Philips Juicer Viva Collection, 500W, QuickClean Technology, Drip Stop

So far I am pleased with this kitchen gadget. its very easy to use and clean, i don't tend to read the manual but with this item it super easy to figure out how to assemble it. So far i've been making ginger shots and each time the juice comes out smooth. The pulp comes out easy, I tend to clean the gadget and dry it straight away by hand. am not sure how well it cleans in the washing machine. I was so impressed that I ordered another one for my mum, I hope she'll like hers. i would defo recommend this item to anyone who'd like a simple yet efficient juicer that's easy to maintain, clean and store.

I have bought 3 of these over the years - 1 for myself and 2 for other people. It is a fantastic little juicer. I just broke it today after 4 years - I pushed a very big carrot inside and it broke the plastic Shute. I am considering buying another one right now. My only hesitation is that between us my husband and drink 2.5 litre of juice every day. This juicer can deal with that but it does need emptying at least once half way through - which only takes a few seconds. But the other issue for me is that the pulp is slightly wet (certainly not soggy) and I think a more expensive juicer might get me more juice for my money. I love how compact it is and how easy to clean. I will probably end up with this one again!

Pros: - Quite compact/small in size and doesn't take lots of space, which is perfect for one person and a small kitchen - Not too loud, I know some people have complained that it is too loud, but it is quitter than a blendtec blender so for me it is not too loud! - I use the juice pulp to make broths and mini patties/burgers or even use it as vegetables in omelette! Its great because you don't need to cut the veggies all over again. There are so many recipes out there and they are quite delicious so please don't waste your pulp. Look up recipes online (I have seen people make cookies, muffins and crackers with them as well) so take full advantage of your vegetables/fruit. For this reason I don't mind the pulp being a little wet sometimes because it keeps the patties moist. - Not too expensive - Compared to other juicers I have owned, this one is relatively easy to clean, perhaps this is because of its compact size and design. Having said that a juicer overall is not the easiest piece of equipment to clean. Cons: - There may be some bits in the juice depending on the vegetable you have used. (this doesn't really bother me but I thought its worth mentioning) - You may need to cut some of your vegetables/fruits before juicing. Again this doesn't bother me because I wanted a juicer that doesn't take too much space.

Been juicing for a year now. I have compiled below brief concise comparison of 3 models I have used. I just hot this juicer and have used only once. 1/ I used the EASEHOLD juicer which lasted about 8 months of hard use. A decent product although a couple of design features were not so good and a couple of parts failed after prolonged use. One of the plastic components in the exit spout came out. You would have to glue it back in. And the final failure thing was that the holder for the cutter became worn so it wasn't level on rotation anymore. Therefore it was no longer useabele as it would grate the plastic enclosure and you dont want to be drinking that! On the plus side it juicing everything with ease with its powerful motor but it failed in longevity. 2/ Do not buy the HOMEGEEK juicer it failed after 2 weeks of use. The motor failed and started to smoke when juicing carrots. Waste of time! 3/ That meant I bought this phillips juicer. I am pleased with it overall. A little fussy to clean the blade holder is all i can say. Otherwise being a well known brand it is clear the component parts are of a better build quality. I am hoping this product has longevity. It juices fine. its not hard to assemble. You may read one or two reviews about the clips but its probably because they did not open them correctly. its easy. there is a little fiddle you do and the clips become extend to fit easily. And make sure you press down the blade until you feel a click. so my reccommendation is as it stands spend that extra £20 and get the philips. My friend has a similar ohilips juicer and she said its lasted her 3 years! Update - after 2 years use still works fine without any issue.

Laud and efficient.

this is great - juices well and overall happy with the product - only time consuming bit of it is the cleaning !

I looked at many different juicers and read, I don't know how many, reviews. Like always, each of the juicers I checked out had "brilliant" and "one star" reviews. What one consumer liked an other didn't. In the end I put a stake in the ground and went for this one. It was very easy to assemble (and I'm not very technically minded), it has a very safe and stable stand due to the little suction feet, it is not as loud as I thought it would be and it was very easily and quickly cleaned and best of all the juice tasted great. All in all a great experience, great well made product from an established brand at a reasonable price. I would recommend it and would buy again.

Having a surplus of fruits and greenhouse produce I decided juicing was the way to go. Also, there would be the added benefit of healthy drinks for the family. I chose the Philips Viva Collection Compact Juicer based on its price and reviews of other users. By its name it is a compact unit that fits comfortably in the kitchen workspace. It has suction cups on its feet which makes it very stable in operation. All the parts (apart from the electrical parts housed in the base) are easily disassembled for cleaning and washing. The parts will go in the dishwasher for cleaning which is a boon. (See photos showing parts) In use the unit will quickly juice whatever fruit or veg is presented to it and will fill the 500ml jug provided in very little time. Of course you can place your own glass under the delivery spout if you desire. The pulp by product is collected in a special integral container which in my experience allows you to make at least a litre of liquid before requiring emptying. The pulp has a damp consistency depending on the raw material used but is easily emptied from its container and, in my case, the pulp is added to the compost heap. Operation is simplicity itself. There is only an on/off switch without any need to adjust for different materials. The opening in which the fruit/veg is inserted is fairly small (plums size) so it’s necessary to slice most materials first such as apples, pears etc. Oranges, lemons etc. will need peeling beforehand but not other items (according to your taste and preferences). There are a few things to consider when using the unit; a) the blade spins very quickly and will throw the material back through the feeding tube unless you use the pusher provided to prevent it (see photo) b) no matter how hard you try there will a little splashing on the work surface and maybe on a wall behind the unit. c) the pouring spout can be rotated upwards to reduce dripping while you empty the jug. However, if you continue juicing with the spout still turned up you will get very wet! d) don’t expect your juices to be clear liquids. In most cases you’ll get a thin ‘soup’ or a smoothie effect. You can, of course, filter out the fine sediment separately but then you are removing much of the goodness that you get from juicing. I daresay more sophisticate machines may provide better filtration for those who only want clearer liquids but that would come at a price. To date I have juiced pears, apples, tomatoes, oranges and cucumbers. Currently I am experimenting with added ingredients such as ginger, avocado, mint, lemon balm and brown sugar with varying degrees of success. There are plenty of free recipes online to try out and it’s very satisfactory finding a new favourite. As a first time (now hooked) juicer I do recommend this product.

Love my juicer!
