I got my juicer as a gift almost four years ago. I have used it frequently and I love it as much as the day I got it. I read all sorts of bad reviews for this particular machine, and noticed that many of them were complaining about wet pulp and chunks of not-so-juiced fruits and veggies. I really don't think that any juicer that is not made for commercial use is going to give you one container of foam-free sparkling juice and another container of saw dust. This is the best juicer that I have found and if you are going to be picky about damp pulp, not being able to fit 5" apples into a 3" chute, and noise as loud as a vacuum cleaner, you need to chill out or design it yourself. This machine is easy to clean, sturdy, efficient, powerful and durable ~ the best juicer for the money.

I have only owned two juicers in my lifetime, so take that into consideration while reading this review. If you are looking for power and convenience this is the juicer for you. It can juice anything, and the quality of the juice that flows out is gorgeous. A good way to differentiate between good quality and bad quality juicers, so some people have told me, is to juice spinach. If it can juice it without producing a slimy substance, with little foam, it passes the high quality standard. With this juicer I can juice a whole bundle of spinach in a couple seconds with no problems at all, and it is completely liquid.

The best part about the juice, though, is that it literally takes about three minutes to clean. Very convenient.

Now, I juice like a pro! Creates great natural juice from fresh ingredients. Must have.

I got the Breville and am asounded by its simplicity to use and clean. I've been juicing about every other day and have had no problems. There is some prep work, especially larger sized fruits and vegetables, but it's minor. It takes me about 3 minutes to clean it up. I throw the very dry pulp (along with my coffee and tea grounds)out in my flower beds for the birds and worms to feast on. One day I plan to use the pulp in my cooking. For now, the birds and worms can have a feast and I enjoy the juices freshly made!

This machine is not a flimsy plastic juicer that you worry about whether a carrot will break the mechanism. No, this thing is a power house. It sounds like an airplane taking off and takes a good while to stop once you turn it off.

Very simple to use, fairly easy to clean, it does not make a mess. The juice strainer is very thick (high quality) and it seems built to last. It has no problem getting through fruit or vegetable I've thrown its way and the juice is great (good volume and no pulp gets through).

just one heck of a juicer, sure its as loud as a vacume cleaner, but it does the job

I was skeptical. I thought that it would require a lot of prep work and a lot of Cleanup. I actually came to Amazon and bought this product on the word of the people who gave their comments. I'm so happy that I did. I have seen quality products before, but this product is the best. It cleans up really easily, the prep work is slight, and it produces the best juice that you could ever wish for. This juicer does a very good job of separating the juice from the solids. I've had my juicer for about a month so far and I have juiced carrots, apples, oranges, kuiwei, grapes, strawberries, pears, etc, etc... This thing is great. The only thing that is not exactly right is that it says that it juices whole apples. IT can if the apple is small enough, but usually, I have to slice it. However, it's a great product.

We have been using the Breville for about a month now, and what a joy it is... it's fast, easy due to it's large funnel capacity, and there is no mess due to the design. We make our juices in the morning before leaving for work without worrying about big clean-up problems which were once daunting when juicing. We have not, for a moment,regretted our purchase.

Had the juicer for about 2 months. Great design, very easy to clean, works very well. Hopefully it will last considering it's very low price!

This is the second juicer I've purchased. Breville is so much better than my old Juicer. A lot stronger and easier to assemble. Got a second one for my parents.

Great juicer. It's fast and reliable. However, it isn't the best engineering. The plastic isn't durable and would most likely easily break if dropped. Good juicer for the price you're paying, though.

I bought this product about 1 month ago.
You could get anything better for the price.
I am very happy with the performance of these juicer.

It is a good juicer with nice looks. The design of parts is smart and that makes it easier to clean. It is a bit noisy though, but I guess it's because of its powerful motor. And contrary to what the maker says about juicing whole apples etc, that's really not true. I have to slice anything bigger than a small fruit/vegetable. But I have no issues with that. It takes me about 15-20 min from washing/peeling fruit/vegetable to cleaning the juicer. Overall I'm happy with my buy, and I've been using it daily since the day it arrived!

Easy to use, easy to clean, and easy on the tastebuds! No matter what I mix up in this juicer it comes out tasting good!

