Main trade-off
Nama J2
The 17.7-inch height excludes a 17-inch shelf before opening the hopper.
Head-to-head
Nama J2 vs Hurom H400: J2 eases storage and lifting, H400 removes conventional fine-mesh cleaning
The short answer
Choose the J2 when the lower listed weight and height fit your daily storage routine better. Choose the H400 when avoiding a conventional fine mesh strainer is the reason you are changing juicers.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
An 18-inch shelf separates these two
J2 is nominally 0.3 inches below an 18-inch shelf, while H400 is 0.5 inches above it. The small J2 allowance is only a storage screen. You still need a way to lift the machine out and open the hopper safely.
What this is based on
18 minus 17.7 = 0.3. H400 height is 18.5. Closed appliance dimensions do not establish operating clearance.
Main trade-off
Hurom H400
Removing a mesh strainer does not remove the need to clean the remaining food-contact parts.
Nama J2
- Choose it for
- You move the juicer after every use
- The 17.7-inch height fits your space better
- Main trade-off
- The 17.7-inch height excludes a 17-inch shelf before opening the hopper.
Hurom H400
- Choose it for
- You want a mesh-free separation design
- The juicer can stay assembled in a taller space
- Main trade-off
- Removing a mesh strainer does not remove the need to clean the remaining food-contact parts.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
An 18-inch shelf separates these two
J2 is nominally 0.3 inches below an 18-inch shelf, while H400 is 0.5 inches above it. The small J2 allowance is only a storage screen. You still need a way to lift the machine out and open the hopper safely.
How we reached this conclusion
18 minus 17.7 = 0.3. H400 height is 18.5. Closed appliance dimensions do not establish operating clearance.
The lighter machine may get used more in a shared kitchen
J2 weighs 2.7 lb less. If your counter doubles as food-preparation space and the juicer must move each morning, that difference deserves attention. If it remains in one place, the H400 separation design can become the more relevant advantage.
How we reached this conclusion
14.8 minus 12.1 = 2.7 lb. This is about 18% of H400 listed weight, without a claim about individual lifting ability.
Batch loading does not settle cleanup
Both let you preload prepared ingredients, so a hands-free label does not distinguish the entire routine. Look at the parts waiting in the sink afterward. H400 eliminates the conventional mesh strainer, but the auger and chamber still need cleaning.
How we reached this conclusion
Both manufacturer pages document self-feeding hoppers. H400 documents a strainer-free multi-auger. No matched cleaning-time test is available.
Choice A
Nama, J2
J2
Load prepared ingredients together when you prefer a batch-feeding routine and have a permanent place for the assembled machine.
- Best matched use
- You move the juicer after every use
Checked facts
- Loading: Self-feeding hopper
- Height: 17.7 inches
- Weight: 12.1 lb
- Separation approach: Strainer-based chamber
Choice B
Hurom, H400
H400
The two-part auger handles separation without a conventional fine mesh screen, which changes the parts you clean after juicing.
- Best matched use
- You want a mesh-free separation design
Checked facts
- Loading: Self-feeding hopper
- Height: 18.5 inches
- Weight: 14.8 lb
- Separation approach: Strainer-free two-part auger
Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | Nama J2 | Hurom H400 | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading | Self-feeding hopper | Self-feeding hopper | Both suit prepared recipes loaded together. |
| Height | 17.7 inches | 18.5 inches | The difference can decide a storage shelf before recipe preferences matter. |
| Weight | 12.1 lb | 14.8 lb | J2 removes 2.7 lb from a lift. |
| Separation approach | Strainer-based chamber | Strainer-free two-part auger | H400 removes a conventional mesh strainer from cleanup. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose Nama J2
- Hopper loading is not a fixed juice-yield promise.
If you choose Hurom H400
- At 18.5 inches high, it needs a tall storage space and extra room to open.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
You move the juicer after every use
Choose Nama J2. J2 is 2.7 lb lighter and 0.8 inches shorter on the listed specifications.
You want a mesh-free separation design
Choose Hurom H400. H400 changes cleanup by removing the conventional fine mesh juice strainer.
You require an assembled fit beneath a 17-inch shelf
Choose neither. Both are taller than 17 inches, even before opening the hopper.
What matters in practice
Before you choose
What this comparison cannot tell you
- Recommendations use documented specifications and stated operating limits. We have not measured matched juice yield, noise, cleaning time or nutritional effects.
