Undoubtedly, juicing fruits, vegetables, grasses and herbs comes with awesome benefits for health - packing in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and enzymes. However, if you are like me you don't always feel like cleaning your juice machine and you want the process to be as quick and painless as possible. So let's take a look at what juicer machines are the easiest to clean.
Types of Juicer Machines
Before we look at specific juicer machines, lets quickly break down the main styles of juicers. This is important because there is one type of machine that is easier to clean than other types. So simply by buying any juicer of this type you are going to make your juicing clean up life easier.
- Winner - Vertical Masticating Juicers: And specifically dish-washer safe models are the easiest type of juicing machines to clean in 2018 (or any previous year). They generally have less parts to clean than other styles of juicer and the parts are easy to clean.
- Centrifugal Juicers: While these are the cheapest juicers to buy and make juicer the fastest they are the least pleasant to clean. The fruit and veg fibers get strongly wedged into the cutting disc and the mesh filter and require a bit of scrubbing to clean out.
- Horizontal Masticating Juicers: These, like their vertical friends, produce excellent juice yields but have more components to clean.
- Twin Gear Juice Machines: These produce the best juice yields of all. They are more expensive than single gear masticating machines (such as the vertical and horizontal masticating machines) but also include more parts to clean.

What does this juicer have that the cheaper Homgeek review above has. The Homegeek is still fairly new to the market, so how well it holds up over time is still yet to be established. The Omega VRT350 is a robust machine, it can hold up for decade. If in the rare case it doesn't, it comes with a 10 year warranty. Just a quick look at the design difference between the two, you can clearly see the Omega is better looking and of a higher quality build.
