Starting the day with a fresh fruit juice might feel healthy, but many supermarket offerings are packed with added sugar, preservatives and other additives. If your new year’s resolution is to live a healthier lifestyle, consider investing in a juicer.
What is a juicer?
Juicers extract the juice from your favourite fruit and veg to make a pure, smooth beverage. The pulp is collected in an internal container that is easy to empty and clean. This leftover pulp can be added to your drink to make a juice ‘with bits’ or used in cooking.
How do they work? Masticating juicers
There are three main types of juicer: masticating, centrifugal and citrus. Masticating juicers are the best at preserving nutrients as they don’t generate heat. However, they are slower and tend to have narrower feed tubes, meaning you may need to dice your ingredients first.
Centrifugal juicers
Centrifugal juicers pulverise rapidly and you can usually chuck whole fruits and veg down their wider chutes. They tend to produce frothier juice, but most models come with built-in strainers to trap any foam before it hits your glass.
Citrus juicers
Citrus juicers are only suitable for squeezing citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits and lemons. They’re compact and easy to use - simply slice your fruit in half and pop it on the reamer.
You’ll find a mix of masticating, centrifugal and citrus juicers on our roundup. There’s a machine to suit all budgets, space limitations and aesthetic tastes. Grab a glass and tick off at least one of your five-a-day!
If you guzzle juice like water, you’ll need a juicer with an extra-large capacity.
This Sage model comes with a hefty two-litre jug, yet it still manages to look sleek. Its wide chute accommodates whole apples and the titanium cutting disc blitzes even tough fruit and veg to a velvety consistency.
Its heavy base keeps it stable during use, there’s a choice of two speeds and the jug is resealable for storing in your fridge door.
The integrated pulp container is easy to clean, thanks to the included cleaning brush and dishwasher-safe attachments.
The only downside is its high price, but it’s worth it!
This high-powered centrifugal juicer is a savvy buy for busy families.
Its wide feeding tube, razor-sharp blades and punchy 800w motor let you get away without peeling, chopping or removing pips first.
It makes light work of tougher-skinned fruit and veg, its lidded 1.1-litre juice jug is ideal for serving a group at once and its mesh filter and generous 1.5-litre pulp container are detachable and dishwasher-safe for faff-free cleaning - result! Parents will be reassured by its double safety lock and automatic overheating protector, too.
If a smaller model would suffice, look to the slower but still speedy 400w version, priced at £34.99.
