Philips Viva Collection HR1863/20 2-Litre Juicer (Black/Silver)

The media could not be loaded. WARNING: VIDEO IS NOISY, LOWER YOUR MEDIA VOLUME.I am editing it after few month usage and would like to put a quick comment.. If you buy it..Just REMBEMBER TO UNBOX IT ON CAMERA because the plastic of body is really brittle..make it a habit for all expensive products.. Okay so this juicer sucks last drop out of apple carrot beat etc but when i tried oranges, the pulp was too wet with atleast 25% remaining. Many people in review says re-juice the pulp but seriously after spending a lot it cant do what a hand juicer can do efficiently. Still i am not going to lower the star rating. Its still good and smashes fruits within seconds.More than the product pros and cons i will write some basic points which might help you if you are thinking " if you really need a juicer at home "I answered myself yes I need a juicer because I used to buy and consume tropicana juices in bulk quantity. But I realized its still cheaper than making juices at home and finding variety of fruits in reasonable price is not easy in India , atleast in Mumbai. Consider these points and then decide :1. Good quality 100% juices are available like tropicana , real2. Do you have enough storage space for fruits and vegetables you will keep for juicing. As it will always need big quantities for juicing.3. Do you have time and money to spend on finding good quality fruits and crush them to make a small quantity of juice.4. Even if you are health conscious, you are losing fibres if you are not eating the fruit and of course the taste which comes with bite can never be tasted in a sip.5. It will occupy some space permanently on your kitchen platform . use it or don't use it, it will sit there.6. The juice never looks or tastes good as in pack or what we drink at restaurants.7. Are you really going to use it on daily basis or atleast on weekly basis, no matter how expensive the fruits become ?? If yes then go for it .8. Some juices like, melon, water melon, strawberry you can make using normal mixer.9. I don't want to sound negative and discouraging so let me mention the main benefit of having a juicer is you can never consume 1 kg apples at once but you can certainly crush it into this juicer and drink 2 glasses or whatever juice you get .. All at once. So thats what you cant do without a juicer. Consume more and more vitamins without pulp and fibre. Also you can make juice of some fruit & Veggie skins which normally is impossible to eat & digest by human stomach. For instance watermelon skin which contains blood-building chlorophyll more than the fruit itself.Product Review++Its a good juicer for sure. It sucks the last drops out of the pulp++1.25 to 1.5 kg apples gives you approximately a jar full of juice. Screening the sludge is extra exercise.++Most of the fruits you still need to cut if they are not tiny to roll through the neck.++If you buy this juicer remember you should try to juice fruits and veggies as much as with the skin ON.++The parts made of plastic looks brittle and as people posted picture of broken plastic, I am very disappointed with this . why would Phillips use such material for expensive juicer! Why Phillips why !!++Its easy to clean but still a pain. Especially the meshThanks for reading this far. I hope this will help to make a decision. If you can afford easily, I`d say buy one and make a routine of juicing something every weekend. Despite all the exercise, its a very nice tool to have in the kitchen. Could be a very unique gift to old parents, relatives who are not able to eat & taste everything they used to.

This juicer completely justifies its cost. It's simple, ergonomic, and very, very effective. It turns fruit and vegetables into juice within seconds, and there is no mess outside - or inside, either. The pulp/leftovers are neatly contained in their holding ring within the juicer, and there is never any spillage onto the other internals of the juicer, making this a very easy-to-maintain machine. It is convenient, well-designed and makes an excellent addition to our lives.I would buy this over the masticating juicer in almost all circumstances. Why?1. It is super quick at doing its job. in 2 minutes, I have almost 2 liters of juice.2. Its neat and tidy. There is no mess to clean up. Ever. Just remove the pulp (a 2 minute job) and rinse the two elements, and you're good to go for the next round.3. Its compact (comparatively), and easier to store away.4. It has fewer moving parts, and there is almost no disassembly required to maintain it.

I bought this juicer a few months ago. I am extremely satisfied with it. I received the product after a bit of hassle, as there seems to have been a problem with the delivery system in place at that time. I received it two days after it was promised from a very courteous and apologetic delivery person. My temper immediately calmed when he explained the situation.The product itself had a few damages on the box, but I was very happy to see all parts and instruction booklet available.I have used many juicers in the past, but this Phillips viva is the most convenient yet. It makes a few liters of juice in a few mts, with very little preparation on my part. Only the cleaning, washing and cutting of very big vegetables needs to be done. I juice whole cucumbers, lettuce cut into four sections (to fit into the chute), whole radish, white pumpkin, whole carrots, etc in no time. If I have more than 750 ml of juice I need to empty the juice into another container and clean out the strained vegetables in the pulp container easily. I have put spinach into the juicer with good juice output. Sometimes the pulp is wet, in which case I save the pulp till the end and reintroduce it into the juicer to get a few extra milliliter of juice (I guess I am stingy) this is why I have given it four stars.Cleaning, honestly I add water after the juicing is done and then dismantle the machine to thoroughly clean all parts with a sponge and soap and water. It cleans very easily, the strainer of course needs a light scouring under running water, but it cleans so much better than the old juicer I had! No scrubbing and using a bristle brush. No bits of vegetables or fruit stuck in the holes or the sharp parts of the strainer! No need for a toothbrush etc. it's so easy friends!I just love my Phillips Viva juicer and highly recommend it to everyone! I have used the Breville juicer at my daughter's house in the US and of course it gives you more juice and a dryer pulp, but this one is almost as good. It cleans well, gives more juice, looks great in your kitchen, occupies less space and it doesn't cost an arm and a leg!

Easy to operate n clean. Very suitable in kitchen.

I bought this in 2019, I am not happy with this product.Since 2020 it started being horrible noisy.juice started coming out of its body.Juice waste having almost one glass of juice, which I need to extract using muslin cloth.I personally started using Sujata juicer, it's much better in all the points, specially noise. I feel comfortable to use it.Many juice vendors used it. I inspired by them. They don't use fancy juicer but SUJATA JUICER. It is worth its price.
