Compare Juicers
Hurom H400 Cold Press Juicer scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
The manufacturer describes the juice-contact parts as 'BPA-free plastic' without specifying the actual polymer type. We can't verify the chemical safety profile without knowing exactly what plastic is used.
The juice-contact surfaces use Tritan copolyester — engineered specifically to be free of BPA, BPS, and other endocrine disruptors. This is the highest tier of food-contact plastic safety for acidic juice.
Confirmed BPA-free — important for a juicer since acidic juice significantly accelerates chemical leaching from plastic surfaces.

Standard centrifugal design spins at high RPM, which introduces heat and oxygen into the juice. Nutrient retention is lower than cold press, and juice should be consumed within 15-30 minutes.
Cold press masticating design operates at very low RPM — minimal heat, minimal oxidation, maximum nutrient retention. Juice stays fresh up to 72 hours, and you get significantly more yield per pound of produce.
The 850W motor handles hard produce like beets and carrots without stalling — plenty of power for any juicing task.
The 150W motor is purpose-built for slow-speed operation. This isn't underpowered — masticating juicers are designed for low RPM where wattage isn't a direct performance indicator.
Juice-contact parts are dishwasher safe, which makes a real difference for daily use — cleaning is the number one reason people stop using their juicer.

The 3-inch wide chute fits whole apples and large produce — no pre-cutting needed, which saves significant prep time.
The 1.8-inch chute means you'll need to pre-cut most produce. Budget extra prep time for each juicing session.
At 85 dB, this is loud — like a garbage disposal running. Plan your juicing around household schedules.
At around 60 dB, this is whisper-quiet for a juicer — you can juice early in the morning without waking anyone.
At $150, this is mid-range pricing — a sweet spot for centrifugal quality.
At $499, this is luxury pricing — even among premium juicers.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
