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

Product Information

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. This is a sturdy, heavy appliance, with a large stainless steel base and two huge plastic receptacles, one for the pulp and the other for up to two litres of juice. Though it’s chunky, it’s still rather sleek and attractive to look at, not an eyesore on the countertop. 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. This Nutripress juicer differs from the rest of the juicers in this review, in that it’s analogue and manual. No wires, no plugs, no noise, purely mechanical. Whether that is good or bad will depend on personal taste. For me it’s great, although of course limited. When assembled, the Nutri Juicer Plus is only 19cm wide and 27cm deep (without the jug attached), which is quite compact for such a powerful juicer. The height is a relatively standard 43cm. At just over 1 metre, the power cable is a good length, enabling easier worktop placement.

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.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. I challenged both discs of the Sage Nutri Juicer Plus with a variety of fruit and veg, and the results were all smooth and delicious. 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). Disappointingly, the Nutri Juicer Plus doesn’t come with any recipes. While recipes aren’t essential, considering Sage works closely with celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal, it’s a missed opportunity for presenting some creative concoctions.

Sage The 3X Bluicer Pro, Juicer and Blender, Brushed

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. 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 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. Sage says the Bluicer uses “cold-spin” technology to prevent the blades, and in turn the juice, from heating up during juicing. This is something centrifugal juicers can suffer from due to the high speed of the blades. It’s difficult to tell exactly how effective this is but the juices I produced certainly didn’t taste warm. 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.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. You no longer need to choose between a juicer or a blender. You can now blend, juice or both and enjoy all the nutrients, flavours and textures of your favourite beverages using one space saving appliance. 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.

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. 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. Helpfully, the manual provides detailed instructions as to which fruits can be pureed, and which speed setting to use when juicing in general. While the LCD screen already makes suggestions at the turn of the knob, the manual is more thorough, informing you of correct speeds for juicing cauliflower and Brussel sprouts. (Yum?)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. 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. According to Paul Hellawell at UK Juicers, it is a myth that centrifugal juicers destroy enzymes in the juice. “They just don’t extract as many as a cold press masticating juicer does,” Hellawell explains. “UK Juicers’ position is that masticating juicers are better. Centrifugal juicers do not destroy nutrients, but they also do ‘produce less nutritious juice’.” How do I clean my juicer? Other accessories include a removable rubber juice nozzle, which is useful for those occasions you want to juice straight into a glass. A cleaning brush is also provided for scrubbing the mesh filter and the sharp blades of the discs. 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.

Juicing six medium-sized carrots yielded an impressive 375ml, while the residual pulp was so dehydrated it had a powder-like quality. Four Granny Smith apples produced just under 300ml of juice. That said, this small blender certainly punches above its weight, power-wise, with a 350W motor. Unlike some of the bigger machines on this list, I could insert whole carrots and quartered apples. They were effortlessly blitzed within seconds. It’s just the final breakdown to liquid the Breville struggles with. It’s really difficult to say anything bad about the 3X Bluicer Pro. The quality of the juice produced was outstanding and the amount of liquid extracted from the fruit and vegetables was impressive.The word 'cold' refers to insignicant heat transfer as a comparison to other types of juicers which utilise the same terminology. It is not intended to suggest that the extracted juice is chilled by a chilling mechanism within the juicer. However, once hulled, no part of the strawberries were wasted – whereas juicing would have led to discarded pulp. The resulting puree was good for creating a coulis-type strawberry sauce, which worked wonderfully over some Viennetta.
