Sagethe Nutri Juicer Cold XL, Brushed Stainless Steel

While researching which juicer to buy we came across a few different brands (Philips, Braun etc...) and they all had these small juicing machines that while being small they did have a big nozzle so you could fit an entire apple in it without cutting the apple. But a lot of the reviews mentioned issues with durability and issues with the more tougher fruit and veg.Then we came across this machine and all the reviews claimed it could handle almost any fruit or veg you put in it, so we went for it.Safe to say the reviews were not wrong in the slightest, we have put carrots, apples, celery and toughest of all - beetroot in it and have now been using it for 7 months, while obviously the blades have dulled slightly over time they seem to have become settled into the sharpness they will hold for the next few years. The only reason they have dulled slightly is because they were absolutely razor sharp when the product was new, just by looking at it you could cut yourself! Extremely sharp! (handle with care when assembling the first time!)The entire machine is very sturdy and well built and the design is very clever so that it is both sturdy but flexible, you can see they have great engineers by the way they have intentionally designed certain elements to be able to move slightly during operation to make the machine stronger.The machine takes perhaps 5 seconds to assemble or disassemble and when fully assembled it is surprising compact actually, it looked bigger on the pictures. We do not have a dishwasher here but most parts of the machine are dishwasher safe there are only two parts that you have to hand wash no matter what.The blade element of the machine needs to be hand-washed (it is machine washable but this shortens the lifetime of the blades) and the part that is used to push the fruit/veg into the blade needs to be hand-washed as well. Everything else can be tossed in the dishwasher.For people with no dishwasher, hand washing everything takes perhaps 5-10 minutes. The design of the parts makes them very easy to wash by hand and they include a special plastic fibre scrubbing tool for the blade element.In terms of juicing the manual tells you what speed to use for all fruit and veg and ones not on the manual you can probably figure out yourself. It can handle almost any fruit and veg. For citrus fruit you need to peel it first (the skin will ruin the flavour) and grapes need to be seedless (probably again due to flavour).The machine can handle fruits with small pits/seeds - so for example citrus fruit and apples need very little prep. For apples you only need to remove the stem that sticks out the top and can put the apple directly into the machine as one whole apple. This is fantastic as it speeds up the juicing process immensely. They say the hole is big enough for one apple but it is not a tight fit, the hole is plenty big for one apple. This also helps for other stuff, so carrots you can put 2-4 carrots in at once depending on their size.Beetroot and certain other stuff you just need to peel first and/or other preparations before putting them into the machine - most are explained in the manual and other stuff you can just Google or use common sense.One very important feature of this machine is the lack of heat applied while juicing and it really does work the juice comes out pretty much at the temperature of the stuff that goes in. So carrots we keep refrigerated as example so the juice that comes out is slightly cool meaning very little heat has been applied to the carrots while being juiced by the blades.The biggest issue with our old juicing machine from another brand was the heat, we always had to refrigerate the juice before consuming it as the machine would heat up anything that was being juiced. This machine does not and means you can juice and consume straight away as it is already at a good temperature.Heat aside, flavour is another important thing, if a machine uses poor quality materials it can change the flavour of the juice. This machine has no flavour at all meaning you only taste the fruit/veg you have put through it. Almost all the parts are some form of quality metal this not only makes the machine very tough but also means there is no flavour transference from the machine parts to the juice. In other machines you can get this especially if the blade and sieve materials are not a quality metal - you would get either plastic or metallic flavour in the juice. But not with this machine.If you are looking for a quality juicer that will last a long time this is pretty much the only juice, I feel silly for even considering other machines before buying this one it is that big of a difference!

I am in love... It is the best juicer and... most expensive Ive bought. I think of it as the Rolls Royce of juicers even the humming of the motor is a sound of quality. Not noisey & offensive or grating. Easy to assemble / disassemble and 10 times faster than my last two juicers. Just cuts through vege whilst retaining the vibrant fruit colours. No slight murky brown carrot juice. So simple to clean, thought it would be a bit difficult. Loving the 2 litre quality jug that fits nicely in fridge. I juice a few times a week so worth the investment. I would definitely recommend.

I bought this to replace the omega cold press juicer which drove me mad as had to chop all vegetables into tiny pieces and took forever......This, so far, is amazing - you can chuck in whole carrots and it juices quickly and quietly. It is easy to assemble and clean. I am hand washing everything so far although you can use the dishwasher for everything apart from the blade. It looks great in my kitchen although have to say it is larger than I had expected. The jug and pulp collector are pretty big. I would definitely recommend.

I purchased this juicer as I wanted something fast, easy cleaned & easily assembled etc.It ticks all boxes.Great for carrots, sweet potatoes & the harder fruits & veg.Creates a lot of foam and oxidises juice quickly - not really a good thing. Would recommend consuming immediately or chilling in fridge for not longer than 48 hrs.Juice yield from the softer fruits not as good, so I will use my old juicer for this as it’s a Masticating juicer. I just wanted a new one as my old juicer is a nightmare to take apart & time consuming.I know there is no such thing as the perfect juicer & it’s important to purchase one that ticks all your boxes. If I could turn the clock back and make another choice, I would probably go for another Masticating juicer that is easier to assemble, wash and take apart than my existing one.

I bought this as it had a 1.5kw motor so would be difficult to burn out. Friends that bought cheaper models had issues.I am very happy with product after 2 months of use . Very efficient and easy to clean and keep clean .Carrots , apples , oranges a breeze to juice .Highly recommend product and Amazon

ProsI think this Juicer machine is very good juicer and well made, most important thing to remember is, only press gently down on the feeder when feeding fruit item into the shute like apple and any similar fruit, but grapes, strawberries, raspberries and soft fruits you wont need to press at all just put the plunger in place and let it do the job, but I have to mention the quick plunge of soft fruit being smashed up so quickly without pressing down will make you jump, so only turn a quarter turn on the the speed dial for soft fruitsConsThe only thing I found strange is, I found that when I put quarters of unpeeled apple into the machine some of the peel went straight through the outlet tube (I don't know why) and into the juice jug but you could just remove these few peel and enjoy the lovely juice

I was initially impressed with the build quality and the pulp was relatively dry on the first juice. After that, the machine's performance degraded quickly, the pulp was very wet and there was relatively large bits of fruit and veg in the pulp.After 2 weeks the machine would not turn on.It would appear the quality of the internal components (the most important) do not match the quality of the exterior.

I HAVE BEEN ON A MASSIVE HEALTH KICK AND PURCHASING THIS JUICER HAS HELPED ME FEEL A LOT BETTER. IT IS RATHER LARGE SO TAKES UP A LOT OF SPACE IN MY KITCHEN AND I IMMEDIATELY CLEAN IT AFTER USE, THE FILTER CAN BE A BIT TRICKY TO KEEP CLEAR. SOME JUICE GETS STUCK IN THE RIM AFTER USE. OVERALL THOUGH, ITS VERY STRONG AND IS DOING A GREAT JOB. REALLY GLAD I BOUGHT IT.
