A juicer runs for minutes, not seconds, and most of its makers sell it as quiet. Slow juicers in particular are marketed on it: Hurom, Kuvings, Nama, Omega and Tribest all promise a quiet or whisper-quiet motor. What almost none of them does is print a decibel figure on a product page.
The figures we found come from two places. Santos, a French maker of juice bar equipment, measures its commercial juicers loaded at a metre and prints the result in its manuals. Budget slow juicer brands, AOBOSI, AMZCHEF and SiFENE among them, print ceilings in their page text with no condition at all, and Hurom gives rough figures for its own models in a blog post. None of the home centrifugal juicers we read, from Breville, Cuisinart, Hamilton Beach or SiFENE, carries a figure from its maker.
Our picks are listed above, with full specifications for each.
The picks run in order of how much each maker says about its number, not of how small the number is. Within each group below the wording is the same kind, so the numbers can be read against each other; across groups they cannot.
Measured loaded at 1 m, to ISO 11201
Santos's manuals for two juicers carry a full measurement: a value, a load, a distance and a standard. The #65 Nutrisantos cold press juicer is listed at 64 in "LAeq, dB, ref 20µPa", measured "at average speeds". The #50 centrifugal extractor is listed at 65, in a row headed "Noise (dBA) measured at 3,000 rpm". Both footnotes say the appliance was loaded, standing on a work surface 75 cm from the floor, with the microphone 1.6 m above the floor and 1 m away, under ISO 11201 and ISO 4871.
They share a method and not a machine. One is an auger pressing at a slow variable speed and the other a basket spinning at 3,000 rpm, and Santos names a different speed condition for each, so each is alone in its group.
Measured at 3,000 rpm, with no distance named
Santos's older shared manual for the #28 and #68 centrifugal extractors gives "75 / 70" for "Model #28 / Model #68", "Measured at 3000 rpm", in the same LAeq unit. Unlike the #50 and #65 manuals, it says nothing about load, distance or standard. The #68 is 5 dB below the #28 on identical wording, and the pair cannot be set against the #50.
Ceilings on home slow juicers
These all sit in the page text, all promise that the juicer stays below a line, and none says at what speed, with what produce or from how far away:
- AOBOSI JS-2401: "runs under 45dB".
- AMZCHEF JE120: under 55 dB, in the text and again in the detail table.
- SiFENE 8824: "under 60 decibels".
- AMZCHEF JS3005: "less than 60dB".
- SiFENE Max 3105: "less than 60-65 dB".
- SiFENE Pro 3209: "under 70 decibels".
Ranked among themselves, AOBOSI's is the lowest ceiling and SiFENE's Pro the highest. A lower ceiling is a smaller promise of the same kind, not a measurement, and two ceilings with no condition can describe very different moments of use.
Plain values, a floor and a blog's estimates
Three more kinds of figure turned up, each too different to rank against the ceilings. AOBOSI says its ZM1907B "runs quietly at 60 decibels", and AMZCHEF's table for the ZM1902B lists "Sound Level" as 60 dB: plain values, with no condition. AMZCHEF's SJ-036C page says "operating noise as low as 50 dB", which is a floor, the quietest the juicer gets, and the opposite of a ceiling.
Hurom's blog post of December 19, 2025 gives its own juicers approximate figures: roughly 53 dB for the H310, around 60 dB for the H400, around 64 dB for the H320 and around 68 dB for the H70. They come from one maker in one post, so they can be read against each other, but the post gives no condition, and the same post quotes other brands' figures that we did not take from those brands.
Why a slow juicer and a centrifugal one are not ranked here
The two kinds make their noise differently. A slow juicer turns an auger at tens of revolutions a minute: AMZCHEF gives 55 RPM for the JE120, SiFENE 60 RPM for the 8824, and Hurom 43 or 45 RPM for the H310, depending on which part of the page you read. A centrifugal juicer spins a basket at thousands: Santos runs its extractors at 3,000 rpm on 50 Hz power and 3,600 rpm on 60 Hz.
