Best Cold Press Juicers 2025
Vertical cold press juicers continue to dominate as the most popular type of masticating juicer. It’s time once again to explore what’s new and highlight the top-performing models.
In 2025 the juicing landscape continues to evolve, with innovative technologies and consumer preferences shaping the market. The most notable current trend in the juicing world is the rise of self-feeding batch juicers, designed to offer a ‘hands-free’ juicing experience while maximising efficiency and nutrient extraction. We now have a larger selection of these available as new models come to market, but as we consider the best self-feeding juicers, it’s important not to overlook dependable juicer types from previous years, which continue to offer equally excellent performance. Whether you’re a health enthusiast looking to incorporate more fresh juices into your diet or a busy individual seeking convenience without compromising quality, we hope that our comparison of the best fruit and vegetable juicers currently available will help you make a well informed decision.
To Batch or Not To Batch?
Thanks in large part to the global marketing initiatives of the Namawell brand, which advocates a holistic lifestyle centred around plant-based wellness, self-feeding ‘batch juicers’ have recently emerged as the most sought after type of cold press juicer. This latest juicing innovation features a spacious hopper at the top of the juicer, allowing you to load an entire recipe of ingredients at once, rather than adding them individually as is the case with traditional feed chutes. Once activated, a blade at the bottom of the hopper chops the ingredients for you and automatically directs them into the juicing chamber, freeing your hands for other tasks. This design minimises ingredient preparation and offers the opportunity for multitasking while the juicer operates autonomously.
It’s possible that some individuals are genuinely so busy that even a few extra minutes spent preparing their daily health juice feels like a significant burden. But for most of us, maybe we’re not quite that pressed for time that we need to go down the hands-free route? However, self-feeding juicers have certainly proved to be an extremely popular innovation in the juicer world. It’s important to note that in reality, any cold press juicer in our range can function as a ‘batch juicer’; they are all capable of processing an entire mixed juice recipe and they can all produce any size ‘batch’ of your preferred juice recipes for later consumption. The term ‘batch juicing’ simply refers to the ‘set it and forget it’ approach where the juicer does its thing unattended, once you’ve loaded a ‘batch’ of ingredients into the hopper.
Juicer Choices: Finding the Right Fit for Your Lifestyle
While the convenience of an automated juicer that allows you to multitask is undeniably appealing, it’s essential to weigh the true value of this feature against your budget and needs. High-end self-feeding cold press juicers come with a significant price tag, but they don’t yield any extra juice or nutrition than cold press juicers with standard feed chutes. Each juicing innovation has its pros and cons. Interestingly, the total time to produce a few litres of juice with a self-feeding model can actually be slightly longer, despite offering the freedom to attend to other tasks during the juicing process itself. And the dreaded clean-up takes about the same time as most juicers. (If clean-up is your worst nightmare, we actually have a few juicer choices that might be in your Goldilocks zone… read on).
When it comes to time spent on ingredient preparation, the time saving with a hopper-fed juicer may also be negligible. Large feed chute cold press juicers can accommodate bigger ingredients, even whole apples, eliminating the need for extensive chopping and bringing prep time down to similar levels to that of self-feeding types. Even with smaller feed chutes, the prep time for a decent batch of juicing ingredients is often just a minute or so. Opting for a premium quality standard feed chute model can significantly reduce your initial investment, while delivering comparable results in juice yield and juice quality. Ultimately, the best juicer for you will depend on your specific lifestyle, preferences, and budget. We recommend that premium manual feed cold press juicers should not be overlooked without proper consideration.
Our Selection Criteria
We look at a combination of the following five important factors to make what we believe to be an objective evaluation of the best models of cold press fruit and vegetable juicers:
- Juice quality
- Juice yield
- Ease of use
- Ease of cleaning
- Total time taken to juice
While we may express personal preferences based on aesthetic factors, these do not influence our ranking of juicers. Reliability is not a concern in our evaluations, as all the juicers on our list are built with exceptional engineering and durability. Motor noise levels are low and broadly similar in our cold press juicer choices. Given that they share technology from the best two factories in the world, you can also expect their efficiency to be virtually identical and the best that can be achieved.
