Best Cold Press Juicers: Ninja NeverClog Leads

The best budget cold press juicer for most kitchens is the Ninja NeverClog JC151, a 150-watt masticating machine that weighs 7.93 lb and stands 15.93 in tall. If you want to drop whole apples in without slicing them first, the EanOruus 3-in-1 with its 6.5-inch chute and 100oz hopper is the better buy. What splits this field is not motor wattage. It's the width of the hole you feed produce into, because that number decides how much knife work you do every single morning.

Best budget cold press juicer at a glance

How I cut this field down to five

Three things knocked machines out before I compared a single specification.

The first was centrifugal design dressed up in cold press language. A high-speed spinning basket is a different appliance with a different pulp texture, and half the listings using the words "slow juicer" in their titles were not masticating at all. Everything left here sits in the single-auger masticating category.

The second was listings with no published dimensions. A juicer is a counter-hogging object, and a shopper measuring the gap under a wall cabinet cannot work with a marketing photo. All five picks publish a full length, width and height.

The third was duplicate hardware. Several white-label machines share an identical body, an identical 6.5-inch chute claim and an identical 100oz hopper claim under three different brand names. I kept one representative of that pattern rather than filling half the table with the same casting.

What survived is five machines that differ in ways you can actually feel: 7.93 lb versus 12.1 lb, a 24oz jug versus a 120oz hopper claim, a 4.3-inch chute versus a 7-inch chute. I compared the published specifications side by side and ranked on how those figures land in a real kitchen, not on which listing shouted loudest.

Does a budget cold press juicer really exist?

Here's the honest answer, and it's the reason this section exists rather than a cheerful yes.

"Budget" is not a specification. Amazon's search does not filter on it, and none of these five listings publishes a claim about being inexpensive. What I can tell you is where each machine sits relative to the other four in this set, which is a different and more useful thing. The SMALLHOO is the cheapest of the five. The Anybear is the second-cheapest. The Ninja and the EanOruus are the two most expensive here, with the EanOruus taking the top spot.

So when you shop a best budget cold press juicer search, the real question is what you give up at the bottom of a set like this one. In this group, it's published data. The two cheapest machines here list no weight and no warranty. The two most expensive both publish a 1 Year Limited Warranty. That is a genuine trade you are making, and it's the kind of gap the listing page will not point out to you.

My advice: decide your chute width and your cabinet clearance first, then buy the least expensive machine that clears both. Cheapest overall and cheapest that fits are rarely the same product.

Chute width: 4.3 in, 6.5 in or 7 in?

This is the specification that changes your morning, and it's the one most guides bury under wattage.

Chute width decides prep. A narrow feed tube means you quarter apples, halve carrots and trim celery into sticks before anything goes in. A wide one means you drop produce in more or less as it came out of the bag. Over a year of daily juicing, that difference is measured in hours of knife work, not seconds.

Here's how the five sort out:

1. 7 in (SMALLHOO, claimed). The widest here. The listing says it fits unpeeled and cored whole fruits.
2. 6.5 in (TUUMIIST, EanOruus). TUUMIIST publishes 6.5" as a listed size and says whole apples and celery go straight in. EanOruus makes the same 6.5-inch claim in its feature text.
3. 4.3 in (Anybear, claimed). Roughly a third narrower than the widest pick. Anybear calls it a "big mouth" chute, and against a standard juicer it is generous. Against this set it is the tightest.
4. Not stated (Ninja). The JC151 listing does not publish a chute measurement, which tells you it is not the number Ninja wants to compete on.

The trap is assuming wide always wins. A wide chute sits on top of a wide body, and the three widest-chute picks here are also the three deepest machines. If you juice mostly leafy greens, celery and carrots, chute width barely matters, and you're paying counter space for a feature you won't use.

1. Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer — Best overall

The most compact machine here and the one buyers choose most often in this set, with a published warranty behind it.

Best for: small kitchens that need a compact machine with a published warranty Skip it if: you want to drop whole apples in without cutting

At 7.93 lb, the JC151 is the lightest of the five, and it is more than 4 lb lighter than the EanOruus. That matters more than it sounds. A juicer you can lift with one hand gets put away, rinsed at the sink and pulled back out. A 12 lb machine tends to live where you first set it down.

