I want to buy a good juicer

blaque*angel

But dont want to spend up to £500 on a champion juicer, LOL

Anything that compares to it? even if Its old skool style

Try freecycle first? That way you can see how much you'd actually use it before investing in one, and you could also pass it on to someone else when you're done.

My mum has a juicer and uses it regularly when she has fruit and veg on the yurn. You couldn't persuade me to trouch it with a bargepole, eating fresh fruit and veg is the way forward. Any old veg gets turned into soup.

depends what you call good really
quick cleaning ?
whole fruits / veg
range of settings
effeciency of juicing
pretty left out on your counter?

liddl do one - it'll probably be back in store briefly in a month or so - that thrashes the competition for power and cost - but is a pig to clean.
kenwoods is quite good too...providing you already own a chef.....

but unless you like washing up of have a cheap source of fresh fruit - they are so far from cost efficient ......I just wouldnt

A second for this sound advice, I bought a Lidl one a few years back, a PITA to clean, far easier to buy juice

It has joined the toasted sandwich maker at back of the cupboard

But have to say carrot juice was nice while it lasted, just cleaning the thing got me

I got a fantastic juicer from Comet for less than £80, it does a whole apple etc. Lovely juice, juiced everything for the first week, then got really fed up cleaning the thing, it's on the top of the kitchen cupboards now gathering dust, I think I may put it on Gumtree.

I just use a blender as I know it will get used. I wouldnt waste my money on them unless you were uber serious about it. And All I do is seive my juice.

We do drink a lot of juice (especially in the summer, we've got a Philips juicer and I love it, it's powerful and so easy to clean, just a quick rinse under the tap after juicing (handy tip - rinse straight after juicing and put a carrier bag in the pulp collector then you can just lift it out and don't have to clean). We buy fruit and veg cheap from the market.

This is our model but we've got a black one, it has great reviews:

Have a look on Ebay, they're often on there cheaper because some people buy them with great intentions of using them but the novelty wears off after a couple of weeks.

I have this one too and it's great. Quick, quiet, easy to clean. I tend to juice vegetables mostly and get everything from the market so it's much cheaper than buying juice (beetroot juice is £3/litre in waitrose!). Even using supermarket veg things like carrot juice workout well under £1/litre.
You can use the pulp in cooking sometimes, it just means juicing certain things and scooping the pulp out then juicing the rest. I use carrot and orange pulp to make carrot cake, spinach and other green pulp to make savoury muffins. Otherwise compost it.
