Best juicers to make delicious fresh juice at home

Best for: the ultimate 2-in-1

Undecided on whether you should be investing in a blender or a juicer? Sage has you covered by combining the 2-in-1 do-it-all appliance that couldn’t be easier to use.

Let’s start with the juicing function as that’s what we’re all here for. Simply attach the blade, exterior and ‘pusher’ to the top of the device, as well as the handy pulp bin to the back and you are ready to go. Depending on the hardness of the fruit, you’ll need to turn the dial up or down. Simple. Either use the blender or just a cup on the side to collect the juice. Get a fresh drink in seconds - no cutting or peeling required.

If it’s a smoothie you’re after, swap the juicing accoutrements for the blender, also provided. Both parts use the same base and there’s a whole host of pre-sets to make blitzing a breeze.

You won’t know how you lived without it.

Best for: lightning-speed juicing

Braun’s J700 juicer is designed to give you fresh juice in record time. The brand promises 15 seconds for a glass of your favourite morning beverage - and it certainly is speedy.

The device is straightforward; simply pop the fruit in the top and press on. The large chute can house most products whole or large chunks - no need to slice and dice. There’s also an anti-drip function to avert messes.

The jug attachment is complete with an anti-leak feature as well as a foam separator for those who prefer their beverage without a head. Dishwasher-safe.

Best for: a mini juicer for countertops with limited space

If kitchen worktop space is a concern, this juicer from Philips may be your best bet. Mini but mighty, it offers all the produce-squeezing benefits of its peers.

Add your pineapples, carrots or lime in the top of the device and get up to 1.5L of juice in one fell swoop - that’s enough to hydrate the whole family or to get a batch to drink over the next few days.

This is a really easy device to use with no complications, mess or fuss. Cleaning is also super simple thanks to the brand’s Quick Clean technology. The only time this may cause a little bit more work is if the filter gets blocked. But even then, it’s easy to fix - just dismantle the transparent container and empty.

Best for: the ultimate green juices and smoothies

Like the masticating juicer above, this Philips design also ensures you maximise all the goodness that your fruit and vegetables have to offer.

Whether you’re making a saintly green juice to up your five-a-day, or want an indulgent smoothie, the slow process maintains the fibre, mineral and vitamin content with a good level of juice extracted.

You can pre-cut or otherwise pop the produce in whole and the device comes complete with a handy pulp container. It’s quick and relatively quiet. The juicer’s parts are dishwasher safe.

Best for: a tried and true, value-for-money favourite

You’ll be hard-pressed (ahem) to find someone who doesn’t know about the beauty of the Nutribullet. It is one of the most straightforward appliances on the market; add fruit to one of the many containers included, twist the lid shut, slot onto the base, push - and you’re in the money.

The Blender Combo model brings the juicing element into the equation, allowing you to blitz your favourite fruit and vegetables with ease. Thanks to an innovative OneTouch technology, the Blender Combo can utilise a pre-programmed nutrition extraction cycle to ensure you’re getting the most out of your juices. The 1.8 litre jug blender can blend hot and cold in any one of the three Nutribullet vessels included in the set.

The brand has also recently launched The Juicer to further streamline the process.

Best for: a dedicated citrus fruit press with maximum extraction

While perhaps not as attractive as the model above, this citrus juicer from Sage takes the back-breaking work out of the citrus-squeezing process with the welcome addition of a press. It really requires no effort at all but yields an impressive quantity of juice extraction. No drop is wasted. You can either put the fruit in whole or halved - it’s entirely up to you. The parts are also dishwasher safe.

Best for: style and practicality

On our wish list for the longest time, this citrus juicer from Smeg has the vintage styling that the brand is known for and makes the perfect finishing touch to your kitchen.

Whether it’s freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning, or a squeeze of lemon to make flavoured water, it couldn’t be easier with this device. It has anti-slip feet and the fruit-facing parts are dishwasher safe. Easy peasy.

Best for: grandma’s favourite

There’s a reason why this design of citrus juicer has been around for years and years. When you have something that works, why change it?

Aid a healthy morning routine by maximising the vitamins and nutrients from citrus fruits. Halve your orange, lemon or lime and push it down on the squeeze - this starts and stops the device. You can either go left or right to really eek out every last drop.

The parts are dishwasher safe and the jug comes with handy measurements so you know when you have a full glass ready.

Best for: durable and speedy juicing

There are a lot of similarities of this juicer with the Braun model above but this iteration has a sleek stainless steel look. The construction is durable and the hard-wearing filter will last you for years to come. All the parts are dishwasher safe to ensure the cleaning process is as speedy as the juicing.

Best for: supreme sophistication

Chic, sleek and compact, this handy juicer from Magimix may be on the pricier side but it’s certainly worth the investment. From ultra-fresh juices and smoothies to freshly-whizzed dairy-free milk, the compact machine can do it all in a flash.

Thanks to innovative cold-press technology, this juicer can retain more vitamins and minerals while extracting a higher yield with lower oxidation, so that you can get the most out of fresh produce.

What’s more, you can enjoy freshly squeezed juice with or without the pulp depending on your daily preference. We think the Magimix Juice Expert operates more like a luxurious robotic butler than a countertop kitchen appliance.