This particular juicer has a really strong motor. We have made straight orange juice, or combined several different fruits and vegetables. The juice is always perfect! The structure makes clean up pretty easy too.

My first juicer but I have no complaints at all. I read a 100 reviews of different juicers and went with this one. I don't have any regrets at all. Been making juice drinks almost everyday since I got this last week. Delicious!

This juicer made my day when I first used it! I've been using it everyday since then as it takes a minute to make the juice and a minute to rinse the parts. Very strong machine, the noise is not too bad - if you turn radio on - and the juice itself... the best i've ever had. Delicious thick juice with a colorful foam on top. Fun to make one or two glasses just for yourself or plenty for friends and family. It's so fast and simple to use that it can easily become your daily routine to make a glass or two a day. Just keep plenty of washed and dried fruit and veggies in the fridge so you can throw some in the juicer after a long day at work. I swear you will have a great mood for the rest of the evening.

Fast, powerful and easy to clean juicer. Infinite varieties of juice mixes - we throw in what ever we find in the fridge and the juice comes out tasting great - more importantly you can taste that wonderfully refreshing freshness which is impossible to get anywhere else except a Juice shop.
Only gripe is that the solids separated are moist to wet (wasted juice) - already you feel that you are wasing the precious dietary fibre by discarding the solids.

I have owned this juicer for 8 months now. I researched all the juicers on the market, checked them all out in the stores and this came up best. It is sturdy, solid and powerful. yes it does sound slightly like a jet airplane on start up but thats only because the motor has the power to juice 5 carrots at once without any effort or motor slow down. The unit is easy to clean, the design could be slightly improved to make it easier but its a minor point.

One thing to note with "Stainless Steel Micro Mesh Cutter and Filter" sieve this can get clogged quite easily unless you scrub it immediately after use.The advertising says its easy to clean but that sucker gets clogged no matter what. I tried EVERYTHING to unclog it including using an air compresser, but after trial an error I found soaking it in a Clorox water mixture unclogs it and shines it back to new, no effort..

So there are some slight problems to this unit but isnt there always? Overall 5+ stars. I got two of my friends to buy this unit and they love it as much as me, I will never buy another juicer.. Good job Brevelle on a fantastic Juicer

This machine is HUGE - you will have a hard time finding a place to store it in your kitchen. But more importantly, it doesn't squeeze the fruits to extract juice very well, rather it shreds the fruit and then tosses it into the pulp container missing about 20% of the juice it could have extracted. It is also very LOUD...it's twice as noisy as a standard vacuum cleaner - no kidding - so not a good option if you live in a condo.

This was the 3rd juicer I tried in this price category, and it was by far the most substantial appliance, the easiest to clean, and seemed to be the most efficient juicer. However, to maximize juice extraction on any machine, try re-juicing the pulp; there always seems to be enough moisture left in the pulp to re-juice and get that extra ounce. One really great feature on this juicer is the ingeniously designed pitcher it comes with which has a removeable strainer (we don't like the foam) and a lid, so you can pop the leftovers in the fridge. My kids and all their friends love this recipe: 2 apples, 4 carrots, and a hunk of fresh ginger. We call it the ginger cocktail - Yum! Happy juicing!

Excellent juicer, very powerful, the feet chute is wide enough to accomodate even medium sized apples and large cucumbers as well. It's not as loud as I expected and meshes aesthetically with my other modern appliances. The pulp is bone dry (with a slower juicing hand) and a lot of juice is extracted from each piece of fruit/vegetable. All in all it was money well spent and is a product I use often. It's also very easy to clean!

It's easy to clean, and the best thing is that I don't have to peel the fruit beforehand.

This is an excellent unit.
Things to keep in mind:
1) Use a bag to line the waste container before you juice.
2) Clean up juicer first, especially the filter using the included brush, before you drink the juice.
3) Let the juicer take the veggies and other 'product' at its own pace. When I forced the product through the unit, the pulp was still moist. When I let the juicer take its time, and pushed lightly on the plunger, it took more juice from everything.
4) Use a standard citrus juicer for oranges, lemons, and grapefruits.
5) Consider using alternative means of 'juicing' bananas.

