Buy the Ninja if you want to control how much pulp ends up in the glass. Buy the Nutribullet if you want a reverse function and the smallest footprint. Both are genuine cold press machines in the same price band with the same 1-year US warranty, and each has exactly one feature the other lacks.

Scroll the table sideways on a narrow screen. Every figure above is labeled with where it came from; “Not available” means we could not find a published source, not that the machine performs badly. How we pick.

The Ninja's two pulp filters

Ninja states two swappable pulp filters on the JC151 -- one for less pulp, one for more. That is genuine choice rather than a marketing line, and it matters for a first juicer because most people do not yet know which they prefer.

Ninja also states that every removable part is dishwasher safe, which for a cold press machine at this price is unusual and quietly removes most of the cleanup objection. Ninja publishes 150 W and, notably, no RPM figure at all -- so this machine cannot be compared with anything on speed.

The Nutribullet's reverse function

Nutribullet states 65 RPM, 150 W and a reverse function. The reverse is the more useful feature of the two for a beginner: it unwinds a jammed auger in seconds, where the alternative is taking the drum apart mid-glass. Celery jams are the most common beginner frustration in cold press juicing.

Nutribullet also publishes dimensions -- 17 in high, 6.25 in wide, 7 in deep -- which makes it the smallest real cold press machine on this site. A juicer that fits on the counter gets used; one that lives in a cupboard does not.

Note that Ninja does not publish an RPM and Nutribullet does not publish a reverse-equivalent or dishwasher status. Both gaps are genuine -- we checked the brand pages -- and both are the kind of omission that makes buying in this band harder than it should be.

Choose the Ninja if

  • You care about pulp, or do not yet know whether you do. Two filters lets you decide after buying.
  • You want the dishwasher to do the work. Ninja is explicit that all removable parts are dishwasher safe.
  • You juice tomatoes or other produce where you may want pulp retained.
  • The shorter, wider shape suits your counter -- 15.93 in tall against the Nutribullet's 17 in.

Choose the Nutribullet if

  • You will juice celery. The reverse function is close to essential, and celery is the most common jam.
  • Footprint is the constraint. 6.25 in wide is the narrowest real cold press machine we cover.
  • You want a published speed figure. 65 RPM, where Ninja states none.
  • You want the cheapest route into genuine cold press.

Both are small, both are cheap, both are real cold press. One difference each.

Our verdict

The Nutribullet, narrowly, for a first cold press juicer -- because a reverse function prevents a specific frustration that makes beginners give up, and because the narrower footprint means the machine stays on the counter. Our best juicers for beginners page picks it for the same reason.

The Ninja is the better buy if pulp preference matters to you, or if "all parts dishwasher safe" is what gets you to actually clean it. Both are sound purchases, which is a genuinely new situation in this price band.

1. Our verdict: the Nutribullet, narrowly

Nutribullet Slow Juicer

Nutribullet NBJ50300 · $100–200 · Our score 7.4/10

The reverse function prevents the specific frustration that makes beginners give up -- a celery jam clears in seconds instead of requiring a mid-glass disassembly -- and at 6.25 in wide it is the narrowest real cold press machine we cover, so it stays on the counter. The Ninja is the better buy if pulp preference matters to you.

What works

  • Cold press mechanics at a centrifugal-adjacent price
  • Reverse function, which is how you clear a celery jam
  • Small footprint at 17 in tall and 6.25 in wide

What does not

  • 1-year warranty against 15 years on the premium verticals
  • 24 oz catch cup forces breaks on bigger batches
  • No published yield, pulp or cleanup figures

Skip this if: You juice for more than one person. A 24 oz container means stopping and emptying mid-session.

Questions people ask

Which is better, the Ninja NeverClog or the Nutribullet Slow Juicer?
The Nutribullet narrowly, for a first juicer: it states a reverse function that clears celery jams in seconds, and at 6.25 in wide it is the narrowest real cold press machine we cover. The Ninja wins if pulp control matters, with two swappable filters.
Does the Ninja NeverClog have a reverse function?
Ninja does not state one on the pages we checked. Nutribullet does state a reverse function, which is why we weight that difference.
What RPM is the Ninja NeverClog?
Ninja does not publish an RPM figure for the JC151 -- only 150 W. That means it cannot be compared with other machines on speed, which is a genuine gap rather than something we failed to find.
Are either of their parts dishwasher safe?
Ninja states that all removable parts on the JC151 are dishwasher safe. Nutribullet does not state it on the pages we checked, so hand wash unless your manual says otherwise.
Do both handle celery?
Both are genuine cold press machines, so mechanically yes. The Nutribullet's reverse function makes celery less frustrating in practice, because celery is the produce most likely to jam an auger.
