Horizontal juicers usually come with a broader range of attachments, allowing you to make not only juices but also nut butter, sorbets, and even pasta. This makes them a preferred choice for those who enjoy experimenting with different recipes and textures.

Horizontal juicers often face difficulties in managing the accumulation of pulp caused by softer ingredients. Among these, ripe apples, oranges, pineapples, kiwi, grapefruit, and passion fruit are the most problematic. These ingredients usually lead to a significant build-up of mushy residue, creating a backlog that the juicer can't handle on its own.

Vertical juicers, while slightly less versatile in terms of attachments, often require less pre-cutting of ingredients due to their upright design. This can save time during the juicing process, as larger pieces of fruits and vegetables can be fed into the juicer without extensive preparation.

Vertical juicers are not well-suited for juicing celery due to the fibrous nature of celery sticks, which can clog the juicer and lead to issues like jamming or parts cracking. When juicing celery with a vertical juicer, it's recommended to cut the celery into small chunks and manually clear any pulp build-up every 5 to 10 minutes. Similarly, vertical juicers are not ideal for juicing leafy greens alone but can handle them when mixed with other ingredients like root vegetables. Soft fruits like apples, pineapples, kiwi, grapefruit, and oranges also pose challenges for vertical juicers due to their fibrous yet juicy texture, often resulting in lower juice yields.
