A newcomer on the Best Cold Press Juicer list is the Nutribullet Slow Juicer, our best affordable slow juicing machine.

I’ve been waiting for a proper juice extractor from the brand, and the Nutribullet Slow Juicer is all that I hoped for. It’s a well-designed product that I can finally recommend to my readers.

If you’ve read my review of the first Nutribullet Juicer, I didn’t really give it a passing mark. But this one is different. All I have is praise. When I first saw it, I almost have mistaken it for a Hurom juicer.

Hurom H200 is the product to beat. Maybe the Nutribullet Slow Juicer might have a winning chance, considering how affordable it is. Below we’ll take a look at how this Nutribullet Slow Juicer stacks up.

Features

In addition to the wide feeding chute and dishwasher-safe removable parts, I love that this juicer has low RPMs for less oxidation. It is one reason the juice I made with the Nutribullet Slow Juicer easily lasted 3 days in the fridge.

Wide Chute

3 inch chute

This slow juicer features a 3-inch wide chute. That’s large enough to juice an entire apple without slicing it.

This width of the chute is a rather newer feature of the vertical masticating juicers, which is one reason for their popularity.

No Drip Spout

On less expensive juicers, you have to quickly replace one cup with another. Not so with this juicer!

Another great reason I like this spout design is that is allows juices from multiple types of produce to mix better before pouring.

Here are the rest of the technical specifications for this juicer.

Is Nutribullet Slow Juicer easy to use?

Nutribullet Cold Press Juicer only has six parts to put together. That is surprisingly fewer than other vertical slow juicers in the market. Then, all that’s left is setting the pulp and juice collector in place, turning the motor on, and getting the juices flowing.

Nutribullet Slow Juicer vs Centrifugal Juicers

The Nutribullet Slow Juicer is part of a family of juicers called Masticating Juicers. They are generally more popular than centrifugal juicers although each has their plusses and minuses.

Slow juicers are generally slow. It will take about a few minutes to make a glass of juice, starting from dicing your produce to the juice extraction process itself.

Centrifugal juice extractors, on the other hand, can do the same thing in a few seconds. There’s no need to chop most of your fruits and veggies due to the (generally) wide feeder and higher revolutions per minute (RPM).

Here are some other differences between the Nutribullet Slow Juicer and centrifugal juice extractors:

  • Slow juicers have motors with less than 100 RPMs (the Nutribullet has a 65 RPM motor), while centrifugal juice extractors run at thousands of RPMs.
  • Centrifugal juicers add oxidation to the juice, reducing its shelf life to about 24 hours, compared to the Nutribullet Slow Juicer which produces juice that lasts up to 3 days in the fridge. (Mine lasted a bit longer, but every dedicated juice drinker knows you finish it before it goes bad regardless.)
  • The Nutribullet Slow Juicer runs at just 150 watts, while centrifugal juice extractors use more electricity at about 700 watts.
  • Slow juicers usually require the dicing of produce, while centrifugal juicers can be used with little to no knife work.

But guess what? The Nutribullet Slow Juicer has a 3-inch feeding chute. It will save you a ton of time prepping your produce. You don’t need to dice your fruits and veggies into 1 to 2-inch sections like a standard vertical slow juicer.

To sum this section up, this juicing machine is easier to use than the competition.

Juice Quality

At 65 RPM, the Nutribullet Cold Press Juicer extracts juice at a more efficient rate than high-speed juicing machines. It produces more volume, and at the same time, cold-pressed juice retains more nutrients.

So, in terms of juice quality, this particular juicer is on the better end of the spectrum. Juice extracted by slow juicers lasts for at least three days. That’s quite significant considering that drinks made by centrifugal-type juicers have a shorter shelf life of just 24 hours.

The main culprit behind this wide shelf-life margin is oxidation. It’s the same thing that happens when you peel an apple and leave it exposed to air, light, and heat. With slow RPM juicers, oxidation is pretty minimal.

Is it easy to clean?

Except for the motor base and auger, most of the Nutribullet Slow Juicer’s parts are top-rack dishwasher safe. The motor base only requires a quick wipe using a damp cloth.

For best results, it would be ideal to rinse all the components with warm and soapy water. There’s an included brush with your purchase. You can use it to brush off the fibers from the juicing screen. Be careful, though, as it’s sharp.

I guess cleaning up the whole juicer would only take you three to five minutes. I’m not sure about you, but for me, it’s not that big of a deal.

What Kinds of Produce Can Nutribullet Slow Juicer Process?

The Nutribullet Slow Juice Extractor can take on most types of fruits and veggies. It can juice dense produce, citruses, and leafy greens. On top of that, it’s also capable of making nut-based milk alternatives. Recipes vary, but I’ve found that freshly made almond milk from this slow juicer lasts about 4-5 days.

The Nutribullet is not intended to process soft mushy fruits like avocados, bananas, or peaches. These items are non-juicable anyway. They are better blended rather than juiced.

Here is a detailed list of the produce you can process with the Nutribullet Slow Juicer.

Produce that is juceable by the Nutribullet Slow Juicer

When it comes to juicing citrus fruits, I highly recommend that you remove seeds and most of the rinds. It will reduce pulp, give you better flavor, and prevent damaging your machine. You might still want to include a bit of the rind in your juice. According to Healthline, 1 tablespoon of orange peel contains three times as much Vitamin C as the inner fruit.

The Nutribullet Cold Press Juicer is a new product. I will update this section once its video becomes available

The Nutribullet Slow Juicer is a vertical cold press juicer. With a 150-watt motor running at 65 RPM, it extracts juice at a more efficient rate. It’s a fantastic machine for green juices, beet juices, celery juices, etc. The most outstanding feature of the Nutribullet Slow Juicer is its 3-inch feeding chute.

Is Nutribullet Slow Juicer worth it?

The Nutribullet Slow Juicer earned my seal of approval. I would recommend it to anyone, whether you’re just getting started or have been juicing for years. It’s a highly affordable juicer that doesn’t disappoint on functionality.
