The Best Juicers Prove That “Fresh-Squeezed” Doesn’t Have to be a Hassle (2025)

When I was first assigned a story on the best juicers, I groaned. Until recently, my only experience with a juicer had been with a college friend’s years ago which 1) required a ton of work just to prep the fruit and 2) required a ton more work to clean the damn thing. To me, juicers were just a hassle—sticky countertops, clogged strainers, and a cleanup process that made me swear I’d just buy fresh juice from the store forever.

But then I wondered: Has juicing gotten any easier? Could the juice literally be worth the messy, sticky, pulp-y squeeze? Determined to find out and knowing I’d be a very tough judge of juicer quality, I accepted the assignment to find the best juicers. And I can confirm—we’ve made serious strides in modern juicing advancement. Today’s best models are way more efficient, easier to clean, and honestly kind of fun to use (especially when you have friends to share fresh juice with). Find the best juicers below.

Keeping in mind key factors like appliance size, price, juice yield, and ease of cleaning, we picked the top options to suit various needs. Check out our thoughts.

Best overall: Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer

What we love: ​The Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer has completely transformed my perspective on juicing. Like I said, I’ve had some rough run-ins with juicers in the past—the kind that take forever to set up and leave you with approximately three sad sips. So my bar was low. But the J2? Honestly, it blew me and my roommates away.

First of all, it’s quiet. Suspiciously quiet. I kept bracing for the screaming motor when I dropped in a full apple, but it just kind of… purred? Even when I loaded it up with hardcore ingredients (which are recommended to be layered on top of softer ingredients, by the way) like carrots, beets, and kale, it powered through almost silently. I tested it with basically everything we had in the fridge: oranges, spinach, ginger, pineapple, cucumbers, you name it. Soft fruits, leafy greens, chunky veggies—it handled them all so incredibly quietly.

I especially love the giant hopper, because I can throw in big chunks (no endless chopping!) and walk away while it juices. There’s a smaller hopper on the lid that allows you to continuously load fruits and veggies while it’s on, or you can pop off the whole lid off (the juicer will pause), reload, and let it pulse.

No matter what, the quality of the juice is impressive and leaves the juice completely pulp-free, even despite us loading in some hardy, fibrous greens. It comes out super smooth, fresh-tasting, and it doesn’t separate into weird layers like some juices do after a few minutes. And somehow, cleanup is… not a nightmare? The parts come apart easily and rinse clean fast; I cleaned a total of seven parts (hopper, lid, chamber, spinning brush, auger, and both juice containers) after finishing juicing. Nama says the parts aren’t dishwasher-safe; however, I did put some of my parts (the spinning brush and strainer) in the dishwasher for testing’s sake, and they came out just fine. The other parts I handwashed, which wasn’t as painful as other juicers I’ve used in the past. Even the pulp was easy to get out of the pulp spout (there’s a convenient hinge that flips open to let the hard-to-reach waste fall right out, so you don’t have to cram your fingers up there or try to snake through a brush).

TL;DR: If you’re someone who thought you hated juicers (hi, me) or just want a machine that’s ridiculously easy to use and insanely good at its job, the Nama J2 will change your mind about juicing for good, and even impress your friends.

What we’d leave: The Nama J2 Cold Press Juicer is not cheap. And while it feels worth the splurge, the $550 price tag still stings a little. If you’re deep into the juicing lifestyle or are dedicated to getting into it, then get this juicer. But if you’re someone who juices, say, a few times a year, I would look for a less expensive option. Also, none of the parts are technically dishwasher-safe. Hand-washing isn’t a dealbreaker, but at this price, I kind of expected more.

Best compact: Nutribullet Slow Juicer

What we love: If you’re looking for a high-quality juicer that won’t completely commandeer your countertop, I recommend the Nutribullet Slow Juicer. This thing is surprisingly compact for how well it performs. It’s the best pick if you’re short on space but big on wanting fresh juice.
