Healthy Eating Manual Juicer, Gift Boxed

è fantastico e ottimo per estrarre frutta....lo consiglio.

...but worth it.For my freshly made, first drink of the day, I am used to throwing some fruit in a chunky, electric juicer, but on a 6am start, with guests in situ, this little machine is just the requirement with only the light crunching of harder fruit & veg & a bit of a squeaky noise from turning the handle, audible!Albeit a bit messier in use, the resultant fresh juice is also generally less in quantity but is at a temperature I can take straight out the jug, so to speak, whereas the juice obtained from its aforementioned ‘big brother’, I have to put in the fridge a while.From the INSTRUCTION LEAFLET, worth noting here, I feel:📝 'NOT SUITABLE for LOW FIBRE FRUIT e.g. GUAVA, TOMATO etc' (last image refers).🥕 KitchenCraft🍏 MANUAL JUICER🍇 REF: KCHE JUICER🍊 12 MONTH GUARANTEE‘Made in China’COLOUR : LIME GREEN & WHITEThe rigid plastic-type, manual juicer arrives in a freshly coloured cardboard box measuring around 24.5 cm x 25 cm x 13.5 cm, so quite compact overall.The juicer is part-assembled in the box, which, for me, is usually an advantage.However, trying to work out how to disassemble (via the instructions, which have detail for assembly only) for washing the parts in the first instance, was easier said than done, especially with clockwise being to screw OFF!The first run was a bit trial & error but, like most other things, it gets easier the more you practice.The multi-lingual instruction leaflet has a numbered diagram on the front that shows the component parts supplied in the box, namely 1 of each of the following:🌿 SUCTION BASE UNIT : GREEN & WHITE🌿 JUICER HOUSING : TRANSPARENT🌿 JUICE CUP : TRANSPARENT + REMOVABLE SIEVE : GREEN🌿 PULP CUP : TRANSPARENT🌿 STOPPER : GREEN🌿 AUGER : GREEN🌿 PULP NOZZLE : GREEN🌿 JUICER HEAD : GREEN🌿 HEAD SCREW : GREEN🌿 JUICE SPOUT : GREEN🌿 HANDLE : GREEN🌿 PUSHER : GREEN🌿 RUBBER SEAL (+ 1 SPARE SUPPLIED)The BLACK & WHITE instruction leaflet is short, with the following information:✏️️ ASSEMBLY✏️️ TO USE✏️️ TO CLEAN✏️️ CAUTIONARY NOTESThe various components are not dishwasher safe, which may prove negative for some, although I do wonder why some pieces can’t go in the top rack on a low temperature/quick wash as they are all good quality and seem robust enough to cope, to me.From the box/instruction leaflet:📝..’The suction base is wipe clean only. All other parts are handwash only...’A guide to size:When lined up as shown on the box and in the stock photos currently above, a minimum of 38 cm width is required.The height with the ‘PUSHER’ in situ and before inserting any fruit or veg is around 33 cm.The BASE UNIT is GREEN with ‘KitchenCraft for healthy eating’ embossed in WHITE lettering on one side.The base is 13 cm in diameter and incorporates a 3 cm wide BLACK-coloured, rubber-type suction ring, which is activated by moving the WHITE lever situated in the middle of the BASE UNIT to the LOCK position. The LOCK position is marked on the BASE UNIT via a little embossed PADLOCK symbol and is hard to see, as it is GREEN on GREEN, but you soon get used to where it is.The LOCK facility also secures the JUICER HOUSING to the BASE UNIT.My first run was on 1 kg of last year’s apple crop.The apples needed to be cut into pieces and placed in the JUICER HOUSING, which has two levels marked on one side, namely:📝 ...a MAXIMUM level for HARD fruit/veg on the LOWER & for SOFT fruit/veg at the higher level.The instructions state:📝 ‘After every few rotations, turn the handle counter clockwise to release the juice into the JUICE CUP’.The JUICE CUP has ‘oz’ & ‘ml’ markings on the side but it is quite difficult to read these, in my experience, so my image (3rd to last) shows the end product in an extra jug for clarity before going in the glass (2nd to last image).The JUICE CUP also has a removable SIEVE that acts as an additional filter and is a functional extra but it can fill up quite quickly.The result of my first experiment was around 135 ml of freshly squeezed apple juice.The resultant pulp collects in the dinky little separate PULP CUP and does need emptying often.📝...’You can adjust the dryness of the pulp by turning the adjustable PULP NOZZLE’.My second run was with 5 x regular-sized, juicing oranges, peeled & quartered which worked with less effort on the handle turning but the resultant 375 ml of juice still had fair texture, despite an adjustment to the nozzle in an attempt to get as smooth as possible. It also made more of a mess, especially with that aforementioned reverse ‘crank’!ooOooFrom the INSTRUCTION LEAFLET (CAUTION section):~ 'KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.~ DO NOT USE YOUR FINGER TO PUSH FOOD THROUGH THE FUNNEL.~ CUT FRUIT AND VEGETABLES INTO SMALL PIECES/ORANGES SHOULD BE PEELED AND CUT INTO SMALL PIECES.~ DO NOT OVERFILL.~ JUICE & PULP CUPS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR FOOD STORAGE.~ KEEP AWAY FROM HIGH HEAT.~ NOT SUITABLE FOR OVEN & MICROWAVE USE.'[20 images attached]

