modes matched to produce hardness
- Motor under 60 dB for early use
- One touch disassembly with dishwasher safe parts
- Upgraded 7 stage auger and 3 section filter
- BPA free bladeless design
Cons
- Narrowest chute in the roundup at 1.8 inch
- 150W motor is modest for dense roots
- Requires all produce to be cut small
- More prep time than wide chute rivals
The BRECIOUS is built around control logic rather than chute width. Three modes, Soft, Hard and Reverse, let you match the auger to the produce, and the Reverse mode is a one-button answer to the fiber wrap that jams most machines. For a stalk vegetable this is a sensible control scheme, and owners rate the resulting juice as smooth and low foam.
Quietness is the standout spec. The motor runs under 60 dB according to the listing, and that is the number that matters if you are juicing before the rest of the house is awake. Combine it with one-touch disassembly and you have the fastest morning-to-glass time in this roundup.
The 7-stage auger and 3-section filter are an upgrade over the entry models, with the manufacturer claiming up to 90 percent juice yield with minimal pulp. The BPA-free bladeless design is the reason for the narrow chute, and it is a deliberate safety trade rather than a cost-cutting shortcut.
All the detachable parts are dishwasher safe, and the included kit covers a cleaning brush, a juice cup, a pulp container and a recipe card.
What you should know before you buy
The 1.8 inch chute is the narrowest of the twelve, and that changes the celery math more than anything else: stalks must be cut into small sections, and prep time per glass is noticeably longer than on a 6 inch machine. The 150W motor is modest too, so dense roots in quantity will slow the auger and test the overload behaviour.
Who should skip it
Skip it if throughput matters more than quietness or safety, because the bladeless narrow-chute design means you will spend real time on the board. At 6.2 pounds with an ABS body it is a modest build, fine for a daily glass but not a multi-function machine.
9. TUUMIIST TM880SJ 3-in-1
TUUMIIST 3-in-1 Cold Press Juicer Machine, Smart Touch Masticating Juicers for Whole Fruit & Vegetable, 6.5″ Wide Chute Slow Juicer for Nut Milk & Sorbet, High Yield, 100oz Large Capacity, Easy Clean
6.5 inch chute
350W motor
100oz batch pitcher
Auto reverse
Pros
- Chute takes whole apples and celery stalks
- Smart touchscreen with automatic reverse
- Three minute rinse cleanup
- Under 60 dB with metal free filter mesh
- 100oz batch pitcher with auto shutoff
Cons
- Juice side strainer clogs easily
- Peeled soft fruit stalls unless paired with a hard vegetable
- One year warranty is short for the class
- Motor strains audibly on hard roots
This machine has an unusual following among people who have owned clog-prone slow juicers before. Owners who came off machines that stalled or broke on celery describe the 350W motor as the one that finally chewed through stalks and pineapple without a single jam, and the 6.5 inch chute that takes whole produce with minimal chopping.
Cleanup is the other headline. The three-part quick-release assembly rinses clean in about three minutes, and the metal-free filter mesh is designed not to build up fibre the way a fine metal screen does. The smart touch panel gives you soft, hard, vegetable and mixed modes plus an automatic reverse for jam clearing.
For batch work there is a 100oz pitcher with auto-shutoff, so a large load does not need supervising the whole way through. The 3-liter capacity figure and the stainless steel body give it a more permanent feel than the typical entry machine.
The 4.5 average rating here is among the highest in the group, though it comes from a smaller review base than the leaders, which is worth weighing against machines with several thousand reviews behind them.
What you should know before you buy
The juice-side strainer clogs, and a number of owners buy a separate kitchen strainer to finish the job, which makes it the most common complaint on this machine. Peeled soft fruit such as oranges can also stall the auger on its own, and the one-year warranty is thin against the 10 and 15-year coverage some competitors here carry.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you mostly juice soft, peeled fruit, or if warranty length decides your purchase, and note that the motor strains audibly on very hard roots like carrot and ginger. The printed guidance also leaves the sorbet and nut milk modes unexplained, so the juice mode is the well-tested one.
