Popped into a newly opened shop round the corner yesterday and had a lovely fresh apple, ginger and carrot juice.

Which got us thinking about getting a juicer for such nice drinks at home.

Looking for recommendations for something robust for daily juice making.

This seems to be my wife's current favourite:

That’s very expensive for what it is, not sue how it will cope with mangoes etc.

We have a cold press juicer that’s been in weekly use for over 3 years. There’s loads on Amazon. They give a better quality yield than the type you’ve posted. Can’t find ours online now.

Yeah, I thought it was a bit expensive, but was wondering if you get what you pay for.
Looked a a Philips one yesterday for about £80 and it got mixed reviews, also looked a bit 'plasticy'.

Also a couple I looked at on Amazon for £109-119 looked OK.

Would you really use it, or would it be a novelty?

It would be used, we use a manual orange press each morning for fresh orange juice so want something more substantial for other juices.

So no, not a novelty. smile

I've been through a couple and my favourite is the last one I bought which is a Waring Professional. Its made of stainless and doesn't have any corners for crud to stick. The first one was a nightmare to clean which put me off using it.

I use mine as much for marinades as juices - ginger and garlic through it create a great juice for marinading things in a zip lock bag.

The Waring seems a bit more than I wanted to spend so bought a Nutribullet Juicer Pro from Argos for £110.

Had it going this afternoon with sone lovely juices. smile

You need a masticating juicer (expensive) rather than a centrifugal.

These get more juice out and leave a dry pulp. It's what the pro juice bars all have.

Had a juicer many years ago but we dined it as the filter was difficult to clean, and I hadn't realised you couldn't put fruits such as bananas through it, but then I guess you cant put banana through any juicer? Plus everyone was telling me they were bad for you as you just get the juice and sugar and non of the roughage in the pulp.

I have a waring juicer, agree nightmare to clean if you don't use the filter papers. Otherwise it is a doddle. Mine is a centrifugal juicer but then I have had it for maybe 20 years. I think masticating juicers were not around then.

I use mine for hard fruit and veg like carrot, apple, beetroot, ginger. AKA CABG juice in my household. It is delicious.

I use my citrus press for citrus and pomegranate and blender for banana, berries, pineapple, water melon.

There are usually waring juicers on ebay every so often. I bought one for £10 once for spares.
