Because there are no sharp edges, the fibers or particles of ingredients are rinsed away in seconds.

I started by making a double portion of the Farmers’ Market juice from the recipe booklet, which contains strawberries, apples, carrots and some cucumber.As recommended in the instructions, I alternated juicing leafy greens with hard fruits, processing apples in-between. The drink was quite frothy, probably down to the fact that there’s no separator to reduce the foam on top. The drip stop spout is very easy to clean as it is detachable and it is made of dishwasher safe materials. Our unique no sieve design allows the juice to flow seamlessly to your glass going through a filter that removes any unwanted part from the juice and is so easy to clean that you don’t need any brushes.

There was a tiny bit of sediment, but this wasn’t particularly noticeable when mixed into the juice. The drip-stop function on the spout was handy, although juice did continue to accumulate inside the unit, making clean-up a little messier. A fully integrated drip stop allows you to stop between juicing sessions and keep your kitchen worktop clean at all times. Although for testing I normally use the most widely available sliced variety of kale, I decided to also test the Avance HR1922 with larger kale leaves. However, if you’re particularly interested in juicing leafy greens, you’d be better off with the Philips Avance MicroMasticating Juicer HR1947.It performs well with leafy greens, but the results are more lacklustre when it comes to harder veg. To test the difference between the two speed settings, I decided to juice a similar amount of apple and carrot. The Viva HR1889 also comes with a colourful recipe booklet and instructions on finding and using the Philips Healthy Drinks app – a neat touch.

Both juicers get the most out of your fresh fruits and vegetables and therefore have similar levels of vitamins and nutrients.

The first recipe I tried included honey, but I had no clue as to whether it should run through the juicer or if it should be added to the glass afterwards. Next, I made the ‘Pure Citrus’ juice using grapefruit, orange, mandarin and lime – with the fibre juice filter in place. Because there are no sharp edges, the fibres or particles of ingredients are rinsed away in seconds. Homemade juices with fresh ingredients can contain up to 90% * of the nutrients in fruits and vegetables.
