Walk past a juice stand in Mexico and you will see the logic of a good jugo verde: pineapple, celery, cucumber, orange and sometimes nopal, pressed to order. At home, a cold press juicer is the machine that takes fibrous greens and stalks like those without the roar of a spinning basket. It squeezes produce slowly with an auger instead of shredding it at high speed.
Our main juicer guide mixes in fast centrifugal machines. This one sticks to cold press only and sets out eight juicers, split by the question that matters most day to day: do you want a self-feeding hopper you can walk away from, or a feed-chute machine you tend by hand? For each we give the speed, capacity, cleaning and warranty.

Quick verdict: which cold press juicer to buy
For most households, the best cold press juicer is the Hurom H330: a 2-liter self-feeding hopper, two strainers and a 15-year warranty. If cleanup decides it, the Hurom H70 has no mesh strainer to scrub. In a small kitchen, the Nama J3 gives hands-free juicing at a smaller size. To start without a big commitment, the nutribullet Slow Juicer has dishwasher-safe parts and a 3-inch chute.
Here are the five we would shortlist, then all eight in detail.

Our picks for the best cold press juicer
The first four are self-feeding hopper machines. The Ninja is feed-as-you-go, the Tribest is a small gravity-fed design, and the last two are vertical presses you feed by hand. Each pick says who it suits, what the maker or listing states, and one honest reason to skip it. None of these models appears in our main or affordable juicer guides.
1. Hurom H330 Cold Press Juicer – Whole Produce, Big Hopper
The H330 is the machine for someone who wants to load a full recipe and leave. Hurom’s listing puts the hopper at 2 liters and says it takes whole apples, carrots, celery and leafy greens with no pre-cutting. You add the produce, press start and do something else while it feeds itself through the press.
The auger turns at 50 RPM, according to the listing, which also says a safety shut-off stops the motor if the hopper lid opens and restarts it when the lid closes. Two strainers come in the box: a fine one for smooth, low-pulp juice and a coarse one for fuller texture. Hurom also pitches it for nut milk and smoothies, and sells an ice cream strainer separately.
The listing describes the parts as BPA-free Tritan, stainless steel and GE-Ultem, says the machine is made in Korea, and gives a 15-year warranty. The power cord detaches for storage. A large hopper also means a tall machine, so measure under your cabinets before you buy.
Why we like it
- 2-liter self-feeding hopper, per the listing
- Fine and coarse strainers in the box
- 15-year warranty stated on the listing
- Safety shut-off if the lid opens mid-cycle
Key specifications
| Model | H330P-BBS01DV |
|---|---|
| Feed style | Self-feeding hopper |
| Speed | 50 RPM |
| Motor | Not stated for the US listing |
| Capacity | 2 L hopper |
| Weight | Not stated for the US listing |
| Cleaning | Removable parts, hand rinse |
| Warranty | 15 years |
Why we recommend it
It suits a household that juices several glasses at a time and wants its hands free during the run. The size of the hopper and the length of the warranty are what put it first here.
Skip it if you only ever make one glass, because the smaller Nama J3 below does that with less counter space.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Loads a whole recipe at once
- Two pulp levels from two strainers
- Long stated warranty
Cons
- Hurom does not give its weight on the US listing
- Hopper machines stand tall; check cabinet height
- Strainers need brushing after use
2. Hurom H70 Easy Clean Juicer – No Mesh Strainer to Scrub
The strainer is the part most people come to dislike on a cold press juicer, because pulp packs into fine mesh and has to be brushed out. The H70 drops the mesh. Hurom says a two-part auger filters out the pulp as it juices, and that the parts detach and rinse clean in under a minute. That timing is the maker’s own claim, but the design is the reason to look at this juicer.
It is a self-feeding machine with a large hopper and wider inlet, which Hurom pitches as a balance of size and function. Hurom gives no hopper volume on the listing. Retailers put the motor at 150 watts, and they disagree on the speed, with figures from 50 to 70 RPM. One retailer lists a 15-year warranty, so confirm that term on the listing before you rely on it.
