Breville Juicer Machine – Which Breville Model is Best For You?

I wrote about Breville juicers before (read my Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain review, and other Breville juicer reviews here) – as I think they produce some of the best juicers for the money.

The following is a guest article by Patrick Ray who gives some more insights into the subjects of selecting a Breville machine for your juicing needs.

Breville Juicer Reviews – Which Model is Best For You?
By Patrick Ray

Looking at individual Breville juicer reviews will give you a lot of information about each individual juicer that they manufacture. But what if you don’t know which one is best for you? After all, the prices range from $99 to $499. There’s obviously a difference between them! That’s where a comparison review steps in. In this article we’ll cover all seven of the Breville juicers and talk about what features they have in common and where they differ.

The Seven Breville Juicer Models are:

Juice Fountain Compact BJE200XL at an msrp of $99.00
Juice Fountain Plus JE98XL at an msrp of $149.00
Ikon Multi-speed Juice Fountain BJE510XL at an msrp of $199.00
Die-cast Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL at an msrp of $299.00
Dual Disc Juice Processor BJE820XL at an msrp of $399.00
The Juice and Blend BJB840XL at an msrp of $499.00
Die Cast Citrus Press 800CPXL at an msrp of $189.00

Breville juicer

All of these seven models are manufactured by the same company, Breville, an Australian manufacturer that has been in business since 1932. They are all quite similar except for the last one in the list, the die cast citrus press. We’ll cover that one real quick, since it is so different than the others.

The citrus press juicer is a hand powered press style juicer that juices only citrus; grapefruits, oranges, lemons, etc. It is made of die cast metal to hold up against the acidity of many citrus fruits. It also features a power assisted press, which makes it easier to extract the citrus juice, less muscle needed! The big detraction on numerous consumer juicer reviews is that there is a plastic part under the press that wears out under heavy use.

All right, now let’s cover the other six juicer reviews in this line. The first four in the list, the compact, the plus, the ikon and the elite are all home grade juicers. They are the models that most people will choose to purchase for home juicing.

They are all centrifugal style juicers (vs. masticating, twin gear, single gear, and auger styles). What this means in plain English is that they will juice fast (much faster than the other styles of juicers) but will also heat the juice more than those other types typically do. This is a concern only if you are very particular about your juice heat and enzyme retention. The more fresh juice is heated, the more it loses valuable health promoting enzymes. If this is a concern for you, consider another style of juicer from another manufacturer altogether.

The compact has a 750 watt motor, the plus an 850 watt motor, the ikon a 900 watt motor and the elite has a 1,000 watt motor. For industry standards with centrifugal style juicers, these are good. With centrifugal types, the higher the motor wattage the better.

The first two in the line, the compact and the plus, have a plastic housing in a silver satin finish that mimics stainless steel. The ikon makes the upgrade to stainless steel and the elite to die cast metal. All of the Breville juicers reviewed have a very attractive appearance, however that silver finish on the bottom two models will wear with age.

Other differences are the speed controls. The compact is a one speed juicer. The plus steps it up to 2 speeds, the ikon has a whopping 5 speeds, the elite has 2 speeds.

So between these four, which is the best juicer reviewed? The compact is a great buy for the casual juicer at a low $99. The plus at $149 is a pass due to consumer reports of motor burn-outs. The upgrade to the $199 ikon makes more sense. The elite at $299 and titanium cutting blades is heading into heavy duty juicer territory. It is for users who plan on doing extensive juicing. For most families the compact or the ikon will be perfect.

Now what about those other two juicers? The dual disc juice processor and the juice & blend are both juicer/blender combos. At $399 the dual disc features a durable die cast body, a 1200 watt motor, 5 speed juicing and titanium cutting discs. Just unveiled August 2010 is the $499 juice & blend. It differs from the dual disc in that there are two separate top mounts that can be attached to the motor base. One is a juicer and one is a blender. They are basically two separate machines that share a motor base. The juice and blend also features 5 speed settings and titanium cutting discs. These two are for serious juicing and smoothie making fans, or cooks who want the creme de la creme of appliances in their kitchen!

Breville Juice Fountain Compact Juicer Review: Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain

If you are shopping for a compact juicer, then Breville juice fountain compact juicer BJE200XL may be a perfect choice for you. Breville is an excellent brand, well known and respected in the juicing world, and this little juicer is no exception.

You can enjoy an 8-ounce cup of juice in just five seconds – faster than any other juice extractor – thanks to the unique cyclonic system of this full-function juice fountain. Its powerful 700-watt motor operates at 14,000 RPM for maximum extraction and fast results. The juicer is beautifully designed, with saving your precious kitchen counter space in mind: the compact juice fountain measures only 9-1/2 by 8-3/4 by 16 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Breville BJE200XL is easy to use and clean. All removable parts wash up quickly by hand or in the dishwasher, and a custom cleaning brush is included. Plus, the unit’s internal pulp container assembles in seconds and juices 1-1/2 quarts of apple juice before it needs to be emptied.

The filter and cutter system are so powerful that pineapple can be juiced with the rind on! The juice machine’s extra-large 3-inch feed tube makes it easy to juice whole fruits and vegetables – no need to waste time on cutting them into pieces.

This juicing machine really makes it easy to add juices to your diet every day!

Read some testimonials from people who purchased this Breville compact juicer

WOW – Way better than expected!

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 molded 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 that it gets just as much juice from a pound of carrots. Bottom line – I can’t imagine anyone not loving this unit.” By Ed Osworth “The Joy Professor” (Lowell, Oregon Forest)
