It's important to get your five fruit and veg a day, and juicing is a good way to fit them all into your diet. Drinking a juice full of vitamins and minerals is great for on-the-go drinks, whether for breakfast or during the day.
Having the right equipment makes everything easier, so choosing a juicer that will streamline your day, rather than make it more complicated, is vital. Some juicers require time-consuming preparation beforehand, and many take ages to clean afterwards. But we've chosen the best juicers available to buy today that are easy to use and will make your day run a bit smoother.
If you like smoothies then you might prefer to buy a NutriBullet, but if you're a pure fruit and veg fan then a juicer will give you a purer, simpler drink.
The best juicers
1 of 10Fridga Masticating Juicer
A bestseller on Amazon, it's no wonder this powerful juicer by Fridja is so popular. Updated in 2020, this whole fruit juicer cold presses fruits and vegetables with little to no waste. A large 78mm feeding chute means you spend less time chopping and preparing. The latest iteration includes an additional sieve to remove any pulp from the juice. Bits in or out, you decide. Review: "This juicer combines both looking great and functioning really well. It's not loud like my old juicer, it's quiet and powerful. Chews through hard fruits and vegetables without an issue and gives really dry pulp for minimum waste. Gets loads of juice out and is easy to clean. It's a well designed machine, which looks amazing in black stainless steel. The tilting feeding chute is good too. Love it!"

2 of 10Aicok Juicer 800W
Handily all the removable parts of this juicer can go in the dishwasher, making cleaning a bit easier. It has an 800W motor and two speeds for different types of fruit, so is super efficient. No jokes, but this has an extra-wide mouth so you can fit a whole apple in the funnel. Reviews on Amazon say this is powerful and easy to clean – just what you need.

4 of 10Philips HR1832/01 Viva Collection Compact Juicer
Available in black or brushed aluminium, you can make up to 1.5-litres of juice in one go with this compact juicer – and it won't take up too much room on your kitchen worktop either. The sieve section is designed for easy cleaning, and all the pulp collects in one place so not too much scrubbing required. You could even save the pulp and use it for soups, if you want to.

5 of 10Aicok Slow Masticating Juicer
A bit different to the other juicers on this list, this Aicok machine operates at a much slower speed and is super quiet. It claims to preserve vitamins and minerals that gets lost in other more-powerful centrifugal juicers.
6 of 10Braun J500 Juicer
Available in black or white, you'll get a glass of juice in just 15 seconds with this Braun juicer. It's quite noisy, but it's low maintenance, although it's quite heavy and bulky so you might want to keep this out on your counter rather than lifting in and out of the cupboard.
7 of 10Aicok Electric Orange Juicer
Does what it says on the tin – an electric orange juicer. For people who really really love orange juice and aren't bothered about any other types of juice. You can also use it for lemons, limes, and grapefruits, if you're feeling a bit fancy.
8 of 10Smeg SJF01BLUK 50’s Style Retro Slow Juicer
The most stylish juicer you could possibly buy? Probably. Definitely one to consider if you have a Smeg fridge. It only makes 500ml of juice at one time, so it's not the best in terms of performance, but oh isn't it pretty. It's available in a variety of colours but we love this pastel blue one.
9 of 10Smeg Dolce & Gabbana Citrus Juicer, £499.95
OK so this one is purely to sit in your kitchen and impress your friends, as it looks fantastic and it really doesn't matter how good the juice is, which is still going to be great because Smeg is such a reliable brand. johnlewis.com
10 of 10The Juice Lover's Big Book of Juices
If you're investing in a new juicer, then this book should be your bible – there are 425 juice recipes to try. There's also advice on how to get the best from your fruit and veg when juicing.
There's a lot of debate over whether juicing is as good as, or better, than blending fruit for a smoothie. Blending keeps every part of your fruit in your drink, so you get the benefits of the fibre, whereas juicing removes all that fibrous matter. Removing this fibre means your body will absorb the fructose in the fruit more quickly, so you must keep an eye on your sugar intake if you prefer juicing.