A gauge window on the front shows how full the chamber is. Hurom says it has fewer parts and a simpler internal structure than other designs, which should also help with reassembly on a busy morning.
Why we like it
- Strainer-free chamber with no mesh to clog
- Self-feeding hopper with a wider inlet
- Front gauge shows the chamber level
- Fewer parts to put back together, per Hurom
Key specifications
| Model | H70FT-BBC06MB |
|---|---|
| Feed style | Self-feeding hopper |
| Speed | Retailers differ (50 to 70 RPM) |
| Motor | 150 W, per retailers |
| Capacity | Not stated |
| Weight | Not stated |
| Cleaning | Strainer-free, rinse under the tap |
| Warranty | 15 years, per a retailer |
Why we recommend it
It suits anyone who has owned a juicer and stopped using it because of the cleanup. If rinsing is what decides whether a machine stays on the counter, this design addresses that directly.
Skip it if you want a choice of pulp levels, because with no strainers there is nothing to swap.
Pros and cons
Pros
- No mesh to scrub or stain
- Compact for a hopper machine
- Quick rinse, by Hurom’s account
Cons
- No hopper volume on the listing
- Sources conflict on speed
- No strainer swap for pulpier juice
3. Nama J3 Compact Cold Press Juicer – Hands-Free for Small Kitchens
The J3 is Nama’s smaller take on the self-feeding juicer. Nama lists it at 8.9 inches wide, 6.5 inches deep and 15.4 inches high, and 9.7 pounds with the chamber set fitted, so it can live in a cabinet and come out for the morning glass.
You trade volume for that size. Nama says it yields 8 to 16 ounces of juice per load and describes it as built for everyday juicing rather than large-batch prep. For a bigger batch you top it up during the run. The motor is rated at 130 watts and turns at 50 RPM, and the box holds a juice container, pulp container, strainers, a cleaning brush and a recipe book.
For prep, Nama says many fruits and vegetables can go in whole or roughly chopped. It also says to peel citrus to avoid bitterness, remove pits from stone fruit and trim tough stems. Cleaning is by rinsing soon after use, with the brush for the strainer. Nama backs it with a 15-year warranty on all parts and does not mention dishwasher use.
Why we like it
- Small footprint for a self-feeding machine
- Light enough to store, at 9.7 pounds
- 15-year warranty on all parts
- Full specifications from the maker
Key specifications
| Model | J3 (black) |
|---|---|
| Feed style | Self-feeding hopper |
| Speed | 50 RPM |
| Motor | 130 W |
| Capacity | 8 to 16 oz of juice per load |
| Weight | 9.7 lb |
| Cleaning | Rinse parts, brush the strainer |
| Warranty | 15 years, all parts |
Why we recommend it
It suits one or two people with limited counter space who want the load-and-leave convenience of a hopper without the size of a full machine.
Skip it if you juice for a family, since the load size is built around one or two glasses.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Stores in a cabinet
- Hands-free for a glass or two
- Long warranty on all parts
Cons
- Small loads; top it up for more
- No dishwasher guidance from Nama
- Hopper volume is not given
4. Kuvings AUTO9 Cold Press Juicer – A Hopper That Cuts as It Feeds
Most hopper juicers rely on gravity and an auger. Kuvings adds a cutting step: its listing says the 2-liter Auto-Cut hopper slices and self-feeds produce into the press, so you load once and move on. If you dislike chopping, this is the feature to pay attention to.
The AUTO9 is the smaller sibling of the Kuvings AUTO10 in our main juicer guide. It presses at 60 RPM on a 200-watt motor, weighs 11.9 pounds and measures 7.6 by 8.9 by 18.3 inches, according to trade coverage of the launch. That report also gives 20 minutes of continuous running and two strainers, one for juice and a blank one for plant milks and sorbets.
Kuvings aims the juice at people who want it smooth, with low pulp and little foam. The company says simplified parts and the included cleaning tools make cleanup quick, and it states a 10-year assurance. Kuvings USA says there is no citrus attachment for it, so plan to use a separate citrus press.
