Tested & Approved

After rigorous testing, the Hurom H-AA Slow Juicer is our top pick. It's efficient yet quiet and is the perfect tool for serious juicers offering a high level of performance. For a less-expensive option, try the Omega 365 Cold Press Juicer, which packs a powerful punch in its motor, despite its lightweight construction.

If you are thinking about adding juice to your morning routine or simply prefer homemade juice to store-bought, a juicer is a smart addition to your kitchen.

While a conventional centrifugal juicer can process fruits and vegetables quickly, some studies suggest that masticating juicers may help retain more nutrients for certain fruits. Masticating juicers operate at a slower speed, so heat is kept to a minimum. Masticating juicers also have higher juice yields, the ability to handle leafy greens, and quiet operation. Some are even capable of processing ingredients beyond fruits and vegetables—say, if you wanted to make nut butter, non-dairy milk, ice cream, or even pasta.

There are a few things to consider before you buy a masticating juicer, however—like how much storage space is available in your kitchen, whether you're looking for any extra functions, and whether you're looking for something that's easy to clean. With that in mind, we tested some of the most popular, top-rated masticating juicers on the market. We sent some to our home testers, and the rest to our Lab, to take for a spin. They made various types of juices and evaluated the quality of pulp, consistency, and flavor. They also made observations on each juicer's design, ease of setup and cleaning, and more.

Based on our testers' feedback, here's our list of the best masticating juicers.

Hurom H-AA Slow Juicer Review

The flagship model by Hurom is a pleasure to look at, thanks to its clean lines and stylish finishes, but it also performs beautifully. With a speed of just 43 revolutions per minute (meant to mimic hand squeezing), this slow process ensures that your juice retains its nutrients and squeezes every drop from fruits and vegetables. You can tell by the dryness of the resulting pulp, according to our home tester.

This juicer is also incredibly quiet during operation, our lab testers observed while making green juice with the machine. It's also versatile: You can make traditional juices, various nut milks, or tofu. The machine features two separate strainers that let you select the amount of pulp you prefer.

Hurom’s footprint is fairly small, with a base that measures just nine inches wide and has a modern silhouette that looks great sitting on the counter when not in use. Though this model is on the pricier end, the motor has a generous 10-year warranty.

The only real qualms that our home and lab testers had with this product were that there were a bunch of included accessories to store (some more useful than others) and many parts to wash after use. While the cleaning process itself isn't particularly difficult, it does have a lot of small spaces that need attention (which is why it comes with both small and large bristle brushes). The parts are not dishwasher-safe and should not be cleaned with hot water or harsh or abrasive cleaners.

All in all, our testers concluded that this powerful machine is a solid juicer. "The pulp was barely damp, so I knew I was getting as much juice as possible," raved home tester Donna Currie. "If you're willing to spend a good amount of money, it's a decent choice," the lab testers agreed.

Good to Know

Hurom currently offers five other masticating models, some of which include features the H-AA does not, such as a self-feeding hopper, tofu press, citrus squeezer, stainless steel finish, and easy cleaning strainers (fine and/or coarse). Of note: Some don't have some of the features that the H-AA has, though, like the control lever, drying rack, and ice cream attachment. For people who have less space or are only making juice for a single household, the HP model is much smaller with a 350-milliliter capacity as compared to the larger 800-milliliter models.

Omega Cold Press 365 Juicer Review

Our home tester crowned the Omega 365 Juicer as being great for casual juice fans for a reason: While this budget-priced, compact machine doesn't have any extra attachments or features, the basic juicing function it does have is powerful, processing everything from kale to carrots. Because of its simplicity of function, intuitive design, and clear instruction manual, both our home and Lab testers found setup extremely quick and easy. "There were lots of labels on the boxes as you go to assemble the parts," one of the latter says.

In both our home and Lab tests, our testers noted that while some of the ingredients needed to be chopped or manipulated to fit into the small feed tube, average-sized carrots, celery stalks, and other similarly shaped items fit into the tube easily enough. Once the ingredients being pushed through are caught by the machine, they can pass through easily with no struggle. Furthermore, ingredients like leafy greens go through without a hitch. There is, however, one caveat from our home tester: Don't rush the feeding process. "When I tried to feed greens a little too fast, they tended to get hung up inside the feed tube as I tried to push them in with the included pusher," she explains.

