Juicers

Centrifugal Juicers Fast juicers like this Breville juicer use a sharp cutting blade to shred your fruits and vegetables, whilst the machine spins at a very high speed. These tend to be cheaper than cold press juicers, work well with harder fruits and vegetables such as carrots and apples, and produce juice quickly. So if price is a concern and you'd like your juice to be ready as soon as possible, these might be a good choice.

Masticating / Cold Press Juicers Slow juicers like this Kuvings juicer produce juice by pressing and crushing the fruits and vegetables rather than cutting them with a blade. The process is slower but this means the juice is 'cold pressed' as it doesn't generate as much heat in the process, preserving enzymes and nutrients in the juice. Although they do tend to cost more than other juicers, they are also quieter and produce a high yield of good quality juice, so if you intend to juice frequently and don't mind the slower juicing time, a cold press juicer can be a worthwhile investment.

Motorised Manual-Press Juicers If you prefer the old school way of pressing juice using a lemon squeezer or citrus press and have a limited budget, a motorised manual-press like this Kambrook juicer can take the grunt work out of juicing. They also tend to be cheaper but they work best with soft fruits and vegetables, so if your needs are simple and you're simply looking for a citrus juicer, these can be a good choice.

Twin Gear The ultimate in juicers, these triturating juicers are considered the best of the best juicers, a cold press juicer with two gears instead of the standard single gear. They don't come cheap, but they work very well with hard fruit and vegetables and produce a dense and nutrient-rich juice.
