For health and many other reasons, you should consider purchasing one of the best cold press juicer options listed below, rather than settling for a regular centrifugal juicer. Your juice will be so much healthier and taste so much better, thanks to the unique mastication method that doesn’t use heat during the extraction process. Heat can affect the amount of vitamins and nutrients that find their way into your juice, so this is an extremely important aspect of juicing.
We made it easy for you to select the right one for your needs by researching all relevant aspects. Optimal speed gives you a quick juice each morning and the right size will fit even in compact kitchens. And if you’re going to use it a lot, the motor must sustain regular use, even if you’re juicing harder fruits and vegetables. With all these things in mind and 16 top picks, our Editor’s Choice, the Omega Extractor and Nutrition Center Juicer, seems superior for most people.
Extra features: includes 6 nozzles, residue and juice cup
The futuristic looks of this juicer you can trust: it does have the modern features you need to get the perfect glass of fresh juice.
For starters this appliance has a 15 year warranty which is proof you’re buying quality. That’s part of why we rate it so highly. You can even feel it’s durable when you work with it.
But it IS practical too. The speed ensures a nutritious outcome as there’s no chance of it heating up. At 80rpm your juice will come out cold and healthy as there’s no high temperature to break down nutrients. Despite the relatively slow speed, it still produces juice faster than some others on this list.
The juicer also uses a unique dual stage masticating technique to extract the juice optimally. That means more liquid and less wastage. The end cap can adjust to assist with this, as it regulates and ensures a high yield. Even for difficult fresh ingredients such as wheat grass this brand has a solution: The grinding happens in a small chamber, so smaller items still get optimally juiced.
This is one of the devices here that’s more than a juicer. The brand calls it a Nutrition Center with which you can facilitate your healthy lifestyle such as making pasta or grinding coffee. We all know that’s the healthier way to do it to ensure you digest fewer processed food items. You can even grind hard nuts and making healthy baby food happens in minutes.
It’s not the lightest option, so it would be ideal if you can leave this on the counter at all times. Luckily the narrow design should fit easily in a cupboard or next to another appliance without robbing you of too much space.
Extra features: all detachable parts made of TRITAN food-grade anti-oxidation materials
Here is one of the most striking juicer designs on our list and if you care what your kitchen looks like, aesthetics matter, right? The red finish adds some style so you won’t mind keeping this out on the counter most of the time. Since it’s also relatively small it won’t rob you of too much space either.
Inside is what matters most though. Your Aobosi motor will grind produce at 80rpm which is an industry standard. The process will usually give you 20% more juice than when using a centrifugal type, which makes it worth investing in: less waste and more nutritious value from the same amount of fruits & vegetables.
It’s a quiet model as it will only deliver around 60dB of sound—quiet enough for most people to sleep through the noise. Your family will also love it because they can simply pop dirty components in the dishwasher after use. This makes you use the juicer more, because you don’t mind the cleanup.
It’s not only the process which determines the quality of the juice; even a machine’s materials affect the final product. Luckily this one is made of food grade anti-oxidation materials which won’t destroy nutrients. This means you get as many nutrients as possible from each glass.
One thing the experts would like to see: a bigger chute.
Extra features: cleaning brush included
You’ll want this one if you’re picky about the texture of the juice as well as the separation. It’s designed to give you a smooth juice that tastes great, but also feels great on the tongue.
It’s another model guaranteed to keep your juice at low temperatures as the motor runs fast enough to power juicing, but won’t run hot. It’s also relatively silent.
Our experts also appreciated the compact design of this one. Even though it’s light enough to store in the cupboard and take out regularly, you’ll most likely leave this on the counter. You can push it flat against a wall and the simple design prevents an area from seeming cluttered.
The next feature you’ll fall in love with is how easy it is to clean. It’s a quick rinse process with components you can remove and carry to the tap – no lugging around the entire machine. If pulp or particles do get stuck there is a small brush to aid with cleaning. And yes, if you want to you can place the parts in the dishwasher too. A winner in this category!
It’s easy to put together, so it’s ideal for families to use. Even the kids can join in. It’s also light enough so they can pick it up when taking it from the cupboard.
It’s reasonably priced while you often get much more juice than from traditional machines, so this one makes budget sense too.
It’s mostly for fruits and vegetables though—don’t try nuts or other tough items such as you can throw into the Omega unit mentioned above.
One concern: we just wish the brand made clear how fast it cycles.
