8 Best Cold Press Juicers of 2026

The TM-780SJ does the two things that make the Nama worth owning — a wide chute and a hopper big enough for a whole recipe — for a fraction of the money. The 6.5-inch chute swallows whole apples and a trimmed bunch of celery, and the 100-ounce hopper means you’re not standing there dropping in one carrot at a time. At 350W and 60 RPM it doesn’t feel strained.

Where it earns its place, though, is the strainer arrangement. One basket handles juice, nut milk and sorbet with no swapping mid-recipe, and there’s no mesh to scrub because the design doesn’t use any. That’s worth more day to day than an extra hundred watts, and it’s the reason we put this one first for anyone shopping to a budget.

The catch is the small plastic parts. The handle and the latch are what we’d treat gently, and the body is plastic throughout — that’s where the savings show. Set it up once, leave it assembled on the counter, and the fragility matters a lot less than it does for someone who packs it away after every use.

The JC151 is the machine that fits. At 7.15 inches wide and just under 16 inches tall, it slides under an upper cabinet in kitchens where a 17-inch juicer would be a permanent obstacle, and it weighs under eight pounds, so lifting it out of a cupboard isn’t a chore. If your counter is also your prep space, that shapes the whole decision.

It’s also the easiest of the group to deal with after the juice is made: the jug, pulp container and auger parts are dishwasher safe, and the two interchangeable pulp filters let you choose between a clear juice and something with body. The 150W motor is the least powerful here and it shows — the feed opening is narrow enough that apples and big carrots get cut down first, hard fruit can set off a squeal, and soft stringy things like mango are where the never-clog promise stops being true.

We still recommend it, because the parts you touch every day — the dishwasher-safe ones, the compact body, the pulp control — are the parts that decide whether a juicer gets used. It’s a starter machine that doesn’t behave like one, as long as you don’t expect it to eat a whole apple.

Ninety ounces of hopper is a serious amount of produce, and the C16’s 6-inch chute is wide enough that most of it goes in whole. Fill it once and the machine works through a family-sized batch while you rinse the next round of carrots — that’s the version of juicing this machine is built for, and it’s why it stays on the counter in a busy kitchen.

The 250W brushless motor turns the auger at 45 RPM, and Canoly quotes 35 dB. Treat a figure like that as a claim rather than a measurement; what matters is the design behind it, and a brushless motor at that speed is the calm end of this category by construction. Nothing about the C16 sounds like it’s straining.

Three strainers cover juice, sorbet and nut milk, and the detachable pulp outlet is the detail we appreciated most — it opens up so pulp doesn’t pack into a corner you can’t reach. Assembly is straightforward, though the main chamber needs a firm twist to seat, and at 12.6 pounds and 17.3 inches tall it’s a machine you lift carefully rather than tuck away.

What you’re paying for here is capacity and calm rather than cleverness. If you juice for a household and want it done in one load without waking anyone, the C16 makes that easy; if you juice a glass at a time, it’s more hopper than you need and the TUUMIIST above will do the same job for less.

A 6-inch chute with built-in cutting blades, a reversing auger and both a fine and a sorbet filter for the lowest outlay of any full-featured machine here — the ZM-1919 is the value argument in this guide. It’s 13.3 inches tall, short enough to live on a shelf between uses, and narrow enough that it doesn’t colonise the counter.

We like it for the everyday stuff. Carrots, celery, cucumber and apple go through at a steady clip, and the fine filter leaves the juice clean enough that we stopped reaching for a second strainer. The sorbet filter is the bonus that makes it earn its space — frozen banana and berries come out like soft-serve, which is the sort of thing that turns a juicer from an intention into a habit.

Two things to know before you buy. AMZCHEF says hand wash only, so there’s no dishwasher shortcut, and a big apple still wants halving whatever the chute measurement says — the blades inside do some of the work, not all of it. Neither is a dealbreaker at this end of the market; both are part of why it costs less than the machines above it.

Seven inches is the widest feed chute in this guide, and paired with a 120-ounce hopper it makes the 1080 the most hands-off machine here after the Nama. Whole apples, oranges and most of a celery bunch go in without a knife, and the hopper holds enough that you’re loading once instead of constantly. For a household that eats a lot of whole fruit, that’s the feature that matters.

At 350W and 60 RPM it handles the core job properly: the pulp comes out dry, the juice is clear, and the reverse switch clears a jam without dismantling anything. We also appreciated the safety lid that cuts the motor when it’s open — a small thing that matters in a house with children who like pressing buttons.

The trade is size and history. This is a 17-inch-tall, 13-inch-deep machine, so measure the gap under your cabinets before you commit; it’s also a newer design than the Nama or the Ninja, which is worth knowing if you like your appliances to have a long record behind them. But you’re buying the chute and the hopper, and nothing else here feeds produce as easily at this price.

A ten-year warranty on a kitchen appliance is unusual enough that it was the first thing we noticed about the Smoothpress. Most machines here list a single year, and Godspeeds is betting a decade on a 300W plastic-bodied juicer — whatever else you make of that, it says something about how the maker expects the parts to age.

The machine itself is a 6-inch-chute, 58 RPM slow juicer with a detachable toothed filter instead of a mesh basket, and that’s a design we liked: mesh is where pulp sets like concrete, while a toothed ring rinses clean under the tap in seconds. It’s also six inches wide, the narrowest body in this group, so it disappears onto a shelf that would never take a Nama.

Juice quality is where it’s strongest. Apples, carrots and celery come out with dry pulp and very little foam, and cleaning is three parts and a brush. The compromise is the 473 ml capacity: this is a two-glasses-at-a-time machine, and a family would be reloading it all morning.

So it suits someone who juices a glass or two a day, wants the machine to survive the decade, and won’t surrender a foot of counter to get there. If you’re feeding four people, the Canoly’s hopper is the better use of your space.

The 4.25-inch chute is the smallest here by a wide margin, which means apples get quartered and celery gets chopped — and that’s the whole trade with the F5000. What you get for the chopping is the least expensive machine in this guide, a genuinely compact body at 6.3 inches wide and 15 inches tall, and a simple one-piece assembly that goes back together without a diagram.

Within that limit it juices properly: carrot and beet go through without complaint, the 200W motor is quiet enough for an early start, and the lid cuts the motor the moment it’s opened, which is the safety feature we’d want on a cheap machine in a house with kids. The 1-liter juice container sizes it honestly — this is a one-person, one-glass juicer, and it’s good at being exactly that. If you’re juicing for two, spend a little more on the TUUMIIST instead.
