Take it with closed eyes. It doesn't make that annoying grinding noise when you use it. It is indeed silent. You only hear the sound from the friction of the plastic cone on the shaft. What the hell? Besides inverter washing machines, are they now making inverter juicers too? You can make juice in the middle of the night and no one will notice. It is stable, I would say heavy-duty. I believe the company intentionally designed the juice collection container not to fit snugly with the rest of the body, leaving a small gap when you assemble it, because otherwise, how would the cone submerge to juice the orange? It needs a gap to submerge. The sieve has small holes through which only the beneficial parts, the plant fibers, and the juice go down, not the seeds. The spout from which the juice flows attaches and detaches easily. It releases without coming off, making a large angle for it to be washed thoroughly. It's worth every cent of € . Really, all manufacturers should copy Philips' patent. I don't know of any other company that you can use and it doesn't make that annoying grinding noise. If you know one, let me know in the comments. I come from a PROFI COOK juicer of the same price category. That one suctioned, while this one does not, but that one made that annoying grinding noise when it worked, while Philips has nothing to do with it. I vote for Philips, definitely. I hope I helped. If you get it, and what I write doesn't match reality, don't call me Tasos.

The price may be somewhat higher compared to other models (I don't know if any of them have a better price-performance ratio), but this juicer has the following advantages:
- Very quiet: one can squeeze oranges in the kitchen without being noticed and without disturbing the whole house
- Nice design (subjective) and very good quality materials (despite the dominance of plastic), relatively heavy and sturdy
- The attachments are easily removable for cleaning
- Very powerful motor (80W): It doesn't get stuck or struggle

The only negative thing I could mention (although I imagine it applies generally) is that over time, some juice residues remain on the juicer, which dull and whiten the black color and do not easily come off with water and soap (it requires scrubbing). When wet, the whiteness is not visible, but when it dries, it is there again if not scrubbed. However, it is not something serious, nor does it look very bad (perhaps only slightly more noticeable than other devices due to the black color). Nonetheless, I have no regrets about it at all and I highly recommend it (besides, it is also a decorative piece on the kitchen counter).

UPDATE (10/2015): Unfortunately, the durability of the juicer was very limited over time: even though I hadn't used it much (only a few times with one hand), the motor burned out without any warning. The store where I had purchased it online didn't even answer the phone. When I took it to the Philips service center, I was informed after about ten days that Philips doesn't even have a replacement motor for it (unacceptable), so it couldn't be repaired. Since the warranty period had passed, a free replacement was not possible. Philips suggested that I buy a new juicer from them at a particularly advantageous price since the faulty machine was almost within the warranty period. Besides the price for exactly the same machine, I also asked about the advantageous price for a juicer that also had a juicer, so that at least with this investment, I could make an upgrade (and not cry over the money I had spent unnecessarily on a bad machine). In the end, after a long wait and several complaints from me, and as the matter dragged on from week to week, I finally received the answer that I couldn't get the juicer at an advantageous price since it is not in the same category, and they would give me the same juicer for a whole €4 (!!!!!) cheaper than the purchase price (which could be found on skroutz.gr). UNDER THE CONDITION that I send them the faulty machine at my own expense, which means that the total cost would be higher than ordering a new one from an online store. Unacceptable!!! Of course, I refused to do so, and despite my strong complaints, no one seemed to care... In the past, Philips' service was exemplary, but now they no longer provide it themselves, and the policy they implement is one of indifference towards their customers... It's a shame... I believe that this should be taken into account in any future purchase of their products. Based on this experience, I have also adjusted the rating (because what good is the nice design, ergonomics, etc., when the machine burns out after 5 uses and there is this treatment).
