Review of Juicers Available in the UK

Many people are aware of the benefits of juicing and take it up with the intention of changing their lifestyle to incorporate this highly beneficial source of fruit and vegetables. However the truth is that few people continue for more than a few weeks. This is mainly due to the fact that prepping can be tiresome, and washing a bore.

Here is a review of some of the best Juicers available in the UK which may help you decide on the best juicer for you and also help you continue to Juice for a healthy life. Most domestic juicers work on two principles: centrifugal and masticating. Centrifugal juicers feed chopped-up fruit and veg through a chute onto a spinning, perforated basket, which grates the fruit. Masticating juicers `chew'. This produces a higher nutritional content. The process incorporates less oxygen resulting in a longer shelf life, although all juices should be drunk soon after they're made.

This is both a juicer and a citrus press. It is sturdy and, considering it has a 250W commercial-grade motor, surprisingly quiet. The large basket means you can make lots of juice and is extremely easy to clean. Just clean around the basket with the special spatula, a quick rinse and it's done. It comes with an attachment for small and large citrus fruit as well as a coulis maker for soft fruit. There is also a great little recipe book with lots of ideas for drinks and desserts. It is available in satin steel and currently retails for £149.99.
