The juice bar has two power outlets, one which houses the gitrus press and the other which interchanges a centrifugal juicer and a snmoothie maker. All parts are easy to clean and the blades are all made from the highest grade of stainless steel.
Customer Reviews
Not all that great.
I have no real problem with the juicer or blender, although, I seem to have a build up of unpulped fruit at the bottom of the blender making the handy tap somewhat useless, but that I can live with. The real problem for me is the Centrifugal juicer, it doesn't clip in easily and is even harder to remove. Once removed I'm left with a fruity mess where the juicer sits. It seems to be leaking out from the collector point into a hole which doesn't seem to have any purpose except making a convenient escape for the juice which then proceeds to leak out of the bottom onto the kitchen work surface. A bit worried it will start to smell and become unhygienic. A big thumbs down for a fairly expensive piece of equipment
It's good, but it's not right!
I bought this at the weekend in the hope of getting more fruit into my life, and I have to say I am dissapointed with it's performance. In the book that comes with it, it says that you can use ice and frozen fruit- not so! The fruit does not crush and blend, but instead gets stuck at the bottom of the blender under the blades. I thought the blades would be razor sharp and strong but obviously not. A real let down.
Glitchy and not that easy to clean
I got this for Christmas for the girlfriend. To date we've found it not to be the bees-knees we expected. The Citrus Juice Extractor on the right-hand side of the unit is tempermental. It will work sporadically, oft times it will make a noise but the juicer will not spin. The spout of the Citrus Extractor collection tray is not easy to clean at all, leaving a black scum after a few uses (probably not too hygenic).
The blender is working fine, though, although the lid will slide clock-wise after blending for a few seconds, causing the safety-latch to disengage, thus switching off the blender. A little annoying.
It is handy to have both citrus juicer and blender together but it's not quite there yet. And it's a shame you can't buy it in chrome, but that's just being picky!
