Juicing as it should be

I have been juicing for several years on and off. I am not a juiceaholic but I do like to add nutritious juices into my daily life as I am a believer in the benefits. I have previously owned a John Lewis centrifugal model when I first started and then for the last few years a Samson which actually did me proud.
Although the Samson still works I have progressed with my juicing journey and wanted to treat myself to a top vertical masticating juicer.
Having looked at the other top brands I decided to go with the JR Ultra as it just seemed to tick all my boxes. Also the service and attention to detail which I received from Juicy Retreats when I inquired about the juicer was a real plus point.
Having taken the decision to upgrade to this model I must say I am very happy. The time it takes for me to juice and clean the machine is much less and the whole process is far more enjoyable. I do still pre chop my food out of habit but I actually don't mind. The juicer is very solid and has a powerful (and quite heavy) motor so I probably don't need to chop as much as I do but the juice the JR Ultra makes is excellent so I want it to last.
I have tried juicing most of the common fruit and veg that I can think of and I am very happy with the results. I mainly juice but have made a smoothie with the additional smoothie filter and it did actually turn out very well. I haven't made frozen dessert with the blank strainer yet to comment.
The main thing I am pleased with though is that it is the first time that I have owned a juicer that has actually made me want to juice when I look at it after the initial honeymoon period is over. My other juicers have spent time being unused but the JR Ultra makes juicing much more pleasurable in my opinion. I really recommend it.
