Best juicer?

8 replies

Thinking of getting a juicer as part of my attempt at healthier living. I'd like a fairly heavy-duty one as my last one was good considering it only cost £30, but it didn't last that long. Having looked at the more expensive ones, there seem to be quite a few and not much to differentiate between them. My mum has the Magimix one and likes it but says it's a bit of a fiddle to clean (as a result she uses it mainly as a citrus press). I want to do carrots, apples, etc, so was wondering which of the others on the market is the best?

Blenders are one the most useful tool must have in your kitchen which can help to abstract your favorite juices, smoothies, shakes, making soups, crushing ice and many more function can be easily done by the blenders. according to Zainyz there are lots of different styles and brands present in the market to choose from, but before buying any product you must know about your eating habit and then choose the right one according to your need. The blenders’ size varies from one cup to fourteen cups so you have to keep in mind the storage space as well when buying the new blender.

Hi everyone, I'm just saying I've just bought one of these and they are amazing ! it is SO quiet so I don't disturb anyone in the house as it has a quiet motor, and its incredibly good. It is £100 but it is INSANE and has kept its quality ever since click here. This person always sells REALLY good things www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321692705173?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2648

sis - just checked my leslie kenton book 'the raw energy bible' and it says: 'n.w walker, the american raw food pioneer and proponent of natural healing who helped to develop the technique of juicing...a marvellous testament to the idea that you are what you eat, dr walker lived to the age of 106'
lulupop - its 42 inches long by 34 inches high. it does stay out all the time and we have a tiny kitchen too

"the guy who helped invent juicing"?? I thought people had been extracting juice fromfruit and veg for ages and no one person could be creditedwith inventing or help invent it. The Champion does look like an impressive bit of kit though!

Thanks for that link, Shrub, it looks great. But it does look quite large. I have a smallish kitchen and worktop space is at a premium. Hpw big is the champion one? Do you leave oyurs on the counter or put it away?

lulupop- i bought the champion juicer just over 3 weeks ago and its brilliant - strange looking but easy to put together and dismantle, there are only 3 main pieces to wash. i researched juicers for months and found the gerson institute (cancer therapy) and leslie kenton (author of all the raw food books) recommended the champion as it masticates and squeezes the veg/fruit rather than using discs/blades which use speed and heat up the fruit/veg which destroys some of the vitamins and enzymes. i got mine from ukjuicers and they price matched another site for £209. also found out recently the guy who helped invent juicing lived till he was 105! i did look on ebay for ages but there was never a second hand one for sale. i don't need to buy all the so called fresh juices from shops now - and the juice taste so much better. good luck with your search
