Matstone 6 in 1 Juicer in Ivory

I owned this Juicer for almost two years and used it daily to make an apple, carrot, ginger, lime, spinach, beetroot, celery and cucumber juice. It really has changed my life. My health has improved enormously - I haven't had a cold since I first started (I used to suffer regular colds every 4 - 6 weeks). My hair and skin look much better and I just feel much better generally.I have owned several juicers and have friends with juicers and I can say without any doubt that the juice from this machine is of an *extremely* high quality. However, prep and feeding is a very slow business because the parts are flimsy. Everything needs to be chopped up quite small (French fry - potato wedges sized depending on how hard the veg is) - anything too large causes the juicer to struggle and feels like it might break something. The first juicing screen snapped after 6 months daily use, then the next one again after another eight months or so. Each time I ordered new screens (for free) with no problems. Also the auger had worn right down after about 18 months, it was then that I decided on a new (better) juicer.The pulp is nice and dry except for some soft fruits, spinach, beet and cucumber so I fed through the damp pulp for a second time.Washing up takes 3 - 4 minutes.The Matstone is a great 'first machine' IMO. Top quality juice from a machine that costs less than £200. If you really know you're serious about juicing and you can afford it you should look at the Angel juicer.. although it's several times the price it really is a far more solid machine and much quicker/easier to use.Check the delivery before you buy. My delivery days were vague. Eventually they delivered, unfortunately during the week when we were both at work and they do not re-deliver. I had to drive to their depot 50 miles away to collect it.

I have owned this juicer for just over a year now and still use it every single day for vegetables and fruit. I chose this juicer because I have owned other juicers in the past (Jack La lanne being one of them) which were ok but not great and packed up shortly after the warranty's ran out, so this time I did my research! I realised that for the best quality juice I needed a masticating juicer. This one offers a 10 year guarantee on the motor and is easy to replace small parts if necessary. I love it! Of course it's a pain to have to clean juicers afterwards but this one really is no bother compared to the others I have used. The trick is to give the parts a good rinse straight after juicing. The fine mesh/grater bit is what takes the longest but even that is only a minute or two maximum. I find that if I finish the juicing with a piece of fruit or veg with a bit of texture like a carrot then this pushes other pieces through more easily that might otherwise get stuck in the mesh when it comes to cleaning. It is nowhere near as messy to clean either. If I really don't have time to clean it I just fill a bowl with water and the leave the parts to soak until I have time, this stops the 'mush' from drying and being difficult to dislodge. The other juicers I have used always left a fairly moist pulp indicating that a fair bit of juice was still in it, the Matstone however, produces a much drier pulp, so, clearly more juice for your money. Also it easily juices leafy greens such as spinach, parsley, broccoli etc. that my other juicers just couldn't cope with. Although slightly more expensive than some others it really is a good quality robust juicer that is well worth the money. Certainly a good investment if you are serious about juicing. I have never needed to use the other attachments for it so can't comment on their ability to perform. It is quite heavy for me (a feeble weakling with arthritic hands) so I leave it permanently out which is fine because it looks great. It came with a very useful owners manual giving you recipes and clear guidelines as to how to get the best from each attachment. It also came with a great little recipe book 'The Juiceman's Power of Juicing' which gives over 100 recipes for a variety of ailments plus loads of useful info. It is very easy to set up and work and pretty quiet compared to my other juicers. I have no complaints, I am a very happy customer.

I own a juicer slightly over one year. My main objection is that the part of plastic adjacent to the rotating metal part of the auger worn out very soon and the auger is a bit wobbly because of that. Nevertheless, it does not seem to significantly influence the functionality of the machine.Generally - the machine is really fast and easy to assemble and disassemble. I would appreciate wider space for inserting ingredients.I am happy with the mincing function - it is the best way how to make hummus and bean spreads I know, it makes very good carrot based salads, mincing soaked nuts and dried fruit and mincing frozen fruits also works very well. The mincing cone cracked after a few months of usage and was replaced for free by the seller without problems.I am not that excited about the juicing function - the juicing screen gets cluttered, when making larger amount of juice I have to clean it in the middle of juicing. Also - it is quite difficult to clean it properly afterwards. I should mention that I mostly juice carrot and other hard vegetables, fruit seem to cause less problems.The recipe book that comes with the juicer is of rather poor quality. The instructions often miss important details.

I bought this product as my father was having chemotherapy and read up that masticating Juicers retained nutrients when Juicing. When I received the product I found the Juicer was horrible at Juicing and a lot of juice was left over in the fruit and vegetables skins. I'm not sure if this is a faulty device or if the juicer just happens to function poorly.I mentioned this to the "The Juice Master" (Seller) and requested a this is the reply I got"I'm afraid we wouldnt be able to accept this back as the product is no longer in re-sellable condition"The Juicer has been in its box since, I wasted £170. Appalling customer service from "the Juice master".There are better juicers out there.
