As we all become more aware of how vital our fruits are in our diet, it seems like everyone’s on the hunt for a new juicer. Fruit and vegetable juice is arguably the easiest way to get your fill without having to slave away in the kitchen, or pick the seeds and rind out of your teeth at work after a kiwi, mandarin or any other fruit.<\/p>\n
If you’re someone who wants to spice up their fruit intake and not just crunch into an apple each morning, then there’s a great alternative \u2014 a juicer! There’s no easier way to up your intake of fruit (and even some vegetables) than with a juicer, and it makes the whole process a lot more fun too. It’s all your day’s fruit intake in one quick, easy and delicious drink.<\/p>\n
Of course, there’s still the option of buying a $7 to $10 pressed juice or vegetable blend before or after work each day, but these costs can quickly add up. Plus, if you’ve got a capable juicer at home, you’ll save hundreds of dollars over a year, and use genuinely fresh fruit.<\/p>\n
For those new to the world of pressed juices and juicing your fruit at home, we have a fantastic comprehensive guide to the best juicers below.<\/p>\n
TL;DR Summary<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re just here to grab the good bits, then take a look at our quick summary below. These are the three best juicers we\u2019d recommend to our readers. They\u2019re affordable, feature-packed and reliable enough to power through juicing every day, for years to come.<\/p>\n
Kuvings B8000<\/strong><\/p>\n The overall winner for our best juicer is the Kuvings B8000 thanks to its price point, easy to clean design and the excellent build quality. You\u2019ll have no trouble at all quickly whipping up a juice in the morning with the Kuvings B8000, and it\u2019ll be just as easy to take it apart and clean it. The juicer even solves a significant problem that most others have, and that\u2019s the ultra-wide chute that fits just about everything you\u2019d want to juice.<\/p>\n Top Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Get This One If\u2026 you\u2019re looking for the best of the best that\u2019s easy to clean, going to last for years and has more than enough power to juice everything.\u00a0<\/p>\n Breville the Juice Fountain Max<\/strong><\/p>\n The juicer that you\u2019d find in just about every family home in Australia is the dependable and easy to use Juice Fountain Max. It\u2019s affordable, works great and can be pulled apart and cleaned very quickly. The chute design is also a standout feature on its own thanks to the fact it\u2019s wide enough to take whole fruits in one go \u2014 no need to slice an apple or orange, just throw it in whole.<\/p>\n The stainless steel materials and the modern design also pair perfectly with the most minimal kitchens. You\u2019ll also be able to quickly wipe down any mess from the juicer and not need to worry about hardening fruit pulp or juice finding its way on to the juicer.<\/p>\n Top Features<\/strong><\/p>\n ><\/p>\n Get This One If\u2026 it would help if you had a dependable morning juicer that\u2019ll let you throw in whole fruits and get the juicing job done fast, and the mess cleaned up even faster.<\/p>\n H101 Easy Clean Slow Juicer<\/strong><\/p>\n An innovator on the list, the H101 Easy Clean Slow Juicer turns its back on tiny grate strainers and opts for an easily cleaned plastic one as well as a tiled juicing well. That means not only is this juicer capable of getting more out of each fruit, it\u2019s also easier to clean than any other juicer on the list.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll also find custom cleaning tools in the box, making the morning kitchen clean even easier. Automatic pulp removal further stops you having to clean that out on your own, keeping the kitchen clean and giving you more time to focus on drinking your juice after you\u2019ve whipped it up.<\/p>\n Top Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Get This One If\u2026 it would help if you could clean up quick smart, want to have the option to include pulp and prefer a funnel-topped chute.<\/p>\n Our Selection and Review Process<\/p>\n To give you the most suitable recommendations for the best juicers in Australia, we dove deep into customer reviews, exclusive features and manufacturer perks to find the ideal juicer.<\/p>\n We know that to make the most of a juicer you’ll probably want one that’s easy to use, even easier to clean and gives you the smoothest juice. Whether it’s a pressed juicer or a fast juicer, we took a look at how customers found the juicing experience, the quality of the juicer’s build and of course the output of the juice itself.