Jucier Recommendations ?
Looking to buy a juicer... anyone have any recommendations ?
Im quite into making my own OJ as I have a super market next door and can pop in for fresh fruit. Im looking for easy cleaning as well. Budget £100. |

I bought a Breville juicer for £20 and I never use it. Fruit is too expensive to juice - it's cheaper to buy a carton of fresh juice.
My plan was to grow my own fruit (blackcurrants etc.) and juice them but that didn't happen. The juicer produces such a tiny amount of juice that it would costs loadsa money to buy enough fruit to get a glassful. Just calculate how many oranges you would need to buy to get 1 litre of juice. A litre of Tesco's own fresh OJ is £1.20. |

You can buy a bag of oranges for a £1, cheaper than cartons of juice.

I have a philips one. The main things you cant do is avocado and bananas as they will clog up the holes. Wash it thoroughly immidiatelly to make it easier to clean

I don't think easy cleaning and juicers go together. We had one but stopped using it in the end because it was such a mammoth task to clean it.
![]() )Just seen one on Amazon for 50 and the blurb said it is easy to clean http://www.amazon.co.uk/Andrew-James...eywords=juicer what you reckon? |

We use this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-HR18...Philips+juicer
It is the one recommended by The Juice Master. We've been using it for around 2 years and it still works great. @Twingle, a friend used this one but it broke after a few months.You also want to think about value for money - not all juicers are made the same. Whilst you may make a smaller investment initially, you will get less juice from the fruit/veg, so I'd say it's worthwhile investing in the Philips one or a Philips branded one. These ranges are supported by The Juice Master (the Gordon Ramsey of juicing, basically!). In terms of cleaning, you do need to clearn the cylinder in it, but you'll have to do that regardless of what juicer you get. We also put a plastic bag in the bin at the back where the pulp goes, so it's easy to clean. The you only have to rinse the sprout. |

I've got a juicer I've never used - hubby bought it years ago as part of a deal in Currys.
My son however, bought me a kenwood smoothie to go - now that's good! You can buy them in Argos. |

Can't remember which one I have...will check tonight. It's annoying to clean but the juice is sooooooooo delicious! And it gives you the 'pulp' / bits in a separate carton so you can do what you want with it - add it to the juice or make a face mask.
It actually looks a lot like the Phillips one (except mines all white). |

I bought a juicer in Lloyds and had to take it back as there was some design fault. This was some time ago. I got my money back.
I use a liquidiser for summer juices. I don't bother with it in the winter. |

I use a Vitamix because it blends the whole fruit into a juice so you keep the fibre. However, they don't come cheap.
A friend bought a Nutribullet to use which is a good halfway house and I now have one to take with me on my trips abroad as there's no way I could pack a Vitamix! |

I started off with £50 juicers and they are all right, they do the job but mine were a nightmare to clean. Plus I find them noisy too, but they did the job.
I then discovered the Hurom it works totally different to the lower end juicers by juicing the fruits/veg slowly and does a brilliant job. 2 big bonuses are that it's really easy to clean, a quick rinse under the tap is all it needs. Plus you also get lots more juice out of the product you're juicing, so you use less. The downside is, mine cost £269 but if you're serious about juicing, this is a better way to do it
