Philips HR1861/00 Review
I love my Philips HR1861/00. I bought it because I wanted to drink more fruit juice for my health. Of course, I could have bought a normal blender, but I knew that I would have to add water and sugar to make juice with a traditional blender. With Philips HR1861/00, you use only fruits, so it is healthier.
Another advantage is that juice made with this juicer tastes better. When I made carrot and apple juice with a blender, I could not finish it, because I didn’t like the taste of carrot. Now, when I make carrot juice(without apple or sugar), it just tastes fantastic. I usually mix carrots, apples, lemons, oranges, and cabbage (cabbage adds pungent taste, which is not very nice on its own, but okay when you mix it with other fruits or vegetables). In summer, I use watermelon a lot, and when I can find pairs, I use them, too.
Another major selling point of this juicer is the fact that it is very easy to make juice. You don’t have to peel and remove the core before you make juice. You just wash them, and, if they are too big, cut them. You’d better remove the skin of orange though, because it tastes bad. Once you are done, you need to wash it, which takes a few minutes, but I guess there is no way around this particular chore.
This juice make juice by breaking down an fruit, then use centrifugal force to extract juice. That’s why the juice made with it tastes so good. The problem with this approach is that you cannot extract the juice 100%, so you are wasting a little bit of juice. I think more effective machine will extract 5% more juice, but that’s quite negligible amount, I guess.
I paid around 70 euros in Germany for this machine, but it seems the price is higher now. It is an excellent machine that can improve your health, and make your life more pleasant. I highly recommend it.
