Sage The 3X Bluicer Pro, Juicer and Blender, Brushed Stainless Steel, SJB815BSS

Product Information

Due to the blending technique with a whipping disk rather than a grinder at the end of a chute, it’s best for making smoothies rather than juice. The blades can’t quite grind the fruit and veg small enough to liquidise the contents. Although the latter is more powerful, the Nutri Juicer Plus offers plenty of oomph. It’s fairly expensive, but this juicer proves to be a great machine if you need the puree function. Our high performance fast juice makers are designed to extract large amounts of nutrient rich juice faster than a cold press juicer. While the extra wide feed chute helps shorten preparation time, the Cold Spin Technology ensures an insignificant temperature increase during the juicing process and the Noise Reduction Technology reduces mechanical noise in the kitchen.

Both the pulp bin and the transparent plastic juice jug are of a generous size. The jug lid has a built-in froth separator and millilitre measurements displayed up its side, helpful for anyone looking to make a specific amount of juice (or test how much juice this machine will yield). I then tried to juice the mangoes with the Nutri disc instead, which resulted in a more sippable mixture. The two large mangoes yielded 275ml of clear juice, while the discarded flesh was still delicious enough to eat on its own. By far the cheapest on this list, the Breville Blendactive is a great budget option for anyone wanting smoothies and milkshakes on the go. The containers which the contents are blended in double as sports bottles so you can whip them up in the morning and take them to work, the gym or just on general errands. I’ve found it to be a particularly effective way of getting in my five a day. How does it perform? There’s the obvious downside in that it only makes citrus juice, so if like me you’re particularly fond of orange juice, or hoping to run a lemonade stand on a warm day, this is the machine for you.

Finally there are citrus juicers, which do what they say on the tin. Unlike more high-tech juicers, all you need to do here is slice your chosen citrus fruit in half, then push the fleshy half onto a rotating press. Clean-up wasn’t difficult as such, but the Froojie disc and its insert meant there was more washing-up to do. The transparent bowl, juicer lid, pulp bin, juice disc, the jug and its lid are all dishwasher-safe – top shelf only – while the Froojie insert is not. It isn’t clear whether the Froojie disc can be cleaned in the dishwasher; I chose to err on the side of caution.

There are two main types of juicer: centrifugal and slow juicers. Slow juicers, sometimes referred to as cold press or masticating juicers, function by breaking down the fruit or veg into smaller particles before grinding it into juice. “The result of this is more juice extracted without the internal elements generating heat, but at a much slower pace,” says Elias Ebert, managing director of iSqueeze, who provide professional juicing machines to hotels and restaurants. More impressively, the Bluicer is surprisingly quiet. I was expecting an almighty roar as my fruit was blitzed into dust by the high-speed blades, but it was anything but ear piercing considering the force it exerts. In blender mode, the machine was a lot louder though not significantly more than rival machines.This latest Hurom juicer is one of the least bulky slow juicers on the market, taking up less space on the worktop than other models. It’s self-feeding, which means you can fill the top compartment with produce and walk away, letting it do the work - some juicers you need to be there permanently. Minimize damage to delicate vitamins and minerals from heat and processing. Sage's Cold Spin Technology has been shown to transfer less than -16.7°C while extracting juice. And the 850 W motor processes even the toughest fruits and vegetables in just seconds. The Sage Nutri Juicer Plus is definitely a pricey option. If you’re looking for a simple juicer that gets the job done, the Dualit Juice Extractor is almost as good at a more affordable price. The Bluicer has an interchangeable design with one base and two modes - kinetic blending and cold spin juicing. In juicer mode, easily process whole fruits and vegetables, then extract fresh juice directly into the blending jug. In the blender mode, select from several one-touch programs and use the high-power motor to mix fresh juice with fruits, vegetables or ice to create endless healthy recipes.

