Anyone got a juicer

[vondutch]

Do you recommend it how often do you use it

On the hunt for the right juicer for you and your family? Our guide to the best juicers is up to date with a wide range of tried and tested options. We hope it’s helpful!

Yes, I have a juicer, couldn't tell you the make or model. Liked the results, but expensive (one orange doesn't give as much juice as you might think) and leaves a lot of residue to clean out. Used it quite often for a fortnight or so, now lives in the cupboard beside the citrus squeezer with the dodgy screws.

Yes, no, used for a literal week and never again!!

Thought it would be great, and it is if you want to spend half your salary on fruit. You would be much better off buying the occasional bottle of innocent smoothie!

Or of you're up north and close enough to me you can have mine!

I've tried a couple. Need to live somewhere with lots of free fruit, lots of waste. Not something I've kept.

Yep - it sits in a cupboard alongside the rice cooker, pie maker, candy gloss machine etc etc and was only ever used two or three times - seemed like a brilliant idea at the time though.

Thanks I'll just leave it then haha

I went through a daily carrot juice phase and felt amazing. Its a decent investment if you have the space to store it. Makes great tasting juice. I got rid of mine when we moved house and space was a premium, and I do miss it.

I was so keen to get one but it’s not worth the faffing about to clean it so gave it away.

I had one but fuck the amount of fruit you need is expensive and cleaning it was a pig. It was in 2012ish when juice cleanses were a thing.

I have a cheap breville blender type one and it's excellent and you can clean it really easily, you just run the bits under the tap really if you do it straight away.

I blend whatever I've got and add milk, or coconut water or normal water because most blended fruit is pretty thick, and it's also really easy to make milkshakes or protein shakes of that's your thing.

They only have a small footprint compared to most juicers as well

Yes. It's an absolute arsehole to clean.

I buy reduced fruit and mutant fruit it's not very dear

Just sold mine. :-)

I do use a Nutribullet a lot tho & sometimes use it to blitz fruit.

I don't have a citrus squeezer. Otherwise this is my answer! Easier and cheaper to buy fruit juice.

I have a tree full of apples so was considering a juicer. Still unsure whether it’s worth trying to fight the crows and magpies off to get to the fruit.

so am making do with apple cake and apple in salads, with pork etc

every cloud…