This motor is amazing, the plastic construction is amazing, the price is just right.

It's easy to use and does a great job exracting the juice from any vegetable or fruit. It's also very easy to cleanup, especially with the brush that comes with it.

This is by far the best juicer we've owned in several years and models of juicers. We don't find the noise objectionable because it juices so quickly, its over before you know it. Nicely separates the pulp and you get more juice per piece of fruit or vegetable. Assemble and disassemble easily. Part are a little bulky to store, but that is probably not avoidable. Highly recommend.

Very efficient and fast, easy to clean, good design saving the space. Rate 4++.

I had a juicer but it was a pain to cut the vegetables/fruits into tiny pieces; to peel oranges and lemons before juicing.

This extractor is recommended in Natalia Rose's The Raw Food Detox Diet (shameless plug for a great book!), so I shelled out the money and I really like this juicer. Clean up is a breeze; you can put entire apples and lemons and whatever straight into the feed tube.

It's keeping me juicing every morning!

My goal was to have fresh juice everyday. With this juicer I enjoy the process as well as the delicious juice it produces. Everyone that I asked about concerning juicers when I was researching to buy one, told me to make sure that it said in the advertisement that it was easy to clean. So I will testify that this juicer is easy to clean, easy to assemble and just an all around great juicer! I love making my juice everyday. Sylvia

I bought this after reading everyone's reviews on many juicers on Amazon. What a help you all were. Thank you!! I am very pleased with this juicer. I got a great deal on it on e-bay, brand new someone received as a gift & never wanted to juice, boy did they miss out!! I've never juiced before, so I think this is a great "first juicer". I am juicing every single day, spending tons of money on great organic veggies. Unbelievably delicious. So we shall see how long this machine will last. I suppose I should've bought the one with 2 speeds, but I somehow missed that model when I was looking. I would like a slower speed option to juice the softer fruits. Oh well. The only other thing is that this machine is HUGE. Oh well, for that also. It sits on my counter all the time, cuz I use it everyday........if you lack counter space, you may not use it as often. Make sure you put a plastic bag in the pulp chute for easy cleaning afterwards.

I had a hamilton beach juicer years ago. This one is much better. Great design. Easy to clean.

This juicer will do a great and clean job of extracting juice if you're juicing hard fruits or vegetables.
For softer fruits and vegetables, it can make a mess, and your pulp will tend to be on the mushier side. Sometimes pulp and juice will shoot out and drip down the sides, which makes cleaning a witch.
This juicer is powerful, loud, and quick.

Our juicer had issues after a few months.
Customer Service at Breville is horrible.
It was a long time before they sent me a replacement.
After all the calls and headaches, you wonder if it's worth it.
Nightmare.

I just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of support for this juicer. I'm not a hard core juice aficionado like some of the folks posting about the moistness of their pulp. All I know is that since purchasing it several months back, I've used it every weekend to juice carrots, beets, apples, grapes, strawberries, pineapple, oranges, and grapefruit - all to good effect. I don't find it particularly noisy, effective in extracting some mad delicious juice, and easy to break down and clean. The wet stuff, like citrus, does make for some wet pulp but for the harder stuff - like carrots - it practically spits out dust. I used to work in a health food restaurant for years, and we had an old Champion juicer. I loved it, and loved the fact that it made gnarly peanut butter which the Breville won't do, but for the price, the Breville rocks it up and all for under a C-note. The Champion, last I saw, was like $350. And, it's way harder to clean up IMHO. Breville bottom line: cheap, efficient, easy to clean. If you are trying to add juice to your life for better health, this is the way to go. In just three months, I've lost weight, added lean muscle mass, regrown my receding hair line, developed x-ray vision and can lift objects under fifteen pounds just by thinking about it...

My neighbor purchased this same juicer and paid much more for it. I have been using it everyday since its arrival. It does tend to make alot of noise but it juices so fast that it does not matter. Take the time to read the manual and you will not have some of the results I have been reading about in the reviews. The pulp does come out nice and flakey and can be used in other dishes. So far I have juiced everything I can think of and have gotten wonderful results. It is a good value. Just ask my neighbor.