10. Omega MM1500 Celery Juicer
Omega Celery Juicer and Nutrition System Masticating Juicer, Cold Press Juicer Machine For Celery with Adjustable Dial, 200-Watt, Silver
Celery specific end cap
80 RPM triple stage
200W motor
1 liter capacity
Pros
- Celery specific end cap
- Horizontal body fits under counters
- Near silent 80 RPM extraction
- 15 year manufacturer warranty
- Full nutrition system
Cons
- Very slow
- a full bunch can take 15 minutes or more
- Screen gasket wears within about a year
- No juice shut off valve to pause
- Large 14.3 pound body
This is the one machine in the roundup designed around celery specifically, and the reason is the end cap. Two adjustable caps come with it, one a celery cap that squeezes stalks for longer, pressing more juice out of each piece and pushing less into the pulp. Celery-focused buyers say it delivers, including on stalks that clog other brands.
Owners also report getting a full 16 oz glass from a thin, sad-looking bunch, and users coming off a Kuvings say it never clogs on celery. The horizontal body is low and wide, which fits under a counter better than a tall vertical machine and suits a small sink.
At 80 RPM with a single speed, extraction stays cold and the machine is near silent in operation. The same body is a full nutrition system too, handling nut butter, pasta, coffee and spice grinding, herb mincing, baby food, soy milk and frozen desserts.
What you should know before you buy
Speed is the honest drawback. Eighty RPM is slower than almost everything else here, a full bunch of celery can take 15 minutes or more, and there is no juice shut-off valve, so you cannot pause mid-glass. Consumable parts need attention too: the screen rubber gasket is reported to tear within about a year with the replacement sold separately, and the plastic locking mechanism has cracked for some owners.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you are impatient or celery is only an occasional drink, because the slowest machine here is a poor match for someone who wants a five-minute juice before leaving the house. At 14.3 pounds and 18.9 inches wide it also needs a dedicated stretch of counter and a firm two-handed grip to lift. The upside is the 15-year warranty, the longest coverage in this roundup.
11. Godspeeds 6 inch Chute Juicer
Godspeeds 6-inch Chute Cold Press Juicer Machine
6 inch wide chute
58 RPM auger
300W motor
Under 58 dB
Pros
- 6 inch chute takes whole apples and oranges
- 58 RPM auger with firm torque on celery
- Under 58 dB for early mornings
- Three step assembly with quick release filter
- 10 year warranty
Cons
- Small 473 ml juice capacity
- Auger top area traps food and needs unscrewing
- Lid opening narrower than the chute
- Some juice stays in the pulp
The Godspeeds is the compact option that does not feel like one. At 6 by 6 by 16 inches it is a narrow vertical tower, which is exactly what a small kitchen or a shelf-light counter needs, and the suction cups hold it to the cabinet so it does not walk across the surface while you press produce in.
The 6 inch chute takes whole apples and oranges, and users confirm large produce goes in without chopping. The 58 RPM auger has firm enough torque for celery and carrots, and the manufacturer claims up to 99 percent yield. The detachable toothed filter rinses clean in about two minutes after a three-step assembly.
Noise is its quiet strength. Under 58 dB makes it one of the quieter machines here, and a 10-year warranty at this build level is unusual. A reverse function, safety lock and overheat protection round out the package, and the 473 ml cup fills after a couple of stalks, which is fine for a daily glass and wrong for a family.
What you should know before you buy
The lid opening is narrower than the chute, so some items still need halving, which means the chute figure slightly overstates what you can drop in without preparation. There is also a crevice at the top of the auger that traps food and has to be unscrewed to clean, and a little juice stays in the pulp rather than reaching your glass.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you batch for several people, because the 473 ml cup means constant stopping, or if you expect a multi-use appliance, since it is juice-focused with a single built-in strainer and no nut butter or sorbet functions.
12. VITAPLUS
VITAPLUS Cold Press Juicer with Stainless Steel Auger, Lab-Certified Food-Safe, AC Motor, 5.8″ Whole-Fruit Chute, High Juice Yield Slow Masticating Juicer for Juice & Nut Milk, BPA-Free, Easy Clean
Stainless steel auger
5.8 inch chute
250W AC motor
Lab certified parts
Pros
- Stainless steel auger instead of plastic
- Quiet 250W AC induction motor
- 5.8 inch chute fits whole produce
- Only three parts and a 60 second rinse
- Juice contact parts independently lab certified
Cons
- 250W motor can overheat and shut off on large chunks
- Auger and holding cup are hard to detach
- Some juice briefly exits at the pulp outlet
- Large 14.5 pound body and tall frame
The reason to look at the VITAPLUS is material. It has a food-grade stainless steel auger rather than plastic, and buyers who deliberately avoid plastic in food contact say that is the whole reason they bought it. The three juice-contact parts are independently lab certified by Bureau Veritas, Intertek ETL and LFGB, which is unusually documented.