Extra features: pulp wiping and mixing assembly, includes strainer, residue and juice cup, and a cleaning brush
The name says it all: this one goes slow and deserves quite a few stars because slow is exactly how fruit and other produce should be juiced. You get the most nutrients thanks to no overheating. Add the 10-year warranty period and you know why this one features on our list.
The slow motor doesn’t mean you’ll wait forever for your juice. This unit has a duo blade system. That shortens the timeline to getting your juice, without compromising on its quality or nutrition. Part of the efficacy is thanks to the high torque which prevents jamming, helping to get produce juiced faster.
The chute isn’t huge, but at 2.5” at its widest it’s quite adequate. You will have to factor in preparation time and cut food pieces down to size to limit clogging.
What we appreciate about the user friendliness is that you control how and when the juice flows out. If you want to fill different containers you can keep on juicing, simply use the juice cap while you switch to a new glass and then open up again. Super convenient!
This is one of the more versatile items on our list, as it has a mincer too. That doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice a lot of space though. While it’s quite high the base is compact so it uses minimal counter space. Just note that this is one of the heaviest models listed here.
You can also attempt making juice or butter from certain nuts and even coconut milk.
Extra features: reverse function prevents jams
This is a kitchen friendly appliance in more ways than one. You’ll love how little counter space it takes up as it’s quite high, but the base is compact.
Next, there is the cleanup which is quite effortless. The machine deposits pulp in a container so you can easily throw it away. There won’t be much of a mess when you’re done.
After juicing you’ll enjoy a quality juice thanks to the slow working. The 80rpm is more than sufficient to prevent heat buildup so it won’t destroy the nutrients inside your liquid. You also get more juice than with some other units because there are two processes. The produce is crushed and afterwards the pulp gets squeezed through a second press stage. This extracts more juice and, of course, you get more of the nutrients inside the fruit and vegetables. This, along with the long warranty, makes it practical for professionals to use: in a commercial environment it will last you long and produce enough juice to make your venture profitable.
It’s a user-friendly machine almost anyone will quickly get the hang of, as there are only a few controls. Despite it being simple, it’s advanced enough to have a reverse feature so when pieces get stuck it’s easier to dislodge them.
A nifty feature is that the machine actually sucks in the produce pieces. Rarely will you have to press down on the pusher.
It’s quite a heavy machine though—ideally you’ll want to place it somewhere permanently rather than take it from storage every day.
Extra features: comes with cleaning brush, juice and residue cup
One of the first reasons to consider this design is because of it’s impressively wide chute. At over 3” wide it’s super easy to add produce, it cuts down on preparation time and prevents unnecessary oxidation as you don’t have to dice the ingredients beforehand. You can actually add whole fruits even as big as apples which means no nutrients are lost at all: everything gets trapped in your juice.
The unique design incorporates a second chute of 1.57” which is practical for items such as celery. The design ensures that different types of produce all get juiced optimally.
The juice quality also benefits from the motor design as it runs slow at maximum 60rpm. The mechanics guard against overheating, so no nutrients will be lost to high temperatures.
This one runs at 60dB which is softer than your vacuum cleaner will run. Unless you have very light sleepers in the house, this won’t be too disturbing early in the morning.
This is one of the more advanced options that can also help make nut butter, grind your coffee or make baby food. By buying this unit you can save by not buying other appliances. Similar to other advanced models it has a reverse mode. Despite it being a high end model, it’s very easy to operate with only three buttons on the side. The whole family can enjoy using this one.
The machine does all the work for you as it automatically deposits pulp and juice in separate containers. All you have to do is pour into your glass from one and throw away the contents of the other. Cleaning is fairly easy, using the brand’s provided brush.
Some consumers would have preferred if certain components were metal, rather than plastic though.
Extra features: all parts made of Tritan food-grade anti-oxidation materials
If you have a stylish kitchen you don’t want your juicer to ruin the look and that’s only one reason to love this shiny unit from SKG. The reflective exterior is trendy and adds the X-factor to an already impressive machine.
It impresses with its juicing capabilities. The motor runs slower than many others on our list, but you know that’s good news. It means you get more juice without ruining nutrition by destroying nutrients with unnecessary heat. The process is also beneficial to juicing wheatgrass.
Apart from getting a high juice yield you also get very low oxidation levels. This is even enhanced by the components themselves. The TRITAN food grade material don’t allow oxidation to take place where it comes in contact with juice or large pieces of food.
This one’s user friendliness is enhanced by the very large chute. At 3” you can fit huge chunks inside and there is a reverse mode if anything should get stuck. Once again, because you can add large pieces of fruit or veg, there will be less oxidation between cutting and having your juice in hand.
