What's New?
This Website! It's an improvement on the old site and just beneath the 'History' bit below we'll be updating you with other interesting news as it happens.
After six years of steady growth we have gone from strength to strength, moving from a rented industrial unit into our own purpose built warehouse, winning three regional business awards, and bringing award-winning juicers and other health-related products from all over the globe to our customers. We are the UK Distributors for L'Equip Juicers and the Champion Juicer and we import a lot of our health products direct from manufacturers worldwide. We are a main distributor of Excalibur Dehydrators, Stockli Dehydrators, Green Power Kempo Juicers, GEO Sprouters and many more.
Naturally we are quite proud of our achievements but our roots remain deeply anchored in a commitment to individual customer service, so everyone can continue to expect the personal attention and expert advice that we have always given. We hope you like the new site. It has all the same advantages of the old one, with some improved interactive features to make your online experience a little easier and a little more user-friendly. If you are looking for the best products available in the world of juicing, we guarantee that you won't be disappointed when you deal with us. All that remains is to say a massive thanks to all our happy customers who've helped make our successful business into one of the leading UK suppliers of specialist juicers and health products. THANK YOU!
History
Here are a few of the landmarks in the UK Juicers story leading up to the point where we launched this new website:

June 2009 : Two of the best!
Time to blow our own trumpet again as two UK Juicers exclusives get the ultimate accolade in The Independent Newspaper's Juicer Review - AGAIN! For the third time
The Champion Juicer is awarded the status 'Best Luxury Buy' and
The L'Equip XL Juicer takes over from
The L'Equip 110.5 Juicer for the title of 'Best Buy Juicer'. Can't say fairer than that!
April 2009 : As Innocent As Coke!
It seems its easy to lose your innocence in big business. Smoothie manufacturers
Innocent Drinks just sold a stake of their business to Coca Cola to help progress their expansion plans. A brave attempt at defending the sale was made by Rich, one of the company's founders but how exactly do you defend such a move? What possible synergy can there be between a company claiming to offer natural healthy drinks and a global business with the track record of Coca Cola?
You can't defend it really. It would appear that Innocent have outgrown their name but are ashamed to admit it. The synergy that exists between the two companies is money and at some point you have to lose your innocence if you want to play with the big boys. But it could be argued that Innocent became guilty long before Coke bought into a slice of their niche. The honourable idea of producing natural health drinks has to be compromised if you manufacture them on a large commercial basis. UK Juicers has always promoted the benefit of using your own
smoothie maker to produce smoothies fresh at home. There's really nothing wrong with the convenience of picking up these drinks off the shelf but the public have been a bit misled about how unadulterated they really are.
The TV campaigns by Innocent showed a
KitchenAid Blender stuffed full of fresh fruit in a sunny, green outdoor environment in order to create an impression of purity. In reality these mass-produced health drinks are manufactured on an industrial scale from huge drums of pasteurised fruit purees, not with
kitchen blenders full of fresh fruit. Manufacturing smoothies on that scale has to overcome the issue of shelf life and an important factor that isn't promoted in any way is that to get the shelf life you have to compromise and destroy nutrients in the process of pasteurisation. So when you pop some fresh fuit and freshly made juice in a
blender at home your
smoothie really is innocent. When it comes in a carton, its not.
Innocent spend a lot of marketing budget on promoting expensive drinks for children and there is no doubt these are far better for your kids than the kind of garbage traditionally offered by Coca Cola. It's an even better investment in the health of your children to give them a truly unadulterated
fresh smoothie from your own smoothie maker. You can engage them in the fun process of using a blender to help make their own colourful and delicious drinks and its so quick and easy to do that its a healthy habit we should all encourage. UK Juicers has a wide range of powerful kitchen blenders that are capable of making iced smoothies, including the same
KitchenAid Blender they used in the Innocent ads! Recently we added the new
L'Equip Mill Blender to the range and this is probably the best power to price ratio you'll find in a
smoothie maker. It also mills dry ingredients and makes nut butters, widening the repertoire of this useful kitchen gadget. Carbon-conscious company
L'Equip also plant a tree for every appliance they sell. To help you get off to a flying start with making your own genuinely innocent smoothies at home we are offering a 10% discount on the
L'Equip Mill Blender until further notice, simply enter the promo code

March 2009 : We Introduce Premium Quality Rebounders By Bellicon
For serious rebounding enthusiasts out there, German-made
Bellicon Rebounders represent the state of the art in high quality Mini Exercise Trampolines. Their standard steel spring
Dynamic Rebounder and the heavier duty
Athletic Rebounder both show the excellent crafstmanship and engineering normally associated with German manufacturing and these two models are perfect for medium to high intensity workouts. Bellicon rebounders have a long pedigree of research and development and their greatest innovation has been the introduction of rebounders that have rubber bungee cord springs instead of the usual steel type.
The Bellicon Swing Rebounder has a deeper more comfortable bounce than any steel spring rebounder and it is fully customisable to the needs of the user. These exercise trampolines genuinely give the best experience that rebound exercise has to offer. One of the key advantages of rebound exercise has always been reduced skeletal impact because of the cushioning effect of the rebounding mat and springs. That advantage is maximised in the Bellicon Bungee Rebounders. Where the
Bellicon Swing optimises all the advantages of rebound exercise for medium to high level activity,
The Bellicon Medi-Swing focuses on the therapeutic advantages of rebounding, with an even softer bounce. This fine tunes the bungee bounce experience for a broader range of users and makes rebounding even more accessible to those who want to exercise at a lower intensity.
The Bellicon Medi-Swing Rebounder is perfect for people interested in weight loss, seniors, small children and for use in rehabilitation of injuries and other conditions.
Jan 2009 : German Spiralizers 'Lurch' from Strength to Strength!
Since we introduced these well-made
spiralizers from German company
Lurch to the UK market they have been stealing a march on competing brands and winning the approval of the UK raw food community to become one of our best selling products. They offer the kind of quality you associate with German products and they are great for raw fooders, vegans, vegetarians, chefs, cooks and health enthusiasts alike. With interchangeable stainless blades they make different sized spiral shapes and slices and raw spaghetti shapes.
Spiralizers are a versatile and fun way to add a variety of interesting shapes and textures to your healthy culinary creations!
Oct 2008 : L'Equip Launches Three New Products
Two New
L'Equip Juicers and a hybrid Blender/Food Processor are unveiled by the American Health brand.
The L'Equip XL Juicer is a more powerful centrifugal juicer with an extra large feed chute that can take whole apples and big bunches of produce in one go for superfast juicing.
The L'Equip Omni Juicer replaces the 509 Visor with greater functionality in a more compact, contemporary format. The optional
oil extractor attachment for the Omni extracts the most vital essential fatty acids for freshly pressed salad oils made fresh from the living seed.
The L'Equip Mill Blender is a powerful tool for the healthy kitchen offering milling and dry ingredient capability as well as the usual blending functions. Perfect for vegetarians, vegans, health enthusiasts and anyone interested in the Raw Food Lifestyle.
Aug 2008 : L'Equip Goes Green
After nearly ten years in the business of making Juicers, Dehydrators, Blenders and other healthy things for your kitchen, American manufacturer L'Equip is refreshing its brand and going green. With every L'Equip product sold, a tree is planted. This is done through regular donations to the Arbor Day Foundation, a charity focussed on replanting native forests. Along with this the logo is changing from yellow to green and there are exciting new juicers and other products in the pipeline.