Cleanup is the best spec on paper. Three parts, a 5.8 inch wide mouth chute, and a rinse time of about 60 seconds, with top-rack dishwasher use recommended. The 250W AC induction motor is quiet and the listing rates it for around 5,000 hours, with a 10-year limited motor warranty and 1 year on the other components.
It is a two-in-one rather than three-in-one, making juice and nut milk from a single built-in strainer, so there is one less screen to wash.
The 4.1 rating is the lowest in this group and comes with a much smaller review base than the rest, so treat it as a less-tested option. What that base does surface is consistent, and it is mostly about mechanics.
What you should know before you buy
250 watts is the weakest motor in the roundup, and the overheat protection will cut out if produce is not chopped small enough. The auger and holding cup can also stick to the base and are hard to remove for cleaning, which is frustrating on a machine whose main selling point is a 60-second rinse.
Who should skip it
Skip it if you want a wide chute combined with strong power: the 5.8 inch opening promises low prep, but the motor underneath means you should chop anything firm anyway. At 14.5 pounds and 18.3 inches tall it is the tallest and heaviest machine here, so check the shelf first.
Why a slow masticating juicer beats a centrifugal for celery
A masticating juicer crushes produce between a slow-turning auger and a strainer, usually somewhere between 40 and 110 RPM. A centrifugal juicer shreds produce with a spinning blade at high speed and throws the juice out by force. For a tough, stringy stalk like celery, that difference decides everything.
Three things follow. The auger physically pulls the strings down rather than leaving them tangled in a spinning basket, which is why centrifugal owners report clogging far more often. Low speed generates almost no heat, so the juice stays cold and less oxygen gets churned into it. And the pulp comes out drier, which means more juice per stalk.
The claim that centrifugal machines destroy all the nutrients is overstated, and the marketing around it is not worth repeating. Heat and oxidation are real effects, but the bigger practical loss with a centrifugal is the produce that ends up in the pulp bin. If you are buying a dedicated celery machine, the honest reason to avoid a centrifugal is clogging and waste, not nutrition panic.
Within the slow juicer family there is a second split: horizontal single auger and vertical auger. Horizontal bodies sit low, take more counter width and generally feel more stable while chewing a long stalk. Vertical bodies stack into a smaller footprint and look neater, but the pulp falls downward and can pack against the screen. Both work on celery. Horizontal suits a long morning session, vertical suits a small kitchen.
One more category deserves a sentence. Twin-gear machines press celery between two counter-rotating gears rather than an auger and a screen, and they are the most thorough option available. None appear in this roundup, so if you want the highest possible extraction and do not mind a heavy countertop machine, our masticating juicer guide is the place to compare them.
How to prep celery so your juicer never jams?
Most celery jam complaints are prep problems, not machine problems. Five minutes of cutting on the board saves five minutes of scraping metal at the chute.
Wash the stalks thoroughly, including inside the stringy ribs at the base, and break the rib fibres apart with your hands before they go near the chute.
Cut stalks into 4 to 6 cm sections unless your machine has a self-feeding wide chute, in which case drop them in whole.
Trim the leafy tops unless you want strong greens flavour in the glass, and avoid stringy flat-leaf herbs in the same batch as they tangle the auger.
Alternate hard and soft produce. A batch of only soft fruit stalls slow juicers, and pairing apple or cucumber with celery keeps everything moving.
Drink the juice straight away. It separates within minutes, and no strainer on this list keeps sediment suspended indefinitely.
What not to put in any juicer: whole stones or pits, ice cubes unless the machine is rated for them, more fibre than the chute width allows, and thick woody pieces of ginger or beet cut to the wrong size. Those are the four things that most often send a machine into a jam.
On volume, much of the interest here comes from the 16 oz, or roughly 470 ml, daily celery routine. At typical slow-press output that means working through about a large bunch of celery per day, so budget for a machine whose hopper and jug do not force you to stop every eight ounces.
What to look for in a juicer built for celery
After twelve machines and a lot of celery, these are the specs that actually separated them. Weight them in this order.
Feed chute width above 5 inches
Chute width is the biggest factor in how much prep celery demands. At 5.8 inches and above, a stalk section goes in whole. At 1.8 inches, everything gets diced and prep time becomes part of your daily routine whether you like it or not. Our masticating juicer guide breaks the measurements down model by model.
