However, once hulled, no part of the strawberries were wasted – whereas juicing would have led to discarded pulp. The resulting puree was good for creating a coulis-type strawberry sauce, which worked wonderfully over some Viennetta. That said, this small blender certainly punches above its weight, power-wise, with a 350W motor. Unlike some of the bigger machines on this list, I could insert whole carrots and quartered apples. They were effortlessly blitzed within seconds. It’s just the final breakdown to liquid the Breville struggles with. This is a sturdy, heavy appliance, with a large stainless steel base and two huge plastic receptacles, one for the pulp and the other for up to two litres of juice. Though it’s chunky, it’s still rather sleek and attractive to look at, not an eyesore on the countertop. 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. At 8.4cm in diameter, the chute is wide enough for a whole apple or a small beetroot. The plunger is grooved and needs to be inserted into the feed chute at a specific position, but there’s helpful marking on the outside of the feed chute to offer guidance.

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. 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. This Nutripress juicer differs from the rest of the juicers in this review, in that it’s analogue and manual. No wires, no plugs, no noise, purely mechanical. Whether that is good or bad will depend on personal taste. For me it’s great, although of course limited. 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. The Sage Nutri Juicer Plus is a high-end centrifugal juicer. The ‘Plus’ in the name denotes it’s a step up from the original Sage Nutri Juicer, adding a puree extractor for making smoothies and desserts, too.

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. When it comes to fruit juice, nothing beats a delicious and nutritious fresh juice that you 've made yourself. You know exactly what 's in it, so you get all the goodness and absolutely no preservatives either. A glass of fresh juice is the perfect way to get you set for work in the morning and the ideal accompaniment to a fry-up on the weekend - and our juicers and presses are just what you need so you can make your own whenever you like. And if you’re feeling lazy you can enlist the help of the blender’s self-clean function. Simply pop a couple of cups of warm, soapy water into the blender jug, tap the self-clean button and the blender spins the blade, cleaning most of the bits around the base of the blade and jug. I did find I needed to finish cleaning the jug by hand, though, so it isn’t 100% effective. Sage The 3X Bluicer Pro review: Verdict

Bluicers - Fresh Juice Blender Mixer Combo | Sage

This latest Hurom juicer is one of the least bulky slow juicers on the market, taking up less space on the worktop than other models. It’s self-feeding, which means you can fill the top compartment with produce and walk away, letting it do the work - some juicers you need to be there permanently. 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. The Bluicer has a 1,500W motor and size-wise, it’s quite something to behold. It weighs 8.9kg and measures 276 x 530 x 528mm (WDH), meaning you certainly won’t want to move it often. Sage The 3X Bluicer Pro review: Price and competitionLeafy greens were underwhelming, with both 100g spinach and 100g kale yielding just 45ml of juice each. But other centrifugal juicers rarely do better. You no longer need to choose between a juicer or a blender. You can now blend, juice or both and enjoy all the nutrients, flavours and textures of your favourite beverages using one space saving appliance. That power, however, made it a very noisy juicer, even on the lowest of two speed settings. It also frothed up the juice almost to the consistency of a smoothie, although a froth separator does help remove some of that. I challenged both discs of the Sage Nutri Juicer Plus with a variety of fruit and veg, and the results were all smooth and delicious. Our high performance fast juice makers are designed to extract large amounts of nutrient rich juice faster than a cold press juicer. While the extra wide feed chute helps shorten preparation time, the Cold Spin Technology ensures an insignificant temperature increase during the juicing process and the Noise Reduction Technology reduces mechanical noise in the kitchen.

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. By far the cheapest on this list, the Breville Blendactive is a great budget option for anyone wanting smoothies and milkshakes on the go. The containers which the contents are blended in double as sports bottles so you can whip them up in the morning and take them to work, the gym or just on general errands. I’ve found it to be a particularly effective way of getting in my five a day.Helpfully, the manual provides detailed instructions as to which fruits can be pureed, and which speed setting to use when juicing in general. While the LCD screen already makes suggestions at the turn of the knob, the manual is more thorough, informing you of correct speeds for juicing cauliflower and Brussel sprouts. (Yum?) It’s really difficult to say anything bad about the 3X Bluicer Pro. The quality of the juice produced was outstanding and the amount of liquid extracted from the fruit and vegetables was impressive.

More impressively, the Bluicer is surprisingly quiet. I was expecting an almighty roar as my fruit was blitzed into dust by the high-speed blades, but it was anything but ear piercing considering the force it exerts. In blender mode, the machine was a lot louder though not significantly more than rival machines. Blending was a doddle, too. Simply replace the juicing attachment with the blender jug, secure it in place with the metal arm and you’re good to go. The blender made easy work of vegetables like broccoli, carrots and kale and, while I did have to chop them, it was only into thirds or quarters.I like the streamlined design – it looks more like a water cooler than a juicer – and it’s much lighter than others I tested. It didn’t, however, juice quite as well as the top models. This was disappointing, given that it’s by some margin the most expensive. Larger fruit like apples and pears had to be cut into chunks, while the narrow chute only fit carrots, celery or pieces of fruit chopped up small. Clean-up wasn’t difficult as such, but the Froojie disc and its insert meant there was more washing-up to do. The transparent bowl, juicer lid, pulp bin, juice disc, the jug and its lid are all dishwasher-safe – top shelf only – while the Froojie insert is not. It isn’t clear whether the Froojie disc can be cleaned in the dishwasher; I chose to err on the side of caution.
