Manufacturer's Description
This Philips Juicer gives you all the juice without the fuss thanks to its patented micro-mesh filter and powerful 700W motor. The extra-large feeding tube easily takes whole fruits and vegetables, so you don`t have to peel, core, de-seed or chop first anymore. The versatile motor with two speeds can handle hard fruit as easily as soft fruit, and because the pulp container is so large, you can make more juice in one go.

Patented micro-mesh filter
The patented micro-mesh filter squeezes out every last drop of juice - just two apples make a full glass of fresh juice.

Extra-large feeding tube
Thanks to the extra-large feeding tube, you don't need to de-seed, core, chop or peel most fruits first. The juicer easily takes whole apples or carrots, for instance.

700W motor with two speeds
The smooth, versatile 700W motor has two speeds so you can select the ideal speed for juicing hard or soft fruit.

Dishwasher-safe
The Philips Juicer has dishwasher-safe parts. You can either rinse all of the removable parts under the tap or put them in the dishwasher.

Made from anodised aluminium
The Philips Juicer is made from anodised aluminium, a stylish finish that won't mark or stain and which will keep its looks over time.

2L pulp container
You can make more juice in one go thanks to the 2L pulp container.

1.5L juice jug
The stylish 1.5L juice jug comes with a detachable foam separator for clear or cloudy juice.

Customer Reviews

A great machine...
Being new to the world of juicing, I thought I would do some research before investing in a machine. Having spent umpteen hours on the internet, I descovered so many conflicting reviews of the different machines, taht I came away feeling more baffled than before I started.

In the end, I decided to plump for thiss Philips machine, as it had quite a few good reviews, and it looked good (my thinking being that even if it wasn't great it might look good on the work top!).

So I was delighted when I got it for many reasons:

1. It makes great juice (and rather the jug supplied allows for a generous amount of juice). It makes very light work of apples, oranges, strawberries, grapefruit, carrots etc. It is surprising how much juice you get out of one apple. When I was researching, I wondered how much preperation was required... With this model, the chute is big enough for whole apples and oranges, but they recommend that you peel the oranges first (apparently the skin is very bitter), but other non-citrus fruits need no preparation whatsoever.

2. It isn't as loud as a jet engine (it's actually only as loud as my kettle - at the most).

3. It is farily compact - It only takes as much room as the kettle (maybe a little bit more), but I have a tiny kitchen, and it has fitted in no problem.

4. It's dead easy to clean and doesn't require a PhD to put it back together. It is very simple to put together, and the supplied brush for the metal thingy that mashes up the fruit is very handy indeed.

5. It gets every drop of moisture out of the fruit leaving only dry pulp in the pulp container. I had read in other reviews that it doesn't get every drop of juice, but my one certainly seems to.

6 It doesn't make mess. WHich is always good - especially as I am usually very good a making mess. the jug's lid also stops splashes.

Things it won't do:

- Startchy fruits (avocados, bananas, mango etc) but I think that goes for all of these juicers.

- Clean itself. Though it is dishwasher safe - I've just not tried that yet.

Overall I am really chuffed to bits with it, and recommend it to anyone who like me, has found it all too confusing.

Now if you will excuse me, I'm off for some more (surprisingly delicious) carrot and orange juice...

excellent for the price
I was also recommended this juicer by Jason Vale. For £75, it's very good value.

Not having to chop fruit and veg makes more difference than I thought it would, it's so easy to whizz it through. The juice does come out quickly, the jug needs the lid! I agree with another reviewer's comment that the pulp is wetter than hoped, but pushing the pulp back through again gets more of the juice out - but does negate the speed of juicing issue.

It is quite bulky and takes up a fair bit of counter space in my kitchen but as I use it pretty much every day, it's staying there!

The pulp container is large, so you can juice a lot in one go, but is so large it barely fits in my dishwasher. Putting a little bag in it makes that unneccessary. I had thought it a bit of a pain to dismantle and clean but I was making life difficult for myself and Mr Vale showed me an easier way.

All in all, an excellent juicer, and highly recommended.

Excellent product
Like most I did quite a bit of reserch before buying this juicer, and most reviews seemed to rate it very highly. it is the first juicer I have bought, and I am really pleased with it.

It is fast, takes whole fruit and copes fine with things I thought it might struggle with like pineapple. The fresh juice tastes fantastic, and all the parts go fine thought the dishwasher too.

It is easy to clean without using the dishwasher too, if you just put all the parts straight into soapy water after using and use the provided brush to clean the part which chops the fruit.

Good size of pulp container, even making juice for 6 I only half filled it.Suction cups fasten it securely to the worktop.

It also looks very sleek and stylish. Highly recommended.