The juices also came out well across the board, but because there is no foam separator nor an option to choose how pulpy you want your juice, you'll have less control over the consistency of the final product, depending on what type of juice it is. For instance, our home tester's juice had little body to it because of pulp, though it wasn't excessively pulpy. "When I wanted a clearer juice, I pulled out the trusty strainer again to capture more of the pulp and get a clearer juice," she says of her workaround.

Our lab testers also saw mixed results when it came to consistency. The carrot-orange juice, for instance, had a balanced flavor, but was very chunky, though it had no foam. The green juice, on the other hand, didn't have any pulp to speak of, and it actually turned out quite thin, but it had a nice flavor, they observed.

"This made one of the better green juices: it was on the thinner side but not watery, and it didn't have any noticeable pulp. The juice was well balanced, with a nice drinkability."

Omega 8006 Nutrition Center Masticating Juicer Review

If you're looking for the opposite of basic—that is, if you're looking for a machine that does more than juice—this nutrient extractor by Omega will have you covered. While it's not as slow as our best overall, with an average speed of 80 RPM, it still has what you want in a good-quality slow juicer: It's still slow enough to preserve all of the good nutrients without sacrificing the taste.  In fact, "all the juice I prepared tasted so good, I drank it on the spot," our home tester says.

Its motor is powerful but quiet, making easy work of both hard and soft fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens. It also produced very dry pulp for both our home and Lab testers, which was "very impressive," according to one of the latter. This is due to the machine's unique dual-extraction process, meaning that it extracts juice both during the crushing process and then from the pulp.

What really helps this masticating juicer stand out from the competition, however, is its versatility. Yes, you can juice anything from citrus fruits to wheatgrass, but thanks to its included attachments, you’ll also be able to use the Omega Ultimate Juicer for extruding pasta, as well as for making nut butter and nut milks, baby food, sorbet, and more. Yes, it has a large footprint—it measures about 15 inches wide and weighs 20 pounds—but if you have the space and are serious about looking for a multi-purpose, high-quality juicer, this is worth the investment.

Our home tester loved the freshness of the final results as well as the dryness of the pulp. "We knew the Omega was extracting the maximum amount of liquid it could when we felt how dry the pulp was," she notes. But our Lab testers had a different experience, which we're including here as one of the potential downsides of this machine. All three juices they made had a chunky, "purée-like" consistency, though they offered a balanced flavor.

"If you want to spend the big bucks, this is a great option," our Lab testers raved after putting the Nama J2 through its paces. One of the biggest reasons why is how little hands-on work they had to put in to produce quality juice and bone-dry pulp.

That's not the only highlight. Our Lab testers also found assembly to be super-simple, thanks to pieces that required minimal twisting and merely needed to be popped into place. They were also able to preload the feeding basket before starting the machine—something that was unique to the Nama. That means you can prep for another recipe, do your chores, or even make coffee, as one reviewer says.

The juices didn't disappoint, either. Both the carrot-orange juice and the green juice had very minimal foam and pulp, very smooth texture, and balanced flavor. The strawberry-pineapple juice was quite pulpy but had a pleasant, smoothie-like texture. All required very minimal manipulation of the produce, which caused one of our Lab testers to rave that it was a "lovely experience."

Efficient is the best way to describe this juicer from Tribest—the Slowstar Vertical Slow Juicer comes with the Duoblade double-edged auger that does twice the work of a typical single-auger machine. Operating at the ultra-slow speed of 47 RPM, this quiet juicer generates virtually zero heat, extracting juice that is not only full of nutrition and flavor but also will keep fresh for up to three days.

The BPA-free auger is made of Ultem, so it’s incredibly tough, compared to cheaper plastic models. This model also comes with a mincing attachment that converts the machine into a multi-purpose tool you can use to make pesto, frozen fruit sorbets, nut butter, and more. The juicing body comes apart for easy cleaning (hand-washing is recommended) with the only slight difficulty being debris-removal from the screen. Tribest backs this machine with a 10-year warranty, so you can be confident that the price point is well worth it.