Best Juicers of 2023 for juicing fresh fruit and vegetables

Aside from the obvious benefit of having two products in one, you’ll also be able to use your own fresh juice in smoothies instead of reaching for shop-bought stuff. Moreover, some ingredients, such as kale, don’t take well to juicing. So the ability to chop and change between the two functions gives you the opportunity to create more complex drinks. The control panel of the Nutri Juicer Plus includes an on/off switch, a clear LCD speed indicator and a speed control dial. All are straightforward to use because every turn of the dial lights up different suggestions for juicing, from soft fruit at setting ‘1’ to hard veg, apple and pineapple at setting ‘5’. Blending was a doddle, too. Simply replace the juicing attachment with the blender jug, secure it in place with the metal arm and you’re good to go. The blender made easy work of vegetables like broccoli, carrots and kale and, while I did have to chop them, it was only into thirds or quarters. Having said that, it’s certainly not something I would recommend if you’re just dipping your toes into the world of juicing or blending. If you’re more concerned with making juice than smoothies, the Sage Nutri Juicer is a sensible alternative that’s also a good bit cheaper, while for smoothie lovers, could go for the Ninja Multi-Serve instead. Juicing at high speeds – such as at setting ‘5’ – is a fine balance between using the plunger to stop ingredients from flying out and avoiding plunging down too hard. When juicing tough veg such as beetroot or parsnips, I instinctively wanted to press the plunger down a bit. However, this meant juice started leaking from the rim of the lid.

That power, however, made it a very noisy juicer, even on the lowest of two speed settings. It also frothed up the juice almost to the consistency of a smoothie, although a froth separator does help remove some of that. The Bluicer has a 1,500W motor and size-wise, it’s quite something to behold. It weighs 8.9kg and measures 276 x 530 x 528mm (WDH), meaning you certainly won’t want to move it often. Sage The 3X Bluicer Pro review: Price and competition In the case of leakage, the instructions recommend trying a slower juicing speed and pushing the plunger more slowly. While I appreciate this advice, perhaps a more airtight lid would be better? Compared with some other juicers, the Nutri Juicer Plus’ spout rarely drips. However, some residual juice tends to remain in the bowl. Tilting the machine a little can help you get to the dregs. But the Froojie disc does add value, enabling the Nutri Juicer Plus to function as a blender/food processor to some extent. So if you’re keen to make delicious fruit purees for smoothies and desserts – or you simply want a machine that will look like the real professional deal in your kitchen – the Sage Nutri Juicer Plus won’t disappoint. Verdict

Sage Bluicer Pro juicer review - BBC Good Food | BBC Good Food

When it comes to fruit juice, nothing beats a delicious and nutritious fresh juice that you 've made yourself. You know exactly what 's in it, so you get all the goodness and absolutely no preservatives either. A glass of fresh juice is the perfect way to get you set for work in the morning and the ideal accompaniment to a fry-up on the weekend - and our juicers and presses are just what you need so you can make your own whenever you like. I also used the Vac Q during testing, which Sage claims make smoothies, sauces and milkshakes smoother, brighter and less frothy. When comparing it with a smoothie made without the Vac Q, there was a noticeable difference in texture and I did prefer the Vac Q one. If there was any colour difference between them, though, I couldn’t really tell.

As UK Juicers explain, “slow juicers and cold press juicers are just new names for masticating juicers”. This is because terms like “cold press” have been seen as a good marketing tool. The key difference is that these juicers break down a fruit or vegetable into smaller particles before the juice is ground out. More juice is extracted, according to Elias Ebert of iSqueeze, but it takes longer – although still less than a minute to make your morning juice. What are centrifugal juicers and how do you use them? There’s an added bonus in that it works as a pomegranate juicer as well. According to UK Juicers, a manual press is preferable than an electric one for the seedy red fruit, so if you like pomegranate juice (it’s delicious), this juicer comes highly recommended – although I found it to work better on smaller pomegranates. Pomegranate and orange juice was a revelation. SMEG’s iconic retro design gets the citrus treatment with this brilliant juicer that comes in a range of elegant styles. I opted for the loud red, which has a distinctly 60s feel. (Opt for cream and you basically have a mini R2-D2 on your countertop.) Speaking of which, this citrus juicer is so handsome I’d happily keep it on my work surface, although it’s small enough to pop in a cupboard. The Sage Nutri Juicer Plus comes with two discs: the Nutri disc and the Froojie disc. The Nutri disc is made from stainless steel with titanium-reinforced cutting blades, surrounded by a micro mesh filter; it’s designed for optimal juice and nutrient extraction. After using the Froojie disc at the recommended setting ‘1’, the instructions suggest turning the speed up to ‘2’ to eject the final bits of fruit puree – this really does work and is helpful for cleaning purposes as well.