The footprint is 12.11 in long by 7.15 in wide by 15.93 in tall, the narrowest body in this group. Ninja markets it as fitting under kitchen cabinets, and the 15.93 in height is the figure to check against your own clearance. The motor is rated at 150 watts, the lowest wattage stated here, which is normal for masticating designs that trade speed for torque. Ninja says the high-torque motor handles apples, carrots, celery and leafy greens, and that two interchangeable pulp filters let you pick Less Pulp or Lots of Pulp. Two programs, Start/Stop and Reverse, keep the controls simple.

It is also the only pick here that publishes a release year, 2023, and one of two with a 1 Year Limited Warranty on the listing.

The trade is capacity and prep. A 24oz jug and 36oz pulp bin means emptying mid-session on a family batch, and with no published chute measurement, assume more cutting than the wide-chute picks.

Pros:

• Lightest of the five at 7.93 lb
• Narrowest body here at 7.15 in wide
• Two pulp filters for texture control
• 1 Year Limited Warranty published
• Sells faster than the rest of this set

Cons:

• 24oz jug is the smallest capacity here
• No chute width published on the listing
• 150W is the lowest stated wattage in this group
• Pulp bin at 36oz needs emptying on big batches

2. EanOruus Juicer Machines — Best premium

The heaviest, biggest-capacity machine here, and the only wide-chute pick with a published warranty.

Best for: families loading a 100oz hopper for multi-day batches Skip it if: you have to lift the machine in and out of a cupboard

This is the most expensive pick here, and the money buys size and paperwork rather than a longer feature list. At 12.1 lb it is the heaviest of the five, sized 17.4 x 13.7 x 7.48 in, and the listing labels it Extra Large. It ships in Premium Gray.

Two things separate it from the other wide-chute machines. First, it publishes a 1 Year Limited Warranty, which the TUUMIIST and SMALLHOO listings do not. Second, it publishes a weight, which the two cheapest picks here also skip. When you are spending at the top of a set, documented support terms are a reasonable thing to buy.

EanOruus claims a 6.5-inch mega-wide chute that accepts whole apples and oranges, a 100oz hopper aimed at meal preppers, and two interchangeable strainers for juice and sorbet. The motor is described as a high-torque AC brushless design, though no wattage figure appears on the listing.

The catch is the body. It's nearly 6 in longer than the Ninja and more than 6 in wider front to back, so it needs a dedicated stretch of counter. At 12.1 lb, cupboard storage is a two-hand job. You are also paying the highest price in this set without a stated wattage or RPM figure to compare against the cheaper machines.

Pros:

• 1 Year Limited Warranty on the listing
• 100oz hopper claim for multi-day batches
• 6.5-inch chute claim fits whole apples
• Two strainers for juice and sorbet
• Publishes a full weight and dimensions

Cons:

• Heaviest pick here at 12.1 lb
• Highest price position in this set
• No wattage or RPM figure published
• 17.4 in length demands dedicated counter space

3. TUUMIIST 3-in-1 Cold Press Juicer Machine — Runner-up

A 6.5-inch chute and a 10 lb body for roughly mid-range money in this set.

Best for: whole-fruit juicing on a narrow stretch of counter Skip it if: you want a stated warranty in writing

The TUUMIIST is the compromise pick, and it earns the spot honestly. It's the middle price of the five, the middle weight at 10 lb, and it's the only machine here that publishes its 6.5-inch chute as a listed size rather than burying it in feature copy.

Dimensions are 16 x 7.76 x 8.82 in, which reads oddly against the taller Ninja until you notice the shape: this is a long, low machine rather than a tall one. If your problem is cabinet clearance rather than counter length, that geometry helps.

TUUMIIST claims up to 95% juice yield with bone-dry pulp, a smart touchscreen with juice, nut milk and sorbet modes, a 3-part assembly that rinses in about 3 minutes, and a motor under 60dB with automatic reverse. Take the yield number as marketing, since there's no standard test behind it. The 3-part assembly claim is the more credible one, because fewer parts genuinely does mean faster cleanup.

The gaps are on paper. No warranty appears on the listing, and only one seller stocks it, which narrows your options if something goes wrong. It also sells more slowly than the Ninja and the EanOruus. Against the SMALLHOO it gives up half an inch of chute and 20oz of claimed hopper capacity for a higher price.

Pros:

• 6.5 in chute published as a listed size
• Middle weight here at 10 lb
• Low 8.82 in height for tight cabinet gaps
• Claimed 3-part assembly for faster rinsing

Cons:

• No warranty stated on the listing
• Only one seller lists it
• Narrower chute than the SMALLHOO for more money
• Yield and noise figures are unverified claims

4. SMALLHOO 3-in-1 Juicer Machines — Best budget pick

The cheapest machine here and the one claiming the widest chute and biggest hopper.