Hurom, Kuvings and Nama all say their slow juicers are quieter than high-speed ones, and Hurom's blog contrasts the two directly. Not one of them puts a home centrifugal juicer and a home slow juicer through the same measurement, and no home centrifugal maker we read prints a decibel figure for comparison. So the centrifugal juicers here sit in their own groups, and the guide makes no claim about which kind is quieter in a home kitchen.
Santos measured the #50 at 3,000 rpm, the speed its motor turns on 50 Hz power. The 100 to 120 V 50V1 sold with UL and NSF marks runs at 3,600 rpm on a US outlet, and Santos prints no figure for that speed. A basket spinning a fifth faster is unlikely to be quieter, so the 65 dBA reads best as a figure for the European speed. The #65 cold press has no such gap, since Santos measured it at average speeds.
Most of the best-known names answer the noise question in words. Kuvings's EVO820 FAQ says "The noise is at about conversation level", and its global page says the 60 RPM, 240 W motor "reduces noise". Nama says the J3 "runs quietly" in apartments and shared spaces. Omega promises "peaceful and quiet juicing sessions" from the JC4000 and says the Pure Press is "quieter than most juicers", and Tribest credits the Slowstar AI's brushless DC motor with "whisper-quiet operation".
On the centrifugal side, Breville's Juice Fountain Cold XL has a quiet setting that "reduces mechanical noise by 40%", which is a relative claim with no baseline, and Breville calls the Big Squeeze slow juicer "ultra quiet". Cuisinart says the CJE-1000 is "so quiet, you won't wake the family". Hamilton Beach's juicer listing mentions "minimal noise", and the manual for its commercial otto HJE960 extractor mentions noise only as a fault to fix.
Fretta's store lists the Boost F6000 under several near-identical pages, and only one of them says "less than 70db", so we left the F6000 out rather than pick a listing.
Reading these numbers in a kitchen
Decibels climb on a logarithmic scale: a rise of about ten sounds roughly twice as loud to most listeners, so the gap between a 45 and a 55 ceiling, if both held under the same condition, would be larger than it looks. The NIDCD puts normal conversation at 60 to 70 dBA, which is where Hurom's estimates for its larger juicers sit, and where Kuvings places the EVO820 in words. Our decibel chart sets those levels beside other household sounds.
Distance matters as much as the number. Santos's 64 and 65 were taken a metre from the machine. Most people stand closer than that to a countertop juicer while they feed it, and the budget brands do not say how far away their ceilings apply. For a household that juices before others are up, the figures here are a starting point, and the speed and size of the machine matter too: a slow juicer runs longer per glass, and a wide chute that takes whole fruit cuts down the time spent at the counter. The blender guide covers the other loud machine on most juicing counters.
How we chose
For this guide we went through the US product pages of Hurom, Kuvings, Nama, Omega, Tribest, Breville, Cuisinart, Hamilton Beach, AMZCHEF, AOBOSI, SiFENE and Fretta, Kuvings's global page, Hurom's blog post on quiet juicers, the manual for Hamilton Beach Commercial's otto HJE960, and Santos's product pages and English manuals for the #65, #50, #28 and #68. Ninja's site answered our requests with an access-denied page, so Ninja is not counted. Braun's US site returned no results for juicers and Panasonic's US search showed none. Philips's US juicer page returned a not-found error, and the European Philips juicer manuals we found links to were no longer on its document server, so Philips is not counted either.
A juicer made the picks only with a decibel figure from its own maker. We copied each figure with its unit and the words around it, noted whether it sat in a manual, the page text, a specification table or a blog post, and kept measured values, ceilings, plain values, floors and estimates apart. Slow and centrifugal juicers were never ranked against each other. Prices are those on the makers' own stores on October 17, 2026, with the regular price where a sale was showing; Santos shows no prices.
We did not measure any of these juicers; every decibel figure here was copied from the maker's own manual, product page or blog, and every other fact from the maker's own pages.