Tribest makes one other vertical-style masticating juicer under the brand name Shine Kitchen Co. It's smaller (5.5 x 5.25 inches), simpler, and nearly $200 cheaper, with a low 35 RPMs and 200 watts, allowing for up to 10 minutes of continuous juicing daily.

While hand-crank machines are the most common for juicing wheatgrass, you can also opt for a more versatile appliance like the Greenstar Elite. Rouse likes horizontal juicers for extracting juice from greens like wheatgrass and speaks highly of Tribest units, which he says are well-made and come with great customer service.

Tribest makes this horizontal juicer that features “complete mastication”: While many juicers rely only on a crushing action, the Greenstar’s twin gear, double-auger design was made to crush, cut, and grind. These three steps allow for trouble-free processing and will help prevent pulp or fibers from tangling around the gears. The Greenstar Elite also allows you to adjust the juicing pressure according to what produce you’re using—just use higher pressure when processing wheatgrass to best preserve its chlorophyll and other nutrients.

Cleaning the Greenstar Elite requires hand-washing, as it is not dishwasher-safe, but it comes with a cleaning brush and scraper to aid in removing debris. Like other horizontal juicers, it takes up a bit of space (more than 18 inches in width) and weighs about 18 pounds—moderately heavy but not impossible to pick up and store under the counter. Overall, it is a durable and top-performing machine backed by a 12-year warranty for household use.

Tribest makes three additional horizontal-style masticating juicers. All are basically the same size and use the same wattage, but they vary aesthetically and include certain features that others do not, like a safety feeding chute lid, strainer, and bread stick and pasta maker set. Most of these add-ons are available for purchase if not included with the juicer itself.

Body Style: Horizontal | Speed: 110 RPMs | Construction: Plastic | Dimensions: 18.6 x 6.8 x 12.4 inches | Power: 200 watts | Warranty: 12 years

Lab Test Takeaway

"The juice was a little lower in yield than some others and had some of the highest-yielding foam, but the juice itself was a great texture and wonderful flavor."

Final Verdict

The Hurom H-AA Slow Juicer is our top pick, thanks to its outstanding performance. It operates at an ultra-slow speed of 43 revolutions per minute and produces high juice yields with very dry pulp. If you don't want to spend a ton on a masticating-style juicer, we recommend giving the Omega 365 Cold Press Juicer a try. It's affordably priced and a breeze to assemble and clean.

How We Tested

We tested a grand total of 19 juicers our Lab. Our testers made three types of juices with each juicer, including a carrot juice and a green juice. They noted how much the produce had to be pre-cut or manipulated, whether anything got stuck and needed some elbow grease to move through the machine, and how long the juicing process took. The testers also measured how much juice was extracted, how dry the pulp was, and how leaky or messy it was. They also took note of how easy it was to assemble, take apart, and clean.

Lastly, we had our Lab testers evaluate each masticating juicer's ease of use, durability, performance, design, versatility, quality of juice, ease of cleaning, and overall value. We also sent several cold press juicers to our home testers to evaluate under the same criteria.

Others We Tested

Jocuu Slow Masticator Juicer Extractor: The Jocuu's performance impressed our Lab testers for several reasons: It's affordable, looks great on the counter, and feels sturdy and well made despite being so lightweight. "[I also like the] soft and hard buttons, and the spout pours neatly. There are nice measuring markings on the juice container," one of our Lab testers says. It also has two speeds to accommodate various types of produce, as well as a reverse function. One of its downsides, though, is that its narrow chute meant taking a relatively longer amount of time to prep fruits and vegetables, and even small pieces had to be forced a bit into the opening. Still, the juices ended up "quite good," the testers say.

What to Look for in a Masticating Juicer

Vertical or Horizontal

Masticating juicers come in two basic body styles—vertical and horizontal. The horizontal units are slightly more efficient, because the food is fed directly into the auger, but as the technology has gotten better, the difference may not be noticeable to the average user. Horizontal units take up more counter space, but vertical units might be too tall to fit under kitchen cabinets.

“Personally, for home use, I like masticating juicers with vertical augers," says Rouse.  "They take up less space."

Chute Size

A larger chute will let you add larger pieces of fruits or vegetables to the juicer, so there’s less prep work before juicing. However, larger chutes can be dangerous for curious children. Smaller chutes are safer, but you’ll be cutting your food to smaller sizes to make it fit.

