JR Ultra 8000 S Whole Slow Juicer, Smoothies, Sorbet, nut Milk

Product Information

This gets its Mega Mouth name on account of the extra large feed chute that, as with the JR Ultra 8000S, allows for bigger chunks of fruit and veg. However, unlike JR's machine, I found you can’t simply jam whole Granny Smiths into this one, because they won’t fit. Surely that defeats the object of having a large opening, missus?

Even so, this is a fantastic masticator if you can live with a little more prep of larger fruits, and a bit of judicious stringy-veg-prodding action. The Omega produces an extremely impressive juice yield that’s both relatively pulp free and damn tasty. The headline feature here however is the fact it doesn't excessively heat the juice as it smashes it against the blades. Known as Cold Spin Technology Sage estimates a meagre rise in temperature of just 1.8°C, which also means lower oxidation during the juicing process and longer-lasting juice. Given this comes with a huge sealable two litre jug, you can make juice for a few days and keep it in the fridge without it spoiling.

Its 85mm wide chute can handle a whole apple with ease, and while not designed for leafy greens, the two-speed motor does mean you can get more creative with harder fruits and vegetables. However, masticators also tend to require you to chop fruit and veg so finely, you begin to question the point of having a juicing machine entirely. Philips has a habit of trying to reinvent the wheel, and in the case of the Avance, its tweaked traditional slow juicing tech, relabelling it MicroMasticating. Ease of cleaning: We looked for machines with removable components that could be washed in a dishwasher or by hand. This seriously impressive, easily affordable centrifugal juicer is for people who want to make gallons of juice in next to no time.

It's also one of the fastest masticating juicers on the market and one of the easiest to clean; it comes with two small brushes and a really useful wraparound mesh cleaning brush that removes the vast majority of wayward pulp. Although being able to dishwasher it would be even better, but you can't.

Ease of storage: Although all juicers tend to be big due to the nature of the work they do, we looked for compact appliances that could be stored in a kitchen cupboard. Compared to a masticating juicer, the BJE430SIL will produce less juice – around 70 per cent, and the waste pulp is significantly wetter – but it is fast and affordable, and comes with Sage's usual high quality build and rugged good looks. The jug lid is also well designed and helps to separate the fruit foam from your glass. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{
