Juicers provide an easy way to achieve your five-a-day and they were, of course, a big hit in 2015…
HOTPOINT SJ 15XL UP0 SLOW JUICER
Hotpoint’s latest model will see the trend continue. The basis of this model is that the bladeless technology and low speed motor (50rpm) will help you get more nutrients and vitamins from your juicer as the fruit and veg go through a more gentle process allowing more vitamins and nutrients to be squeezed into your drink. On top of that, there is less waste produced and Hotpoint estimate you’ll get 30% more juice from this model than others on the market. £119.99 from www.amazon.co.uk

And the Multifry’s capabilities don’t end there; cook up a batch of stew or risotto, or make your own homemade pizza using the pan function or the air grill function. £259.98 from www.delonghi.com
