Philips HR1861 Pro Aluminium Juicer

We thought we would kick proceedings off with a look at what has long been Amazon’s best selling fruit juicer - the Philips HR1861 Pro Aluminium Juicer.

First thing to notice 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 mess about chopping your fruit before putting it down makes the process easier and more convenient. The anodised aluminium 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 almost £80 at the time writing - 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.
