The best juicers for every type of home and health kick

The first thing you’ll notice about the Kuvings 820 is its textured leather style, but where it really excels is the flip-top lid. It swings back and forth, making it safer to use and easier to insert large pieces of fruit. That’s helped by a bigger-than-usual 8.2cm funnel. 

It comes with two pitchers for catching your juice and pulp, which come out of two separate chutes. The juice chute has a tap mechanism to prevent dripping and the overall design is geared towards more juice, less pulp. 

There’s an optional attachment for converting into a citrus juicer but you do have to purchase separately.

The Omega VSJ843 (meaning Vertical Slow Juicer) isn’t a new model — it’s been out there squashing up fruit for a few years — but remains hugely popular. 

It’s powered by Dual Edge Auger tech and has an economic, effective action which takes two bites with every rev. An automatic wiping system cleans away pulp as you juice. Omega promises more juice and less pulp than any other juicer in its range (reassuring words from a top brand), helped by a slower RPM and twice the crushing power. 

It also includes a drip-proof valve so you can fill the juicer with water and fire up the blades to let them do the cleaning work.

The Magimix is a three-in-one machine. It has a filter for pure juice, a citrus press and pulp system for pulp-free juice, and an extra press for plant-based milks, smoothies, and purees. Yes, the Magimix can juice just about anything you want to press — fruit, veg, or nuts. Though some reviewers have marked it down for its performance with greens. 

It promises up to 70% more juice, and with a high speed and small footprint, it’s efficient for its size. A large funnel makes it easy to get big loads of fruit in there. 

If you’re stuck for juicy inspiration, Magimix has a free app which includes a nutritionist-approved recipe book. 

The Nutribullet Juicer comes at a pleasingly low-price and would best suit someone who’s new to the juicing game, with two basic settings — high and low speed. 

It comes with a fantastic manual that provides all the info you need on the different fruits and veg and how best to juice them — the best speeds and various recipes. There’s no need to hold back either, with a 7.5cm chute that handles most fruits without having to spend ages chopping and slicing beforehand. There’s plenty of space in the juicer itself too.

Also includes a small juice pitcher and handy brush to clean out the filter system. 

The Philips Viva Collection Compact Juicer offers high levels of juice extraction in a compact design that is significantly smaller than regular juicers. Don't let the size fool you. This device can still juice 1.5 litres in one go, and make quick easy juice, straight into your glass. You wouldn’t expect any less from one of the world’s foremost electronics brands.

This compact juicer is also extremely easy to use and clean. Every part has been made with easy cleaning in mind, with smooth surfaces, quick assembly and an electro-polished sieve, so the pulp fibres don't get trapped in the holes.

Not every juicer has to cost the equivalent of a fruit farm. The ElectriQ HSL600 juicer is very affordable and will impress juice fans with its performance. It uses low-speed masticating tech to slowly crush ingredients and reduce unnecessary friction. 

The funnel is on the smaller side, so you’ll struggle to feed fruit and veg whole. But you’ll find it’s still versatile. The horizontal design is made for extra efficiency with wheatgrass and leafy greens. It can also make soy, almond, and other nut milks. 

The juicer includes two plastic pitchers — one for juice, one for pulp — a small cleaning brush, and a six-in-one accessory pack for slicing and other prep jobs. 

For those looking to get the most out of their leafy greens, the Lexen GP62 is the way to manually do just that. This juicer is the solution for those that don't want to spend hundreds on an expensive masticating juicer, but also don't want to settle for a cheap model. 

It’s so simple. Just put a juice cup under the spout, place your veggies into the chute, and start churning. 

Cleaning is a breeze. All you have to do is unscrew the parts, rinse them off in the sink, and you're done. Thanks to its high juice-yield and cold-press technology, you can rest assured your greens will be nutrient-packed to the max. 

This Hamilton Beach model is perfect for either those who are just getting into juicing or even seasoned juicers who simply don't want to spend the big bucks. It cranks out 820 watts of power and has a 3-inch-wide chute that you can fit whole foods into (this baby can handle whole apples), so you can spend less time cutting and prepping. 

All of the juicer's removable parts are dishwasher safe, which makes clean-up super easy. Plus, it even comes with a handy cleaning brush.

It’s not the quietest machine out there, but that’s part and parcel of the centrifugal action.
