Small but Mighty: Canada’s 9 Best Small Juicers Ranked

Is limited space keeping you from reaping the benefits of juicing? Get a small juicer! 

You don’t need a big juicer to get fresh, healthy juice every day. A compact juicer can do the job just right. 

Whether you’re a student in a dorm room or a studio owner with a tiny kitchen, you can easily fit in a small juicer in your space. Plus, the right juicer may even elevate the look of your counter. 

This list will help you find the right, space-saving juicer for your home. 

What Is a Small Juicer?

A small juicer is typically compact once assembled, with a width of under 10 inches and a depth of under 8 inches. It may produce a single serving of juice (240 ml) at a time. 

Pro tip: The height of small juicers can vary. Some are short, but some have a similar height to that of normal or large-sized juicers – just with a smaller footprint. So, if you want yours to easily fit under the cabinet, check that height measurement. 

Compact juicers are ideal for individuals and small families, especially those pressed for kitchen space. They take less cabinet and counter space and are generally easy to assemble and use. 

What to Look for in a Small Juicer?

Juicers make it easy to get healthy vitamins and minerals from fruits and vegetables. However, that convenience varies by juicer type and model. 

When looking to buy a small juicer in Canada, consider the following:

Types of Juicers

First of all, decide which type of small juicer you need. There are both manual and electric options. Of course, the electric juicers are more efficient and convenient to use. Some of the best ones can also juice virtually all types of fruits and vegetables, including the hard ones. Manual juicers are usually best for citrus fruits, so you can't use them for fibrous ingredients or green juice.

In electric juicers, you have two options–centrifugal models and cold-press juicers. Centrifugal juicers use fast-moving blades to squeeze the juice and separate the pulp. Cold-press or slow juicers use an auger to press out the juice, which results in fresher, better-tasting juice.  As a side note, some of them can even be used for nut butters.

Besides, vertical juicers are more compact than horizontal juicers.

Features and Functions

Pay attention to the features and functions offered with the compact juicer. Small juicers may not have the capacity for all the bells and whistles of large juicers, but they should at least get the basic features right. Ideally, you should be able to juice multiple ingredients. 

Look out for proprietary features and how they can help you with your juicing goals. For instance, Hurom cold-press juicers feature the Slow Squeeze Technology, which imitates hand-squeezing and limits the rotations to under 100 per minute (rpm).  That said, affordable juicers lack certain functions, like better juicing technology or being able to make different other foods. They tend to have narrow chutes that demand smaller pieces of produce and tend to not work as well with tough ingredients or fibrous vegetables.

Dimensions

Check out the dimensions of the juicer, as those will confirm whether you actually chose a compact model. Pay attention to the juicer's width, depth, and height when assembled. Besides, a built-in pulp container ensures the juicer stays compact.

Portability

Is the juicer travel-friendly? You may want to travel with your small juicer, whether you’re going away for work or pleasure. Both the dimensions and the design of the juicer should be travel-friendly. Any carrying accessories can be a big plus. 

Ease of Use

Compact juicers usually have basic features, so they’re easy to use. Still, ensure that the juicer you’re getting is easy to assemble and use. Too many buttons, short cords, and complex safety locks are all red flags in terms of convenience. 

Ease of Cleaning

Assuming you’re buying a compact juicer for ease, you’d want it to be easy to clean. Watch out for juicers that require a lot of scrubbing every time you use them. Ideally, you want a juicer that requires just a quick rinse. 

Durability

The juicer’s small size shouldn’t compromise its construction’s quality and durability. Look for juicers with stainless steel and BPA-free plastic parts. It’s best to go with a small juicer with a warranty or a window for a refund so you have time to assess its durability. 

Price

For many, price is a major consideration when buying a juicer. Some folks may opt for a small juicer solely to save money, as a bigger ones can be quite pricey. The good news is you can easily find a budget-friendly compact juicer. 

But if you have the budget for a nicer, more durable small juicer, invest in one. A more expensive juicer will last a long time and won’t give you any trouble. Although Hurom’s slow juicers are not cheap, they’re a solid investment in your health and well-being.

