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.

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 ...
