Lakeland large feed juicer
- Best: Overall
- Type: Centrifugal
- Dimensions: 29cm x 21cm x 41cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 800W
- Warranty: Three years
While we’d happily add any of these juicers to our kitchen cabinets, this Lakeland one stood out from the crowd, thanks to how easy it was to use. Simple in shape, simply feed whole fruits through the chute and watch juice come out of the front while the pulp goes into the back. The 1l jug that’s included catches every last drop, while stopping any spillage or splashing on the countertop, meaning little to no clean-up once complete. Non-slip feet keep it nice and steady, while the motor makes very little noise. The only downside to this one is it is hand-wash only, so be sure to pop it in to soak straightaway, lest you be left with cement-like crusts.
Sage the nutri juicer cold plus
- Best: For looks
- Type: Centrifugal
- Dymensions: 22cm x 33cm x 45cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power : 1,200-1,300W
- Warranty: Three-year guarantee
The team at Sage has done it again. While it’s difficult to get juicers to look sexy, this model with its brushed stainless-steel body gives it a good go. With two speeds for hard and soft fruits and cold spin technology, it has less than 1 per cent heat transfer onto whatever is being juiced. The jug and pulp bin are both dishwasher-friendly too, making it easy to clean. The juices came out silky and vibrant and the pulp left behind was very dry. It’s not a cheap option but it has a three-year guarantee and it’s worth the money if you’re a regular juicer. The 2l juice jug also means you can make batches. Without the jug attached, it sits at 19cm wide, 27cm deep and 41cm high, so is fairly compact for a juicer of its strength. At 7.5kg, it’s heavy but feels sturdy. It also has a safety lock, which means it’s good for the kids to have a go at too.
VonShef premium juicer
- Best: Bargain buy
- Type: Centrifugal
- Dimensions: 35cm x 26cm x 24cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 800W
- Warranty: N/A
At less than £60, this is a real bargain buy. Looking similar to our favourite find, the Lakeland large feed juicer (£69.99, Lakeland.co.uk) but slightly smaller, it’s sure to work well in small kitchens.
It has the same fuss-free design, too. A handy pour jug collects all the juice without any spillage, while the pulp is sent to the back container, ready to be scooped up and made into handy snacks. Two speed settings help to cut through different softness of fruit and veg, and it’s incredibly quick to clean – although we did have to hold it in place while blitzing, as it doesn’t seem the most secure.
Kuvings REVO830
- Best: For long produce
- Type: Masticating
- Dimensions: 25.6cm x 21cm x 48cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 200W
- Warranty: 10 years on motor, two years on parts
With carrots, cucumber, and celery some of the most popular juicing ingredients, this juicer has two chutes: one for long fruit and veg while the other chute is 88mm – wide enough to fit a whole apple and amongst the widest feed chutes on the market. The auto-cutting feature means almost zero ingredient prep is needed. The wrap-around cleaning brush means it cleans quickly too. Attachments for citrus juicing and smoothie-making can be bought and the motor comes with a 10-year warranty, so the brand is really putting its money where its mouth is. At 48cm tall, it’s not a juicer that’ll fit snugly under kitchen cupboards, and at 7.5kg it’s not the lightest, either. It’s one of the few models that comes in different colours, though, so you can match it to your kitchen.

- Best: Masticating juicer
- Type: Masticating
- Dimensions: 32.3cm x 43.6cm x 23.6cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 150W
- Warranty: One year
Ninja is known as the king of kitchen appliances, so, of course, its juicer didn’t disappoint. In a sexy, streamlined design (yes, we know it is just a juicer), it’s sure to look chic on any kitchen countertop. Being a masticating or cold-pressed juicer, it also squeezes out every last drop of great-tasting juice from all fruit and veg, just be sure to cut them up to make sure they fit through the chute. A pouring jug and pulp bowl are also included, to make it even easier to use, and different filters can be used to change the level of smoothness too. So, it really can make something to suit everyone.
Smeg 50s retro style CJF01RDUK citrus juicer
- Best: For orange juice
- Type: Centrifugal
- Dimensions: 28.1cm x 18.9cm x 16.5cm
- Whole fruit: No
- Power: 800W
- Warranty: Two years
For those who love orange juice, there may not be much point in picking up any other juicer. With an old-school design, this Smeg number is sure to look fabulous on any kitchen countertop. And don’t let its cute proportions fool you, as this is actually one powerful machine. Simply cut your orange, grapefruit or any other large citrus fruit in half, and watch this gadget whisk you up a refreshing, smooth juice in no time.
Kuvings B1700
- Best: For cold press juicing
- Type: Masticating
- Dimensions: 22.9cm x 21cm x 45cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 240W
- Warranty: 10 years on motor, two years on parts
Kuvings patented cold press juicing technology means a hydraulic press extracts the juice using no heat – which can affect the quality, nutrition, and flavour of the juice. While it isn’t dishwasher-friendly, the B1700 comes with cleaning tools, which make the clean-up a doddle – the rotation wiper did its job in seconds. The juices are silky, smooth, and vibrant in colour, thanks to the cold press technology. It comes with a 10-year motor guarantee and, while it’s 6.7kg (not the lightest), it’s simple to put together and is probably better suited to a permanent residence on the counter-top rather than coming in and out of a cupboard every time you use it.
Progress EK4573P slow juicer
- Best: For beginners
- Type: Masticating
- Dimensions: 39.3cm x 17.4cm x 33.8cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 150W
- Warranty: Three years
That may work much slower than centrifugal options, but you are left with silky smooth juice that’s bursting with goodness. Although you can put fruits in whole, the chute is on the smaller side, so you will most likely have to cut it down first. The fact it’s fairly quiet during use and has a relatively small size make it perfect for those sharing a house too, so don’t be shy to get started at 6am.