Best Small Juicers in Canada

After careful review and testing, we created this solid list of small juicers in Canada with something for everyone:

1. Hurom H310 Easy-Clean Slow Juicer: Best Overall

The Hurom H310 Easy Clean Slow Juicer is the best small juicer (even if we say so ourselves). It delivers nutrient-rich and tasty juice produced with its Slow Squeeze technology.

The compact, streamlined design of the juicer makes it space-efficient and travel-friendly. But don’t let its small size deceive you—it packs in a punch of power to juice most fruits and vegetables, including leafy greens and tougher produce. You can also use it to make nut milk at home. 

It will easily fit in a carry-on luggage, so you can make delicious juice on the go. With a diameter of just four inches and a weight of eight pounds, it’s also easy to carry. 

Even though it’s compact, it features a self-feeding hopper that can accommodate whole fruits. That reduces the prep work significantly. No need to cut your fruits small. 

The H310 is also a breeze to clean, thanks to the two-part auger with no mesh that only requires rinsing. There’s no need for scrubbing, although a cleaning brush is provided. 

It’s the ultimate compact and travel-friendly masticating juicer for those looking to juice daily and reap the health benefits of freshly pressed juice. 

Pros

• Chic, compact design

• Self-feeding hopper

• More juice yield 

• Safe, BPA-free materials

• 15-year warranty

Con

• Some bits of pulp make it into the juice

2. Hurom H70 Easy-Clean Slow Juicer: The Goldilocks Zone

The Hurom H70 is another superstar of the Easy Clean Series, offering easy-to-wash parts and reliable performance without a big footprint. 

While it’s slightly bigger and taller than the H310, it’s just the right size for a family looking for a compact juicer that doesn’t require multiple runs. 

Thanks to its generous hopper and chamber, you can use whole fruits and produce a decent amount of juice in one go. You can use it for batch juicing to make multiple servings for your family or storage in the fridge. 

Since it’s a slow juicer, it doesn’t oxidize the essential vitamins and antioxidants. It works great on soft fruit, leafy vegetables, and even fibrous ginger. The result is a glass of juice with maximum nutrient retention and, of course, great taste. 

The H70 also features no mesh screens, which makes cleaning easy. It basically incorporates the strainer function in the chamber – that’s how we made the Easy Clean Technology.

As a result, it doesn't produce entirely pulp-free juice. But the silver lining is that the leftover pulp in the juice increases fiber content, which is good for you. 

Pros

• Compact footprint

• Powerful performance with higher yield in every drop of juice

• Quiet operation

• Easy to clean

• 15-year warranty

Cons

• Some pulp makes it into the juice

3. Emijock Masticating Juicer: Good with Veggies

The Emijock Masticating Juicer features a single-piece bladeless spiral auger for squeezing, grinding, and extracting the juice of fruits and vegetables. 

It also features a large feed chute, so you can add in whole fruits. Also, the three-component assembly is quick and easy. 

This one is good with vegetables because of its auger design. However, the strainer components tend to clog with overly soft fruit or vegetables. 

It’s quiet with a 60dB motor, as there are no fast-moving blades. 

The compact size makes it a good choice for those small kitchens in studios and lofts. But it’s not the most lightweight, which makes it less travel-friendly. 

Pros

• Large feed chute

• Easy to clean

• Quiet operation

Cons

• Low durability

• Not great with soft, ripped fruits

4. Magic Bullet Mini Juicer: Affordable Option

Magic Bullet Mini Juicer is a fast, compact juicer with a 400-watt motor. It comes with a 16 oz. cup with a lid, which is convenient and commute-friendly. 

Unlike our top three recommendations, this one is a centrifugal juicer. While that means you get a glass of juice in seconds, it’s not as high-quality as a cold-pressed one. 

The footprint is small, making it space-efficient for a crowded kitchen counter. It weighs just a little over 2 kg. 

It’s a viable appliance to have for juicing but users have reported a serious drawback. It’s leaky, as juice often makes its way around the base of the juicer. 

Pros

• Powerful blades and motor

• Cup with a lid included

• Dishwasher-safe parts

Cons

• Small chute (requires cutting)

• Leaky base

• One-year limited warranty

5. TUUMIIST Juicer: Budget-Friendly Cold-Press Juicer

The TUUMIIST Juicer is an affordable cold-press juicer with an aesthetically pleasing design. 

