About our test

We processed a kilogram each of carrots, apples, oranges and a combination of watermelon and pineapple. Next we measured the quantity of juice produced – and also checked its texture and consistency (we were looking for juice that was smooth rather than pulpy, grainy or frothy).

We also assessed how easy it was to “feed” the juicer, assemble and disassemble the various parts, clean the juicer, collect the juice and remove the pulp.

Finally we looked at safety – how easy it is for your hands to come into contact with the blades through the chute when the juicer is fully assembled.

See What we found for a discussion of our test, and the Test results for full details of how the juicers performed.
