6 Best Cold Press Juicers to Buy in 2021
Shopping for a new juicer is no easy task, which is why in the Good Housekeeping Kitchen Appliances Lab, we test juicers to find the best ones that are actually worth your money. Out of the dozen cold press juicers we tested, these are the best cold press juicers to buy in 2021, according to both Good Housekeeping Institute Lab tests and best-sellers with lots of glowing reviews online.
1) AICOK Slow Masticating Juicer Extractor

This cold press juicer has earned more than 1,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, largely because reviewers say it's easy to assemble and disassemble, plus juice output is reportedly great, with limited pulp. You don't have to worry too much about noise, either — the noise level is under 60 decibels, according to the manufacturer, or the equivalent to the sound of a normal indoor conversation.
2) Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer

For a cold press juicer that does just about everything you could ever want, look no further than the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer. In tests, it earned near-perfect scores in ease of assembly, operation, and cleaning. It has a wide-mouthed feed tube, so your prep work doesn’t have to be quite so meticulous, but it still effectively liquifies thinner ingredients. The machine also includes an extra-fine mesh strainer if you want to eliminate more pulp before drinking, but our testers found it unnecessary. When it comes to cleaning, three included tools make things a breeze.
3) Omega Cold Press 365 Juicer
Omega
amazon.com
Omega is known for its juicers, both vertical and horizontal. This model is one of their newest and most affordable horizontal models that doesn't compromise performance. It's easy to set up with no instructions and was able to handle hard ingredients like carrots, softer ones like apple wedges, and stringy celery without jamming once; plus, it was also relatively quiet. Its on/off button is large and located on the top of the unit, unlike most that we've tested that are located in hard to see spots like the bottom back. Its juice pitcher is clearly marked and nests inside the pulp container for storage.
4) IKICH Masticating Juicer
IKICH
amazon.com
Those just dipping their toe into the world of cold press juicing may prefer to start with an entry-level model, like the budget-friendly IKICH. It's easy to assemble and disassemble, plus offers two masticating speeds, so you can get the hang of juicing different types of fruits and vegetables. The machine also comes complete with a very beginner-friendly manual that includes recipes, as well as a portable bottle for taking your juice to go. Despite the price, the machine is efficient.
5) Mueller Austria Juicer
Hurom
One of the biggest downsides to juicing is the cleanup — most models have metal mesh strainers that require diligent scrubbing after every use. But this cold press model is much easier to keep pristine, thanks to heavy-duty plastic strainers that have easy-to-clean large vertical grooves. Additionally, the machine has a tiled juicing chamber that spits out more juice, leaving less mess inside for wrangling later. What’s more, the pulp spout features a trap door that provides better access to interior parts, so you can tackle whatever is left with the included cleaning brushes.
That’s not all there is to love, though: In our Lab tests, this machine made some of the freshest-tasting green juice and testers loved the customization options, like how much pulp ends up in the finished product.
6) Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain
Hurom
This cold press juicer ticks a lot of boxes beyond its sleek aesthetic. It's relatively compact — great for preserving precious counter space — plus easy to assemble and disassemble, if you'd rather stash it. In tests, operation was overall very easy, too. Though the feeding tube isn't too large (slimmer items, like celery, fit easily, but larger items, like apples, need to be cut into wedges), it gets the job done well. The result is a smooth, fragrant juice that our tester said tasted "very pure." Cleaning is relatively simple, too, thanks to an included brush that fits into any nooks and crannies.
The easiest way to sneak more fruits and veggies into your diet.
