Sneak More Fruits and Veggies Into Your Diet With a Top-Rated Cold Press Juicer
We updated this article in April 2022 to ensure all pricing is accurate and all picks recommended by the Good Housekeeping Institute Kitchen Appliances and Culinary Innovation Lab are in stock.
If you're looking to pack more vitamins and nutrients into your diet, investing in a cold press juicer is well worth it for daily juice (and all its immunity-boosting benefits). Why a slow juicer (a.k.a. masticating juicer) in particular? Experts say the slow juicing process is more gentle on ingredients and retains more nutrients than other juicers, like centrifugal or citrus.
Shopping for a new cold press juicer is no easy task, which is why we test juicers in the Good Housekeeping Kitchen Appliances and Culinary Innovation Lab. When testing cold press juicers we evaluate performance and efficiency, scoring output, taste, temperature and texture. Out of the 12 cold press juicers we tested, these are the best cold press juicers to buy in 2022, according to both Good Housekeeping Institute Lab tests and best-sellers with lots of glowing reviews online:

For a cold press juicer that does just about everything you could ever want, look no further than the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer.

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, there is a specialized cleaning tool and two brushes which make cleanup easier. Kuvings also stands behind their product, offering a 10-year limited warranty.

$119.95
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.

H101 Easy Clean Slow Juicer
Hurom
amazon.com
$499.00
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: 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.
• Dimensions: 15.5 x 14 x 14 Inches
• Weight: 22.9 Pounds
• Feed Tube Diameter: 2 Inches
• Juice Pitcher Capacity: 16.9 Ounces

Celery and Greens Slow Juicer

$499.00
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 simple and although the feeding tube is a bit small (we found that slimmer items, like celery, fit easily, but larger items, like apples, needed to be cut into wedges). 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.

Two-Stage Cold Press Juicer
Pure Juicer
Pure Juicer
$2415.00
This pick is a large, pricey juicer made completely out of food-grade stainless steel that is incredibly heavy and durable. The left side has a system to grind produce into a superfine pulp and the right side features a 5,400 pound hydraulic press that presses every single drop of juice out of superfine pulp. In our recent Lab testing, it created apple, kale and carrot juice that had absolutely no sediment and tasted clean and sweet with incredibly vibrant color, very little foam and minimal, bone dry pulp.
While this style of cold press juicing is a little more involved than most juicers because of its two-step and somewhat manual process, once you get the hang of it, you are rewarded with silky, smooth juice — and plenty of it! All stainless steel parts are easy to clean by hand but are also dishwasher-safe and comes with a 12-year transferable warranty.
