The Best Juicers of 2025, Tested and Reviewed

✔️ Ninja JC101 Cold Press Pro Juicer: This affordable compact horizontal cold press juicer produced carrot and apple juice that tasted sweet and stayed under 70˚F. We like that you can start, stop and reverse with the touch of one button. The smaller feed means you have to cut fruits and veggies into smaller pieces, though. The juicer is also currently out of stock.

✔️ Cuisinart CSJ-300 Easy Clean Slow Juicer: Cuisinart's Easy Clean Slow Juicer lives up to its name: There is no pulp strainer, which is a part that can be tedious to clean. It's also simple to set up, making it a good choice for beginners. The vertical cold press juicer produced juice that was bright and sweet. But note that we found it easier to feed when we cut apples in half, and it produced a quarter-inch layer of foam but does not include a foam strainer.

✔️ Pure Juicer Two-Stage Juicer: It offers 5,400 pounds of hydraulic pressure to force every last drop of juice from your fruits and veggies, as evidenced by the bone-dry pulp. And the resulting juice tasted very sweet and clean. But it costs more than $2,000, and the process requires two steps: You must grind the food into a cloth liner and then press those grounds.

✔️ Price: Cold-press or masticating juicers tend to be more expensive than their centrifugal counterparts because their machinery usually has more parts and is a little more involved to ensure that juice doesn't get heated during the juicing operation. While there are some affordable options, expect to spend a couple hundred dollars to get a juicer that’s designed to last — and make good juice. Conveniently, most cold-press juicers on this list have a long warranty as well.

✔️ Size of feed tube: The larger the tube, the less prep work — i.e., chopping — you’ll have to do. Some juicers, like the Nutribullet Slow Masticating Juicer Machine, have a tube with one section that's large enough for an entire apple and another section that's designed to accommodate thin items like celery and kale for maximum efficiency. Juicers like the Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer are self-feeding: You put all your fruits and veggies in a large hopper at once, and the juicer handles them automatically.

✔️ Style of feed tube: There are two methods of feeding in your fruits and veggies: vertical and horizontal. With a vertical juicer, you feed ingredients at the top, and juice is collected at the bottom. With a horizontal juicer, you feed fruits and vegetables into the left side, and juice is extracted from the right. Vertical juicers typically have fewer pieces and a more intuitive design, making setup, juicing and cleanup a bit simpler than horizontal models.

✔️ Accessories: Some juicers come with different-sized strainers that allow for different amounts of pulp in juices and smoothies. A very fine strainer would reduce the amount of pulp for a silky smooth finish while a strainer with larger holes will allow some pulp to go through giving a more viscous juice with added fiber. Some juicers can be used to make sauces, purees, nut butter and sorbets, depending on the variety of strainers provided. If you choose a machine with these types of accessories, look for included cleaning brushes to keep things sanitary.

✔️ Power: It's worth considering the wattage for centrifugal juicers, particularly if you intend to juice tougher items like celery or greens. Look for models 1,000 watts or greater to juice hearty ingredients. Weaker motors may stop working mid-juice because they could get overheated and need to cool down. When it comes to masticating juicers, the force that is exerted is more important than the wattage (which tends to be low), since fruits and veggies are crushed and pressed to separate the juice from the pulp.

✔️ Ease of cleaning: Juicers, by design, have numerous parts, and they can be cumbersome to clean. Look for models with dishwasher-safe parts and models that come with cleaning brushes to ensure that you don’t spend more time cleaning than juicing.

✔️ Warranty: Juicers are pricey appliances, so it’s worth checking warranty information to ensure you’ll be satisfied for years to come.

✔️ Centrifugal juicers juice faster than slow juicers. Whole ingredients are typically dropped into the wider feed tube and pulverized at a very high speed. For example, in our leafy greens test, 100 grams of kale juiced in as quickly as 7 seconds in a centrifugal juicer, while it took upwards of 1 minute in the slow juicers. The juice from centrifugal juicers tends to come out a little foamy but most come with lidded pitchers and built-in strainers to eliminate the foam.

✔️ Slow juicers, or masticating juicers, typically have a narrow vertical chute that guides ingredients into a chamber where they are pressed by a rotating auger. The fresh juice is squeezed through a strainer and into a pitcher, while the pulp is dispensed from a second spout. The process is a little slow — it’s called a slow juicer for a reason! — but the slow, gentle process is believed to preserve nutrients better than high-speed juicers that generate heat, which can affect the taste of the final product. Masticating juicers tend to be more expensive than centrifugal juicers.

1. Toss as much of the pulp as possible into your compost bin or trash can before washing to avoid clogging your sink.
2. Then, wash the pulp container and juice collecting cup by hand (or in the dishwasher if they're dishwasher safe, but note that some pulp and sugars will stick if you aren't planning to run the dishwasher promptly).
3. Rinse other parts (like the auger and lid). If they need a deeper clean, soak them in warm, soapy water first.
4. Use a stiff-bristled brush to clean the strainer to remove as much residue as possible.
5. Opt for a bottle brush to get into any crevices.
6. Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling.