Why we like it
- Auto-Cut hopper reduces chopping, per Kuvings
- Up to 20 minutes of continuous running reported
- Second strainer for sorbet and plant milks
- Detachable power cord
Key specifications
| Model | AUTO9 |
|---|---|
| Feed style | Self-feeding Auto-Cut hopper |
| Speed | 60 RPM |
| Motor | 200 W |
| Capacity | 2 L hopper |
| Weight | 11.9 lb |
| Cleaning | Detachable parts, cleaning tools included |
| Warranty | 10-year assurance |
Why we recommend it
It suits someone who wants the most hands-off start of any machine here and prefers a smooth, low-pulp glass.
Skip it if you want a thick, pulpy juice, because Kuvings tunes this one for a silky pour.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Least knife work of the group
- Stated 200-watt motor
- Sorbet and plant milk option
Cons
- 18.3 inches tall by reported size
- No citrus attachment
- New model with little independent reporting
5. Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer – Dishwasher-Safe Juice Parts
This is the silver listing of the same JC151 that appears in charcoal in our ginger juicer guide. It is here again because it is Ninja’s cold press model and it answers a different question on this page: which feed-style juicer can go straight in the dishwasher. Ninja says all juice-contact parts are dishwasher safe.
The 150-watt motor is built for torque, and Ninja names apples, carrots, celery and leafy greens among the produce it handles. Two interchangeable filters let you choose Less Pulp or Lots of Pulp, and the two one-touch programs are Start/Stop and Reverse, which helps clear a jam. An anti-drip lever lets you stop the flow and pour cleanly.
This is a feed-it-yourself machine, so you stay beside it and add produce as it runs. The box holds a 24-ounce juice jug and a 36-ounce pulp container, and the charcoal listing gives a size of about 12 by 7 by 16 inches, which Ninja says fits under kitchen cabinets. Ninja gives no RPM figure and a 1-year limited warranty.
Why we like it
- All juice-contact parts are dishwasher safe
- Two filters for less or more pulp
- Reverse program for jams
- Anti-drip lever for clean pours
Key specifications
| Model | JC151SL |
|---|---|
| Feed style | Feed-as-you-go |
| Speed | Not stated |
| Motor | 150 W |
| Capacity | 24 oz jug, 36 oz pulp container |
| Weight | Not stated |
| Cleaning | Juice-contact parts dishwasher safe |
| Warranty | 1 year limited |
Why we recommend it
It suits a cook who would rather load a dishwasher than brush a strainer, and who does not mind standing at the machine for a few minutes.
Skip it if you want to walk away during juicing, because this one needs feeding by hand.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Dishwasher-safe juice parts
- Pulp control from two filters
- Fits under cabinets, per Ninja
Cons
- Not self-feeding
- Short warranty compared with Hurom and Nama
- No stated speed
6. Tribest Shine Multi-Batch Juicer – Continuous Feed, Very Light
Tribest sells this small juicer under its Shine Kitchen Co. name. The listing calls it hands-free, and its hopper does let gravity do the feeding, but read the manual before you picture whole apples dropping in. Tribest says to cut fibrous produce into 1 to 2 inch pieces, so stringy fibers do not wrap around the auger, and to remove hard pits and seeds.
What you get in return is size. The manual gives 7.2 by 6.1 by 15.2 inches and 4.3 pounds, the lightest figure on this page, although one manual-hosting site lists 7.2 pounds. The motor is rated at 150 watts on US power. It can run up to 20 minutes, then needs 30 minutes of rest, and an overheat cut-off protects the motor. Its containers hold up to 23 ounces of juice and 20 ounces of pulp.
Cleaning is by hand: warm soapy water and the included brushes, straight after use. Tribest suggests running water through the hopper with the machine on to push out most of the pulp. It says not to feed ice, frozen fruit, or hard dried foods such as almonds.
