Magimix 14188 LE DUO

...efficient juice extractor like the Magimix Le Duo. I’ve had mine for a couple of months. So I’m confident it’s unlikely to join the once-used and swiftly-abandoned pasta maker, sandwich toaster and Henry Cooper footspa in the back of the kitchen cupboard. It has proved itself a sturdy, well-designed and indispensable source of fresh and interesting drinks. Like, I guess, most other juicer bores, I was tempted by the idea of ingesting extra nutrients ...
...vegetables inside me. I chose Magimix mainly because this French manufacturer’s food processors and other kitchen gadgets have a reputation for no-frills reliability and build quality. Even better, their products bear no sign of endorsement by Anthony Worrall Thompson. The Le Duo lives up to this reputation. The heart of the machine is a base unit about seven inches in diameter containing a 250-watt induction motor (this means it weighs a hefty ...

Review of Magimix 14188 LE DUO

...The Le Duo by Magimix meets all my needs, as it is both a juicer and a citrus press. It is expensive and is currently priced at £113.00 from Kelkoo. I have had mine for about three years now and paid £99.00. You do get a part and labour guarantee covering three years and a motor guarantee covering 12 years included so I hope to have a few years of use yet for my money. Magimix is a well-known household name and has a good reputation for producing ...
...I felt confident that the Magimix Le Duo could fulfil the claims made by its manufacturer and would be able to juice literally any fruit or vegetable I fed it. Well so far it has lived up to its promise and for the sake of research yesterday I even fed it some grass just to see what if anything was extracted. No honestly I am not taking the pith I really did do this. I got a small glass of pale green juice but didn't fancy trying it out for taste. ...

...consider at the end. Magimix is a reputable French company that was one of the first to make the food processor. It is well known for its reliable, robust, and long lasting quality products. Today, Magimix makes a host of other products in addition to food processors; such as; ice-cream makers and juice extractors. With this information at hand I had no doubt I was about to start a long lasting relationship with my French partner; Magimix’s ...
...Unlike some juice extractors, the Magimix Juice Extractor gives a clear juice with no scum on the top, so there’s no need to chew your carrot juice! The juice is extracted by centrifugal force and leaves the pulp in the stainless steel extractor basket. If you are extracting large quantities of juice, be sure to empty the pulp from the basket if it gets too full. Throughout operation, the machine was silent and just had a gentle hum to it. ...

At £99, it was virtually the most expensive model I could find – the next one up was an industrial grade model, and probably more powerful than I required.

It’s great fun when you first have a play with it, especially when you juice different colour fruits and watch the vibrant colours start to appear.

Review of Magimix 14188 LE DUO

I’ve had this neat little machine sitting and working in my kitchen for a few weeks now, and it does still get used at least twice a day. With winter approaching I decided that vitamin-packed fresh juice was the best way of keeping those sniffles at bay (it’s a lot more convenient to drink a glass of juice than to munch through 3 apples or 5 carrots). And it’s delicious too! You will, however, not save any money. Homemade juice ...

As an example of cost: one small pineapple, cost 60p in the market, made a pint of juice. 6 small Oranges, cost 50p, also made 1 pint of juice, The model I chose after a some research (and inspired by the OPs on CIAO) was more expensive than most the juicers available on the high street, though it’s price is mid range if one includes the available high-range juicers than ...

Review of Magimix 14188 LE DUO

The juicer has its pros and cons. The pros: As centrifugal juicers go it is extremely efficient at getting juice out of practically anything you throw at it and the motor is very good and will last a very long time. This jucer comes with a citrus press attachment which sits on the main basket and works very well, but that is it. The only thing the booklet would tell you that is not easy to immediately figure out is try not to let the machine get ...
...It is very easy to clean. The central basket pops out easily. Empty the contents, wash and reattach. Very straightforward. The cons: Unlike many other centrifugals it doesn't spit out the pulp into any seperate basket, this means that the more you juice the more frequently you will need to empty the basket. A little bit annoying, but is really not a problem if you are looking to only juice about 2 decent sized glasses worth of juice in one go. ...

