We updated this article in December 2022 to add more information about each featured product, based on extensive testing done by the Good Housekeeping Institute.

Starting your day with fresh-pressed juice packed with vitamins and nutrients sounds like a dream — but you'll need a good juicer to do it. Investing in a cold press juicer (a.k.a masticating or slow juicer) is worth it whether you're a fan of waking up with a hydrating cucumber green juice or prefer to end your day with a holiday cocktail made with fresh juices. And don't forget all of the immunity-boosting benefits of fresh fruit and vegetable juice, especially during cold and flu season. Experts say the slow juicing process of cold press juicers is more gentle on ingredients and retains more nutrients than other juicers, like centrifugal ones.

Shopping for a new cold press juicer can be tricky. Most have great features and strong claims, but how do they perform and how long do they actually take to clean? In the Good Housekeeping Kitchen Appliances and Culinary Innovation Lab, we test cold press juicers by juicing pulpy apples that have a wide diameter and oxidize quickly, floppy kale which can often jam machines and hard, fibrous carrots to evaluate each juicer based on performance, efficiency, taste and temperature. Out of over 50 juicers that we have tested over the past couple of decades, these are the best cold press juicers to buy in 2022.