<\/p>\n Other considerations we took into account were the size, shape and design of the juicers to make sure that they were able to fit best in the kitchen. We strayed from bulky designs and intricate shapes that were hard to wipe down, and thus all juicers on our list are relatively slim, curved and easy to wipe down after use.<\/p>\n The chute and juicing mechanisms were also taken into account to ensure that there’s no need to spend a lot of time cutting all of your fruits into small tedious pieces. Juicers that had the ability to take entire fruits at a time were placed high on the list to help out with rushed morning routines \u2014 just throwing in a whole apple or orange is a lot quicker than cutting it all up.<\/p>\n Ultimately, all of the juicers on our list aren’t bulky, are uncomplicated to take apart and clean, and will help you get the most out of your morning juicing routine.<\/p>\n With all of that said, here are the best juicers to get the most out of your morning routine and increase your fruit intake.<\/p>\n The Best Juicers Overall<\/p>\n Arguably the best juicer on the market today, the Kuvings B800 is the perfect blend of all things we love about juicers, value for money, ease of use and a great design. It will fit perfectly on a countertop without taking too much attention and is designed well enough to wipe down after use easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n When it comes to using the juicer, the wide chute ensures plenty of space for whole fruits which makes sure you\u2019re not wasting time cutting things up. The grater and strainer in the juicer is also relatively strong and durable meaning you\u2019re able to quickly throw in soaked almonds, hazelnuts and other nuts into a juice \u2014 adding to diversity in your diet.\u00a0<\/p>\n The materials used in the juicer are also standout on their own as they\u2019re Ultem, which is a material made use of by NASA because of its durability. That said, your money goes a\u00a0long\u00a0way here, in that you\u2019ll not need to worry about corrosion and having to replace your juicer in a year or two.\u00a0<\/p>\n For after-juicing, the juicer has a smart cap and a design that easy to pull apart. You\u2019ll be able to quickly rinse and wipe down the Kuvings B800 without getting your hands trapped trying to reach all the hidden areas, as there aren\u2019t any.\u00a0<\/p>\n Lastly, the B800 includes cleaning tools, a recipe book and a recipe book to help you get the most out of the juicer and more fruit, vegetables and nuts into your diet.\u00a0<\/p>\n Standout Features\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Price and Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n At $499 the Kuvings B800 falls firmly in mid-range price territory, though for a high-end juicer. There is a fantastic 20-year motor warranty and a 5-year warranty for replacement parts, making sure there\u2019s support to keep your juicer going strong for years.\u00a0<\/p>\n To the juicer that’s likely already in one of your friend’s or family’s homes, the Juice Fountain Max is one of Australia’s most popular juicers, and for a good reason. The chute is a massive 8.4cm across making just about all popular juiced fruit and vegetables an easy fit, keeping things simple in the kitchen.<\/p>\n It’s also good to note that Breville states that their Breville’s Juice Fountain Max’s huge chute lets the juicer “extract up to 20% more” of the vitamins in your fruits and vegetables than other similarly designed juicers. A fantastic perk for those looking to increase their vitamin intake and cut down on chopping up fruits prior to juicing.<\/p>\n Another big standout of the Juice Fountain Max is its built-in compartments to divide juice, foam and pulp. We’re sure that no one likes slurping up frothy juice, and the Juice Fountain Max works wonders in removing it all from the juice before it hits your cup. All you’re left with is a smooth, well-juiced fruit extract, nothing else.<\/p>\n When it’s time to clean up, the Juice Fountain Max is also a godsend as there’s a tonne of parts that can be rinsed off and thrown in the dishwasher. For the parts that can’t be, there’s an included brush and a design that’s easier to clean than most.<\/p>\n Standout Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Price and Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n Coming in at $250, the Juice Fountain Max offers a tonne of bang for your buck. There’s a 5-year motor warranty and a design that makes morning juices faster and easier to clean up than ever.<\/p>\n One of the easiest to use juicers on our list is the Hurom H34 One Stop thanks to its lack-of-chute design. All you\u2019ll need to do is throw in all your fruits, vegetables and whatever else into the \u2018juicer\u2019 compartment, close the lid and turn it on. There\u2019s no need to sit slowly and \u2018feed\u2019 the juicer; it simply does it all at once while you tidy up your chopping board.