Philips Avance Collection Quick Clean Centrifugal Juicer with XXL Feeding Tube and Drip Stop Function, 1 Litre, 1000W - HR1922/21

Product Information

We made orange and other fruit as well as vegetable juice in each juicer, weighing before and after so we could measure exactly how much juice was extracted. I have used many different juicers over the years and to a unit, they have either disappointed in terms of performance or failed due to craftsmenship. There’s very little chance of any spillage occurring while cleaning, whether you choose to remove the juicer parts separately, or all at once as recommended in the instructions. Just bear in mind the latter would involve all the pulp ending up in your sink – which isn’t ideal if you don’t have a garbage disposal unit. The drip-stop function on the spout was handy, although juice did continue to accumulate inside the unit, making clean-up a little messier. The Viva HR1889 also comes with a colourful recipe booklet and instructions on finding and using the Philips Healthy Drinks app – a neat touch.

Philips Avance Collection Juicer with X-Large Feed Tube

In addition to its compact size, taking up 296 x 250mm of your worktop space (without the jug attached), the Avance HR1922 looks pleasantly futuristic. The juicer’s shape is reminiscent of a large curvy bottle, further helped by the fact that most of its removable juicing parts are made of transparent plastic. The feed chute is 8cm in diameter, which is wide enough not to require much preparatory chopping. The transparent plunger, feed tube and juicer lid enable you to observe the entire juicing process. Even the pulp bin is transparent, meaning you can assess its fullness without disassembling the machine.Cleaning the Avance HR1922 is made easy because of the pre-clean rinsing function. By pouring water into the hollow plunger and turning the juicer on setting 2, you can rinse out the juicer lid, the steel blades and the micro-mesh filter. Like other Philips juicers, it comes with a recipe booklet and features neat touches such as integrated cord storage.

Avance Collection Masticating juicer HR1897/34 | Philips

Cleaning brush We found juicers that came with a cleaning brush were much easier to clean, as they can reach into nooks and crannies to remove small bits of pulp. I got this juicer for a few reasons. For one, I work in the juicing equipment business, so I know a thing or two about it and two, I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and I want to start treating it with juicing before beginning medications. For those of you unfamiliar, this is a masticating juicer that utilizes something similar to an auger to slice the products into little pieces and crush them as they pass further along the auger. Based on the yields I got, I would say it is mediocre.

The Viva HR1889’s most obvious competitor is the slightly pricier Philips Avance MicroMasticating juicer. The latter can also be used to prepare nut milk and to juice softer and starchier fruits such as mangoes and bananas, which aren’t suitable for the HR1889 Viva. Meanwhile, the more affordable Panasonic MJ-L500 Slow Juicer comes with an additional frozen attachment for making sorbets. Smoothness is a personal choice, so we've made sure to highlight the best juicers for smooth juice, and the best for those who like bits in their juice. Ease of use The first thing you’ll notice about the Avance HR1922 is its compact form. This juicer has clearly been designed with appearance in mind. While many juicers consist of two integral but separate parts, the juicing unit and the pulp bin, Philips has built the pulp bin into the main body of the juicer. The machine produced some amusing squeaking sounds while processing the leafy greens, but that is just part of the process and still more pleasant to the ear than the drill-like noise of some centrifugal juicers. The best juicers typically got 15% more juice out of the fruit and veg compared to the worst on test.

Philips Avance MicroMasticating Juicer HR1947 Review

A handy drip-stop means the juicing bowl can be sealed without spillage. No cleaning brush is provided, but that hardly feels necessary here, since the filter attached to the squeezing chamber can be easily cleaned with running water. Three medium carrots produced a somewhat disappointing 100ml of juice. While the juice was clear, with no extra pulp, the carrot pulp in the bin was still moist enough for me to use in a carrot cake. There is a small decanter, to collect the juice, provided with measurements denoted on the side should you want or need that sort of thing. s The decanter also has a snap on cover and the discharge spout on the juicer is a wonderful pivot hinge design that snaps tightly closed to stop juice flow instantly. No drips. All the removable parts are dishwasher-safe – and they’re equally easy to clean by hand. This includes the micro-sieve, which is relatively small. A bit of pressure was needed to juice the carrots and apples, especially when half of an apple ended up core side down. Two-thirds of a large cucumber made the juicer wobble a little, but it was sturdy enough to take it. The resulting juice was fibrous and tasty.Compact, but long and narrow in shape, with its feed tube protruding, the Philips HR1889 Viva looks similar to many other smaller masticating machines. The Philips Avance HR1922 isn’t cheap, but it has several clever touches that make it stand out from the competition. If you care about appearance and storage, or easy cleaning, you’d be hard-pushed to find anything better.