Philips viva collection juicer
- Best: For quick cleaning
- Type: Masticating
- Dimensions: 36.1cm x 36.2cm x 13.7cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 150W
- Warranty: Two-year guarantee
The first centrifugal juicer with a quick clean function, this model takes the hassle out of cleaning. Simply pouring water into the pusher creates a fountain that washes away rind and rinses pulp from the lid, which makes the sieve easier to clean. It went from juicing to being clean and ready to use again in less than two minutes. Its single-speed ploughed through all the juice recipes we tested and the juices had a good froth at the top with very dry pulp left behind. The suction feet mean it stays in place too, even on a wet worktop.
Although it’s currently out of stock at John Lewis, you can sign up for a notification email when it’s back. If you can’t wait, it’s still available at Argos.
Nutribullet 01515 juicer
- Best: Whole-fruit juicer
- Type: Centrifugal juicer
- Dimensions: 40.7cm x 23.9cm x 22.5cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 800W
- Warranty: One year
Anyone juicing for a family of four, or even bulk batching for a few days’ supply at a time, is sure to fall in love with this large machine. Blitzing whole fruits at a time, it’s incredibly easy to use, reducing the prep time to almost nothing, for fuss-free, fun juicing. The time it takes to take the fruit from whole to juiced is incredibly speedy, and it even comes with an 800ml jug to easily collect the liquid goodness too. Of course, being a centrifugal juicer, a lot of pulp is produced, but you can easily scoop this out and roll it into balls before freezing into healthy snacks.
Stellar juice exractor
- Best: For price
- Type: Centrifugal
- Dimensions: 47.7cm x 32.29cm x 26.3cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 800W
- Warranty: Two year electrical guarantee
This is one of the cheapest models we tested but the low price didn’t mean low quality, and it comes with a two-year guarantee, so puts its money where its mouth is. The juicing jug has a 1.25l capacity and a froth separator if you want pure juice and no froth. The stainless steel filter is removable and all parts are dishwasher-safe. It’s not the quietest on the market but it can fit whole oranges and apples without the need for peeling and it’s one of the faster models we tested too. It has two speeds and comes with a guide that tells you which foods to juice at which speed. It’s just 4.1kg and 42.5cm high, so light enough to move from cupboard to worktop if you don’t have space to have it out permanently. If you’re new to juicing and undecided whether you’ll get the use out of an expensive juicer, this is a great entry-level model.
Magimix juice expert three-in-one juicer
- Best: Luxury juicer
- Type: Masticating
- Dimensions: 41.5cm x 21.4cm x 18.3cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 400W
- Warranty: Three years
This Magimix juicer can do it all, from squeezing oranges to juicing veg and even making soups, sorbets and nut milks – although, it is on the larger side, so you will need to have a larger kitchen counter to really make the most of it.
An 84-page recipe book is included, to get you off to a good start, and it’s incredibly easy to use, easy to clean and an extra press filter delivers silky smooth juice within seconds. If you’ve got the budget to blow on a juicer, and the space to set it up, we think this will work wonders in your kitchen.
KitchenCraft manual juicer
- Best: Manual juicer
- Type: Manual
- Dimensions: 13.3cm x 24.2cm x 31.5cm
- Whole fruit: Yes, but more manual labour required for hard fruits
- Power: N/A
- Warranty: 12-month guarantee
This one takes a while to put together and we understand manual juicing might not be everyone’s cup of, well, juice, but this model is perfect for juice on the go or while camping. The instructions are clear, the suction feet hold it in place and, while it takes a bit of elbow grease for the harder fruits and veg, you can adjust the pulp nozzle to add more into your juice if you want a more fibrous drink. It’s completely silent to use, so handy in an office or when the rest of the house is asleep, and the pulp is surprisingly dry, considering it’s a manual juicer. The price point makes it the cheapest on the list and its energy consumption is zero.
Fridja powerful masticating juicer for whole fruits and vegetables
- Best: For experienced juicers
- Type: Masticating
- Dimensions: 19cm x 35cm x 35cm
- Whole fruit: Yes
- Power: 240W
- Warranty: One year
For those who have juiced before, you may want to take a look at this Fridja option. Sleek and sophisticated, it’s sure to elevate any countertop, but it is on the larger side, so you may struggle to store it away. Producing possibly the finest juices of all of these options, it’s perfect for those who really hate pulp. It has two large jugs to collect the vibrant liquid, while the optional sleeve filter will make the juice even smoother. There’s even a Youtube tutorial that tells you everything you need to know about how to get started – a bonus for those not too well-versed in setting up serious kitchen tech.
Nutribullet juicer pro
- Best: For recycling
- Type: Centrifugal
- Dimensions: 41cm x 26cm x 24cm
- Whole fruit: Yes, depending on size
- Power: 1,000W
- Warranty: One-year guarantee
This three-speed juicer is from Nutribullet, a name pretty synonymous with juicing. Low speed is for berries and softer fruits, high speed for fruit and veg such as cucumber and pineapple and the turbo speed whizzed through carrots and beetroot with ease. It was among the fastest to make the juices, and it was quiet. All components are dishwasher-safe, and it comes with a handy freezer tray to freeze anything you make but don’t consume straightaway. It comes with a juice jug but this has a lid, so you can use it as a travel cup. It’s just 41cm high and around 6.5kg, so one of the lighter models we tested. The manual has advice on how to recycle the juicer after use too, making it one of the greener choices.
It’s out of stock at Nutribullet’s own website at the moment, but fear not, if your need for juice is simply too great, we’ve spotted the machine at Amazon and Argos too.
