Philips HR1861 Juicer

This is the best small appliance I have recently purchased,Its a great price , it takes minutes to juice and no need to cut and chop up fruit, unless it a melon of course ,I'm not a big fruit or veg eater , but now I am getting my 5+ a day , I wish I had got into juicing earlier. the Juicer is so easy to use no small parts , and so very easy to clean , just rinse the 4 parts under a running tap,simple ! And its ready to use again I have just ordered a 2nd one for my daughter and her family

I've had a couple of juicers and this is definitely the best in its price range. Set up in a couple of minutes and straightforward to use. The motor seems to handle the tougher foods without problem. Disappointed with soft fruits - produces only drips from a punnet of raspberries and the fruit itself is just mushed into the other waste pulp - always juice the soft fruit first as this seems to help a little. It is quite noisy but all juicers seem to be. Cleaning takes a couple of minutes but again this seems normal across various models. NEVER leave it to do later, the fine metal sieve will bung up with dried pulp. I just rinse all the parts under the tap and only give it a good' washing up liquid wash' every 4 or 5 uses. If this is your first model, you will be amazed how great fresh juices are and how different from the carton rubbish. The juicing / smoothie book that comes with it is a great help. All in all a great buy at the price.

The philips hr1861 juicer as recommended by Jason Vale from the book 7lbs in 7 days book.
A really smooth result, not too loud and REALLY easy to clean! Myself and my wife now have really nice fruit smoothies nearly everyday as part of our trying to eat more fruit and be more healthy lifestyle.

Friends said "Don't get a juicer - waste of money" So glad I didn't listen. Fantastic juice but don't expect the impossible. It cannot change an apple (or anything else) in to 100% juice. It's an extractor and does just that - extracts the juice and leaves the pulp. Be adventurous try Jason Vales (The Juice Master) recipes. Unbelievable. You'll never want to back to the carton stuff again. Oh and the washing ups not that bad once you get in the routine, 2 minutes tops. Tip. Use a bag in the pulp bin and only empty it every other day or so. Would I give it back? Never.