It is a bit large, but actually higher, not bulkier, so it doesn’t take up as much counter space as you would expect. It’s also not heavier than most others on this list. If you don’t have counter space it’s fairly easy to pick it up from a storage cupboard, made even easier by the handle on its side.
This one even comes in striking packaging, so it’s an ideal gift. One drawback is that it requires more effort to clean than some others mentioned here.
Extra features: comes with cleaning brush, juice and residue containers
We added this one for its super low price, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t impress our experts in other ways as well. First off: don’t you think it looks ultra-trendy? It can add to the aesthetics of a room and because it’s so small, you’re bound to leave it on the counter anyway. It’s light too, so easy to move around the kitchen.
It’s cheap and compact, but can handle some of the most challenging items such as wheatgrass; something all health pros will appreciate. It doesn’t have a pulp collection unit, but easily deposits the left overs into a residue container. Depending on the texture, just make sure it won’t splatter the counter or your shirt if you stand next to it.
It has all the makings of pro machines such as a reverse mode to help you unclog pulp. When you’re done you can clean up fairly effortlessly because all the components detach completely. Just carry them to the tap to clean. The brush helps to scrub pulp from the rougher surfaces.
It doesn’t have an exceptionally long warranty period, but for a budget purchase 1 year is still impressive. You also have a month period for a full refund, so test it out and if it’s not what you expected, at least you can return it.
An important matter: you must give it rest time after running it for 10 minutes. Make sure this won’t put your morning schedule under pressure.
More features: DC motor; UL-certified; quiet motor; prevents clogging
The Aio Slow Masticating Juicer features an 80 RPM mastication spiral, which is a standard speed for cold press juicers. The spiral system has seven segments, providing more juice yield and higher nutrition value in your juice. The juicer also has a pulp separation function to minimize the pulp in your juice. The slower spiral function keeps the heat and friction to a minimum, which preserves vitamins, enzymes, minerals, and nutrients without any clogging.

More features: commercial grade; stainless steel twin gears; easy to clean; simple assembly; higher yields; 15-year warranty for home use
The Tribest GS-P502 Greenstar Pro is the highest quality juicer on our list, as this is a commercial-grade juicer that is used by juice bars and other businesses. This is a larger machine, which may hold some back from purchasing, but if you can manage a larger juicer in your home, this is well worth the price. Although it is on the larger size, the design is sleek with your choice of gray or white.
The higher price of this juicer is due to the highest quality parts included. This comes with a stainless-steel bio-ceramic magnetic twin gear system, which produces the freshest juice out of any juicer. It is easy to clean and is designed to maximize the yield of your juice and the nutrients and vitamins that come with it. Although the extraction process is 110 RPM, which is faster than other models, the enhanced twin gears make this juicer a superior quality cold press juicer.
The best part of this juicer is the warranty that comes with it. When using this juicer at home, you get a 15-year warranty. This goes to show you that Tribest believes in the superior quality of their product so much that they believe this should last much longer than any other juicer you buy.
More features: advanced technology; safety lock system; 10-year warranty on a motor; BPA-free; quiet
The Hurom HH-SBB11 Elite Slow Juicer is the most advanced masticating juicer in their lineup and features a slow squeezing technology that extracts more juice than high-speed juicers, leaving less pulp to clean up and more juice extraction. The speed of the motor is a super slow 43 RPM, which not only extracts more juice, but it also makes for a quieter machine when you have a baby, sleeping loved ones, or neighbors to think about.
This juicer is also smaller and will take up less counter space. Don’t be fooled by the slow speed and small unit; This juicer packs a lot of power at 150W. Besides these sought-after features, included with this juicer is a 10-year warranty on the motor and a 2-year warranty on parts. In juicers, the parts usually don’t go bad unless you handle them improperly. As for the motor, having a 10-year replacement warranty is exceptional compared to most other juicers. The advanced technology in this small unit makes this a winner.
More features: quiet motor; higher juicer yield; 10-yer warranty on motor; twin program
The KOIOS Masticating Juicer Machine is a sleek-looking juicer that has a powerful yet quiet motor, putting out only 60dB of sound when running.

More features: great for celery; 15-year warranty; quiet
The Omega MM900HDS Slow Juicer is an exceptional juicer that is made for celery mastication. If you’ve ever owned a juicer before or tried juicing celery, you know that the veggie is hard and fibrous, making it more difficult than other fruits and veggies to break down. This juicer handles celery and other hard fruit and vegetables with ease because of its powerful 200W motor.
