We bought the Philips juicer in a mad post-baby diet fad as an upgrade to our smoothie maker and just wish we had upgraded sooner. We found the juicer in our local Makro for £80 + VAT, which was a fabulous price. I believe they are now retailing at around £130. The juicer comes with a book by the 'Juice Master', Jason Vale. The book has some great recipes and some impressive juice solutions to all manner of body complaints. We followed his juice diet and lasted 2 days before we were tired of taking a horrific selection of vegetable based juices into work! I would recommend the juices book but the full juice detox diet is only for the brave and determined ...  Read the complete review

I do try to be healthy though I can see this is probably viewed with scepticism due to the very fact I bought myself a self-vacuuming iRobot (review written)! However I do try and one way was the purchase of the uber-cool Philips Whole Fruit Juicer. We originally had a juicer that conked out and due to all the faff you had to do to the fruit in the first place such as peeling and seeding etc not to mention the hassle of pulling the machine apart to clean fiddly blades and hard to reach areas... I had no interest in getting another. Until someone mentioned this little beauty! My partner had already been hounding me to be healthier and that 5 a day ...  Read the complete review

I bought this juicer a few months back which was my second purchase of a juicer. I had the first one for a couple of years but thought I would get an upgrade to something nicer before the summer months. I purchased the juicer online at amazon which set me back about £80 which is a real bargain. It comes with an operating manual which gives you all the details you need to know when ready to use. The design is very nice indeed which is made of stainless steel for the base unit and plastic which is transparent for the additional jug. The unit is rather large so try and ensure you have enough kitchen space to use it in aswell. The juicer ...  Read the complete review

I brought into the whole juicing phrase because of Jordan - I'm not a huge fan of hers but her ability to shrink immediately after childbirth caught my attention (I admit I'm quite shallow) and so during my 2nd pregnancy I purchased the Philips HR1865 Juicer for £169, in readiness for the big diet once I'd given birth. So, once my gorgeous baby boy had arrived, and I'd given my body enough time to recover, I weaned myself off the cakes and junk food and fired the Juicer into action HOW IT WORKS Apparently it has some centrifugal action going on - the fruit and veg get spun round fast enough to ensure all the juice is extracted. The large feeding tube ...  Read the complete review

When I was at college around five years ago, my father was diagnosed as having condition called gilberts disease. This meant that his body was unable to break down cholesterol properly, and as a consequence of this he had a mini stroke. This marked the beginning of his obsession with juicing. No piece of fruit or veg in our house was safe. If it had juice, he wanted to extract it. The Philips HR1865 is his second juicer as he managed to wear out the motor on his first. Thankfully for him though, this wonderful piece of equipment seems to be able to take everything he throws at it, and quite often he will use it two or three times a day. The ...  Read the complete review
