Here Are Our Choices for the Best Hydraulic Press Juicers (Complete with Reviews)

Hydraulic press juicers make juicing citrus effortless while being simple to use. They can vary widely in price, however, so how do you know which ones are worth your money? We’ve compiled the best hydraulic press juicers and reviewed them to determine just that.

We think we’re up to the task, too. With thousands of articles on juicing and 1.2 million Facebook followers, we’re the trusted online resource for all things juicing.

#1 / IMUSA USA J100-00110

This heavy-duty citrus juicer provides juicing power without a big price tag. It’s made from cast iron and the juicing components are stainless steel, making the unit durable and wear-resistant. Included with the juicer are 3 adapters for juicing, wedging, and slicing. You can use this multi-purpose machine for a variety of tasks including juicing oranges, making salsa, and slicing potatoes. 

No matter what you’re preparing, the large base makes it easy to properly place the collection container of your choice. If you’re making juice, the stainless steel reamer separates out the seeds and pulp but doesn’t come with the ability to adjust your pulp level.

Bottom line: This is a great entry-level hydraulic press juicer with multi-purpose components that make it well worth the price. 

#2 / Jamba Appliances 66430

The Jamba Appliances 66430 makes juicing your favorite citrus fruits easy. 550 pounds of pressure takes the effort out of juicing and makes sure you get a high yield. Cleaning is also simple with removable parts that are easy to clean and dishwasher safe. The heavy-duty metal construction and acid-resistant finish mean this juicer is built to last, plus it’s BPA-free.

You can use this juicer for limes, grapefruits, and even pomegranates, although it does struggle with especially large fruits. Whatever juice you decide to make is funneled directly into the container of your choice through the no-drip spout, minimizing mess. We couldn’t find anything bad to say about this juicer, and the only negative reviews we could find about parts breaking are covered by a 5-year warranty. 

Bottom line: This juicer is on the pricier side, but it’s so easy to use and clean we think it’s worth it. 

#3 / Hamilton Beach 932

This is a commercial citrus juicer that ensures maximum yield and quality. The extractor arm exerts 2,000 pounds of pressure for maximum output while minimizing peel oil and pulp residue. The strainer cone and funnel are easy to remove for cleaning, but while you’re juicing the Sure Grip™ feet keep the unit locked to your counter.

The Hamilton Beach 932 has become the standard in hydraulic press juicers. It’s been in production since 1932 and it’s classic design and juicing power have stood the test of time. The only negative thing we could find about the juicer is issues with the juicing cone oxidizing. If you experience this problem, the parts are covered by a 1-year warranty. 

Bottom line: It’s expensive, but worth it for the trusted form and function of this juicer. 

#4 / Olympus 97306

This commercial juicer is durable and helps you get the most juice possible from your citrus fruits. The cast iron and stainless steel construction is topped with an enamel finish make this juicer durable and resistant to acid. The cone and funnel cup remove any pulp and seeds from your juice and they’re removable for easy cleaning when you’re done juicing. 

The wide base design and rubber suction cup feet allow for safe operation, although some reviewers say you need to hold the unit with one hand and juice with the other to keep it sturdy. Others have had issues with parts breaking, and although the unit has a 1-year warranty, certain users have had bad experiences with customer service. 

Bottom line: There are juicers with similar features that don’t come with the commercial-grade price tag.

#5 / Gourmia GMJ9970

The Gourmia GMJ9970 is the cheapest juicer on this list, and although it doesn’t come with very many extra features, it’s still a high-quality juicer. The cast iron base and handle on this juicer make all the positive reviews about its durability no surprise. 

The rest of the parts are stainless steel, including the reamer, which can handle citrus fruits and pomegranates. It doesn’t have adjustable pulp control, but it’s a simple machine that is easy to use. The base attaches to your counter with suction cup feet, although some users have had issues with their juicer wobbling. Other users have had issues with parts breaking and the unit doesn’t come with a warranty.

Bottom line: We think the mixed reviews about durability are worth the risk given the great price and easy-to-use construction of this juicer.
