Originally, we were thrilled with the juicer. They pressed a lot easier than our old! At the beginning they had a fantastic non-stick coating, so that we got the plastic parts clean just by holding under a stream of water. I do not know what chemicals Philips has tilted up there to make it work. In any case, this coating after 5 months away and after every use we can still so very clean with and without scratch sponge, it remains after drying, always back a white veil on the press cone. I have no idea what kind of plasticizer Now let us take our freshly squeezed juice to us. A written request from Philips months ago went unanswered. What remains is a machine that mechanically works very well but also a strange feeling that we take because of chemistry, which migrates from the plastic into the juice to us. The next time we are looking for a machine well, the metal parts used - even if it is much more expensive.
