Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor
Customer Review: Almost as great as my Harley-Davidson!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! This thing WORKS!! I got a Jack LaLane Power Juicer before Christmas, but it went back the next day. Carrots were almost impossible. I have monstrous food allergies and am trying to go all organic and non toxic, so juicing is a great way to get nutrition.
This model is super fast, super easy to assemble and disassemble, super easy to clean, and looks good on the counter.
What more can you ask for???
PS, it's not as much fun as the Harley though...
Great buy for a great product.
Customer Review: Amazing Motor, Amazing Juicer.
Summary: 4 Stars
I like it, it has the speed for it, and it amazed me how it works. The parts are easy to clean, only about 4 parts to clean. The juicing time for me has dropped from like 10 minutes to like 3 minutes. It takes longer to set up the veggies/fruits then anything else.
One thing I notice and it's why I gave it a 4 star; it's because just about a week and a few days after I notice that some of the teeth are half way missing and some or bent back? I'm not sure how that happened, however I'm willing to buy another mesh to test it out again. I juice everyday, and I've had no problems wit it, I would say that this is the juicer to have.

PROS
---------
This is by far one of the world's GREATEST juicers. I can say this with all honesty because I have been into health and fitness all my life. I know the value of fresh, raw vegetables and the power of health and vitality the provide. I also know quality products when I see them.
THE DESIGN: The Breville 800JEXL is one of the best, sleekest, coolest looking kitchen appliances. It's very modern looking and looks like a work of art. You can tell the manufacturer not only put time into the mechanics, but also the design. The AC plug has an innovative round hole which allows you to put your finger through to unplug with ease! If you have a modern kitchen with the new stainless appliances and such, this will look awesome sitting on your counter. Well, any kitchen for that matter.
EASY TO ASSEMBLE: The Breville 800JEXL is easy to assemble. Just 3 pieces (no screws required) A stainless steel base that fits over the motor first, then the screen/blade, then the top, then the pulp catcher. That's it!
NO CHOPPING: It has a 3" opening which allows me to put in whole (smaller) apples without cutting them. Almost all my vegetables and fruits I can put in without cutting them. Saves time and less mess.
FAST & POWERFUL: It has 2 speeds. Fast and mega-fast! This juicer has the speed and power to handle any juicing that you may do. Especially the hard vegetables and fruits - Carrots, Beets, Pineapples, Potatoes, and such. Never slows down. Never makes a grinding noise like it's trying to work. NO. This juicer just zips right through everything.
GREAT QUALITY JUICE: The quality and quantity of juice is fantastic! The pulp is very dry, which means it is extracting the nutrients out. Unlike some of the other reviews on here, IT DOES make fantastic green juice. I have juiced spinach, watercress, no problem. Wheat grass can be juiced too, just roll it up in a few lettuce leaves first then put it through.
EASY TO CLEAN: Clean up is really easy, and I'm not just saying that. You just take out the few pieces put them in your dish washer and thats it! If you don't have a dishwasher you can just rinse them off in the sink with a little soap and water and that's it! - HINT: Wash the juicer immediately after you juice don't let it sit and dry.
GREAT CUSTOMER SUPPORT: It has a 3 year warrantee, and the company is excellent in taking care of their customers (at least for me they did)! VERY satisfied customer.