Best for: big single-batch family juicing at the lowest price here Skip it if: you need a published weight or warranty before buying

On the numbers it publishes, this is the best value in the set. It's the cheapest of the five, and it claims the widest chute at 7 inches and the largest hopper at 120oz. Nothing else here claims both.

The body measures 17 x 13 x 7.5 in, so it's a big machine, essentially matching the EanOruus footprint at the lowest price position here. It comes in a silver finish. SMALLHOO says the 7-inch chute fits unpeeled, cored whole fruits, that the 120oz hopper handles a whole family in one batch, and that the auger turns at 60RPM for dry pulp. Tool-free disassembly, dishwasher-safe parts, a reverse function and an automatic safety lock when the lid opens round out the claims. Nut milk needs a 3 to 4 hour soak and sorbet needs fruit thawed 3 to 5 minutes, which the listing states plainly.

Here's where it costs you. There's no published weight, so you cannot judge whether you can lift it. There's no warranty on the listing, unlike both premium picks. Only one seller stocks it, and it's the slowest seller of the five, so there's less shopper history behind it than the Ninja carries. Every headline number is a manufacturer claim rather than a listed specification.

Pros:

• Cheapest of the five picks
• Widest chute claim here at 7 in
• Largest claimed hopper at 120oz
• Dishwasher-safe parts and tool-free disassembly claimed
• Lid safety lock included

Cons:

• No published weight anywhere on the listing
• No stated warranty
• Slowest seller of the five
• 17 x 13 in footprint is as large as the premium pick

5. Anybear 200W Cold Press Juicer — Best for beginners

The highest stated wattage here in the second-smallest body, with recipes included.

Best for: first-time juicers who want recipes and a small footprint Skip it if: you juice whole apples or large oranges

The Anybear is the machine to start on, and the reason is not the motor. It's that Anybear ships a collection of juice recipes with it, which sounds like a throwaway extra until you own a juicer and stare at a bag of kale with no plan.

The specifications back up the beginner framing. It's the second-cheapest here, sized 15.3 x 7.8 x 6.65 in, which makes it the shortest machine in the group by height. Anybear publishes a 200W motor with 180nm of torque at 65 RPM, and 200W is the highest stated wattage of the five. The listing also names the chute material: imported USA Tritan, described as baby food-grade.

That level of detail is unusual at this price position, and it's the reason it beats the SMALLHOO on transparency even while losing on chute width and hopper size.

The 4.3-inch chute is the real constraint. Anybear calls it oversized, and against a typical juicer that's fair, but it's the narrowest opening here by more than 2 inches against the SMALLHOO. Expect to quarter apples. There's no published weight, no warranty on the listing, and no hopper capacity figure, so batch size is a guess. Only one seller stocks it, and it sells more slowly than every other pick here.

Pros:

• Highest published wattage in this set at 200W
• Shortest body here at 6.65 in high
• Juice recipes included with the machine
• Tritan chute material named on the listing
• Second-cheapest pick of the five

Cons:

• Narrowest chute here at 4.3 in
• No hopper capacity published
• No weight or warranty stated
• Slowest seller and only one seller listed

How much counter and cabinet space do you need?

Measure before you buy. This is the single most common regret in this category, and it takes ninety seconds to avoid.

Two numbers matter. Height decides whether the machine lives on the counter under a wall cabinet, and depth decides whether it sits back far enough not to catch your elbow.

• Height: Ninja 15.93 in, Anybear 6.65 in, TUUMIIST 8.82 in, SMALLHOO 7.5 in, EanOruus 7.48 in. The listed orientation varies between these listings, so treat the largest of the three dimensions as the one that could hit a cabinet.
• Depth or width: Ninja 7.15 in, EanOruus 7.48 in, SMALLHOO 7.5 in, TUUMIIST 7.76 in, Anybear 7.8 in. Every pick here sits within 0.65 in of the others on this axis.
• Length: Anybear 15.3 in, TUUMIIST 16 in, SMALLHOO 17 in, EanOruus 17.4 in, Ninja 12.11 in.

The pattern worth noticing: on the narrow axis these machines are nearly identical, so what really varies is how long they are. The Ninja is more than 5 in shorter than the EanOruus. If your free counter is a 14-inch gap between the sink and the toaster, that single figure eliminates three of these five picks on its own.

