I'm treating my self next month, to a juicer.

Have done considerable research and it seems the slow turning auger type is the one to go for, high juice yield, and the method
does not destroy many of the nutrients as other processes do.

It seems the Hurom is a well thought of machine , but at £300 it needs to be.

Anyhow , I've spotted this : http://www.matstonejuicer.biz/index.htm

Which seems very capable, and a storming warranty as well.

So, has anyone any experience of these "auger" type juicers, or indeed , of this particular model/brand?

Ta!

I have the exact same thing and it's great.

This morning I juiced two carrots, an apple and a stick of celery for my AM energy hit. In the winter it's oranges (these need to be peeled but no biggie), a thumb of fresh ginger and a red chilli.

It scores above centrifugal juicers for the range of produce it can juice, ie. woody vegetables, plus it gets more juice out. I also use it (with the non-juicing screen) to make pesto.

Surely I wasn't the only one to laugh at the 'The bio auger ' picture?

I think you'll like it - it will juice anything. Try beetroot and apple.

However you'll end up with lots of veg / fruit pulp you'll wonder what to do with. I compost mine.

Don't know the juicer in question, but bought this about 12 years ago http://www.nisbets.co.uk/Waring-Juice-Extractor/CE...

It's used twice a day and has never missed a beat. There are paper filters that you can use which makes cleaning pretty easy. If you look around it can be got for a bit less than £300.

I have the same and love it although I don't use it quite as much as you do!

Bought a juicer on Saturday and I'm very impressed so far.

We go through a lot of fresh juice in the house so decided to try making it ourselves. Love the way you can just drop apples into this thing!

We also bought the JuiceMaster book but so far we are just making our own up biggrin