CONS - NONE

At first I thought the juicer had a flaw, but after reading the reviews on here, it was MY falt!
I had the juicer for about a year and I used it every day. It started to leak just a bit along the rim where the catcher bin attaches to the clear plastic lid.
I called Breville and they sent me a postage-free return slip, I packed it into a box and within a couple weeks I had a BRAND NEW JUICER! :-) Not a reconditioned one. No questions asked! Now THAT'S awesome customer service.
Like I said before, after reading one of the reviews here, the problem was my fault. Not keeping the screen clean. If you don't keep it clean, some of the juice will flow into the pulp catching bin. All you have to do is just make sure the screen is very clean after each use.
So really it was not a design flaw of the juicer, but my own mistake.
I have not had that problem since. I now take extra care in making sure that I clean the screen properly.
CONCLUSION
If you are serious about your health. If you want to take CHARGE of your life and the quality of your life. GET A JUICER!
Yes true, we need to eat proteins, carbohydrates and good fats, but the vitamins and minerals from fresh, raw vegetables and fruits is the MAIN thing; and in my personal oppinion, really the ONLY thing that will give you the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in their natural, absorbable state that your body requires to stay healthy and avoid disease.
Juicing allows you to eat a LARGER QUANTITY of raw vegetables and fruits that you would otherwise not be able to consume because of the fiber.
BUT WE ARE WASTING THE FIBER, RIGHT? - No, not really. Remember your body can NOT digest fiber. Your own body internally will extract the nutrients from the vegetables and fruits and eliminate the fiber. The only difference about a juicer is that it does it before you consume it.
Just remember juicing is in ADDITION TO your normal diet including whole grains, salads and other fiber rich foods. If you are eating a well-balanced healthy diet, the fiber you my miss from the juice is not a big deal. You will be getting plenty of fiber from the rest of your meals.
If you really are concerned about the whole wasting the pulp issue then here are some good suggestions:
Use the fiber for making muffins.
Spread the fiber on a cookie sheet and bake it slowly until it is dry. Or use a food dehydrator. After it's dry, crush it up into a fine powder and put it into a shaker container and use it as a natural, salt-free seasoning. Or use in soups.
Give back to nature what it gave to you. Recycle it! Take the fiber and spread it around your garden or flower bed. Mix it into the soil real good. Since it's all organic it would make the best, natural fertilizer and your plants will love it!
Just do it! Don't even think about it another second. I am telling you honestly you will be happy with this juicer. Shop around for the best price and then buy this juicer NOW! Your body will thank you for it!

Customer Review: As good as it gets!
Summary: 5 Stars
Thanks for all the reviews here at Amazon, I bit the bullet and bought the Breville Elite a month back.
My juicing needs are as follows:
- get some vegetable juice into my 2.5yr old twin boys who don't eat as many vegetables (but eat enough fruits)
- make straight carrot juice for myself as I just *love* carrot juice
- buy a juicer that is robust and one that will last a long time, if taken care of
- frequency of juicing is 1-3 times a week
The performance of Breville against my needs has been plain awesome. This is my first (and hopefully the only!) juicer so I can't cross compare to another product.
The Pros:
- Have made various fruit and vegetable juices till date and it works great
- Made decent spinach juice a few days back and the performance juicing spinach is good
- The pulp is reasonably dry if I don't rush the juicing (see Cons for more)
- Cleaning is relatively easy, although you need to ensure that you clean the filter/cutting basket thoroughly (see Cons for more)
- The noise level, size, spitting out of small pieces and vibration etc are all within my tolerance limits
The Cons:
- I noticed that if I juice 3 carrots at the same time, the pulp is quite a bit damper that when I juice one carrot at a time. Since the filter basket has a fine mesh, it is possible that the speed of juicing with multiple carrots could be overwhelming how much juice can flow thro' the mesh. I have since gone to juicing one long carrot at a time without making the entire juicing process too long and the pulp is quite dry
- I also noticed that the times the filter basket is not thoroughly cleaned, the pulp is damper than when the basket is very clean. It again goes back to the "through-put" of how much juice can flow through a partially clogged filter basket.
To summarize, the only circumventable annoyance I have with this machine is the dampness of the pulp. This I have reduced to the filter basket performance because of either the speed of juicing or clogged pores; and both are manageable. So, I am giving this machine "5 Star" rating and it is as good as it gets.
Customer Review: At last - I can juice daily with ease - so good I bought two!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am writing a review as I am so grateful to the customer reviewers who took the time to write. Their thoughtful reviews were what steered me to this product. Wow - I love it! I had a few Omegas - they kept breaking - and cleaning the juicer was such a pain - dissassembly and assembly were so inconvenient and time consuming that I stopped juicing for years. The Breville 800 JEXL is a dream. Really substantial - looks beautiful on the counter top - so powerful but very very safe by design - so easy to pull apart and put together - everything goes in the dishwasher. The quality of the juice is top notch - and it is FAST! In less than three minutes, I make a quart of juice and I am back to work. I bought one for office, used it for two weeks, and then bought another one for home. I am so happy!
