The best juicers in the UK for blitzing fruit and veg – tested | Gadgets

Long before we became a nation of smoothie lovers, with blenders gracing our worktops, the health-conscious kitchen was always home to a juicer. Those early models could be tricky to keep clean, or require herculean effort to produce a mere dribble – but modern juicers are more efficient, easier to maintain, and can often produce more than just fruit juice. The Guardian’s journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. There are some solid reasons to buy. Homemade juice is the original health drink: squeezed straight from fruit and vegetables, it has none of the preservatives sometimes found in shop-bought blends, nor is it treated to make it last longer or stay the right colour. Juicers can, however, leave behind some of the important fibre found in fruits’ skin and flesh. Another argument in favour of fresh is the taste. If you haven’t savoured it recently, you may not appreciate how delicious a glass of homemade juice can be: it’s like tasting it for the first …

Frequently Asked Questions How We Tested and What We Tested AccordionItemContainerButton We put each juicer through the paces, funneling a mountain of vegetables and fruit through each device, testing especially its ability to handle both tough and fibrous veggies and softer produce such as greens and berries. We taste-test a classic green juice (apples, carrots, celery, cucumber, leafy greens) and a carrot-apple-ginger. We also compare both the yield and frothiness of the juice among different juicers, from the same recipe or the same fruit. As of the most recent round of testing (January 2025), we also subjected each device to “torture tests” by intentionally not following instructions: loading produce in the wrong order, failing to chop ginger or pineapple, and leaving lemon in its peel, to see which devices spin fruitlessly or jam up sadly with fiber and pulp. We test each device with a decibel meter, noting when it’s much louder or quieter than the 65 decibels one might reach during polite conversation. And we assess each device for ease of cleaning.

The best juicers for juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, tried and tested at home

The best juicers for juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, tried and tested at home

I love kicking off the day with freshly squeezed juice, whether a simple orange juice or a more intricate concoction filled with all sorts of fruits and vegetables. Juicers differ from blenders in that they extract the liquid rather than mixing it all together, while food processors are geared towards the preparation of uncooked ingredients – chopping, dicing, slicing, kneading and so on. Juicing machines let you chuck fresh produce, often whole or without peeling, into a receptacle and grind it down into juice, with the pulp deposited into a container to be discarded or composted. It’s a good way to get in your five a day, provided you don’t drink too much juice, which can be bad for your teeth – the NHS recommends a maximum of 150ml per day. The easiest way to avoid expensive shop-bought options, which may have added sugar, is to have one of the best juicers at home. I’ve tried all the latest juicers from big names like Nutribullet, Sage and Philips in order to find the best home …
