Philips HR1861 700 Watts Juicer

The juicer is ideal if you hate eating fruit. It can juice anything at all in an instant and filters all of the peel, pips etc making it into pulp. The filter allows you to have clear or cloudy juice. Its great for kids who wont eat fruit and fun for them to make it themselves.

Before bidding on this item I researched the market for juicers - it's grown a bit since I last had one about 10 years ago! For the most part, the Philips HR1861 came out on top - it was perceived as being well made, efficient and good value for money, not to mention that it was also not unpleasant to look at. I knew what I wanted from a juicer and was happy to hunt down a good one here.
I have not been dissapointed. It is very quiet, the motor runs smoothly and with a sense of great strength, and the little details are worthwhile: the jug that is purpose-built to fit snugly at the spout (complete with a hinged lid that stops any splashing) and the lightly suctioned feet that hold the machine firmly on a flat surface are both excellent touches. I also like the permanently tilted posture of the machine as it means that no juice is left behind in the insides to drip on you when you take it apart later; it all goes in the jug. It give the appliance character, too, which is a welcome attribute if it is to sit out on the counter for any length of time - compare the dullness of your old kettle or tired toaster...
Cleaning juicers has always been a rather tiresome chore, but even that task is easier than I had expected with the Philips. Everything will go in a dishwasher but I prefer to do it by hand - I expect that over time the slightly abrasive quality of dish washing tabs or powder will dull the clear plastic parts. The main housing wipes down very easily if there's any spillage as it is made of "Professional anodised aluminium"; the real benefit of this is that it doesn't show finger marks (it's also scratchproof and corrosion resistant).
The machine has two speeds but I am yet to see the true benefit of this; I just do everything on the top speed, my thinking being that, whatever the fruit, the faster it all spins the more juice will be forced out. Scientists are welcome to commment!
My only small warning at this stage (as I've only used the machine a few times so far) is that when you put fruit into the schute it can throw a bit of pith or skin back up - you need to be quick with the "pusher" to block the opening. Or, easier still, just use the flat of your hand. Or even (though I could find no guideline for this in the Philips manual) load fruit into the schute before turning it on, and follow the last piece down with the pusher.
All in all I have only the highest praise for this juicer: it's everything I had read it to be and I am delighted with my purchase.
I recommend it highly to anyone who likes quality products expecting quality performance from them.

So easy to use - I didn't need instruction book! Powerful and quieter than my blender. Hard fruit/veg juiced with ease. Lots of juice and very dry pulp which I compost. Easy to clean - what more can I say? Just get one!

Looks very stylish and works wonders juicing fruit and veg. Low noise and very simple to use. With the capacity to juice whole fruit without prior chopping is a god send. Very easy to clean. Highly recommend this product.

After concidering all the juicers on the market i went for this one.... I was not dissapointed .. being able to put whole fruit straight in and every last drop of juice being extracted is great... want a juicer ? this has to be the one !!

Anything that keeps you healthy has to be a good thing and this is no exception! Great juicer all round - allows you to place whole fruit into the spout, quite quiet to use and produces lots of juice. The main bug bearer for most juicers is the washing up of the parts, but this one is quite easy - place it all in the dishwasher or rinse straightaway!! What more do you want?

I bought this item simply because the reviews applauded this juicer, and showed that it was very efficient and simple to use.

I have now used this numerious times and I am still amazed with it's efficiency and how easy it is to clean.

I would reccommend this Juicer to everyone and you most certainly would not be dissapointed with it!

Truly a worthwhile purchase!

You put the whole fruit in there and it takes just 2-3 seconds to get the juice. It is easy to clean, put together and get ready for next juice. I now can have fresh fruit juice every morning.

This item is my first juicer, previously I used to use a blender. However it is time to losw some weight so I wanted to cut out all the fibre from the Fruit and Veg but retain all the goodness.

So I purchased a Jucier, this juicer is great , it is very simple to use and very easy to clean. All the parts come off very easily and take minimal effort to wash. It is also very quite and very efficient, it produces a lot of juice out of the Fruit and Veg.

In addition to that it came with a very nice book detailing arious receipes and health plans. All in all, a great item and hopefully it will last a very a long time.

excellent transaction , everything fine with juicer and it is exactly like it was spesified in the auction , I can definitly recommend this ebayer

I love this juicer, its so easy and quick to use. You can place whole apples and pears in the chute and it takes no time to juice, it so fast. It also extracts a lot of juice from the fruit. Its also so compact compared to my last juicer. It is also easy to dismantle and clean, you can just run it under running water and its clean for the next time. It also fits into the dishwasher to give a real good clean every few days. I chose this one as I had Jason Vales books which are amazing and he suggested this type and he is correct in his recommendation. Well worth the money considering the amount of money you pay for 100% juice in the supermarkets and you know there are no additives in your own just pure juice. Amazing !!!

I purchased a used Philips HR1861 off Ebay for one of my son's who is a chef, I tried it first, well I would wouldn't I. What I like especially is the two speeds,great for softer fruits but also hard fruits and veggies. I also liked the idea of the jug slotting into the extraction spout, which means no spillage.
After I gave it, I almost wished I had bought myself one. I did! A brand new one again off Ebay. I am just so thrilled at its simplicity and ease of use.
I have found a new home for my other machine. No regrets all round.

if you was on holiday that explain me why we wait long time for items, but items general was new, but have scratches and same parts was used(100% I sure). any way we happy with this, and we belive you are good seller.

Does what it says on the tin.
Easy to operate, clean and reassemble.
Throughly recommend this item.