In our 2025 winners list, we will organise the models in approximate ascending price bands, which allows us to group the top performers into three distinct types of vertical cold press juicer: standard feed chute, extra-large feed chute, and self-feeding hopper.
Best Standard Feed Chute Cold Press Juicers
Our premium standard feed cold press juicer choices provide a lower initial investment than the more recent types, without sacrificing juice quality or yield. These reliable juicers are designed to deliver years of exceptional performance. The only trade-off is a slight increase in ingredient preparation time, as you’ll need to chop items to fit into the chute.
All our standard feed chute examples use proprietary Hurom technology, so it largely comes down to which model you prefer the look of. Notably, the Sana 848 incorporates the Hurom easy clean auger assembly, significantly reducing cleaning time post-juicing, while still delivering an impressive juice yield with a slightly textured finish. Here are our top recommendations, presented in no particular order:
The Hurom H-AA – Unbeatable value meets exceptional juice yields, in an attractive slimline design.
The Omega VSJ843 – The eye catching sculpted profile and metallic silver or red finish will appeal to many. Juicing performance in the VSJ remains unbeatable.
The Sana 848 – With a smaller footprint, and deploying Hurom’s easy clean technology to speed up the part that nobody enjoys, the 848 strikes an elegant pose on any kitchen counter.
The Nama J1 – This model boasts premium metallic aesthetics and a diamond textured body, setting it apart from competitors, though it comes at a higher price point.
Best XL Feed Chute Cold Press Juicers
Our whole apple size feed chute models all utilise technology from the NUC (Kuvings) factory, with slight variations in features. These large feed chutes can mean even less ingredient prep than some of the hopper type models. Again, their origination from the Kuvings factory goes hand in hand with them achieving the best possible juicing performance.
The Kuvings Revo830 – The dual feed chute on the flagship 830 makes it easier and quicker to feed long items like celery, kale and carrot, while the flip gate lid takes whole apples and handfuls of other ingredients.
The Sana 868 – With a single large flip gate lid and premium accessories, the 868 is a stylish offering from European brand Sana, with a striking fluted motor body and excellent performance.
The Kuvings B8200 – Probably the best price-to-performance ratio of all the large feed chute models, and we love the look of the gunmetal colour.
Best Self-Feeding Cold Press Juicers
Our first three self-feeding cold press juicers are indistinguishable from each other in terms of outright performance, since they deploy the same juicing technology. Accessory levels vary, so headline price needs consideration, with the Sana 878 included accessories striking an ultra-premium tone. There’s a mention also of a fourth Hurom self-feeding model with a different, easy clean juicing mechanism.
We then have two examples of mini-hopper juicers which are great for the space-challenged juicing environment and can even be taken on holiday in your hand luggage. Like their larger cousins, they also deploy Hurom technology.
The Nama J2 – This extremely popular model really jump-started the global trend for self-feeding juicers and offers a variety of optional accessories. Eco-mindedness and plant-based nutrition are part of the brand ethos.
The Hurom H330P – Also featuring some eco-friendly credentials, this model comes with most accessories included in the price and we find it very visually appealing.
The Sana 878 – Not only do you get the accessories included, Sana’s own bespoke additions take the premium ethos to the next level, making it the best value example from the high-end large hopper models.
The Hurom H400 – The integral pulp catcher and hidden juice chamber give minimalist appeal to its profile, but the most user friendly aspect of the H400 is the scrub-free easy clean juice filter, which really cuts down on the cleaning faff.
The Nama J3 – With its bespoke, more powerful motor the J3 is the premium choice of mini cold press juicer for those needing a more compact self-feeding model.
The Hurom H310 – Weighing less than the Nama J3, this petite Hurom model is perhaps even more suited as a travel juicer, as well as having the easy clean juice filter that just rinses under the tap – bonus.
By choosing any of the exceptional juicers above, you can enjoy high-quality juice with minimal hassle, safe in the knowledge that your choice is selected from amongst the best performing cold press juicers on the planet.