Review of Magimix 14188 LE DUO

It used to be "eat five portions of fruit & veg a day", Nowadays our soil is so dreadfully depleted in Minerals that this is simply not enough. The answer is to juice between meals! I have had my Le Duo now for about six months & bought it after researching all there was about juicing & juice extraction. If I could have afforded it at the time I was tempted by the Green Star but at over £350 felt that the advantage of being able to juice weatgrass ...
...let's talk about competition. There are plenty of cheap centrifuge juicers around the £20 to £50 range & i had one from Kenwood. Tiny motor, tiny capacity, tiny chute & frothy juice. These juicers are fine for the occasional apple juicer! Go up in price then you'll get to the Breville or Antony Worral Thompson Juicer which is similar in price but only a standard 1 year warranty. The main difference is the pulp ejector & from the research i did this ...

Review of Magimix 14188 LE DUO

I requested this juicer for a present after reading a good review in a magazine. It was to replace my aging Kenwood juicer which I felt never extracted all the juice as I was always left with wet looking pulp. The juicer has two tops, one for extracting juice from fruit and veg and the other is a citrus press. I wasn't too worried about having the citrus press, but it does work quite well. The fruit or veg has to be cut small enough to go into ...
...against a sort of grater then the grated material is spun at high speed to extract the juice. The juice runs down a chute on the front of the machine into the glass or jug that you must have in place to catch it. When the chamber gets too full the machine starts to vibrate its way across the worktop and must be stopped and emptied. The machine is very heavy so this doesn't happen for a while unless you are juicing a lot of fruit with a lot of skin ...

...Kenwood juicer. The Magimix LeDuo works like a large centrifuge, spinning the fruit at high speed and extracting the juice through tiny holes in the outside of the spinning drum. The simple design makes it easy to clean, and Magimix even provide a tool for removing fruit pulp so that you can continue to use your machine without having to wash it all up each time you empty the pulp. EASE OF USE Extremely easy to use, the juicer can cope with 500g ...

The apple juice was so good, I am intending to buy a crate of apples in the autumn. You need to chop the fruit, but you don't have to remove peel, apples cores, stalks, etc. since they are all removed from the juice in the sieving process.

Review of Magimix 14188 LE DUO

After trying a friend's juicer, I decided I had to have one myself. After extensive research online, I went for this one, and was definitely not disappointed. Although it was tempting (as a first-time juicer) to go for a cheaper model, it would have been a false economy. Having spoken to other friends who juice, my juicer seems to compare very favourably in terms of juice yield, and, if I had gone for a cheaper option, I think I'd now be spending ...
...more fruit to get the same amount of juice. Also, if you shop around online, you can cut about a tenner off some shop prices. In terms of how much juice it gives - to give you an example, using an average sized glass (about three quarters of a pint or just under) and adding a couple of ice cubes to chill the juice, then I find that two apples and a small-ish bunch of grapes (15-20 at most) gives me a full glass. Making the juice and cleaning the ...

At around £100 this is an expensive juicer but I challenge you to wear it out. Other juicers I've used have burnt out over a period time. I doubt this one ever will. It is a weighty beast with a direct drive motor of unquestionable power. They guarantee it for 12 years!!! It has a citrus attachment of two sizes for juicing Oranges, lemons etc. And a grater/centrifuge for juicing apples/carrots or any other fruit and veg you care to juice. All ...

I Love this juicer! It was bought as a wedding gift and I have been using it ever since. The juicer comes in a variety of colours including hot pink! I went for the conservative white. The only downsides are the cleaning (which I have now perfected) and it doesnt juice mangoes very well - but all other fruits it is very good for and makes great carrot juice. The motor is very powerful and ideal for any fruits. If you need an industrial juicer ...
