Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Most people know about the extensive health benefits of juicing, but nobody enjoys the process of setting up the juicer and worst of all, cleaning up afterwards. The Easy Health Juicer is rugged, efficient, juices fruit, vegetables and wheatgrass and best of all, is easy to use and clean!
Do not be misled by the low price of the Easy Health. All parts of the juicer are made of tough Polycarbonate (Lexan) which is practically indestructible. The parts of the juicer that receives the most force (the tip of auger and the inside of the end cap) are made of stainless steel.
With the Easy Health juicer you will want to juice more because it is easier to use and clean. What good is a juicer if you end up never using it?
*Not suitable for tiled surfaces unless the tiles are smooth and larger than 4.5 inches/11cm square, because of the lines of grout. Requires a smooth surface to attach to.

Having used this juicer for several weeks now, I've found a couple of things out about it. Firstly, it is as easy to clean as they claim. Just unscrew it and rinse all components under hot water and it cleans up nicely. Secondly, it comes with a replacement gasket and mincer cap (both easy to lose) which is handy.
The main disadvantage compared to the more usual centrifugal juicers is that this unit requires a high fibre content in the fruit/veg. This means that you can effectively juice leafy vegetables (lettuce, cabbage, wheat grass etc) which give little/no juice in centrefugal units. You also get a very good yield from hard vegetables/fruits. This means that most root vegetables (carrots, sweet potatos etc) also give plenty of juice. The main weakness lies in juicing of softer fruits. If you try and juice fruits that are very soft and not very high in fibre, such as coxs apples, kiwis, mangos... you will find you lose a large ammount of the fruit and get puree. To be fair to the unit you get similar results with a centrifugal juicer, you'd get puree too, but it's less effort. The main strength though is that you get no foam on the juice. The juice also lasts much longer.
Overall I've found this to be a very nice unit, but as I've noted, you'll have to experiment a little to get a feel for what it can and cannot do. Once you are used to this, you'll be getting high quality juice on tap. I'd say for the price, it can't be beaten.
One little tip. The membrane around the segments in citrus fruits can clog the cap. This means that if you are juicing citrus fruits (not what it's really meant for) try and pull the membranes off the segments. If you don't, you'll find they clog the mincer cap and you eventually start getting pulp where you'd normally get juice (until you remove the head and pull them out).

I recieved the juicer and immedaitely put it together for a test run. It is very simple to put together, however relying on the suction cup alone is not wise. The metal clamp is far sturdier and requires a bit of work surface you can attach it to. I have to open a cupboard door and attach it there as I have little 'overhang' on the work surface. Not really a problem.
I started with some carrots. I found it quite difficult to do and found there was quite a lot of flex in the handle. It was also very hard work. Admittedly a lot of juice came out of the carrots. Then I had a brain-wave (as I often do), and started cutting the carrots up before juicing them. his makes it a lot easier to use. It still takes me approx 20 minutes to do 10 carrots for one fair size cup of juice. You certainly earn it. For the price I cannot complain at this.
Regarding the flex in the handle, it had caused me no problems yet, and don't expect it to.
The unit comes with spare seals to make sure the juice only comes out where you want it to so should last a very long time as I can't really see how a seal would wear out. Cleaning is easy as the whole things easily comes appart.
I also juiced wheatgrass in it succesfully but found it clogged the end a little. Not realy problem, just wind without anything in it for a minute to clear the 'refuse' hole.
All in all I am very pleased with the purchase, obviously not as easy as a motorised juicer but I know of no masticating ones under the £200 mark.

After using the Easy Health Manual Juicer for a few weeks, I'd say it's a useful item that does provide better quality, 'enzymed' juice than that of a centrifugal design (the type I owned previously). The difference is, of course, in the method of extraction:
Apart from, of course, the Easy Health being manual, as you deliver food down a wide vertical chute, it meets a sort of horizontal, bladed drive shaft, operated by manual rotation, that cuts up and carries the food forward to the head of the machine where it is 'crushed'. The juice extracted returns to a neatly designed jug, and the waste pulp is squeezed away through a small opening. Centrifugal juicers, on the other hand, have a spinning disc, covered in tiny teeth, that rip up the food as you deliver it down a chute. The separating juice is poured out into a waiting jug, and the pulp is spun to the sides of the barrel containing the disc. I've used both, and think the Easy Health design produces stronger juices.
The Easy Health is very sturdy and very well made, and fastens firmly to a work surface. It's also very easy to dismantle and clean. If the food is properly prepared (e.g. firm foods being cut into thinner slices, wheat grass delivered in small doses), the whole process is fairly quick, once you get organised. I don't experience any 'handle bending' as described by a previous reviewer. That may have been caused by a tendency to overfill the chute, thereby overtaxing the mechanism. There is a slight residue of pulp remaining in the shaft at the end, but I guess only the most parsimonious would complain about that, given there is still a full jug of powerful green, life enhancing drink to begin the day!
An added benefit of this item not so far mentioned is that it is much quieter than an electric model, only making strange 'stricken pig' noises if hard cabbage is delivered too much, too quick, which interests the cat, but wouldn't wake a sleeping household!
If you want quality juice, don't mind handle turning exercise (and have sufficient time), and don't have a huge amount of juicing to do, and if you are restricted by budget, I'd definitely recommend purchase. That said, I've just received a windfall and shall progress to a Green Star Hippocrates electrical model, but I'll probably still use the Easy Health for quiet, meditative, or camping moments!
