Advantages: Gets a good amount of juice from your fruit, easy to construct

Disadvantages: Bulky to store, fiddly to clean the filter

I bought this juicer in a fit of health conciousness a few years ago, and to be honest have hardly had it out of the cupbaord recently.

The juicer is relatively easy to assemble- the parts simply slot into place and the side clips clip it all into place. The feed chute is fairly narrow so whatever you are juicing does need to cut up into chunks which is a bit of a pain- in hindsight I would prefer a juicer you could just bung whole apples into (as this is probably the thing we juice most).

It comes apart completely so is relatively easy to clean. Having said that the pulp filter can take a good old scrub. It's much easier to clean if you do it straight away, before any of it has had the chance to dry on.

Overall this machine does seem to give you a lot of juice from your fruit and veg. It's fairly noisy to use, but I think most juicers are the same in this respect.

My personal favourite is apple, carrot and ginger, which is just delicious and fresh juice is hard to beat. However I would warn anyone thinking of getting a juicer that it can be more expensive than you think to make fresh juice as you need quite a lot of fruit to yield a relatively small glass of juice. However, if you have the time to make it and the cost of the ingredients is not a problem then I would say this is a nice gadget to have in your cupboard, and we have been very happy with this model.