<\/p>\n From a speed standpoint, the Hurom H34 One Stop may be the ideal juicer for those who are always in a rush in the morning. Or just want to save as much time as possible.<\/p>\n There is an excellent filter and smart cap, which makes sure you\u2019re getting the best result from your fruits, and there\u2019s little to no mess to clean up. You\u2019ll notice that the juicer\u2019s design is relatively compact too, making it fit comfortably on a countertop without taking up too much space.<\/p>\n Standout Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Price and Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n At $749 the juicer is a little on the expensive side, though offering an efficient and easy-to-clean up design you\u2019ll save more time here than with other juicers. A 5-year warranty on parts and a 10-year on the motor also offers peace of mind.<\/p>\n Although not a standout leader in juicers, the price point and compact design makes the 1,000-watt Sunbeam JE7800 land firmly on our list. There\u2019s a fantastic 3L capacity, which is enormous compared to most other juicers, and a chute size that fits almost all whole fruits, keeping chopping and dicing to a minimum.<\/p>\n Your morning\u2019s juicing activities should also be easy to clean considering the 2L pulp container means there\u2019s enough space to juice for a family of four to six without having to empty out the pulp constantly. For thorough cleaning, there\u2019s a cleaning brush and an easy-to-disassemble design. Parts aren\u2019t dishwasher safe though, so these will need to be washed up in the sink on their own.<\/p>\n One drawback may be the JE7800\u2019s operating noise, which is a fair bit louder than most, though the speeds make sure that you won\u2019t have to sit and listen to the roaring motor for too long.<\/p>\n Standout Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Price and Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n At just $179, there\u2019s little to no competition for the Sunbeam JE7800 on our list. And with an optimal design, motor and juicing strainer there\u2019s not too much left to be desired. A 1-year warranty is also included.<\/p>\n For designer kitchens where looks really do matter, there\u2019s nothing that comes close to the Mod Cold Press Juicer. The slim, tall and stainless steel juicer is one of the most elegant looking on the market and offers more than just juicing capability.<\/p>\n The juicer is touted as being quiet, easy to clean and is multi-functional in that it\u2019s able to help out making at-home butter, plant milk and sorbets \u2014an ideal companion for the health-focused eaters out there.<\/p>\n When the design is concerned, the shape and overall look of the juicer is a winner, and being so slim and tall, you\u2019ll be hard-pressed to find somewhere the juicer doesn\u2019t fit. It will simply work well in just about all storage locations in the kitchen.<\/p>\n The chute is also tall, wide and able to fit a tonne of fruits and vegetables at once, working similarly to the Hurom H34 One Stop where you\u2019ll be able to drop all of your fruit and vegetables into the juicer and leave it to do its thing while you\u2019re free to tidy up, saving you time.<\/p>\n A final perk of the Mod Cold Press Juicer is that it\u2019s capable of stripping fibrous greens like celery with ease, so adding a dash of your favourite greens to your juices won\u2019t result in a pulping, stringy and hard-to-drink mess.<\/p>\n Standout Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Price and Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n Coming in at under $500, the Mod Cold Press Juicer is a bargain in almost every sense. The juicer also comes with a 20-year motor warranty and 5-year for parts. The juicer is also branded as one of Australia\u2019s favourites and has a tonne of great reviews.<\/p>\n Our final standout juicer is the Optimum 400 with a fantastic price point and the ability to make more than just juice, which is always a plus. The fruit graters found in the Optimum 400 are dynamic and are touted as being able to make everything from juice through to ice cream, tofu and even nut-based kinds of milk.<\/p>\n To add to the features of the Optimum 400, there\u2019s a 1L juice jug keeping you going for a long while before having to serve your juices. The model is also capable of running for up to 35 minutes which is fantastic if you have a family of juice lovers.<\/p>\n Optimum also makes it clear that this juicer is undoubtedly more than just a juicer, with \u201cSoft & Hard Fruit & Veggies, Wheatgrass, Nuts and Soybeans\u201d listed as foods that can be juiced or blended in the machine. It\u2019s important to note, however, that the proprietary grating\/juicing element can have a little trouble with stringy greens like celery and kale.