There are two main types of juicers. Masticating juicers (sometimes called cold press juicers) use a slow-turning auger to squeeze juice out of fruits and vegetables. Centrifugal juicers (or juice extractors) operate at a higher speed, pushing fruits and veggies through rapidly spinning blades.

Juicers differ from blenders in that they separate out the pulp and leftovers you don’t want using a filter (typically a mesh screen). A blender doesn’t really make “juice” since everything stays in the same container, though it can achieve a fine-enough consistency for a thicker drink such as a smoothie. You can, of course, strain blended material after the fact, using cheesecloth or a sieve, but that’s a lot more work.
