The Breville Juice Fountain Cold BJE430SIL at around A$207 is the best all-round juicer in Australia, with a 75mm chute that takes whole fruit and Breville's cold-spin extraction. For a true slow juicer the Optimum 600M runs at 40-45 RPM, and if you only juice oranges the Braun Tribute citrus press does that one job for about A$49.

Breville the Juice Fountain Cold Juicer BJE430SIL
The best all-rounder. The 75mm chute is the feature that decides whether you actually juice on a weekday morning, and Breville's cold-spin system gives up less to heat than a conventional centrifugal machine.
There are three different machines sold as 'juicers', and choosing the wrong type is the usual reason one ends up in a cupboard. Centrifugal juicers spin a blade at speed: fast, cheap, take whole fruit, but foamier juice and more noise. Cold press or masticating juicers crush slowly — higher yield, quieter, better with leafy greens, but more prep and more money. Citrus presses do one job for very little. Everything below was confirmed listed, in stock and shipping within Australia at the time of writing, with chute size, extraction type and dimensions taken from each manufacturer's own listing. The spread runs from about A$49 to A$294, and the cheapest machine here is the best one to buy if oranges are all you juice.
1Pick the TYPE before the brand. Centrifugal (Breville Juice Fountain models) is fast and takes whole fruit; cold press or masticating (Optimum, Ninja, NutriBullet) yields more and is quieter but needs more prep; a citrus press (Braun) does oranges and lemons only.
2Chute width decides prep time more than anything else. Both Breville models list a 75mm feed chute that takes whole fruit — that is the difference between juicing in two minutes and chopping for ten.
3'Cold press' is a speed, not a marketing word. The Optimum 600M lists 40-45 RPM, which is slow enough to avoid heating the juice — that is what the term actually describes. If a listing claims cold press without a speed, treat it with caution.
4Cleaning is what kills the habit. The Ninja lists two interchangeable pulp filters and the Optimum ships with a cleaning brush and separate juice and residue cups; look for dishwasher-safe parts and a brush in the box rather than assuming.
5Check the footprint if the juicer will live on the bench. The Optimum 600M is only 17cm wide but 40.5cm tall, while the NutriBullet is 37.6cm wide — very different shapes for a similar price.

Breville the Juice Fountain Cold Juicer BJE430SIL
Best overall
The best all-rounder. The 75mm chute is the feature that decides whether you actually juice on a weekday morning, and Breville's cold-spin system gives up less to heat than a conventional centrifugal machine.
75mm chute takes whole fruit and vegetables, which removes most of the prep
Cold Spin extraction with an Italian-made precision mesh filter
Breville's build quality in the category it is best known for
Cons
Centrifugal juice separates faster than cold-pressed
Dearer than the Ninja cold press below it
#2
NNinja
Ninja
Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer
Best cold press
Best cold press
The cold press to buy if you have been put off by clogging. Ninja has aimed the whole design at the failure mode that makes people abandon slow juicers, and the two pulp filters are a genuine convenience.
Two filters let you choose how much pulp ends up in the glass
NeverClog design targets the single most common cold-press complaint
Cheaper than both the Optimum and the NutriBullet slow juicers
Cons
Slower than a centrifugal machine
More parts to wash than a citrus press
#3
BBreville
Breville
Breville the Juice Fountain Compact Juicer BJE200SIL
Best value
The value pick and the one most people should start with. It keeps the wide chute — the feature that matters most day to day — and drops the extras, at a price that does not hurt if juicing turns out not to be your habit.
Breville states up to 70% more juice extracted directly into the glass
Dimensions
22.6D x 24.3W x 40.4H cm
Pros
Same 75mm whole-fruit chute as the dearer Breville, for A$78 less
Compact footprint at 24.3cm wide
Juices directly into the glass rather than a jug to wash
Cons
No cold-spin system like the BJE430SIL
Breville's 70% yield figure is its own claim, not an independent test
#4
OOptimum
Optimum
Optimum 600M Compact Cold Press Juicer
Best slow juicer
Best slow juicer
The one to buy if you take juicing seriously. It is the only machine here that publishes an RPM figure, and 40-45 RPM is what 'cold press' is supposed to mean — with a footprint narrow enough to leave on the bench.
40-45 RPM is genuinely slow — the speed that defines cold pressing
Narrowest footprint here at 17cm wide
Highest customer rating of the picks here, and ships with a cleaning brush
Cons
Most expensive pick in the guide
Slow juicing means more prep and more patience
#5
NNutriBullet
NutriBullet
NutriBullet Slow Juicer
Quietest
Quietest
A quiet masticating juicer with a sensible chute, priced level with the Ninja. Choose it over the Ninja if noise is your main objection to slow juicers — but check the bench space, because it is the largest machine here.
Widest and tallest machine here at 37.6cm by 45.7cm
Lowest rating of the picks in this guide
#6
BBraun
Braun
Braun Tribute Collection Electric Citrus Juicer 60W
Best for citrus
If your juicing is a glass of orange juice in the morning, buy this and ignore everything above it. A citrus press does that one job better, faster and with far less washing up than any A$200 machine.
Cheapest pick here by a wide margin and the highest rated but one
Direct-serve spout pours straight into the glass
Tiny — 17cm tall, so it stores in a cupboard easily
Cons
Oranges, lemons and grapefruit only — it will not juice a carrot or kale
60W is not a general-purpose motor
Editor's note
Buy the type, not the price. A centrifugal machine with a 75mm chute juices an apple whole in seconds and is the right answer for most households; a cold press yields more and is quieter but asks for chopping and patience; and a citrus press beats both at the only job most people actually do. Note that only the Optimum publishes a speed — 40-45 RPM — which is what 'cold press' is supposed to describe. Where a yield figure is quoted, such as Breville's 'up to 70% more juice', that is the manufacturer's own claim rather than an independent measurement.
Our take
Start with the Breville Juice Fountain Compact at A$129 unless you already know you want a slow juicer — it has the wide chute that keeps the habit alive, and it is cheap enough not to sting if juicing does not stick. Step up to the BJE430SIL for cold-spin extraction, to the Optimum if you want genuine slow pressing, and down to the Braun if the honest answer is that you just want orange juice. All six were confirmed in stock and shipping within Australia at the time of writing.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a cold press and a centrifugal juicer?
A centrifugal juicer spins a cutting disc at high speed — fast, takes whole fruit through a wide chute, but the juice is foamier and separates sooner. A cold press or masticating juicer crushes produce slowly, which yields more juice, handles leafy greens better and is much quieter. The Optimum 600M here lists 40-45 RPM, which is the speed that actually defines cold pressing.
Is an expensive juicer worth it?
Only if it matches how you juice. The A$129 Breville Compact has the same 75mm whole-fruit chute as the A$207 model, and the A$49 Braun citrus press beats every machine here at making orange juice. Spend up for genuine slow pressing or for cold-spin extraction — not on the assumption that dearer juices better.
Which juicer is best for leafy greens?
A masticating or cold press machine. Kale, spinach and wheatgrass pass through a high-speed centrifugal basket largely intact, while a slow auger crushes them properly. Of the picks here the Optimum 600M, Ninja NeverClog and NutriBullet Slow Juicer are the machines built for it.
Are juicers hard to clean?
Cleaning is the main reason juicers stop being used, so check what is in the box. The Optimum includes a cleaning brush along with separate juice and residue cups, and the Ninja's filters lift out for rinsing. A citrus press like the Braun has the fewest parts of all — which is a real argument for it if you juice daily.
