The Le Duo juicer from Magimix is the one that I currently use to make the majority of my juices. It is a centrifugal juicer that also comes with a citrus press. As it spins so fast, it makes juicing grapefruits and oranges a breeze. I am a big fan of centrifugal juicers simply because they allow you to make fresh fruit and vegetable juices so quickly. On the down side, yes you often get a bit of froth on the top of your juice and, related to this, your juice may oxidise more quickly causing a lost of nutrients. However for me, the speed at which I can juice more than makes up for these concerns. In fact, it could be argued that the speed at which you can make juice with a centrifugal juicer means there is less time for your juice to oxidise.

Just to be clear, this juicer seems harder to find in the U.S. therefore this review will be more useful for customers living in the U.K. and Europe. So to carry on with this Magimix Le Duo juicer review, here are the reasons that I love this juicer so much.

• very fast juicing is possible
• relatively easy to clean
• all parts are dishwasher safe
• a seperate citrus press is included

This machine is large enough to be able to make about a litre of juice before you would need to empty the cylinder of pulp. For me this is perfect as I usually just juice for myself and my lady friend. Cleaning the Magimix Le Duo is easy and does not take very long. However one thing I must point out, and this will be the same for any fruit and vegetable juicer, is that the sooner you clean it after use, the easier it will be. You will get less staining of your machine and the fruit and vegetable pulp will have less time to stick to your juicer. You can actually wash it in the dishwasher. Personally I do not do this.

One thing that aids cleaning greatly is a kitchen brush to scrub the outside of the cylindrical container. There are a lot of tiny holes where the juice is forced through while you are juicing and a brush is the perfect size to get rid of all the bits of pulp that remain after you have used the Magimix spatula to remove the majority of it. All the other parts simply need a rinse and possibly a wipe depending on how quickly you clean them. The image below shows all the parts that come included with the Magimix le Duo juicer.

The citrus press that comes included with the Magimix Le Duo is handy. It makes preparing a simple orange juice very easy. To be honest, this is one of my favorite juices. You can of course make your orange juice by cutting the peel off and feeding the pieces into the cylindrical container. Using the citrus press produces a juice that contains some bits of pulp whereas the other method gives a much smoother, non-bitty juice. So you have the option to make the style of juice you prefer.

To conclude this Magimix Le Duo juicer review it is the reasonable price, speed of juicing and ease of clean up that make this machine perfect for the majority of my juicing needs.
