Moulinex BKA342

I bought this juicer in the middle of a health food kick and to replace my cheap one, which was fiddly and took a lot of work in terms of preparation. This juicer looks a bit fiddly at first but it's easy to use. It has non slip feet at the bottom and a long lead. It has a large pulp collector at the side where the pulp from the fruit or veg goes. It can be quite messy but I've found it a lot easier if, when you buy fruit etc you pick up a few extra ...
...to collect pulp. It's then just a case of taking it out and throwing the bag away. At the top is the plastic presser that you use to push the fruit down to the centrifuge. This is really easy to clean. The lid can be used curved side up (as in the picture) but I find it easier to turn it upside down and place it over the feeder hole. That way you can be a lot more fruit down at once and it saves you keep turning the machine on and off while you get ...

...enzymes are lost.. The Moulinex Master Plus is quite bulky, if your kitchen is small get rid of your food destroyer (the microwave) replace it with the juicer your health will improve. Do not store it in the cupboards, unless you have easy access to your juicer you will forget to use it. But if you prefer a doughnut it's entirely your choice! For soft juicy fruit and vegetables (melon, watermelon and tomatoes) use speed 1 - for hard fruit and vegetables ...

Review of Moulinex BKA342

This is a great value juicer. The hole at the top can take half a small apple or a thick carrot. There's no need to chop everything up unto tiny pieces. I still haven't worked out if the twin speed makes an enormous amount of difference. I've had this juicer for a year now and I've had no problems with it. The waste is still relatively dry and the cutting bowl is still quite sharp. My favorite recipe involves half a lime, a piece of ginger, a pear, a red pepper, a couple of carrots and a beetroot - the ginger juices well if placed between the carrots. The instructions are helpful and clear...a good choice. ...

Review of Moulinex BKA342

this is okay as an entry level juicer. it was the first one I got. it takes most fruit and veg and has too speed settings (depending on if the item is hard or soft). Chunks are fed through the top and pushed down with a plunger. you can leave the peel on and do not need to take out core etc. However, the item needs to be a fairly small chunk to fit in the shoot. However overall it is fairly quick and simple to make a fresh juice. it is very simple ...
...and reassemble. However it is very hard to clean and consequently it might not get used as often as i would like. The machine gets stained quickly and the beaker and pulp beaker look grubby quite quickly. it is fairly noisy but not sure how this compairs to others on market. For avid juicers, I would recommend a model that takes whole fruit and is easier to clean. It seems quite powerful and you get a lot of juice out of your fruit. The juice ...
