Magimix Le Duo

Good points: the machine juices well enough, I suppose.

Bad points: fruit and veg gets stuck easily, the citrus press is terrible - about a quarter of the orange stays untouched inside the skin - and, worst of all, it can take up to half an hour to clean. Bits of food stay stuck on the drum no matter how much water I use, which is a lot. I wouldn't mind, but on the box it quite brazenly boasts 'Easy to clean!'. This was one of the reasons I bought it, and it turned out to be a total lie.

Good juicer and lovely results. Looks good in the kitchen and not much chopping in preparation. I've sent it back twice to the manufacturer though when the centre spinning element burnt out and mangled up. They have now replaced the whole thing. But my biggest gripe by far is the amount of water required to clean the basket. There really is no other way of cleaning it other than pouring litre after litre of water through it. Crazy!

i brought the juicer from debenhams had it least than 2 weeks

and it started making a jutting noise checked it out

and the stem that holds the round thing-with mes-the white

pointed stem was all chipped, sadly it was broken sent it

back to manufacturers who have now repaired it =

also its very heavy-

nice study neat product had no problems juice comes

out with no trash

For cleaning it, I'd say with 6 yrs constant use that you're better off rinsing it all out as soon as you've used it, this stops any fruit sticking and embedding on the parts. but the steel mesh filter is best off hosed out with hose on jet setting. It'll fire out all the bits and leave you soaked but the filter 'clean'! if you dishwasher it - it will also clean it but it fills the holes on other side of it with dishwasher grot/dirty water so beware when you take it out it'll need another rinse through. Magimix does juice very fast and easily though and is a heavy sturdy unit. The citrus press is super but you have to empty it out every 4 or 5 oranges. I have the chrome and black one and it wipes down and remains smart looking. Doesnt take up too much space. I shall miss it, but have to buy a new juicer now as I refuse to keep replacing the plastic parts. But that motor! It'll go forever...

I had one of these machines a few years ago and just couldn't be bothered to clean it so hardly used (sounds lazy but its rediculas spending 30 minutes cleaning a juicer). Its now in storage and I have bought a basic braun model which I have used far more because its so much easier to clean (about 5 minutes) - though the braun doesn't get out as much juice this isn't a major concern as I'm juicing for one.

The best machine for juices. Great extractor for fruits and vegs. I think Magimix Le Duo is the number 1 in centrifugal extractors. The only downfall is that it's hard to clean, but for the juice it produces I'm very pleased with it anyway.

Great sturdy juicer and very easy to use. Excellent shape and design and looks smart in the kitchen. I like experimenting and so far have juiced almost every type of fruit and veg without any problem. I like the fact that I can push whole pears and apples into the feeder without chopping, as well as whole carrots and celery sticks. The juice is always excellent quality and is pure juice with no lumpy bits! I really would recommend it to a anyone who enjoys an easy life and likes to try different combinations of fruit and veg drinks.

I think the Magimix Le Duo are the best juicers on the market and it's a very neat machine. I like how easy it is to use and wash this Magimix juicer. I love it.

if you use the Magimix Le Duo every day like I do and wash it in the dishwasher, you might find the the plastic parts will degrade and break in less than a month like I have. Very disappointed, would recommend that stay away from this product unless you have the time to clean it.
