Basically a health kick in a box, the best juicers are the ticket to actually hitting your five a day in 2023 for once. Giving you the option to make juice out of anything and everything you might find in your fridge (although we'd recommend you stick to fruit and vegetables if you want to actually enjoy yourself), a juicer is a quick and easy way to ramp up your vitamins without the need for multivitamin supplements. It's your chance to bid adieu to store-bought juices that contain God knows what additives, and just make your own, exactly how you want it. Plain and simple.
Compact and cleverly designed, the latest juicers are great for whipping up healthy, eye-brightening drinks, all from the comfort of your kitchen. They're simple to use, easy to clean, and some can even take on harder foods like carrots, straining the juice as they go. Read on to find out which models make GQ's top picks of the best juicers for all budgets.
Juicers that have all the comprehensive features we're after don't always keep things compact, but the Nama Vitality 5800 is an exception. Designed to really bring out the flavour of your ingredients, you'll get some impeccably fresh juice that's blended to a smooth finish.
Simple and easy to use, this Nutribullet juicer is an everyday option that suits anyone just wanting to get into juicing without being after anything too fancy or specialist. At just under £100, it works well and ticks off all of the basics.
Should you want a juicer that can do far more than just juice, the Kuvings Juicer Evo 820 is the one to have on your radar. Full of every bell and whistle you could need, and capable of producing everything from nut butter to a smoothie or salsa, you'll be liquidizing like there's no tomorrow.

Why should I buy a juicer?
Whether you want to make a detoxifying green juice to start your morning cleanse or fancy a Blueberry Mojito to celebrate the weekend, a juicer can be a highly versatile tool to have to hand, while offering more specialised tools than even the best blenders.
A juicer provides the ideal way to get your five a day and discover new fruit and vegetable combos via the delicious medium of fresh juice. As well as energising your diet with drinks that are bursting with flavour, some of the latest models can also make delicious salsas, nut milks, nut butters, yoghurts, frozen-fruit desserts and purees.
Once you’ve mastered the art of locking them into place, the latest designs are straightforward to use and will save you the hiked-up prices of shop-bought juices. With dishwasher-safe parts and brush accessories that come in the box, the clean-up won’t take long either.
What should I look for when buying a juicer?
There are two main types of juicer to choose from and the ingredients you plan to juice will dictate both the design you buy and the amount of juice obtained. Centrifugal juicers work well with hard fruits such as carrots, apples and pears, shredding the fruit at a high speed and straining the pith on a wire mesh inside. Masticating, or “slow”, juice extractors, on the other hand, chew and press ingredients at a much gentler pace and claim to retain more nutrients in the juice extraction. A slow juicer is also best for juicing leafy greens, wheatgrass, citrus fruits, and softer fruits such as berries.
If you’re looking for a quick fix and don’t want the hassle of having to chop up ingredients too finely, pick up a model with a large feeding chute that can accommodate a whole apple in one go or large carrot batons.
If you want your juicer to do more than create drinks, a dedicated attachment for processing nut butters, nut milks, salsas and frozen desserts is what you’ll need to look out for.
For those days when you fancy a drink that’s a little more textured, a smoothie strainer will come in handy – it’s effectively a juicing screen with larger holes that allow more pith to get through.
What’s the best juicer I can buy online?
We’ve found an excellent choice of both centrifugal and slow juicers online. A particular favourite is the Kuvings Evo Juicer (£479, at amazon.co.uk), which we rate for its wide flip-gate feeding chamber, excellent performance and impressive results. We also like the sleek and compact Nama Vitality 5800 cold press juicer (£399, at amazon.co.uk), which extracts the juice from fruit and vegetables efficiently for maximum goodness and minimum waste.
How do we choose the best juicers?
In our mission to find the best juicers to invest in this year, we focused on machines that measured up in a range of key areas. Given that everyone will have different size and budget requirements, we've made sure to find an option that suits everyone, while also prioritising juicers that would last well, be versatile, and of course, make good juice. Whether you want one simply for freshly squeezed orange juice, or you're after a juicer that gives you the room to be a bit more experimental with flavours and ingredients, we've got you covered.