It features a three-in-one cold-press technology with 0.1mm grinding teeth that, like most masticating juicers, preserves the nutritional value of the fruit and vegetable juices. 

All the plastic components are made of BPA-free, food-safe materials. 

Its small diameter will easily fit into a corner of your kitchen counter or cabinet. 

On the other hand, it does require relatively more prep work, as the chute is small. You’ll need to cut or slice large fruits and vegetables. 

Also, it doesn’t auto-feed the produce into the chute. You have to use the pusher for that. 

If you don’t mind the effort, this cold-press juicer could be an option. However, Hurom juicers offer more value for money, especially as they are more durable. Unfortunately, many users claim that durability is one of the biggest problems the TUUMIIST juicer has.

Pros

• Compact footprint

• Beautiful design

• High juice yield

• Anti-slip bottom pads

Cons

• Small chute

• Not very durable

6. Ventray Ginnie Mini Cold Press Juicer: Very Colorful Juicer

Most juicers come in black or grey shades, but not the Ventray Ginnie Mini Cold Press Juicer. The base has a linear texture and comes in various colours. 

This one is truly compact, with a small diameter and short height. It can easily travel with you anywhere. The build quality could pose a significant issue, though, in terms of durability

But its compact size is also the reason behind one flaw—the prep work. You must cut down your fruit and veggies into bite-sized pieces to push them through the long chute. Otherwise, it can get jammed quickly. 

It comes with two glasses: one to collect the juice and one for the pulp. 

Also, this one makes only a single serving of juice. It’s better suited for a single person, not a family. 

Pros

• Quick and easy to clean

• Sleek design

• Travel-friendly

• Ideal for personal use

Cons

• Small chute

• May get jammed with hard, big pieces

• Not durable

7. Dash Compact Cold Press Juicer: Travel-Friendly Juicer

The Dash Compact Cold Press Juicer is a portable, small juicer that produces nutritionally-charged juice from fresh fruits and vegetables. 

People also note its ease of cleaning and the fact that the accessories are dishwasher-safe. 

All the attachments are removable, so you can disassemble them and throw them in a backpack or luggage. But even when it’s fully assembled, it can fit easily. 

Since it’s quite small, it’s only designed for personal use. You can’t do batch juicing with it. 

The price tag is affordable, but that comes with a catch. It’s not the most durable, so you should be careful when juicing hard fruits and vegetables. 

Pros

• Easy to pack and carry

• Space saver

• High-quality juice

Cons

• Not durable

• Requires prep 

8. Elite Gourmet EJX600 - Basic Cold-Press Juicer

The Elite Gourmet EJX600 is another slow juicer worth considering. It’s a budget-friendly, small juicer with an auger that produces good yield and flavour. 

Although the width and depth of the juicer are small, it’s a bit tall (over 30 cm). It may not fit into a cabinet in assembled form, especially if you have dividers. 

Also, like other personal juicers, it requires some prep work. You also have to push down the ingredients. 

It rotates at 70 rpm, which is slightly higher than other recommended cold-press juicers but still low enough not to produce heat in the chamber. 

If you’re just looking for a cold-press juicer with basic functionality and a small size, this one is a viable choice. Just don’t use it with very hard produce, as it struggles to press hard fruits or veggies. 

Pros

• Easy to use

• Tasty juice yield

• Budget-friendly

Cons

• Tall design

• Small chute

9. Cuisinart Compact Blender & Juice Extractor: Powerful Juicer

This a combination product from Cuisinart, offering a compact juicer and blender. Since we’re only concerned with small juicers, we’ll focus only on the juicer in this combo. 

The juice extractor is powerful and has a heavy-duty motor base. While it’s compact, that base lends it some extra weight. 

Also, the removable pulp collector is convenient, but it also makes the design and look of the juicer a bit clunky. 

It’s fast at juicing and will work with virtually any type of fruit and veggies. You get up to 16 oz. of juice. 

Here’s the downside: It’s supposed to be easy to clean with dishwasher-safe accessories. However, be prepared to clean up some mess. The residue pulp often gets stuck between the cover and the feed tube. It also goes under the mesh filter.  Basically, pulp is everywhere once you use it, making it not so easy to clean after all. 

Pros

• Powerful motor

• Quick juicing

• Stainless steel extractor

Con

• Messy performance
