Philips Hr1949/20
so, if i take the time to write a review, it means something.
i've been thinking for a long time about what to buy, centrifuge like my girlfriend's at home, smoothie blender, ... then i came across this model by chance.
not the cheapest, and expected delivery time in march, ... but sooner than that ;-)
the first impression, all very robust and valuable parts, quickly assembled and put into operation.
cleaning is done in 5 minutes (rinsing), no corners and edges from which you have to pick out leftovers.
the leftovers in the "waste container" were subjectively very dry, so the press should work very effectively in my opinion.
the only thing that almost went wrong was the first start-up. the machine just wouldn't start. my first assumption was that it was a safety circuit, and it was: the waste container was not properly engaged.
all in all, i'm very satisfied. let's see how long it lasts.
first tests: whole apple slices with peel, ginger with peel, banana without peel, whole carrots, the unit eats everything without a murmur ...
I still have to play a little with the ginger dosage - reduce it.
much joy with this device
Pro
Perfect for daily juices, beetroot, carrots, fennel, vegetable purée, peppers, apples, pears, etc.
A little less convenient for soft fruit and vegetables, as you have to alternate between hard and soft. The pulp outlet gets blocked and you have to stop the machine to clean the passage.
Very good machine, efficient, quick and easy to store.

Very compact and space-saving. That was the main criterion for our small kitchen.
The juicer looks very good. And the juice has a very intense flavour and is otherwise very tasty. Tastier than usual. However, the yield is quite low compared to other juicers.

I bought it for grapes and it just about fulfils expectations. After every 300g of grapes it has to be cleaned because the sludge clogs everything up. But from 300g of grapes it produces over 200g of juice (more like a smoothie) so it has its advantages. For me it is only annoying when I want to process 1-2kg and the juice becomes so thick.

Works on carrots but not blueberries…
