Nutribullet Slow Juicer Review

This is the cheapest way into genuine cold press juicing, and the two things it gets right are the two things a first-time owner actually needs: a reverse function and a footprint that fits. The compromises -- a 24 oz cup and a 1-year warranty -- are real, and for somebody finding out whether juicing will stick they are the right compromises to accept.

What Nutribullet states

• 65 RPM from a high-torque, low-speed motor.
• 150 W.
• A reverse function.
• A 24 oz juice container.
• Assembled dimensions of 17 in high x 6.25 in wide x 7 in deep, with a 39 in cord.
• BPA-free construction.
• A 1-year limited warranty.
• Model number NBJ50300.

Why the reverse function matters this much

Cold press juicers jam, and the usual culprit is celery -- long strands wrap the auger instead of being carried along it, the space ahead fills, and the motor stalls. It happens to everybody, usually in the first week, usually because they fed it too fast.

Without a reverse function, clearing that means switching off, taking the drum apart over the sink, pulling the wrapped fiber off the auger and reassembling -- mid-glass, probably already late. With reverse, you hold a button, the auger unwinds, and the blockage drops back out of the chute. It takes five seconds.

That is why we weight it so heavily for a first machine. Only two machines in our registry state one: this and AMZCHEF's ZM1501. See juicer clogging fixes for the technique that prevents jams in the first place.

The footprint is the other quiet advantage

6.25 in wide is narrower than anything else we cover, and the strongest predictor of whether a juicer keeps being used is whether using it requires lifting it out of a cupboard first. A machine the width of a tall kettle finds counter space in almost any kitchen.

Check the height though: 17 in assembled, and you need clearance above that to drop produce into the chute. Standard clearance between a counter and a wall cabinet is often around 18 in, which makes this tight rather than impossible. Measure first. Best compact juicers covers the issue properly.

The compromises, stated plainly

• A 24 oz container. A decent glass is 12 to 16 oz, so for one person it is fine and for two it means stopping to empty.
• A 1-year limited warranty, against the 15 years Omega, Hurom and Kuvings quote. That is the clearest gap between this band and premium.
• 150 W. Enough for greens, celery and soft produce; it is working hard on a daily carrot-and-beet habit.
• No published yield, pulp or cleanup figure. Same as every machine on this site.

Who this is for

Somebody buying a first cold press juicer who has not yet decided whether juicing will become a habit. The outlay is survivable if it does not, the mechanics are correct if it does, and the reverse function means the predictable early frustration is a five-second fix rather than a reason to give up.

Also somebody in a small kitchen, and somebody making ginger shots -- where a 24 oz container is irrelevant because the output is two ounces. See best juicers for ginger shots.

Who should skip it

Anybody juicing for more than one person, because of the container. Anybody who already knows juicing is a long-term habit -- at that point Omega's J8006HDS and its 15-year warranty is the better allocation of money. And anybody juicing hard carrots and beets daily, where 150 W is working harder than it should.