Why we like it
- 4.3 pounds in the maker’s manual
- Quick Fill Top allows continuous feeding
- Water flush cuts cleanup time, per Tribest
- Reverse function to clear jams
Key specifications
| Model | SMB-1GY-A |
|---|---|
| Feed style | Gravity-fed hopper, continuous feed |
| Speed | Not stated |
| Motor | 150 W |
| Capacity | 23 oz juice, 20 oz pulp containers |
| Weight | 4.3 lb, per manual |
| Cleaning | Hand wash with brushes |
| Warranty | Not stated |
Why we recommend it
It suits small kitchens, travel and anyone who wants hopper feeding without the bulk, provided they do some cutting first.
Skip it if you want true whole-produce juicing, because the manual asks for small pieces of fibrous produce.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Very compact and light
- Clear maker manual
- Continuous feeding for a longer run
Cons
- Needs cutting despite the hands-free claim
- 20-minute run limit, 30-minute rest
- Warranty term not stated on the listing
7. Omega VRT350 Vertical Juicer – Dual-Stage Press, Long Warranty
The VRT350 is the traditional vertical press: you stand at it and feed produce down the chute, and it turns at 80 RPM. Omega says it works in two stages, first crushing the produce and then squeezing the pulp again before ejecting it, which the company says gives a higher yield and a very dry pulp.
There are three settings, On, Off and Reverse, so there is little to learn. A spec sheet lists a 150-watt motor, about 22 pounds and roughly 7 by 8.5 by 15.5 inches. That is heavy for a juicer, so plan on giving it a permanent spot on the counter rather than moving it in and out of a cabinet.
The listing states a 10-year warranty, although some resellers quote shorter terms, so check who is selling before you buy. This is an older design and it asks more of you than the hopper machines do, with produce fed by hand. If you are after a horizontal press, the Omega J8006 in our main juicer guide is the one to read about.
Why we like it
- Two-stage squeezing, per Omega
- Simple On, Off and Reverse controls
- 10-year warranty on the listing
- Vertical body takes little counter width
Key specifications
| Model | VRT350 |
|---|---|
| Feed style | Feed-as-you-go chute |
| Speed | 80 RPM |
| Motor | 150 W |
| Capacity | Not stated |
| Weight | About 22 lb |
| Cleaning | Not stated |
| Warranty | 10 years, per the listing |
Why we recommend it
It suits a patient juicer who wants a plain machine with a long-running layout and does not need to walk away during the run.
Skip it if you plan to store it between uses, because at about 22 pounds it is the heaviest juicer here.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Simple to run
- Long warranty on the listing
- Narrow footprint
Cons
- Heavy
- Hand feeding, so you stay with it
- Warranty terms vary by seller
8. nutribullet Slow Juicer – An Easy Way Into Cold Press
If you are not sure juicing will stick, this is the sensible way in. It is the simplest machine on this page, so judge its value by what you give up against the picks above: no hopper, a one-year warranty and a smaller container.
It is a compact vertical press with a 3-inch feed chute, a 150-watt motor at 65 RPM and a stainless steel-tipped auger with a stainless steel sieve. The rest of the body is plastic, according to the listing. A no-drip spout lets juice mix in the bowl until you are ready to pour, and it comes with a 24-ounce juice container, a pulp container, a screen-cleaning brush and a recipe guide.
nutribullet says the components are dishwasher safe, which puts it in the same camp as the Ninja for cleanup. Assembled, it measures 7 by 6.25 by 17 inches, so it is narrow but tall. It has a Reverse function for jams.
Why we like it
- Dishwasher-safe components
- 3-inch feed chute for larger pieces
- No-drip spout
- Compact vertical body
Key specifications
| Model | NBJ50300 |
|---|---|
| Feed style | Feed-as-you-go, 3 in chute |
| Speed | 65 RPM |
| Motor | 150 W |
| Capacity | 24 oz juice container |
| Weight | Not stated |
| Cleaning | Dishwasher-safe components |
| Warranty | 1 year limited |
Why we recommend it
It suits a first-time buyer who wants cold press juice and easy cleanup, and who is happy to feed it by hand.
