Advantages: Very fast efficient way of making healthy tasty drinks Disadvantages: None
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 £100 and bought it. It is easy to use, very easy to take apart for cleaning and re-assemble.

The shaver is about 6 inches tall and about 2 inches wide so it fits in the palm of your hand.
