A friend recommended a juicer as a way of eating fruit and veg as I said I didn't often cook for myself and concerned about getting my daily's! Hadn't got a clue as to which one suited me, but after browsing selected the Philips HR1854 as a reputable make and average price range. Well now I'm addicted to it, spend a fortune on fruit and veg and have great fun experimenting with mixes. But the important thing is I feel more healthy and energetic and have even lost 3lbs without even trying. This model is easy to use, no fiddly bits to clean and quiet and functional. I would, and do, recommend it for a first class juice service.
