Juicers

A citrus juicer has a ridged cone that presses the juice from halved oranges, lemons and grapefruits, ideal for fresh orange juice or lemonade. A juice extractor uses a fast spinning blade and filter to separate juice from pulp, so it handles harder fruits and vegetables such as apples, carrots, beetroot and cucumbers. Some households keep both.

A centrifugal juice extractor spins at high speed, making juice quickly from hard fruits and vegetables, usually with a little more foam. A slow juicer, sometimes called a cold press or masticating juicer, crushes produce at low speed, runs more quietly and copes well with leafy greens and soft fruit. Check the product type in each listing to see which design a model uses.

Firm, juicy produce works well, such as apples, carrots, beetroot, cucumbers, celery and ginger. Remove large pits and hard stones, for example from mangoes and peaches, and peel thick or bitter skins such as citrus and pineapple. Soft fruits like bananas and avocados yield little juice and suit a blender instead. A wide feed chute means less chopping.

Rinse the parts straight after juicing, before pulp dries onto them. The filter or mesh needs the most attention, and a small cleaning brush helps clear its fine holes. Check the manual to see which parts are dishwasher safe. Wipe the motor base with a damp cloth only, and never put it in water.
