Product Information

Aside from the obvious benefit of having two products in one, you’ll also be able to use your own fresh juice in smoothies instead of reaching for shop-bought stuff. Moreover, some ingredients, such as kale, don’t take well to juicing. So the ability to chop and change between the two functions gives you the opportunity to create more complex drinks. The worst? They were fiddly, felt overengineered and require ingredients to be chopped up into tiny pieces first to squeeze down the food chute. Cleaning Finally there are citrus juicers, which do what they say on the tin. Unlike more high-tech juicers, all you need to do here is slice your chosen citrus fruit in half, then push the fleshy half onto a rotating press.

Sage Bluicer Pro juicer review - BBC Good Food | BBC Good Food

We tested cold press juicers and centrifugal juicer machines from Nutribullet, Philips, Sage and more. To discover the best juicer, we measured exactly how much juice each squeezed out and how much of a faff it was to get the juice and pulp out afterwards. When assembled, the Nutri Juicer Plus is only 19cm wide and 27cm deep (without the jug attached), which is quite compact for such a powerful juicer. The height is a relatively standard 43cm. At just over 1 metre, the power cable is a good length, enabling easier worktop placement. I also used the Vac Q during testing, which Sage claims make smoothies, sauces and milkshakes smoother, brighter and less frothy. When comparing it with a smoothie made without the Vac Q, there was a noticeable difference in texture and I did prefer the Vac Q one. If there was any colour difference between them, though, I couldn’t really tell.Minimize damage to delicate vitamins and minerals from heat and processing. Sage's Cold Spin Technology has been shown to transfer less than -16.7°C while extracting juice. And the 850 W motor processes even the toughest fruits and vegetables in just seconds. Aesthetically, the Bluicer is an absolute stunner. The blending and juicing attachments sit atop a fingerprint-proof, brushed stainless steel body, which looks sleek and is incredibly easy to keep clean. The pusher, though plastic, is also a sleek silver and without handling it, you wouldn’t guess it was made from a different material to the Bluicer’s housing. Even the inner juicing blade, which you’ll rarely see, is a delight to look at because of its attractive gold colouring. According to Paul Hellawell at UK Juicers, it is a myth that centrifugal juicers destroy enzymes in the juice. “They just don’t extract as many as a cold press masticating juicer does,” Hellawell explains. “UK Juicers’ position is that masticating juicers are better. Centrifugal juicers do not destroy nutrients, but they also do ‘produce less nutritious juice’.” How do I clean my juicer? Featuring an even bigger 88mm feed chute, the Nutri Juicer® Cold XL can extract 2 Litres of nutrient rich juice up to 5x faster than a 'cold press' machine. Less suitable than slow juicers for soft fruits such as berries and leafy greens, although some have slower speed settings or special 'soft fruit' discs to help with this

How does it perform? There’s the obvious downside in that it only makes citrus juice, so if like me you’re particularly fond of orange juice, or hoping to run a lemonade stand on a warm day, this is the machine for you. Other accessories include a removable rubber juice nozzle, which is useful for those occasions you want to juice straight into a glass. A cleaning brush is also provided for scrubbing the mesh filter and the sharp blades of the discs.

We sieved each juice to measure how smooth it was, and timed how fast we could make juice with each machine. Smoothness is a personal choice, so we've made sure to highlight the best juicers for smooth juice, and the best for those who like bits in their juice. Ease of use

The Sage Nutri Juicer Plus has a pleasant, substantial feel to it, without actually being too heavy. Its grey plastic details, pulp bin and plunger complement the round stainless-steel body and feed chute. The transparent lid and bowl let you observe the machine’s centrifugal process. These are sometimes also called fast juicers. They shred ingredients with a fast-spinning blade surrounded by a sieve. The centrifugal force pushes food through the sieve, separating the juice and pulp. Juicing at high speeds – such as at setting ‘5’ – is a fine balance between using the plunger to stop ingredients from flying out and avoiding plunging down too hard. When juicing tough veg such as beetroot or parsnips, I instinctively wanted to press the plunger down a bit. However, this meant juice started leaking from the rim of the lid.

They only work with citrus fruit, so they're not any good if you want to add other fruit or vegetables In the case of leakage, the instructions recommend trying a slower juicing speed and pushing the plunger more slowly. While I appreciate this advice, perhaps a more airtight lid would be better? Compared with some other juicers, the Nutri Juicer Plus’ spout rarely drips. However, some residual juice tends to remain in the bowl. Tilting the machine a little can help you get to the dregs. SMEG’s iconic retro design gets the citrus treatment with this brilliant juicer that comes in a range of elegant styles. I opted for the loud red, which has a distinctly 60s feel. (Opt for cream and you basically have a mini R2-D2 on your countertop.) Speaking of which, this citrus juicer is so handsome I’d happily keep it on my work surface, although it’s small enough to pop in a cupboard. Ease of use: Although assembling the machines can be quite time-consuming, we noted how easy the instruction manuals were to use and the simplicity of each machine’s functionality once put together. We also made sure they weren’t too noisy for an everyday kitchen. Some can be used for other food preparation tasks, such as mincing, coffee grinding and making nut butters
