...I was originally planning to buy a Jack La Lanne - my original juicer purchased years before at the Ideal Home Show had given up and I had my heart set on a whole fruit juicer. The Jack La Lanne was expensive and I saw the Philips in a London store for just under Ģ100 and bought it. It is easy to use, very easy to take apart for cleaning and re-assemble. It is a very effcient juicer and the pulp which comes out is nearly dry which is a sign of a good juicer.
A couple of years later I saw one of the La Lanne models on special offer and decided there would be no harm in owning a "spare". I was very disappointed. The juicer has more parts that need cleaning after use and takes longer to dismantle. It is also noisier than the Philips.
For anyone who has seen the hyped up ads for the La Lanne Juicer, and is torn between the two...

Advantages: easy to clean, smooth shaving, docking bay Disadvantages: doesnt hold most charge, compared to others, but good enough
...Note: This is my boyfriends shaver - I wrote the review while he dictated. I don't need to use a shaver (...at least I think I don't...)
I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday as an upgrade to a previous Philips shaver. It was on offer in Boots at the time and I paid about Ģ140 as well as generating some Boots loyalty points.

The Unit

At the time it was the 2nd from the top of the range - the top of the range was the nivea moisturise one. It also has an edge trimmer and the boyfriend does not bother with moisturiser (!) so this model is sufficient.
The shaver is about 6 inches tall and about 2 inches wide so it fits in the palm of your hand.
The control is an on/off button located in the handle at the front in the centre.

Advantages: Built In Conditioner, quiet, stylish, effective Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean
.... A normal razor can only tilt backwards and forwards, whereas the Philips shaver can move in all directions. It made all the difference in my opinion. It even made the much harder places to reach like the neck, below the jaw line and around the Adams Apple. Once again, because of the swivel and pivot, it was alot easier to get closer to the skin. Though i must admit, i ended up with quite a sore neck afterwards. I don't know it this was down to me, or the shaver. I probably either pressed too hard, or didn't put enough conditioner on.
The conditioner feature is very easy to use, it is also very effective aswell. All you do is simply press down on the upper blue button, and it releases the conditioner, which is used in place of shaving foam. Then it releases the liquid, which is also good for the skin. This is good because many people get dry...
