I took delivery of the Hurom juicer yesterday. I wasn’t sure what to expect and I still haven’t explored all the device’s options yet, but I will over time. To start with the box itself was heavier than I was expecting. In some ways this is a good thing. If it’s heavy then it’s probably […]
I’ve been using a centrifugal juicer on and off for the last 18 months. It’s a Philips HR1861 and cost around €100 when I got it.
