1. Juice Extractor Reviews
This is my third juicing machine. My first was a Champion which served without problems for
years. On the plus side it was powerful and durable. On the down side it was rather noisy,
vibrated a lot and left a lot of juice in the pulp and was hard to clean. My second juicer was
the omega screw machine which I still have. I bought it because it also did wheat grass. On
the plus side it is quiet and juices anything, makes nut butter and extracts a lot of juice
leaving very dry pulp. On the down side it is slow and worst of all the feed tube is really small.
You have to do a lot of cutting to get things small enough to get into the feed tube. I pretty
much only use it for wheatgrass now. The Breville is the best juicer I have had. It is an
example of good product design in that it is simple, practical and attractive. It is powerful, has
a feed tube large enough to take large whole carrots, beets and small apples. It is quiet,
comes apart easy and cleans up quickly. The capture pitcher which nests into the machine
has a nice cover so you can store the juice for later. If making juice is a hassle you're going
to put off doing it. This juicer makes juicing easy and not a hassle.
I juice at least once a day as I primarily eat raw foods.
My Jack LaLane juicer finally wore out after 2.5 years of daily use. I was tempted to buy
another - but I liked the way everything including the pulp catcher is all in one unit. So glad I
got the Breville.
This thing is POWERFUL, especially compared to "Jack LaLanne". It is so powerful I usually
don't even use the pusher except to cover the top so your ceiling doesn't get covered with
stuff. Other reviewers have mentioned that tendency. What wasn't mentioned is that the
reason it does that is because the motor is so beefy that stuff will shoot straight up.
When juicing soft stuff I immediately cover the top with my hand.
The design of this thing is absolutely first rate. Even down to the plug, which has a moulded
loop so that it is easy to unplug and plug in! No tool is required to remove the basket, as in
most other juicers. Breville uses a combo of ingenious design and magnets to hold it in place!
Ease of use and fit and finish is perfect.
Clean up is really a 2 minute operation and I don't even own a dishwasher. It will stain
eventually, as every juicer I have ever owned does. Carrot juice would make a great dye :-)
The pulp on this juicer is a bit wetter than the Jack LaLanne. The "Jack" had a much larger
basket and a much slower rotation. I believe that may account for it. But it isn't much wetter -
just very slightly.
This juicer makes much smaller pieces of pulp though - and my experience so far has been

2. that it gets just as much juice from a pound of carrots.
Bottom line - I can't imagine anyone not loving this unit.