Motor class of 250W and above
Celery is watery enough that 150W machines cope. Add a carrot and a 150W motor is working hard. Anything at 300W to 600W gives you headroom for a mixed produce routine without the motor straining audibly.
A reverse or auto-reverse function
Fibre wrap was the most common celery complaint in the reviews, and a reverse button turns a jam into a two-second pause instead of a disassembly. Machines with a single speed and no reverse push all responsibility onto your knife work.
A pulp outlet that stays open under load
Wet, heavy pulp is what blocks the outlet on vertical machines. Horizontal augers and detachable pulp cups let you empty the pulp more often, which is the practical version of a wider outlet.
Cleanup time as the deciding factor
The juicer you clean fastest is the one you will still be using in month eight. Count the juice-contact parts, check whether they are dishwasher safe, and check whether any screen is a fine mesh that needs brushing. That calculation told us more about long-term satisfaction than yield figures did.
Jug size and warranty length
If you are working toward a 16 oz glass, a 0.5 liter jug means stopping twice. Warranty length ranges from one year to fifteen in this roundup, and a longer warranty is a reasonable proxy for how the manufacturer expects the machine to be treated. For a small juice bar or a high-volume home routine, our guide to commercial juicers covers the next step up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you juice celery in a juicer?
Yes, and it is one of the easiest everyday vegetables to juice once you use the right machine. Celery suits a slow masticating juicer because the auger pulls its stringy fibres down gradually instead of tangling them. Cut stalks into 4 to 6 cm sections unless your juicer has a chute of 5.8 inches or wider, and run the pieces through at a steady pace.
What type of juicer is best for juicing celery?
A slow masticating cold press juicer with a wide feed chute and a large pulp outlet. It turns at roughly 40 to 110 RPM, which grinds the fibrous strings down, keeps heat low so oxidation stays limited, and pushes out drier pulp. A fast centrifugal machine shreds celery at high speed, which is why fibrous clogging is the most common complaint in centrifugal juicer reviews.
Which juicer is best for celery juice daily?
For a daily glass, the deciding factor is cleanup rather than peak yield. The Ninja NeverClog JC151 has few juice-contact parts, all dishwasher safe, plus a reverse function and a 24oz jug. If you want to avoid chopping entirely, the AMZCHEF with its 6.5 inch reversible chute is the low-prep option, and the Omega MM1500 is built specifically around a celery end cap.
Are masticating juicers really better for celery?
For this vegetable, yes, for a mechanical reason rather than a nutritional one. The slow auger handles long strings without wrapping, the juice stays cold, and the pulp comes out drier, so you waste less produce. The widely repeated claim that centrifugal juicers destroy all nutrients is overstated. Heat and oxidation are real but modest, and the bigger loss with a centrifugal is produce ending up in the pulp bin.
Why does my juicer clog on celery?
Almost always a prep problem rather than a machine fault. Fibrous stalks wrap around the auger when pieces are too large for the chute, when a batch is all soft produce with nothing firm to push it along, or when the pulp outlet packs. Cut stalks smaller than you think necessary, mix in a hard vegetable such as carrot or cucumber, and empty the pulp container more often.
Which juicers take whole unchopped celery stalks?
Only machines with a wide chute. In this roundup the AMZCHEF and EanOruus have 6.5 inch chutes, the Godspeeds has a 6 inch chute, and the TUUMIIST 580 and VITAPLUS sit at 5.8 inches. The Omega MM1500 also feeds cold whole stalks through its chute, aided by its celery end cap. Narrow-chute machines such as the BRECIOUS at 1.8 inches require small sections.
The best juicer for celery in 2026
The Ninja NeverClog JC151 is the best juicer for celery overall, because it pairs a motor that handles stalks with the lowest cleanup burden here, and that combination is what keeps a daily habit alive. If you want to skip the chopping entirely, the AMZCHEF with its 6.5 inch reversible chute is the pick. If you are starting out, the TUUMIIST 580 gets you a real cold press machine with a wide chute and nothing to scrub.
For the long run, the Omega J8006 and the Omega MM1500 are the two worth saving for. The first is a fifteen-year workhorse with a triple-stage auger, and the second is built around a celery end cap specifically. Whatever you choose, buy for the cleanup and the chute width, cut the celery small, and drink the glass straight away. That habit matters more than any spec on the box.