Extra Functions

Most juicers have just one function—turning fruits and vegetables into juice and pulp. However, some have additional functions, making them more versatile. If you know you’ll be juicing regularly, the extra functions might not be of interest, and they would just add and extra attachments and cost to keep track of. But if you're interested in also processing foods like nuts and seeds, or making homemade ice cream, some machines will do.

The Spruce Eats / Fred Hardy

Cleaning Tip

Reduce cleaning time by lining your pulp receptacle, Rouse says. For an eco-friendly option, use a biodegradable/compostable bag. If your machine has pieces that can go in the dishwasher, place them in there, but don't let debris dry, as it will be difficult to remove.

FAQs

How does a masticating juicer work?

A masticating juicer, also known as a "cold press juicer" or "slow juicer," functions by crushing and pressing ingredients via a slow-rotating auger, which looks like a screw, instead of blades. The juice is then pushed out of a tiny hole (or many tiny holes) into a container, while the pulp is pushed out of a larger opening into a separate container. Because of the slow pace, this process extracts the highest amount of juice with the best possible taste and texture, retaining most of the nutrients for certain fruits, and leaving bone-dry pulp. It's done quietly, too, so early risers can get their morning cup without disturbing late sleepers.

What is the difference between centrifugal and masticating juicers?

In place of the slow-rotating auger, centrifugal juicers have uber-fast spinning blades. This process is quick but loud, and the fast spinning may create heat that could destroy certain nutrients for certain fruits. While that isn't always the case, a masticating juicer ensures the quality of the juice (and a full extraction) by crushing and pressing instead of shredding.

Centrifugal juicers also tend to introduce oxygen, creating slight discoloration and a shorter shelf life (about 24 hours in an airtight container in the fridge). That happens at a much lower level with masticating juicers, allowing for more vibrant juice that lasts longer (up to 72 hours). Centrifugal juicers are usually less expensive, easier to clean, and best for hard fruits and vegetables, but masticating juicers can juice almost anything, including leafy greens and soft fruits, and they will give you the best-tasting, highest-quality yield.

Storage Tip

Most juice tastes best when consumed right away, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for two to three days. Sharon Lehman, RD, recommends filling storage containers so minimal air will come into contact with the juice, since the flavor and nutrition can be impacted the longer you store it: It's common for fresh fruit and vegetable juice to taste less fresh with duller flavors with exposure to air.

How do you clean a masticating juicer?

If you're making multiple different recipes in one sitting, taking apart your juicer piece by piece might not seem like the most convenient way to wash it down before moving on to the next batch. Some models allow you to simply run water through the juicer to rinse-clean. Once you're finished for the day, it's best to then carefully take apart your machinery to wash it with soap and warm water thoroughly, using a bristled brush to scrub any buildup and hard-to-reach crevices, so grody gunk from previous uses won't get into your next yield.

For even easier cleanup, find out whether the parts to your juicer are dishwasher-safe by checking the owner's manual or manufacturer's website. You'll also be able to find out whether your product is sensitive to high temperatures or harsh or abrasive cleaners.

What Is a Masticating Juicer?

If you’re hoping to make healthy drinks at home, you need a masticating juicer, also called a slow juicer or cold-press juicer. The word masticating literally means “to grind or crush food with or as if with teeth,” and that’s exactly what these countertop appliances do! They have an auger inside that slowly crushes and chews up produce, forcing the pulp against a strainer to push all that delicious juice out into your cup.

Wonder why they’re also called slow juicers? Masticating juicers operate much slower than centrifugal juicers, typically turning the auger only 40 to 100 times per minute. Not only does this slow speed allow them to extract as much juice as possible, but it prevents the machine from heating up, which helps to preserve the nutrients from the produce. It also results in less foam on top of your drink. Slow juicers work well on both hard and soft fruits and vegetables, and they’re often quieter than centrifugal juicers, as well.

Of course, this style of juicer isn’t without its drawbacks. People do find that masticating juicers take longer to process juice and are more expensive than centrifugal-style juicers.

Freshly squeezed juice is a storehouse of vitamins and minerals needed by our body. It is healthier and tastier than packaged, but constantly buying it in stores, fresh bars, cafes or restaurants is quite expensive. In addition, it is recommended to drink freshly squeezed juices within 5-10 minutes after preparation. Therefore, if you care about your health and decide to drink freshly squeezed juices more often, get a juicer.

