The best citrus juicers you can buy

A citrus juicer is a handy accessory for every kitchen. When you want to make a jug of iced lemonade on a hot summer’s day, drink fresh orange juice for an early morning boost, or whip up a lemon vinaigrette to dress a salad, there’s nothing better than freshly squeezed juice.

 Packed with vitamins and minerals including vitamin c, lemon and orange juice have plenty of health benefits and anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Of course, fresh juice is best because you can be sure it’s 100% pure with no added preservatives or sugar. 

When it comes to choosing the perfect citrus juicer, you need to consider what you want to use it for. Arguably the most important quality is how much juice it can get from a single fruit using the least amount of effort. If you plan on using lots of citrus then you’ll need a professional quality squeezer, while smaller, cheaper models are better if you only think you’ll need a small amount of juice

Manual lemon squeezers are usually easier to assemble and clean, and they take up much less space in your kitchen. They are also usually much more affordable than electric ones, but it takes a lot longer to make a lot of juice. If you want to squeeze a high volume of citrus, then an electric one is better. However, they can be noisy and you need to change the batteries on some model.

Some people also prefer manual squeezers because they believe the juice produced tastes better or is higher in nutrients, while electric ones may heat up the juice, potentially changing the flavor and reducing these nutrients.
