Philips HR1861

I was given the Philips HR1861 juicer as a Christmas present in 2006. I'd been after one for ages and was well chuffed to have finally got one. This juicer has two different speed settings, one for soft fruit and vegetables (like oranges and strawberries), and another for harder fruits such as apples. The pulp comes out of the juicer damp (but not wet), and the juice comes out tasting delicious. There is no need to chop up your fruit before placing in the juicer as the chute is plenty big enough for apples/oranges etc.....but if you are going to be juicing pineapples/grapefruits etc, these may need cutting in half. Also....if you're juicing citrus ...  Read the complete review

I have been juicing for 5 years now and found that the Philips Juicer Hr1861 is really one of the best pieces of juicing equipment that i have ever used. It contains two speed settings that juice hard or soft fruits and vegetables with ease. I'm so pleased that i no longer have to cut up my fruits first before putting them in the juicer. I can get more out of this machine because it has a larger capacity, and can make so much more juice before it needs to be emptied and cleaned. I'm also thrilled at how easy it is to clean ! You just pop the parts in the dishwasher or give it a quick rinse and it's done. Truly a great machine for the new or advanced juicer, it's ...  Read the complete review

Once I'd made up my mind I wanted a juicer I couldn't wait to get one. I'd done a bit of research on the internet, but to be honest it left me pretty clueless. There were so many to choose from. All I knew is it had to be dishwasher safe - I hate washing up!! I came across the Phillips Juicer (HR1861) in the Argos book. I had it in my mind with juicers, as with many appliances, that you get what you pay for. This juicer was priced at £99.99 on the Argos website, but it was shown as having £25.00 off, making it £74.99 (this price is still correct at the time of writing this 08/12/05). "Bargain" I thought. Not long later, I'd been to my local ...  Read the complete review

Purchased this juicer from John Lewis for £99.99 and have been very satisfied with it. I orignally purchased the attachment for my Magimix food processor - don't bother. The two power settings are ample for any fruit or veg I have tried so far (dont often need the 2nd one). The neck is a reasonable size so not much chopping is needed, dont be fooled if you have medium sized apples or grapefruits you will have to cut them in half. One thing I didn't realise (dumbo) is you will have to peel oranges and the like. The juicer will take them unpeeled but the result tastes horrible ! You will find this machine easy to use, easy to ...  Read the complete review

oh my god i love my juicer. Since getting this product i have gone juicing mad. You would not believe the things you can juice. This product is easy to use and the end result is great. Another massive bonus to this product is that it is very easy to clean. I always use to think why not just buy a smoothie or carton of juice as its much easier and far less trouble. But hey its easy and like i said easy to clean. And lets face it we all need more fruit and vegetable in our hectic lives. This is a good way to get at least two of your five a day. I have even juices hard vegetables in this this. how good is that? So if you are lazy like me this is most without doubt the one ...  Read the complete review
