The best cold press juicer should be powerful, quiet, and relatively mess-free (and easy to clean). But you’ll also want to consider whether a machine is versatile enough for your needs. Some models are designed to do more than just make juice—they can also create smoothies, plant-based milk, and ai in retail like sorbet. Some have extra features like auto-feeding and automatic cleaning.

If you’re looking for a powerful but quiet masticating juicer, the Juicepresso Cold Press is the way to go. Its powerful motor can handle gnarly fruits and veggies and yields luscious juice with minimal froth and pulp. It’s very easy to use, with a simple one-touch button that lets you start, stop and reverse the process. It’s also a bit taller than some of the other models we tested, making it easier to fit whole produce into its larger chute.

Another very easy model to use is the Omega JC2022GY11. This machine packs a lot of power into a smaller, lighter frame, and it doesn’t require any prep before using because of its large hopper. It’s a little more expensive than some of the other cold-press juicers we tested, but it’s worth the extra money for its ease of operation.

If you’re on a tighter budget, the iTouchless High-Capacity Slow Juicer is an affordable option that still yields great-tasting juice. Its powerful motor can handle gnarly vegetables and fruits, and its auger rotates at low speeds to minimize froth and pulp. It’s also easy to assemble and clean, with clear marks on the pitcher and auger for slotting all the parts together.
