Juicers are a great way to get lots of juice out of a variety of fruits and veggies, but the best ones don’t just extract liquid—they make the process easier by running relatively quietly, cleaning up quickly and easily, and requiring minimal prep. If you’re willing to spend more, a good option is a multifunctional model that can handle additional tasks like making purees, sauces and even nut butter.

In our tests of the best cold press juicers, we looked for models that were easy to assemble and clean, operated quietly, required minimal prep, and produced high-quality, flavorful juice. We also considered whether they came with extras like a mesh strainer that allows for different amounts of pulp in juices, or larger strainers to create more viscous juices and sorbets, and if their parts were top-rack dishwasher-safe.

Compact and Powerful: The Best Cold Press Juicers for Small Spaces

The slow-juicing model that impressed us most on the test was the Hurom H-AA Slow Juicer. Its extraction power was unmatched in our tests, and it left very little dry pulp behind—meaning you can eat your juice right out of the machine. It’s a bit pricey, though, so it may not be practical for many budgets. For a less expensive alternative, the sleek Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer is another highly-rated model that’s super-quiet and easy to put together and take apart for cleaning. It’s not quite as versatile as the Omega, but it’s still a strong pick for serious green juicers.