So, when choosing a juicer for your home, in my opinion, you should pay attention to the following main points:

1. Type of juicer

2. Size and compactness of the juicer

3. Power

4. Width of the fruits, vegetables or berries

5. How easy it is to wash

6. Additional nozzles/functions

7. Materials from which the juicer is made

    Now about everything in more detail.

    Juicer type

    First of all, decide which fruits, vegetables or berries you want to juice. This will determine what type of juicer you need. Juicers are for citrus and universal. And universal, in turn, are divided into centrifugal, or centrifugal, and screw.

    Citrus Juicers

    Designed to juice oranges, grapefruits, tangerines, lemons, limes and other citrus fruits. There are very simple - manual, as well as electric. They are a cone-shaped nozzle with fruit ribs, a juice tank and a motor (in the case of electric juicers). Manual ones are cheaper, but when using them, you have to apply force to get juice. Electric ones are a little more expensive, but more convenient. nine0007

    Universal Centrifugal Juicers

    Suitable for quick preparation of freshly squeezed juice from most fruits, vegetables and berries. Ideal for juicing with little or no pulp.

    In centrifugal juicers, the fruits are crushed at high speed using a special grater, and then they fall into a separator that separates the juice and pulp (cake). At the same time, the juice enters a special jug, and the pulp enters the container for the cake. nine0007

    The separator (grid) is in the form of a cylinder or a truncated cone. Juicers with a cylindrical separator can make more juice, but they accumulate all the pulp on the grid - it must be cleaned manually after making 2-3 glasses of juice, which is quite laborious. Truncated mesh juicers are more popular and can make over a liter of juice in one go without having to dismantle and clean the juicer.

    Universal Auger Juicers

    Suitable for juicing with pulp from fruits, vegetables, berries, but also herbs and even nuts - you can easily make nut milk. Such juice contains more fiber, so it can no longer be called just a refreshing drink, it is more nutritious. The speed of juicing with the auger juicer is lower than with a centrifugal one, and due to this, the auger is quieter.

    In auger juicers, fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs are first crushed, and then with the help of a press - auger - the juice from these smaller parts is squeezed out to the last drop.

    Fruits and vegetables must be cut beforehand.

    The size and compactness of the juicer

    If you have a large family, many friends who often come to visit for a glass or two of healthy fresh juice, a beautiful garden that pleases with a plentiful harvest, you harvest juice for the winter, then you need to choose a high-performance centrifugal juicer that allows you to make, for example, up to 2.5 liters of juice at one time (in the case of centrifugal ones). Such a juicer will have a large jug for juice and a capacious container for cake. nine0007

    If you have a medium-sized family or if you make juice from time to time in relatively large quantities, then choose a medium juicer. It is more compact, but it has a juice jug and a medium-sized pulp container.

    If you have a small child, elderly parents, you lead a healthy lifestyle and prefer to make freshly squeezed juice in small quantities, but every day, then the ideal choice for you is a compact juicer. It is small, takes up minimal space in the kitchen, but it can fully satisfy your need for a daily portion of juice. The kit of such a juicer may include a special spout that allows you to prepare juice directly into a glass. nine0007

    If you don't have the biggest kitchen but still want to make a lot of juice, choose more compact models even for large or medium juicers. For example, there are juicers with a built-in pulp container - such a juicer takes up much less space, it is easier to disassemble, assemble and wash.

    Auger juicers are available with vertical or horizontal auger. A juicer with a vertical auger can take up a small area on the table, but you need to attach a container for juice (a glass or a jug) to it on one side, and a container for cake on the other. Plus, such a juicer can be quite high. nine0007

    The horizontal auger juicer takes up less space in height and can be narrow enough to fit comfortably in a storage cupboard or work surface. In such a juicer, the pulp container is located inside, which is also more convenient in terms of ergonomics.

    Juicer power

    The power of citrus juicers is usually between 20 and 250 watts. Citrus fruits are quite soft fruits, and therefore a particularly high power is not required to extract juice from them. nine0007

    The power of screw juicers is also not very high - 150 - 350 W, since high power is not needed for the principle of operation of such juicers.