Skip it if you want a machine for years of daily use, since the warranty is much shorter than Hurom’s or Nama’s.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Simple starting point for cold press
- Dishwasher-safe parts
- Takes little counter width
Cons
- Not self-feeding
- Plastic body
- One-year warranty
How to choose a cold press juicer for your kitchen
Decide between a hopper and a feed chute first. A self-feeding hopper holds your produce and draws it into the press while you do something else. A feed chute means standing at the machine and adding pieces yourself. Hoppers save your attention, but they are bigger, and loading order and cut size still matter. Read the manual, not just the listing: the Tribest is sold as hands-free, yet its maker asks for fibrous produce in 1 to 2 inch pieces.
Be realistic about cleaning. A juicer that is a chore to wash tends to end up in a cupboard. Three routes run through this list: the strainer-free chamber on the H70, the dishwasher-safe parts on the Ninja and the nutribullet, and a rinse followed by a brush on the rest. Whichever you choose, rinse straight after juicing, before pulp dries on.
Treat yield claims with care. Slow presses are generally said to squeeze more juice from the same produce than high-speed machines, but no maker here gives figures that can be compared with another’s. Yield changes with the produce, how fresh it is and how you load it. We have not measured it, so we do not rank these juicers on it.
Check height and weight against where it will live. Hopper machines stand tall. The Kuvings is reported at 18.3 inches and the nutribullet at 17 inches, so measure under your cabinets. If it will go in and out of a cupboard, weight matters too: 4.3 pounds for the Tribest is a very different job from about 22 pounds for the Omega.
Read the warranty as part of the value. Terms here run from 1 year to 15 years. If you juice daily, a long term from a maker that sells replacement parts can matter more than a lower up-front cost. Check which parts it covers and who the seller is, since some resellers quote shorter terms.
How we chose these eight juicers
We looked for cold press juicers from identifiable makers that were in stock on Amazon when this guide was written, and skipped the many Amazon-only brands selling near-identical machines. We then compared the makers’ own specifications, manuals and listings, along with trade coverage where a new model had little else. We left out centrifugal machines and the models already covered in our main and affordable juicer guides.
We did not run these juicers in our kitchen, and Julia’s is not claiming to use them. Where sources disagree, such as the H70’s speed, we say so, and where nobody states a figure we write “Not stated”. We also searched CPSC recall listings for each brand and found no recall of these models as of this writing.
Cold press juicer questions, answered
Is a cold press juicer better than a centrifugal juicer?
It is different. A cold press juicer works slowly and quietly, while a centrifugal machine is much faster and often takes bigger pieces. If speed comes first, our main juicer guide covers both types.
Which cold press juicer is easiest to clean?
Among these eight, the Hurom H70 has no mesh strainer, and the Ninja and nutribullet have dishwasher-safe parts. All of them are easier if you rinse the parts right after use.
What is the best cold press juicer for the money?
It depends on how often you will use it. For an occasional glass, the nutribullet is the low-commitment start. For daily use, a long warranty like the 15 years on the Hurom H330 and Nama J3 can make a bigger up-front cost easier to justify.
How long does cold press juice keep?
Makers differ. Hurom and Omega both say up to 72 hours in the fridge, while Tribest recommends drinking juice immediately for the best flavor and nutrition. We would keep it cold in a sealed jar and drink it soon.
Is homemade juice safe for everyone?
Homemade juice is not pasteurized. The FDA says untreated juice can contain harmful bacteria and names children, older adults, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems as being at higher risk. Wash produce under running water before juicing, and ask your doctor if you are in one of those groups.
Can a cold press juicer make aguas frescas?
Yes, as a base. Press the fruit, then thin it with water and a little sugar to taste, as in our guide to aguas frescas. For limes and oranges alone, a citrus juicer is quicker and simpler.
Our final word on cold press juicers
Buy the Hurom H330 if you want to load up and walk away, the Hurom H70 if cleanup has beaten you before, and the Nama J3 if space is short. Start with the nutribullet if you are still deciding whether juicing is for you.