<\/p>\n There\u2019s an included cleaning brush and filter to make cleanup and replacements as easy as possible if there\u2019s ever an issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n Standout Features<\/strong><\/p>\n Price and Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n At $499 and with a 2-year warranty the Optimum 400 presents a reasonably good deal, though there are some other more capable options. Almost all reviews are very positive, however, and consumers also favour the design of the juicer.<\/p>\n Why Consider a Juicer<\/p>\n As we mentioned above, there\u2019s not really a more natural way to get your day\u2019s intake of fruits and vegetables than with a juicer. You\u2019ll be able to quickly guzzle down your 2 and 5 in just a few minutes in the morning or at brunch, and be done with them for the day.<\/p>\n On top of your fruits, you can even soak nuts like almonds and cashews and up your intake of all the vitamins and minerals in these too.<\/p>\n Another great reason to consider a juicer is that you\u2019ll save a tonne when compared to buying pressed juices in stores. With a great juicer, you\u2019ll be motivated to make a freshly squeezed juice each day before breakfast, or to drink on the way to work and you\u2019ll happily skip over an expensive daily stop at your pressed juicery.<\/p>\n Primary Considerations When Buying a Juicer<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking to transform your morning routine or lunchtimes with a great juicer, there are a few things you should always consider. You don\u2019t want to be spending hours a week cleaning pureed pulp from a juicer, so we\u2019re here to help make sure to get the right one.<\/p>\n Dynamic Parts<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s imperative to always be on the lookout for parts that are easy to disassemble and ideally can be washed in a dishwasher to save time. You should also take a look at whether you can get your hands on parts that are made from exclusive or high-tech materials that are less susceptible to rust, going blunt or staining.<\/p>\n Pulp Compartment<\/strong><\/p>\n A second vital feature to look out for in a juicer is a large pulp container. Without a large enough pulp container, you\u2019ll be continually stopping your juice-making activities to empty the pulp compartment, which becomes tedious if you\u2019re making a lot of juice for yourself and the family.<\/p>\n We suggest choosing between 1L and 3L, though juicers with a pulp drain may also be ideal if you\u2019re happy to put you own compartment below it.<\/p>\n The Widest Chute Possible<\/strong><\/p>\n Arguably the most crucial feature of a juicer is a chute that\u2019s wide enough for at least one type of whole fruit. The larger your chute, the more efficient you\u2019ll be able to churn out the juice in the morning without having to spend time chopping and dicing your fruit.<\/p>\n Chutes between 7cm and 9cm are ideal as you\u2019ll be able to throw in entire apples, oranges, mandarins and even tomatoes.<\/p>\n Juice Jugs<\/strong><\/p>\n Finally, you should do your best to look for a juice jug that fits as much juice as possible, ideally a litre or two. This will keep you going for long enough to get a good amount of juice without having to empty the juicer too often.<\/p>\n Keep in mind that juicers with larger juice jugs often have smaller pulp compartments and vice versa, so be sure to choose which is best for your ideal use.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Takeaway<\/p>\n From all of the stats outlined above, we\u2019d like to leave you with one conclusion; a great juicer should be your ultimate encouraging partner in the kitchen. If your juicer is designed to be straightforward to wipe down, motivates you to whip up a fresh glass of juice and looks good doing it \u2014 then you\u2019ve got a winner on your hands.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve selected Kuvings B8000 as the best of the best from our testing process and are more than comfortable recommending this model to our readers. You\u2019ll be able to instantly juice whole fruits, have no trouble dealing with pulp and find the cleanup as seamless and easy as possible.<\/p>\n In all, a good quality juicer will be the first step to a healthier lifestyle, and with a model that\u2019s reliable, durable and long-lasting like the ones we\u2019ve reviewed above for you, you\u2019ll likely not need to repurchase a juicer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As we all become more aware of how vital our fruits are in our diet, it seems like everyone’s on the hunt for a new juicer.
