Advantages: Not many parts, easy to use.

Disadvantages: Narrow funnel for fruit so you have to cut up some fruit first.

I bought my L'Equip 110.5 from UK Juicers about 4 years ago with an amazing 6 year guarantee and it's been in use several times a week since purchase.

It's a great little centrifugal juicer, that easily makes a pint of juice from say five carrots, an orange, a lemon segment, and perhaps some fresh ginger (my favourite recipe.)

The ejected pulp is quite dry and tastes fantastic!!!! It's easy to put together and use but I recommend cleaning immediately after use as if you don't do this, it'll be more difficult.

All the parts needing cleaning pop in the dishwasher but the conical "shredder" that breaks up the fruit really needs a scrub under a tap first. The pulp is great on cereal to give you the healthy benefits of fibre. It's reasonably quiet in use.

The only downside is that the funnel down which you pass the fruit is quite narrow, so I cut carrots into halves longitudinally and carrots into thirds. It would be a time saver to have a wider nozzle and not need to cut up fruit.

The first machine packed up after two years but a quick call to UK Juicers and they sent a replacement. The plastic hooks that hold on the lid gave up and again UK Juicers send a pack of replacements but I've not had any further trouble.

I'd highly recommend the L'Equip 110.5 and UK Juicers but would quite like to try the Jack La Lanne Power Juicer as it gets good reviews here and has a wide funnel.

Summary: A quality juicer that looks great in any kitchen
