Philips Avance Collection HR1922/20

Nice design but some of the parts could have been made with better quality materials

I've tried a few juicers and they are all limited by the fact they are a faff to clean, no matter how good they are at everything else you find after a short period of owning one you tend not to get it out to use because you have to clear up afterwards. This Philips juicer promises it only takes one minute to clean. Really? It is one of the best for cleaning as it comes apart easily and washes well, but unless you are racing to beat the clock (in the Philips testing labs!) it realistically takes at least 5 minutes to clean and there's the problem.... One cup of juice, a whole load of mess and 5 minutes to clean up. We've had this one for a couple of months, it's been used twice, my 6 year-old son loves it, but ultimately I don't think we'll get enough use out of it to justify the cupboard space it's using up.

This is my third Philips juicer. They have all been great but this is the best yet. It is easy to assemble and disassemble. Easy to clean and produces much more juice than my older versions. It is not too noisy either. It is quite big, but the small versions are pointless as you have to cut everything up. With this, just throw in whole apples and it deals with them fine. It comes with terrible instructions that just have minimal text and some images that make no sense, but the juice reciepe book is ok. In the past I had to purchase spare "blades" from an online store which were easy to come by, so not too worried about spares. The jug has been improved over old models too. Overal a well thought out juicer that does everything it should with ease.

I absolutely love this juicer, it just works so well. The amount of juice that is extracted is amazing and the pulp that is left is not far from dry, not even a little amount of juice in it. It also juices the fruit and veg with easy, rips through them all in a matter of second. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars as that how good I think it is. Cleaning is a breeze, I actually didn't think it would be as quick and easy as was made out, I have found the best was to clean it is to put about 3 pints of warn water through it one at a time whilst its running and the its almost clean after that, then parts just need a quick rinse under the tap to remove any sticky residue. If you want a great juicer I don't believe you can go wrong with this one.

Really impressed with this - looks great, and a nice solid build. The motor has been ripping through all the fruit I've tried with ease, and my favourite feature is you can control how much fibre gets through into the finished drink. Personally I prefer my juice with bits, so this is a nice upgrade over my previous juicer which tended to filter pretty much everything out. This is a pretty large and serious machine - big enough that you can fit entire apples into the juicing funnel, so if you are only going to use this occasionally you might opt for something that takes up less kitchen space. For anyone else who wants to get regular use out of a juicer, this is highly recommended.