    Power plays the most important role when choosing a centrifugal juicer - the higher the power, the faster the juicer makes juice, the higher the quality of the extraction and the harder fruits and vegetables you can use. The power of centrifugal juicers ranges from 250W to 1200W and above. Also look at the ratio of power and size of the juicer - you should not expect super power of 1000 W from a compact model with a height of 30-35 cm, but a large juicer of low power is unlikely to live up to your expectations. nine0007

    Fruit, vegetable or berry feeding chamber width

    This parameter is relevant for universal juicers.

    Auger juicers tend to have a narrow feed chamber. When using such juicers, fruits and vegetables must first be cut, but this is due to the principle of their work.

    If you need a centrifugal (centrifugal) juicer for large or medium amounts of juice, then choose a model with a wide fruit or vegetable feed chamber (70-80 mm). It holds a whole apple or beet, a celery bush, a few carrots or cucumbers - in general, with it you will save time and effort. nine0007

    Compact centrifugal juicers may not have as wide a feed chamber. This is due to the features of the compact design. But since with a compact juicer you are going to make juice in a small amount at a time, but at the same time quickly and directly into a glass, there is nothing wrong with cutting a couple of fruits or vegetables, in my opinion.

    How easy is the juicer to clean

    Many people avoid juicers because, by all accounts, they are quite difficult to clean. It is good when removable parts can be washed in the dishwasher. At the same time, the mesh must still be pre-cleaned of fruit and vegetable fibers beforehand. nine0007

    But technology does not stand still, and you can buy an excellent model that can be washed in just 1 minute! For example, there are inverted mesh centrifugal juicers with smooth surfaces and a built-in pulp container. The kit of such juicers does not even include brushes for cleaning, because there are practically no fibers of fruits and vegetables on the smooth mesh, and it can be washed even with a soft sponge in cold water.

    The built-in pulp container is also generally easier to clean. And a nice bonus - thanks to this design, the juicer is easy to disassemble, assemble and store. nine0007

    There are also auger juicers that can be washed in 1 minute. Instead of the usual mesh, such a juicer has filters that are washed in just seconds - because the fibers of fruits and vegetables do not get stuck in them. Due to this, as well as the smooth surfaces of other parts, the juicer is easy and very quick to clean!

    Also available with pre-cleaner, both centrifugal and auger:

    Centrifugal Juicers . Thanks to a special pusher with holes, the juicer with this function can be washed from the fibers of fruits and vegetables without dismantling it, which makes cleaning even easier or allows you to make successive different types of juice. But such juicers are usually suitable for making large amounts of juice, which means they are not suitable for those who are looking for a compact model.

    Auger Juicers . The auger juicer has such a function that when a special button is pressed after the juice has been prepared, the auger rotates in the opposite direction: juice is squeezed out of the fruits remaining in the chamber, the cake is sent to a special container, and the chamber itself becomes cleaner and easier to wash.

    Additional attachments/functions

    They can be a nice addition and make it easier to use. For example, there are juicers with a special function for preparing clear juice or with a small amount of pulp - this is convenient if your family likes juice of different consistency. nine0007

    With berry attachment for grapes, blueberries, cranberries, etc. will not run away from you on the table, but will immediately fall into the feed chamber.

    With a special straight spout, it is very convenient to make juice directly into the glass.

    Juicer materials

    It is important that the juicer is made of high quality, durable material so that there is no foreign smell.

    Carrots tend to stain light plastic, so if you like carrot juice, choose dark plastic or metal. nine0007

    In the case of a centrifugal juicer, it is important that the mesh is made of stainless steel - it oxidizes less and the juicer will last longer.

    Also pay attention to whether the juicer you like has rubber feet or suction cups - this is especially important for a centrifugal juicer so that it does not “jump around the table” when making juice from especially hard fruits and vegetables.

    So, after reading the recommendations above, you can decide which juicer is best for you. nine0007

    Suitable juicer for citrus fruits. If you like freshly squeezed juice without pulp and want to make it quickly, the best juicers for you are centrifugal, or centrifugal. For fans of juice with pulp, an auger juicer is ideal.

    Look at the power, the size of the machine itself and the feed chamber, the compactness and ease of cleaning, the materials and additional features and make your own juicer rating.
