Philips Viva Collection Compact Juicer, 1.5 Litre, 500 W - Brushed Aluminium - HR1836/01

I really don't know why anyone would give this product less than five stars - I can only think this is because they are not used to using juicers and so don't realise just how good this is, how easy to use and what great value for money. I bought this for my son (I have had a couple of juicers and now have a very expensive masticating one which is great but too slow and faffy for a student). This product is incredibly easy to put together, use and clean. The suction pads are very strong (some people, unbelievably, have criticised this!) which is important because this is a powerful machine and you need the pads to keep it still. People have also criticised the fact that the little spout can, very usefully, be upturned after you've finished juicing in order to stop drips onto the work surface - people have complained that they've forgotten to turn it back down again and they've started the machine and been splashed. Basically just don't forget to turn the spout back down! Other people have commented on drips at the top as you put veg and or fruit into the chute - these are drips that come from taking out the plunger inbetween the pieces - if you're careful this just doesn't happen or is so minimal it's like dripping a tea bag when you take it out of your cup - in other words just not an issue. The product is so easy to clean - just put water in and whizz it for a few seconds and then dismantle the machine and empty and rinse it and give the metal part a gentle brush with a dishbrush- it's SO easy compared to many other juicers. Basically I'll be buying one of these for myself once my son deprives me of it by moving out:)

I can only assume any negative reviewers have never owned a juicer or have a faulty one, this is amazing for the price!Super easy to assemble (literally just put the lid on), very small footprint/easy to store, works SO quickly and no harder to clean than any other juicer. Glad I didn't spend £300+ on a replacement, this is just as good as the fancy versions. Fingers crossed my Joe and the Juice bill for 2022 is somewhat lower now

I own the bigger version of this but bought the smaller one to take to my parents as I stay there a lot. I am very impressed with this little juicer & perfectly meets my individual juicing needs. As it is compact it can sit out on the worktop & I find this makes it used more often. It obviously has a smaller shoot so you have to chop things a bit smaller ie quarter a celery stick & quarter apples but the juicing power is good & the pulp left over isn't very wet. It is really easy to clean if you do so straight after making the juice as if you let it dry on its much more difficult but you can throw the washable parts in the dishwasher as well.I'd highly recommend this for anyone who is a lone juicer !! If you juice for a family I'd recommend the bigger version of this one.Also it arrived quickly with the great service I always get with Amazon.

Nice and compact, easy and quick to clean - just swill all the parts under the tap. Easy to take a part and put back together. Looks good and you can see the great colours as you juice, through the domed lid. However, you can not fit a whole, average sized apple through the feeding tube and it does struggle with foods such as spinach, sugar snap peas, ginger, mint and basil. Noisy but fast. This juicer will not deal with retention of nutrients as well as a slow juicer but the price is accessible for those new to juicing and the juicer doesn't block up like slow juicers often do. I really like this juicer because it doesn't take up much room on the work top, is quick for juicing before work in the morning and is also quick to clean.

I used to work in Juice Bar and the one we had was amazing quality and was made for constant use. It was brilliant. This one is smaller (and I'm also sure that it's also cheaper) and work almost as good. It's almost mess free and looks really cute in my kitchen. Used it few times in last two days and it works as I hoped it would. The handles on sides are plastic and seem fragile but so far they are working so maybe it's just my preference that they could be metal?The only thing is the storage. It is quite small and you can only do about two glasses of juice (about 400ml each) at one time. It's not a problem for me as I wanted the juicer to be small so can stay on my worktops at all times and wouldn't need to put it away so it depends on what is important for you.Overall I'm happy with my new kitchen gadget!

Ive been using this juicer for nearly a year now, I make juice nearly everyday and it really gives me so much happiness and health. I practice mixing different ingredients and it always has enough capacity for 500 ml measuring cup.It is a small personal juicer, highly good quality and very easy to clean. I always wash it with water before putting in the dishwasher and it comes out perfectly clean.Try mixing these: apple, pear, mint and lime :) when doing leafy greens add them between the apples and it will get juiced just fine!

A friend of mine loaned me her very expensive juicer a few months ago, and I loved it so much I wanted my own. But making only one juice a day and having limited space I wanted a smaller one. Read a lot of reviews and finally chose this one. It's very powerful, really easy to take apart to clean, and all the juice seems to be extracted from the fruit and veg because the remains are very dry. It's actually easier to use and clean than the expensive one, and being able to turn the nozzle up to stop it dripping all over the counter is genius. It doesn't get out ALL the fruit bits, but if that means I have to spend an extra 2 mins coring an apple before juicing that's fine. So pleased with this. And it's so small and light - brilliant!