Even with the powerful motor, the sound remains quieter than you would think with an 80 RPM dual-stage masticating system. The dual-stage system extracts more vitamins and nutrients from fruits, veggies, wheatgrass, and herbs. The juicer is also easy enough to clean and separates pulp nicely.
Where this juicer does it even better than any other juicer on the market is its coverage on parts and performance. You receive a 15-year warranty with your purchase that includes coverage on both parts and the motor.
More features: unique cold spin technology; custom design; dishwasher safe
The Breville BJE430SIL Juice Fountain is from a brand that you may have heard of before, as it has been in documentaries and magazines all over. However, this juicer is different than the others on the list because of the type of juicer it is. While this is a cold press juicer, it is an 850W centrifugal juicer instead of a masticating juicer. This means there is a mesh blade that spins much quicker instead of a spinning spiral that does more squeezing and grinding than it does cutting and chopping.
The centrifugal system means you will get a lower yield of nutrients and vitamins in your final juice extraction, but this also makes the juicing action much faster than other juicers. The extra-large chute also makes it easy to drop full apples into the juicer without pre-cutting, so you can make your juice and continue with your day quickly. Included are a pulp bin and extra-large juice pitcher.
Extra features: lifelong technical support, quiet operation (less than 60 dBs), reverse function to prevent jams
This one is quite eye catching from the get go with its green components—a color scheme quite appropriate to this niche. But its effectiveness will definitely also keep your attention.
The 80rpm juicing method is slow enough that your produce won’t experience much oxidation or heat. There is a specially designed system to keep the pomace from being dumped in your glass, so this juice is very drinker friendly—therefore also safer for smaller kids to drink as they won’t choke on particles.
This is one of the models proudly proclaiming how silent it goes, so this is child friendly in another way too: most kids will sleep through the noise level of 60dB so you can use while other family members are still in bed in the morning.
When you take it out you’ll appreciate its solid feel that won’t easily topple or shift on the counter. And when you’re done the parts that require washing can go into your dishwasher. Safe, user friendly and low on maintenance make this an industry favorite.
Now let’s talk about the coolest feature of this juicer – why can it yield so much more juice than some conventional ones? Because it has a long worm spiral system. The spiral’s segments ensure every last bit of juice is pushed out of the pulp.
The only thing that is concerning is the strainer that doesn’t clean easily. It’s not a deal-breaker though.
Above we mentioned the importance of picking a cold press juicer, rather than other traditional devices. But finding the right type of cold press juicer is just as important. You don’t want to invest in something you’ll just surrender to the kitchen cupboard. Our list will help you pick wisely, for your health and for ease of use. But first, be motivated to spend a little more, because it’s worth it.
Picking the right juicer is not a decision to be taken lightly. We’re not being over dramatic: this can affect your lifestyle, habits and health:
All of this means: it will be fun and effortless to make your juicer part of your lifestyle from now on if you invest in the right one.
The added benefit of picking a top notch cold press juicer, rather than settling for other types include:
With this type of juicer, you may have to wait a little longer to get your juice, as they work slower than centrifugal ones. However, in our books that’s a small price to pay for their significant health benefits. They’re also a great alternative to the powerful – but somewhat more costly – twin gear juicers, although these are definitely worth considering if you’re into juicing.
While there are good things to say about all the items listed in our reviews, we know you’ll only love your cold press juicer if it aligns with your personal preferences. We’ll explain a few vital features—use the insight to help you make your final selection of what YOU need.
Important note: cold press juicers are notably slower than other juicers. Don’t let this put you off—it’s actually a good thing.
In most cases, the slower the better, because there’s no heat generation with fast turning components that will destroy nutrients and valuable enzymes.
Be realistic with your expectations and be prepared to wait +/- 5 minutes for a glass of fresh juice. Worth the wait!
Speed also affects the texture of your juice. Although a sign of freshness, not everyone enjoys the froth on top of freshly squeezed juice. With cold press juicers, the slow processes limit froth as well as separation. Once again: the slower the better.
The object here is not speed, as with some machines, but simply power. The motor must be able to keep going, even if you’re using harder vegetable types such as carrots. Even more so if you want to crush up nuts for making butter.
The Omega Juicer’s 150W is more than acceptable although the SKG has over 200W of power. The latter isn’t necessarily better, as many other features also affect how your machine will perform.
Here you have to consider two things: your habits and the space you have available. Ideally you need to leave this on the counter so it’s always available. (Otherwise you may be too lazy to get it out regularly). This means you must pick one that won’t take up too much counter space. In large kitchens this is less of an issue.
