If you are keen on making your own fruit juices and smoothies at home, the Philips HR1861 juicer is well worth taking a look at. It uses fresh ingredients, it will save you money and it’s very well reviewed by those who have bought and used it.

It uses centrifugal technology, which means that the juice is extracted by a rotating blade and then separated from the pulp by rapid spinning. The juice is filtered off, leaving the pulp in a container which can then be removed. This is the most economical way of juice extraction, compared to masticating and twin-gear machines, which may extract more juice but come at significantly higher prices.

Those who have bought the HR1861 are overwhelmingly positive about it. The aspects that they particularly like include:-

The power and capacity of the Philips HR1861 are worth remarking on. The 700W motor on the Philips is head and shoulders above the 300-400W power of many other machines. It has 2 speeds, so hard and soft ingredients such as celery or melon can be handled perfectly.

The aluminium body of the juicer is resistant to corrosion, scratching and fingermarking so should look good for years.

Included in the deal is a useful recipe book, as well as a brush to clean the mesh filter. As far as safety is concerned, there is a system of clamps which ensure that the lid is securely fixed before the motor will start.

These features combine to make the Philips HR1861 on of the most highly-regarded and popular juicers available. You can save time, and of course money by making your own juices compared to buying them at the supermarket. The advantages are clear.
