The control panel of the Nutri Juicer Plus includes an on/off switch, a clear LCD speed indicator and a speed control dial. This is a neat little device that’s supposed to make your smoothies and sauces brighter and more velvety in texture by pulling the air out of the blender jug.

Our high performance fast juice makers are designed to extract large amounts of nutrient rich juice faster than a cold press juicer. Centrifugal juicers work by utilising a fast-spinning metal blade to quickly chop up the fruit and veg. The Big Squeeze slow juicer crushes and squeezes ingredients to make more juice, with more nutrients and a little more fibre for a thicker, smoother texture.

When juicing tough veg such as beetroot or parsnips, I instinctively wanted to press the plunger down a bit. If you like to batch prepare your food and drink for the week, a masticating juicer will be the model for you. I did see some foam on the top – as there often is with high-speed juicers – but this was easy to remove. If you’re more concerned with making juice than smoothies, the Sage Nutri Juicer is a sensible alternative that’s also a good bit cheaper, while for smoothie lovers, could go for the Ninja Multi-Serve instead. I liked the dual feed function, a larger chute that takes whole apples or other fruits, and a smaller one to the side, which is long and narrow, ideal for whole carrots or celery.

Cleaning brush We found juicers that came with a cleaning brush were much easier to clean, as they can reach into nooks and crannies to remove small bits of pulp. Cleaning up was easy, so this is definitely the best option for those often in a morning rush, but you will lose out somewhat on extraction if using tougher fruit and veg.

It’s great for larger families or groups looking to save time, make batches of juice, and find a product that can multitask (thanks to its large feeder chute and 10 speed options). The Nutri disc is made from stainless steel with titanium-reinforced cutting blades, surrounded by a micro mesh filter; it’s designed for optimal juice and nutrient extraction.