If you do have limited space and will have to store it in the cupboard each day, make sure you pick one of a manageable weight. Will anyone in your family be able to get it out easily? Make it a family friendly option so everyone can enjoy the healthy lifestyle.
This is one of the user friendly features worth investing in. You don’t want to struggle loading your fruit or vegetable pieces into your juicer. You also don’t want to waste time cutting them up in tiny pieces just so they’ll fit through. A chute with a large opening at the top makes for quick and easy work. It also means larger food items can easily become part of your next drink.
A wide chute can even affect how healthy your juice is, as oxidation increases when you cut up the fresh produce in small pieces. Every second, oxidation causes changes in the chemical make up of the fruit or veg, which determines what ends up in your glass.
All juicers don’t work the same and you have to find one that will work for the fresh items you love most. Some devices may not be strong enough to juice harder food items such as some vegetables. You also need one that will work well with herbs or grasses if that’s important to your diet. Don’t assume you have the right one simply because it pushes out some juice, though: the important matter is whether you get a high yield. This is determined by how exactly the machine works. The technique must be able to squeeze juice from hard, but also flexible pieces of produce. If you pick the wrong one you may get so little juice from some herbs that it doesn’t make monetary sense and you’ll essentially be wasting food.
Last thought on the matter: do you want to add nut milk to your juices? You’ll need a unique device to handle these hard food items.
Not every juice session will go without a hitch. Occasionally pieces get stuck and the motor simply can’t push them through. You can try and pull out the wedged pieces, but a reverse function is a faster, safer and more effective way. A valuable feature to invest in, as seen in the Aicok model.
This appliance is supposed to simplify your life, not make it more complicated. And who likes cleaning up?
Research how easy it is to clean before you pick one. If yours requires a lot of maintenance you may feel demotivated to even start juicing because you want to avoid the work that comes afterwards.
A very handy alternative is when your juicer’s components are dishwasher safe. Apart from making your life easy, this is also proof that you’re purchasing durable parts.
Some will say you must invest in one device that does it all. For starters: yes, it’s very handy if your juicer has accessories that make juicing more effective and easy. A strainer limits the amount of pulp in your juice, but isn’t necessary if you actually prefer that goodness in your juice.
Other units may have more advanced features such as the mincer on the Tribest Juicer. It’s such a handy kitchen all in one option. However, if you don’t plan on ever mincing anything, this won’t be an asset and actually a waste of money.
You may also find other accessories that act as normal blenders or even helps you make pasta. Do you really need them?
Tip: look at your habits and lifestyle & make sure you don’t pay more for gadgets you’ll never use.
The good news is that masticating, cold press juicers usually work much quieter than centrifugal ones. At least you know you won’t bother your neighbors too much. Still, each one mentioned above will operate at a different sound level and manufacturers know it’s important so they usually mention it in the specs. Look for the rating in dB, as noted with the Aicok model running at 60dB. If you know you’ll make your juice while the rest of the family is still asleep, it’s worth picking the quiet one.
Above you’ll see some pretty impressive warranties such as the Omega Juicer’s 15 years. That tells you that a quality unit isn’t supposed to stop working within 12 months. In fact, this manufacturer has some of the lengthiest warranties on the market, with the best Omega juicers offering up to 15 years, as exemplified by our best pick.
The top brands make sure you enjoy the benefits for long, so if you have the money, give yourself peace of mind by picking one with at least a two year warranty.
You can let your machine last a little longer by only using it for what it’s made to do. Don’t expect more of it: if it’s not made for nuts, don’t throw them in.
Of course, if you’re shopping on a budget, you may have to settle for a shorter period.
A great extra is if the brand provides you with a brush that will fit inside the smaller components, for easy cleaning of hard to reach crevices, or removing pulp that got stuck.
Now, which of these will help you live a healthier life from now on? Our experts unanimously nominated the Omega Juicers NC900HDC model as the best choice, as it will last you a very long time and it works effectively. It can also do so much that your entire cooking and drinking habits can be transformed by one machine.
For looks and effectiveness, add the Aobosi to your list of best cold press juicer options. The red finish makes it a great addition to a kitchen – and it’s compact, which is a great bonus. For a smaller unit, it delivers a lot of juice. We were impressed.
Finally, if you want to enjoy a fresh glass of juice without a long process of cleaning your juicer afterward, our recommendation is the Hamilton Beach 67951. Not only it’s easy to clean, this juicer is also compact and quiet, making it one of the best cold press juicers out there.