I've used a few juicers over the years and they are noisy, really noisy!So I was intrigued by this manual juicer, and it certainly is a lot more quiet - the only sound being the creak of the handle and the odd swear word as you try to keep it steady!The juicer is a bit fiddly to put together and take apart (especially when compared to electric juicer, many of which are 'self-cleaning' now) but it does get a lot of juice out of succulent fruits.Cranking the handle is quite easy for things like oranges, but once you try apples or something hard like carrots then you have to use a bit of force and it takes a bit of time. Personally I like apple, carrot and ginger but this struggles with a thumb of ginger.The juicer is not easy to keep in place while you juice, and if you are applying a lot of force to juice something like a carrot then you will find that you are apprehensive about pressing too hard because you're focused on stopping the thing from flying off the work-surface! Also, I found that I had to cut things up quite small, whereas with my electric juicer I could just drop items in.In a nutshell: Very quiet, but an electric juicer is easier to use, easier to clean, and gets more juice out. An electric juicer tends to stay in place too!

I was pretty excited when I opened this, because I hoped it would be well engineered. It had good packaging and arrived undamaged. The crux of the matter is that while it looks pretty good, it doesn't function well:- It requires a lot of strength and continuous effort. Not good for someone with arthritis. And just needlessly laborious for everyone else.🍊 it's honestly much quicker AND cheaper to just use a grater or something like this  ANKKO Stainless Steel Juicer Strainer Orange Lime Lemon Fruit Squeezer Maker with Bowl Houseware for Home Bar Kitchen - it moves around all over the place. It's a huge pain in the arse. You'd need to hire someone else to hold everything down while you try and operate it.- cleaning, assembly, and disassembly take a long ass time.🥕 this contraption is especially poor for doing carrots ANKKO Stainless Steel Juicer Strainer Orange Lime Lemon Fruit Squeezer Maker with Bowl Houseware for Home Bar Kitchen

This is a well-made item, solidly constructed in a vibrant green colour and clear plastic. Construction is reasonably straightforward, there are a couple of screw threads and they are both left-hand but it is marked on the plastic. The act of twisting the collar to lock the suction pad down locks the assembly into position. I had no problem with the juicer sticking to the worktop, it is a relatively smooth plastic though.Turning the handle to extract the juice, which seems very efficient, is strangely therapeutic; it does however take some time to produce enough juice to use. As with all juicers we’ve owned washing the parts is tedious, these have to be hand-washed as they’re not dishwasher safe. Overall it does was it says.
