Kenwood JE550 Juice Extractor

I first experienced freshly squeezed juice when I moved to London over 6 years back. It was a bit of a craze at the time and juice bars were popping up in all the 'cooler' parts of town. I've never really liked fizzy drinks in abundance so my fridge was always home to a carton of natural juice of some shape or form. The juices I sampled in the juice bars though were nothing like the gunk we pick up in the supermarkets and so yes I became a JUICE JUNKIE! After becoming dependent on my daily fix of juice I knew it couldn't continue as each juice purchased was costing me in the region of £3. I had a look around and realised that the easiest and ...  Read the complete review

First it was the coffee bars that started springing up in every town. Maybe it’s only me, but I could not walk down a high street without passing at least two coffee bars, if not more, often next door to one another. Having got the nation hooked on caffeine at a couple of pounds a shot the novelty started wearing off and previously packed coffee houses were seeing trade dwindle. Enter the juice bar! This one has far more health appeal and offered something that the coffee bar couldn’t. You can boil a kettle at home and make a cup of coffee but fresh juice is another thing entirely. Most of us could squeeze an orange (provided of course that we ...  Read the complete review

Juicing the occasional glass of apple, carrot, pineapple, peach or even potatoes can be quite interesting, they say that there is nothing more natural or healthy than a fresh glass of fruit juice. I call it slightly annoying, how many carrots do you think it takes to make a small glass of carrot juice? 14! I know, it's good for me, and seeing the tasty juice coming out the end is quite satisfying, and it tastes absolutely beautiful. This juicer has two speeds, the slower one being for the squishy fruits like oranges. You can't get your fingers caught either as it has one of those safety lids, just what I need! The opening to get your fruit ...  Read the complete review

It was my daughter's twenty first birthday last week, and I wasn't sure what to buy her. She had got jewellery for her eighteenth, and she is a girl who likes to shop big time, so generally has everything that her overdraught and student loan will allow! She is also always on some or other diet, be it the Atkins or the Cereal, we are never quite sure what she is allowing herself to eat at any given time. So there I was, halfway through Corrie when the advert came on for a Juicer. Hooray, just the thing for one so faddy. I searched Maidstone in my lunch break, admittedly not a huge search, but I couldn't find the JuiceLady (?) that ...  Read the complete review

This juicer is great, very efficient as the feeding tube is quite wide allowing large pieces of fruit to be juiced. The pushing down tool makes short work of each piece of fruit and makes the juicing process quite easy. Easy to assemble and a lock ensures no fingers can get into the juice :0)The juice is a very different texture to what you would get in a carton. its thicker and cloudier as most of the fruit is being used but this is much healthier. Its parts are dishwasher friendly which is positive as cleaning them in the basin isnt always very thorough. A good basic ...  Read the complete review
