Philips HR1861 Pro Aluminium Juicer

The Philips HR1861 Pro Aluminium Juicer has for several years been Amazon’s best selling juicer. But what is it that makes the HR1861 so popular?

First thing to notice about the Philips Hr1861 is that is has an extra large feeding tube, so if you want to stick a few whole apples or pears down there, then you can.

Believe me, not having to worry about chopping your fruit before putting it down the tube makes the whole process easier and more convenient and if you’re going to get into the habit of juicing, anything that makes it quicker and easier is welcome. The anodised aluminium casing on the Philips HR1861 gives the unit a very solid feel, and you get the sense it’s well constructed, and the rubber feet means it doesn’t jump about when you’re in on a heavy pulping session. Look under the bonnet, and you will find a 700w motor which has two speeds of operation.

The machine is dead simple to use and the jug holds a generous 1.5 litre juice. It’s not the cheapest – weighing in at around £90 at the time writing (prices do fluctuate) – but if you’re after a quality juicer, then you won’t go wrong with the Philips HR1861 Pro Aluminium Juicer.

It’s also worth noting then when you purchase this juicer, you get a free box with loads of very good recipies for juices and smoothies.
