Breville - Juice Fountain® Cold Electric Juicer - Silver

Relatively easy to use. Follow simple directions supplied by manufacturer. I find that if I put some Kale Like one bunch, trim the stalks down a little, first then a couple Granny Smith's or Fuji apples, couple Celery, a Carrot and a peeled Lemon. It makes a great tasting healthy drink. I've heard you can add a little ginger too but I've not tried nore do I know the quantity but the nice thing too is the mash/pulp left over with the apple makes a good salad. No need for dressing because some of the juicy apple and lemon ends up providing all the moisture you need if trying to be healthy. In the amounts listed above you end up with 19-28 oz of drink and 3 cups of mash/pulp. I store that in a plastic container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Eat what I want and drink the juice all up in a few minutes. Healthy and tastes good. Kale has a strong taste reminds you of Celery. Easy to rinse clean if done while fresh so don't let it dry. still comes off easy anyway but easier if done while moist. Line your pulp catching pitcher with a very small trash bag and makes that clean up very easy and just remove/dump what you want into a bowel for salad if you desire. Overall this is a great juicer takes up about a little space as the top of my microwave which is where I put it and if I turn it sideways I can store and or use my med size crock pot next to it or my toaster.

Got this after watching a documentary about juicing. Been using this about a month now and love it! Already lost 13 lbs and feel so much better! I didn't know anything about juicing and glad I went with this brand. I don't really know much about the "cold" part of this. It makes sense that less heat means less loss of nutrients during the juicing process. It's only $30 more than the regular fountain Breville juicer. So it's worth it. What I do love about it is that the pitcher is big enough to juice for our family of four or even have left over for a later time. The 2 speeds work very well. Use the lower speeds for watermelon, honey dew, grapes, etc. use the fast setting for harder fruits and veggies like apples, pears, pineapples, carrots, kale, etc. Sometimes u can run the pulp back in again to get every ounce of juice out. For those who say cleaning is hard: It's only hard if you don't clean the juicer just after juicing. You can't let it sit or the pulp will harden and even leave a stain. Don't just wash it, use a sponge and soap and wipe it down quickly. Spend a good time scrubbing the metal juicing part (I don't know what it's called) so that the pulp doesn't dry on it. From cutting to juicing to cleaning should be less than 20 min if using the whole 70oz pitcher. I've been using this twice a day religiously for about a month now. Still works awesome! Make sure you get it on sale! For the price and features it's a good buy!

Love it love it love it! Be certain to always clean the filter after each and every juicing session. I normally juice the max 70 oz to be as efficient as possible. Love the big portal for consumption of fruit/veggies to be juiced up; less prep time this way compared with cold pressing masticating juicers; where a lot of prep is required. I'm busy; so the most I have to do is cut an apple or green pepper in half instead of instead 1/4 or 1/8's. Take your time though as you don't want to clog it up as too much too soon will allow for pulp to come through and juice to not be as fine as one might desire. Not a big deal for me as this only happens when my daughter gets carried away (10 years old) with carrots. If you are looking to lose weight or like me; simply supplement your clean/healthy diet with micro-nutrients on a daily basis; don't go cheap; spend the dough and get this beast! All in all; total checkout as around $230 with two year protection plan and best of all said protection plan allows for complete replacement as opposed to sending in unit to be fixed; so you never lose a moment of juice ecstasy! Life long and Juice On!

I bought this juicer hoping it would be a good quality, able to juice soft and hard produce. As of now I have zero complaints and I use it 1-2 times a day, every day. It came with a special tool/brush that cleans the strainer well, I don't much have use for both speeds. I always push it the maximum speed and it juices everything I throw at it; kale, carrots, peppers, oranges, lemons, cucumbers, ginger root, spinach, apples, pretty much anything in the refrigerator. The juice shoots out fine into the pitcher and it's easy to clean. The pulp lands in the storage unit (I line that ahead of time with a bag). Cleanup is about 3 minutes in total. The stuff moves so fast that it eventually scuffs the plastic, almost like sand paper. Sounds seems very acceptable, especially at the speed it moves at. The juice is cool and doesn't seem heated or warmed at all. So far, I love this thing.

I bought this juicer after reading recommendations on many different sites. I found the juicer to have too many parts however I haven't owned a juicer before and therefore cannot make the best comparison. If it were just that I would be ok with washing parts. I did however feel that there was too much pulp leftover. When I refer the pulp back in, there was more juice that came out. I did this several times until the pulp was completely dry and no juice was being extracted. I know it is pricier but I believe there are better juicers out there. I will just use my Vitamix and add some water to make juice instead. The juice that it did make however was very tasty hence the 2 stars.

I had bought another juicer that was very affordable at first to see if I liked juicing so when I was ready I upgraded and hit the mother load! It works like a champ, quick, doesn't heat the juice, waaaaay easier to clean and the measured jug has a tuber seal to keep the liquid freash all day! It even comes with a tuber spot so you can use another container of a different size. I'm living it. I didn't know what I was missing with my old juicer until I bought this one

The reviews can be misleading. I thought Breville was suppose to be one of the top of the line Brands? My 39.99 Oster shred fruits and vegetables down to a dry pulp. The brevilles design is easier to break down vs. other brands for cleaning between juices. However, the area above the screen gets clogged faster than the waste basket. Carrot pulp would be moist enough for cake. The juice container is a perfect size, but even without using the pusher, pulp ends up in the juice. Being nearly $200, I'd thought the juice would be clearer!

We use ours at least once a week and we mix in a banana with the fresh juice in a blender! It’s delicious and the machine works great. Be sure to do your research on which speed is best for the type of fruits/veggies you’re juicing to get the most juice. Also I highly recommend the replacement plan! If anything happens they give you a brand new one, no questions asked. So be sure to purchase that because even if the blades are just dull you can get a brand new one. It’s so worth the little bit extra.
