Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor
Customer Review: I'm impressed...
Summary: 5 Stars
I read review after review in searching for a juicer (Santa's Christmas present to me). I am new to juicing so it was really the only thing I had to go by. I have been using my juicer for about a month now and I absolutely love it! I can't imagine it being any easier to use. I don't much like peeling oranges before I can juice them whole. I keep wondering if a citrus juicer would be better for oranges. Either way, I still love my Breville. Even if I invest in another small citrus juicer I won't feel disappointed with this one. It's quiet, it's fast, and cleanup is simple and fast. There are only four pieces that you have to wash out when you're finished juicing, five if you don't use a plastic baggie in the pulp container. The juice is fantasic. I was a little wary of how it might taste because my mom bought a juicer a few years ago and the juice it produced was awful. Also, if you are like me and you don't care for pulp in your oj or any other juice then this juicer is the one for you. There is almost NO pulp in any kind of juice that I make. What little bit of texture that is there (depending on what kind of juice you make) is hardly noticeable. My 7 yo. also loves all of the juices that I make, which speaks volumes if you have kids. Anyway, we could neither one be happier with this juicer and I'm glad I spent the money on this one because it was worth every penny. I contemplated getting a less expensive one since I was new to juicing but eventually concluded that spending $300 and loving my juicer was better than spending $150 on one and being disappointed - I made the right choice. Delivery was very fast from Amazon.Customer Review: Easy to Use; Juices Various Fruits/Vegetables
Summary: 5 Stars
This juicer is easy to assemble/disassemble and use. Although it's a centrifugal juicer, it does not appear to produce significant amounts of heat; the juice produced is cool to cold. It has two speeds: low and high. Low works well for cucumbers, broccoli, tomatoes, berries, citrus fruits, etc. High works well for carrots, apples, celery, sweet potatoes, etc. The wide-mouth chute makes it possible to add whole items or large chunks, minimizing the need for pre-chopping/cutting. The supplied manual has useful info regarding proper speeds for different items, as well as recipes for both juice and leftover pulp. By the way, the pulp produced is very dry, demonstrating the high efficiency of juice extraction.
The juicer is fairly easy to clean. The most difficult part would be the screen of course, but the supplied brush is helpful. Since everything is stainless steel, there's no staining. We've been using this nearly everyday for 4 months and everything is holding up nicely thus far. The Breville website also has replacement parts if needed.
This isn't the best for juicing items like leafy greens or wheat grass, but I knew that when I purchased (and the reason is the juicer type, centrifugal, not this particular machine). After researching many juicers, I picked a happy medium among them based on versatility, ease of use and cleaning, juice quality, price, etc.
I do wish Breville added a longer warranty for this machine. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with my purchase and I'm now getting a variety of fruits/vegetables in my diet that I would not be getting otherwise.

Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor
I got this from bestseller21 here on Amazon.
It got here on time and brand new just as I was told it would.
I took it out of the box and put it on my counter where I plan to keep it .
This thing is Beautiful and even makes my kitchen look better.
I washed it (just to be safe) but it was spotless to start with.
When I turned it on I must admit it turned me on a little because I love good craftsmanship and ...POWER...and it has both.
I started dropping apples, celery and carrots in it just to see them disappear in seconds and produce flowing juice into juice jug.
I got a little carried away and filled the jug up so fast it ran over a bit but I just laughed and wiped up the spill.
The juice was great and I drank the whole jug full right away by myself.
For future reference that might not have been the best idea I ever had.
One hour later I realized that all those live enzymes will clean you up and clean you out so next time a 8 oz. glass of that particular concoction will suffice.
All in all this thing works great, looks beautiful and makes me feel I have made a good investment. If you read any bad reviews on this juicer just blow them off because they are truly unfounded.
Oh yea I almost forgot ... Clean up is really easy just 5 minutes at the sink and your done. So if you want a great powerful and beautiful juicer buy a Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor.
I did and I love it.
Customer Review: FANTASTIC! Amazing Juice Extractor, Easy to Clean
Summary: 5 Stars
Five stars is not enough! There should be a ten star rating for this product.
I am a delighted customer and a repeat Breville juice extractor purchaser. In 2004, I purchased my first Breville Juice Extractor. This year I upgraded to the gorgeous stainless-steel Juice Fountain Elite. These Breville products are extremely well made, tough, easy to clean, and work exactly as advertised. My old juicer was given to a friend and still works perfectly. These products are well made and LAST.
I use my Juice Fountain Elite on an almost-daily basis, and on some days, I use my juicer multiple (3-4) times. It performs flawlessly and I believe that it is worth every penny.
The Juice Fountain Elite is much quieter than the previous Breville model I owned. The motor is very powerful, and it produces a high volume of juice compared to the other brands of juice extractors that I have owned in the past.
If you are new to juicing you MUST BUY this juicer to avoid disappointment and frustration that comes with using other, less well made juicers, that are hard to clean. I have been an avid juicer since 2003 and in the first year I was juicing, I burned out the motor on TWO Juiceman Junior juicers and used to get mad at how much work they were to clean.
In 2004 I spent the extra money on the Breville after doing some research and I have to say, I will never purchase another brand of juice extractor. This product has it all.
Don't waste your money on other products, buy the Breville Juice Fountain and you can't go wrong.
Customer Review: This is One Incredible Machine
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this juicer based on some very positive reviews on Amazon. My expectations were high, but this product greatly exceeded them.
I have purchased many products on Amazon over the years, but this is the first time I have ever been motivated to write a review. Of course, it is difficult to describe in words how incredible this machine truly is, and other reviews have provided details so I will not repeat them here - no need for redundancy.
I decided to get a juicer because I liked the idea of being able to create something really healthy to consume in this day and age of processed foods. I'm not a health food nut - I probably eat way too many processed foods. Without going overboard, I wanted to get a quality machine that would do the job, be fun to use, and be easy to maintain. This juicer was clearly one of the most expensive ones out there, but based on the other reviews, I thought I would take a chance.
This machine is incredibly fast. It perfectly separates the juice from the pulp. The only problem is that it is so much fun to use, it's over too soon. This is a machine that is a joy to use, and the quality of the juice product is difficult to describe.
Think of what a Cuisanart does to vegetables, etc., and ratchet up the quality of the result by several orders of magnitude. You're drinking amazingly fresh juice in a matter of seconds, not minutes. It gives new meaning to the word "fresh." And it's simple to clean.
In summary, probably one of the best products of any kind I have ever purchased.
