Rank #5 in Best Slow Juicer 2026: Nine Ranked, and Two Listings That Contradict Themselves
Philips Viva Masticating Juicer, 150W, 1L
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Philips Viva Collection masticating juicer, model HR1889/71, is fifth of the nine slow juicers in this guide. At £109.99 it sits in the middle of the field, and its 4.3 out of 5 comes from 441 ratings. It is the listing here that says most plainly what its headline capacity figure actually is: "1 litre of juice in one go", followed by "Jug holds up to 1 litre". The litre is the jug. The pulp container appears only as something that stores inside the juice collector, with no capacity of its own, so this number cannot be lined up against the hopper volume quoted on other listings in the guide.
Two other fields in this listing are worth reading twice. "Up to 80 percentage extraction" is stated with no test conditions anywhere on the page. The spec table gives "Controller Type" as "App" on a machine whose bullets describe a 150-watt motor and a jug — the app named in the bullets, HomeID, is a recipe app you follow step-by-step, not a control. The spec highlight also promises an "XL feeding tube" without a single measurement in millimetres, so this is one machine that cannot join the 78mm-against-75mm argument elsewhere in the guide. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this model, not from testing we carried out ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“As a first time juicer, this machine has been absolutely brilliant for me. The base feels really sturdy, the components are well made and it is SO easy to clean if you make sure to do it straight after juicing. I have used this everyday, sometimes twice a day because it is so easy to use, take apart and put together.Some people have mentioned that the pulp is a bit moist after juicing, and they are correct. I decided to squeeze out the pulp with a cheese cloth to see roughly how much juice was being left behind and I got around 25ml. To me, that is fine and I'm not too bothered about missing out on 25ml, as I try to use the pulp for recipes anyway.It has become part of my morning routine now, and I'm really happy with my purchase. Hopefully it stand the test of time! Good value for money as well in comparison to other machines. Highly recommend for a first time juicer or somebody looking to replace an old one.”
Verified purchase“Brilliant juicer, have a Kitchenaid one also and this beats it hands down as so easy to clean, with little difference in juice from apples pineapples etc.”