Weight is the other space question, since it decides whether the juicer gets stored or stays out. Only three picks publish one: 7.93 lb, 10 lb and 12.1 lb.

What owning one actually involves

Nobody quits juicing because the yield disappointed them. They quit because of the cleaning.

A masticating juicer has an auger, a strainer, a housing, a lid and a collection vessel. All of it meets wet pulp, and pulp dries into cement if you leave it. Rinse immediately and it's a two-minute job. Leave it until evening and you're scrubbing mesh with a brush.

Three of these listings speak to that directly. TUUMIIST claims a 3-part assembly that rinses in roughly 3 minutes. SMALLHOO claims tool-free disassembly with dishwasher-safe parts. EanOruus describes cleaning as effortless without naming a part count. Ninja takes a different angle, offering two swappable pulp filters and a reverse function to clear jams rather than promising a fast rinse.

Prep is the other daily cost, and it ties straight back to chute width. A 4.3-inch opening means a cutting board every session. A 7-inch claim means the board comes out far less often.

Then there's pulp volume. Cold press machines produce dry pulp by design, which means a lot of it. The Ninja publishes a 36oz pulp bin. The others don't publish a pulp figure at all, so plan on emptying into a compost bin or a bag as you go.

The verdict

The Ninja NeverClog JC151 is the best budget cold press juicer for most people, because it wins on the two things you'll notice every day: it's the lightest here at 7.93 lb and the narrowest at 7.15 in, and it's backed by a published 1 Year Limited Warranty. It's also the machine buyers in this set reach for most often. Two pulp filters and a reverse program cover the practical bases without adding modes you won't touch.

Two conditions flip that recommendation. First, if you juice whole apples and refuse to cut them, the EanOruus is the better buy: it claims a 6.5-inch chute and a 100oz hopper, and it's the only wide-chute pick here with a stated warranty. Second, if your counter has more room than your budget, the SMALLHOO is the cheapest of the five while claiming the widest chute at 7 in and the biggest hopper at 120oz.

The EanOruus's exact advantage over the Ninja is loading volume. A claimed 100oz hopper against a 24oz jug is the difference between one uninterrupted family batch and three refills. You pay for it in bulk: 12.1 lb and a 17.4 in body against 7.93 lb and 12.11 in.

FAQ

Is a budget cold press juicer worth it over a centrifugal model?

A budget cold press juicer is worth it if you juice leafy greens, because a slow auger handles kale and celery that a high-speed basket struggles with. Masticating designs like these five also produce drier pulp, which means more juice per pound of produce. The trade is time: narrower chutes mean more cutting, and cleaning takes several minutes rather than one.

What does the best budget cold press juicer give up versus a premium one?

The best budget cold press juicer in a set like this usually gives up published data rather than capability. Both cheaper picks here, the SMALLHOO and the Anybear, list no weight and no warranty. Both pricier picks, the Ninja and the EanOruus, publish a 1 Year Limited Warranty. You also get fewer stated figures overall, which makes comparison harder before you buy.

How wide a chute do I actually need for whole apples?

How wide a chute you need depends on your fruit, but 6.5 inches is the working threshold in this set for whole apples. The TUUMIIST publishes 6.5" and says whole apples and celery go in directly. The SMALLHOO claims 7 inches. The Anybear's 4.3-inch chute is the narrowest here, so plan on quartering larger fruit before it goes in.

Ninja NeverClog or EanOruus: which should I buy?

Ninja NeverClog or EanOruus comes down to counter space against batch size. The Ninja is 7.93 lb, 12.11 in long, and stores easily, but its jug holds 24oz. The EanOruus is 12.1 lb and 17.4 in long with a claimed 100oz hopper and a 6.5-inch chute. Small kitchen, buy the Ninja. Family batches, buy the EanOruus.

What mistake do first-time juicer buyers make most often?

The mistake first-time juicer buyers make most often is shopping on wattage. Wattage tells you almost nothing about a masticating machine, where torque and auger speed do the work. The Anybear publishes 200W, the Ninja 150W, and both are described as high-torque. Chute width, hopper size and how many parts you have to wash matter far more day to day.

Start by measuring the gap where the juicer will live, then measure the shortest free stretch of counter. Those two numbers will cut this list of five down to two or three before you compare anything else. If both figures are generous, the wide-chute machines save you real prep time. If either one is tight, the Ninja JC151 is the pick that fits, and at 7.93 lb it's the one you'll actually bother pulling out on a weekday morning. A juicer that stays accessible gets used, and a juicer that gets used is the only one worth buying.
