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

Product Information

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. 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. 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.

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. 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. 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. 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.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.

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. The Bluicer’s performance is exemplary. Its extra-wide chute meant I could push through medium-sized apples and oranges whole and only needed to cut larger fruit, such as grapefruits, in half. No matter the size or density of the ingredients I put through the machine, it made easy work of them, often transforming whole fruit and veg to juice in less than five seconds. With two grapefruits and two apples, I was able to make around 700ml of juice in well under a minute.

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. It has Cold Spin Technology, which means the juice will flow up and through the stainless steel cutting disc and Italian-made mesh filter so it doesn’t get too hot and keeps your drink fresher for longer. 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.

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.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. 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. We love the fact that the Bluicer banishes the need for a separate juicer and blender. If you’re keen to enjoy the nutritional benefits of a traditional slow juicer or cold press juicer, this probably isn’t the design for you.
