A 2 in 1 juicer and blender combo trades dedicated-machine peak performance for counter space and a single appliance budget. For kitchens where both juice and smoothies happen regularly but a Vitamix plus a Hurom together is overkill, the combo format works well. After reviewing the available combo machines, these five stood out for build, motor durability, and yield.

Hurom H400 with Blender Attachment - Best Overall
The Hurom H400 is the flagship of Hurom’s vertical masticating juicer line, and the optional blender attachment turns it into the most capable 2 in 1 combo in the home category. The 200 watt brushless DC motor runs at 40 RPM during juicing (silent, no foam) and ramps to higher speeds for blending duty.
The 40 ounce blender jar handles smoothies, frozen drinks, and cold soups well. Juice yield from leafy greens (kale, spinach) is industry-leading because of the slow auger speed and the proprietary self-cleaning strainer design. Trade-off: at roughly $700 for the juicer plus $150 for the blender attachment, the total is the highest in this comparison, and the blender attachment is sold separately. Best overall pick for serious users with budget flexibility.
Omega NC900HDC Combo - Best for Leafy Greens
The Omega NC900HDC is a horizontal masticating juicer that excels at leafy greens, wheatgrass, and dense vegetables that vertical augers struggle with. The combo configuration adds a small blender jar (32 ounces) and a homogenizing attachment for nut butters and baby food.
Juicer yield on kale is 30 to 40 percent higher than centrifugal competitors, and the slow 80 RPM auger produces minimal oxidation, which extends juice shelf life in the fridge to 48 to 72 hours. The 15 year motor warranty is the longest in this comparison. Trade-off: the 32 ounce blender jar is small for family-size smoothies, and the horizontal footprint takes more counter space than vertical designs. Best pick for green-juice-focused users.
Breville Juice and Blend BJB840 - Best for Speed
The Breville BJB840 takes the centrifugal approach for the juicer side (Breville’s signature wide chute and 1200 watt motor) and pairs it with a 50 ounce blender jar. The centrifugal juicer side processes a whole apple in 5 seconds and extracts 16 ounces of mixed-vegetable juice in roughly 90 seconds.
The trade-off vs masticating juicers is foamier juice with shorter fridge shelf life (drink within 24 hours for best quality) and lower yield on leafy greens. The blender side performs well thanks to the high-wattage motor. Trade-off: noise is significant during juicing (85 dBA at 3 feet), and oxidation is higher than slow-juicer competitors. Best pick for speed-focused users and fruit-heavy juicing.
Kuvings B1700 with Smoothie Strainer - Best Hybrid Mode
The Kuvings B1700 takes a unique approach: instead of a dedicated blender jar, it includes a “smoothie strainer” attachment that lets the masticating juicer process whole frozen fruit into a smoothie-style output without separating juice from pulp. The result is somewhere between a juice and a blend, with full fiber retention.
The 240 watt motor and 3-inch wide feed chute handle whole apples and oranges without pre-cutting. Juice yield is competitive with Hurom on most produce. Trade-off: the smoothie output is not as smooth as a true high-speed blender, and the strainer attachment requires careful cleaning to avoid pulp buildup. Best pick for users who want fiber-retaining whole-fruit drinks.
Ninja Foodi NeverDull JC150 - Best Budget
The Ninja Foodi NeverDull at roughly $200 is the most accessible 2 in 1 combo. The centrifugal juicer side delivers solid performance on fruit-based juices, and the 64 ounce blender jar is the largest in this comparison. The 1000 watt motor handles both functions adequately.
Trade-off: leafy green yield is the weakest in this comparison (typical of all centrifugal designs at this price point), and the 1 year warranty is short compared to the masticating-juicer competitors that offer 10 to 15 years. The juicer mesh shows wear at 18 to 24 months in active households. Best budget pick for fruit-juice users with limited motor longevity expectations.
How to choose a 2 in 1 juicer and blender
Juicer type. Masticating (slow auger) is better for leafy greens, longer juice shelf life, and quiet operation. Centrifugal (high-RPM disc) is faster and cheaper but produces foamier juice with shorter shelf life.
Motor type and warranty. Brushless DC motors with 10 to 15 year warranties signal durable builds. Universal-motor combos with 1-year warranties typically last 18 to 36 months in regular use.
Blender jar size. 32 ounce jars suit single-person households; 50 to 64 ounce jars handle family smoothies. Larger jars require more counter and cabinet space.
Cleanup. Masticating juicers have more parts to clean (auger, screen, drum, end cap) which adds 3 to 5 minutes per session. Centrifugal juicers clean faster but the mesh basket needs scrubbing to avoid pulp buildup.

Frequently asked questions
How does a 2 in 1 juicer and blender combo actually work?+
A 2 in 1 combo uses a single motor base with two attachments: a juicer head (usually a slow masticating auger or centrifugal disc) and a blender jar. You swap attachments between functions. The shared motor saves counter space and cost vs two separate appliances. The trade-off is that swapping attachments adds 30 to 60 seconds to each task vs leaving dedicated machines ready to use, and the shared motor is sized for the easier of the two jobs.
Are 2 in 1 juicer blender combos as good as standalone units?+
On the blender side, combo machines typically deliver 70 to 85 percent of standalone blender performance because the shared motor is optimized for juicing torque rather than blending speed. On the juicer side, combo machines deliver 85 to 95 percent of standalone juicer yield because the juicer side gets the more demanding portion of the motor design. For most home users, the trade-off is acceptable in exchange for the space and cost savings.
What is the difference between masticating and centrifugal juicing?+
Centrifugal juicers spin a shredding disc at 10,000+ RPM to fling juice through a mesh screen. They are fast (16 ounces in 60 seconds) but produce foamier juice with less yield from leafy greens. Masticating juicers crush ingredients with a slow auger at 40 to 80 RPM, producing higher yield, drier pulp, and longer-lasting juice. Masticating is the better choice for leafy greens, wheatgrass, and meal-prep batch juicing.
Can I blend hot soup in a 2 in 1 combo?+
Only if the blender jar is rated for hot liquids. Glass jars handle hot soup at 180+ degrees Fahrenheit without thermal stress. Plastic Tritan jars can typically handle 170 to 180 degrees. Some combo machines specifically warn against hot blending because the shared motor design has limited heat dissipation. Check the spec sheet before blending hot ingredients; thermal shock cracking a jar is a common failure.
How long do 2 in 1 juicer blender combos last?+
Quality combos with brushless or DC motors last 5 to 8 years of regular use (3 to 5 times per week). Budget combos with universal motors typically last 18 to 36 months before motor or gear wear becomes noticeable. The juicer auger and screen are often the first parts to need replacement at year 3 to 5, and replacement parts availability varies significantly by brand.
