Compare Juicers
Which scores higher on safety? R3 breaks it down.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
The blades and filter basket are confirmed 304 stainless steel -- the gold standard for food-contact cutting surfaces.
The auger and housing are BPA-free plastic, but Ninja does not identify the specific type. Without knowing the polymer, we cannot verify what chemicals were used in place of BPA.
The material of the juice container is not disclosed anywhere by Hilax. Your juice sits in this container after extraction, and we can't tell you what it's made of.
Your juice collects and sits in a BPA-free plastic container. While BPA has been removed, acidic juices in prolonged contact with unspecified plastic is still a consideration for chemically cautious families.
The listing claims BPA-free status, though with undisclosed container materials, this claim covers only the disclosed components.
Ninja confirms this product is BPA-free across all components. This is a baseline expectation for modern kitchen appliances.
Hilax makes no statement about PFAS. Without knowing the container material, we can't rule out PFAS-containing components.
Ninja has not stated whether this product contains PFAS (forever chemicals). For a product with all-plastic food-contact surfaces, this is a notable gap.
Hilax discloses the blade material (304 SS) but leaves the container, housing, and other components unspecified. We're working with an incomplete picture.
Ninja confirms BPA-free status but does not identify the specific plastic type or address other chemical concerns. Partial transparency.
No independent lab has tested this juicer for heavy metal contamination.
No independent lab has tested this product for heavy metal content in its food-contact surfaces.
Centrifugal juicing is fast but generates heat that breaks down vitamins and enzymes. Leafy greens like spinach and kale extract poorly with this method.
Cold-press masticating extraction slowly crushes produce, preserving more vitamins and enzymes than centrifugal juicers. Your juice stays fresh for up to 72 hours in the fridge.
At 1,100 watts, this is the most powerful motor in our juicer batch. It tears through carrots, beets, and hard produce without hesitation.
The 150W motor is well-suited for slow extraction. It handles most fruits and vegetables effectively, though very hard produce may need to be cut smaller first.
Spinning at 18,000 RPM generates significant heat during extraction. Nutrients break down quickly, so drink your juice right away.
Ninja does not publish the exact RPM for this model. We are working from the brand's cold-press designation, which typically means under 120 RPM.
Multiple pulp settings let you go from smooth to chunky depending on your preference -- the most flexible pulp control in this batch.
Two interchangeable filters let you choose between smoother or pulpier juice. A nice touch that most budget juicers skip.
No noise measurement is available. Centrifugal juicers in this power class are typically quite loud -- expect to raise your voice during operation.
No noise measurement is available. Masticating juicers are generally much quieter than centrifugal models, so expect a low hum rather than a roar.
Removable parts go in the dishwasher -- a real time-saver for daily juicing routines.
All removable parts go in the dishwasher, which is a significant daily convenience advantage over hand-wash-only competitors.
The number of parts to disassemble isn't published. We're working from the product listing here, which doesn't specify.
Five parts to disassemble and reassemble -- manageable for daily juicing without frustration.
At nearly 16 inches tall, this is a tight fit under standard kitchen cabinets. Measure your clearance before buying.
At nearly 16 inches tall, this juicer may not fit under standard kitchen cabinets. Check your counter clearance before purchasing.
Zero warranty coverage. If anything fails -- motor, blade, container -- there's no manufacturer support. You're completely on your own.
One year of warranty is the industry minimum. For a $130 appliance, this is standard but not reassuring for long-term durability.
At $80, this is affordable but the lack of material disclosure and zero warranty mean you're accepting unknowns for the low price.
At $130, this is competitively priced for a cold-press juicer. The juice quality is genuinely good, but the material safety gaps mean you are paying less and getting less transparency.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You want powerful, fast juice extraction and don't mind drinking it immediately before nutrients degrade.
Adjustable pulp control is important -- the multi-level system lets you dial in your preferred texture.
You need a budget juicer under $80 and accept the material transparency tradeoffs at this price.
Dishwasher-safe parts are essential for your daily routine.
You want cold-press juice quality at a budget-friendly price under $130.
BPA-free plastic is acceptable to your family and you are less concerned about PFAS or specific polymer identification.
You value the NeverClog feed chute and dual-filter pulp control for daily convenience.
Dishwasher-safe parts are important because you juice every day and need quick cleanup.
The main thing to know
The juice container material is completely undisclosed and there is zero warranty coverage -- if the container is a low-grade plastic, your acidic juice sits in an unknown material with no recourse if the unit fails.
Every food-contact surface is BPA-free plastic, but Ninja will not tell you what type of plastic it is or whether it contains PFAS. For families who prioritize chemical transparency, this is a significant unknown.
Skip this if you...
Knowing exactly what materials touch your juice is important to your family -- the container is undisclosed.
You expect any warranty coverage at all -- this product offers none.
You want juice that stays fresh for more than a few hours -- centrifugal extraction at 18,000 RPM accelerates spoilage.
You need to know the exact type of plastic touching your food -- Ninja does not disclose the polymer.
PFAS-free verification is a requirement for your family's kitchen appliances.
You prefer stainless steel or glass food-contact surfaces to eliminate plastic leaching concerns entirely.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
I've reviewed all Juicers options at every price pointEvery Juicers in our database is scored using R3's deterministic scoring system - the same inputs always produce the same score. For this comparison, we evaluated Hilax and Ninja across 3 independent criteria: Safety (87%), Efficacy (9%), Usability (4%). No sponsored rankings. No paid placements.
Straight answers - no sponsored content, no filler.
Both scored close to 5.1/10, so the better choice depends on your priorities. Safety is our top-weighted scoring pillar, followed by efficacy, and usability. Check which pillar matters most to your family and compare those specific scores.
R3 uses a deterministic scoring system - the same inputs always produce the same score. We evaluate each Juicers across Safety, Efficacy, Usability using independently verified data. No sponsored rankings. No paid placements. Every score is fully reproducible.
Not necessarily. The overall score reflects our weighted rubric, but your priorities may differ. If you care most about safety, compare the safety scores directly. If budget drives your decision, the prices tell a clearer story. The "right" pick is the one that matches what matters most to your family.
