Advantages: Smooth, easy to clean, quiet, reliable and looks great
Disadvantages: Its quite large
This is a wonderful Juicer, I bought mine on Amazon for £89.99 and it was delivered without too many issues. The box is fairly large and the machine comes with a book by the Juice Master which is fairly large and a great introduction to the world of Juicing.
The machine itself looks fantastic, sleek and silver, its large and takes up a decent amount of space on the kitchen sideboard but it is well worth it.
There are a number of items in the juicer which need to be cleaned before use, including blades and choppers, there is a jug that also comes with the machine that you use for the juice to fall into, it includes a small divider which ensures no lumps go through it.
The machine is decent as all the items used can be put in the dishwasher to be cleaned which is really convenient, although its also really easy to clean by hand.
So, to use the machine, you switch it on, take off the large black tube at the top, ensure the jug overlooks the pouring nozzle and start feeding fruit into the main tube, you then push the black tube down to squash the fruit (or vegetables) and then wait for the juice to come out. Its not too loud and works really easily, its worth chopping larger fruits like Pineapple to get the best out of it, and you need a reasonable amount of fruit to make the juice, but its so worth it, the juice is fresh and every combination i've made has tasted wonderful so far, it is a real energy boost and a great, easy way to get your 5 a day.
Its reliable, quiet, easy to use and I think it will be a good long term investment for me.
Update:
We“ve had this model for nearly a year now and it still does a fantastic job, it is easy to clean, gets through all kinds of fruit and vegetables with ease and also scoops up the waste to ensure you only get the freshest parts of the fruit. It still looks great and while it takes up too much space on the sideboard, I think it was well worth buying and can see us getting at least another 2-3 years use out of this excellent top of the range juicer.
