Cold press juicers — which one for what? (2026 roundup)
Four masticating cold press juicers compared for daily home use, all available in Europe. Omega is horizontal auger; the other three are vertical.
Heavy greens and wheatgrass → Omega.
Daily celery-apple → REVO830.
Easiest cleanup, most compact → H400. (My travel juicer)
Best all-rounder at mid-price → EVO820.

Omega note: the horizontal auger design is unmatched for wheatgrass, sprouts, and leafy greens — but takes up more counter width and requires more cleaning effort. Not the right tool for whole apples or quick daily fruit juice.
