Magimix 18045 Le Duo Plus XL Juice Extractor, Black

I have a Vitamix which is unrepeatable when it comes to blender making smoothie, soup, dip, grounding flour, crushing ice cubes etc etc. it's made in USA. A bit noisy but I know when I switch it on that this machine is going to deliver.But then Vitamix doesn't do clear juice, which sometimes my family would like to have on their breakfast table, ie apple juice, orange juice etc.I have been under the impression that Magimix is a trustworthy brand so it went for this machine.Well, after one juicing experience I decided to call it a day with this machine. It has 400w power (which was overlooked when I bought it) and is way too slow to produce juice. Also the citrus press keeps pinching a hole on the fruit, and makes it hard to completely extract juice out of an orange. All pulp was in the mash and it got slower to produce juice when it was nearly full.The good part is that it is small and reasonably stylish, but as a juicer it's less relevant. Sadly has to be sent back.I've had a Philips 1871 juicer for ten years and it still works ok. Just a bit bulky. So might looking at a newer version.When it comes to engineering,no offence French chic doesn't work.Good point for Amazon - superb logistics and customer service.

Only had it for a few weeks but I use it on a daily basis and it is great.I had bought a Heston Blumenthal Nutri juicer but I had to return it as it started to cut into the plastic lid. Got this as a replacement after watching video comparisons on Youtube, which I would recommend for anyone before buying a new juicer. Check out eu juicers on youtube.This has a citrus press, a coulis/smoothie maker as well as the juicer. Takes whole apples although I prefer to 1/4 apples before putting them in.This is a sturdy, heavy machine and it is quite tall when all put together and it has got good safety features.The juicer does not have a pulp collection bin, the pulp remains in the machine and you have to empty it out every so often but it is easy to do as the pulp is so dry. When using the coulis maker there is virtually no pulp waste.The cleaning is much the same as all juicers apart from the juicing basket itself which is slightly harder to clean than the cone type ones but it is well worth the extra effort required

I have used a Magimix juicer (previous model) for 10 years. It was looking a bit tired and some parts needed renewing so I upgraded to the new model with its updated benefits.It wasn't as good as the original. The pulp was much wetter and I was wasting a lot of juice. The new enlarged chute wasn't really big enough for a standard apple and also got blocked and trapped fruit and vegetables in the groove. I have returned the item and gone back to my original

I don't think the level of juice extraction is as good as some other brands, the pulp is moist indicating that not all juice is extracted. Would expect better for the price. Have used a cheaper phillips model which extracts a lot more juice.

The juicer is quick to use and easy to clean. Creates top quality juices. Capacity of 0.7 liters a bit on the small side, and it's quite expensive. In summary we would recommend it (couple household).

This is an above average juicer. I like the fact that it doesn't take up too much space and is not too bulky. However it's quite difficult to clean in some areas. The fruits are not as dry after the extraction.

Really heavy and a total nightmare to clean. On top of that I had to use so much fruit and veg to create just a little bit of juice. I returned it at the end. Either there was something wrong with my particular machine or maybe juicing is just not for me.

Amazing juice extractor. However, needs to be handled carefully as one of the centrifugal pieces broke just after a few weeks of use. Ordered a replacement part and haven't had an issue since. Been using it for over 2 years now.
