Am looking to invest in a good juicer, I will be using it everyday (for fruit and veggies) so its gonna need a good motor. Nearly bought AWT one but am I just paying for the name? £100.00!!! I dont mind investing if its a good one, but am worried I might spend out only for the thing to die after a few months. Is anyone on here using one that they can fully recommend please.

Many thanks. Kind regards. Marie Big Grin Big Grin

I have answered this twice but they have both been deleted. Are we not allowed to recommend a brand name? Frown

Hiya Gaye, Hope your well, thank you for answering my question but as you say maybe not allowed to recomend brand outright Confused So maybe you could try giving me a clue, e.g. "Sounds like" = ? I dont understand why your posts are being deleted. Thanks anyway. Regards. Marie Big Grin Big Grin

Hi lovegrub I have the AWT juicer and must say it is a very good juicer but I do find it hard to keep clean as the main blade in the middle cannot go in the dishwasher, so all I can say is bear this in mind if you only juice small amouts every day there are a lot of bits to clean.

Hi Marie,
Lets hope third time lucky! All I said is that if you scroll back there is lots of good helpful information on these boards about juicers and I really enjoyed reading them all before deciding to invest. Some folk even said they regretted buying one and hardly used the machine and others query the value of the fibre/vitamin content of the produce once it has been juiced.

Thne I saw a TV programme using six different machines putting through the same quantity of produce and measuring the volume of juice you ended up with. The difference was amazing. I bought the one that came out tops in this test from UK.juicers.co.uk - L'Equip 110.5 which is within your price range and has a six year manufacturer's warranty.

I dislike citrus fruits juiced through it, even when strained, because of the bitter peel and although easy to clean it is a pain. Neither does it take whole apples as some do but this is not problem to me. It is smaller and neater than some models but has a powerful motor and looks attractive out on the worksurface. Have no knowledge of the AWT machine which I am sure is good. Cheeky

Well I haven't got an AWT juicer but I bought a new kettle recently and really didn't want stainless steel. I know they look great when all polished up, but with a family who really don't worry about the shiney, pretty surface, I just couldn't face the drips and the "filling up" splashes every time I looked. So, I went for AWTs kettle because it is silver grey and black and did all the boiling techniques Big Grin required of it. Well it only lasted a couple of months before the on/off button broke off.

I also bought the matching toaster. That works fine if you like your bread toasted on the bottom half only. It actually boasted about being a "deep" slot toaster.

Eek

But having never had anything before or after, I can't say about the juicer but just felt a bit let down by spending sixty or seventy pounds on stuff to line a skip with.

Hope you experience is a better one.
