Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor: A Review
Are you looking for a way to consume more fruits and vegetables everyday? If you find it difficult to eat enough fruits and vegetables to stay healthy, juicing may be your best alternative. With a juice extractor like the Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL, you can drink your way to health.
Many people know about the health benefits we can get from fresh fruits and vegetables- lower blood pressure, healthy skin and eyes, improved digestion, protection against cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer, etc. Unfortunately, most of us find it difficult to eat the recommended amount of vegetables and fruits. And let’s face it; sometimes eating vegetables just doesn’t seem too appealing.
You can make delicious fresh fruit and vegetable juices at home with the Breville juice extractor. It has a powerful 1000-watt motor that can easily process and extract juice from most fruits and vegetables. The Breville has 2 speed controls, allowing you to select the best speed to extract the most juice from your produce. Harder fruits and vegetables like apples and carrots can be processed at high speed, while leafy greens and softer fruits such as grapes, watermelon and tomatoes can be juiced at lower speed.
Product Description
The Breville Juice Fountain Elite comes with a beautiful die-cast steel housing, a micromesh filter made of stainless steel, and titanium plated cutting disk. The circular feed chute measures 3 inches across and can easily accommodate most whole fruits and vegetable. It also comes with a pulp container, juicing pitcher, and owner’s manual/recipe book.
Using the Breville Juice Fountain Elite: Why You’ll Love It
Even if you’ve never used a juice extractor before, you’ll find that the Breville is easy to assemble and use, thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions. You may want to try the delicious recipes that come with the machine, but once you get the hang of it you’ll find that it’s easier (and more adventurous) to simply throw in whatever fruits or veggies you happen to have. Carrots go well with orange juice. You may also want to try a combination of apples, carrots and celery. The fresh taste is out of this world!
The best thing about the Breville Juice Fountain is that it works so quickly. You can have a full glass of juice in a matter of minutes. You may have to slice a large apple or carrot in half so it will go down the feed chute, but most of the time you won’t have to prep or slice your fruits.
Leafy greens and other fibrous vegetables are usually difficult to juice, but the Breville can handle them quite well as long as you process them along with juicier fruits and vegetables.
The Breville can extract a lot of juice, leaving the pulp almost dry. This is something that cannot be said of most other juicers. For best results, use the right speed. Apples, pears, carrots and the like can be juiced at high speed. For softer fruits that contain a lot of juice as well as for fibrous vegetables, the lower speed is better. It also helps if you feed the fruits or vegetables slowly into the juicer.
Personally, one of the things I hate most when using a juice extractor is the cleanup part. Sure, it takes about a minute to zap the fruits but you spend 30 minutes cleaning up. That’s not my idea of fun.
Fortunately, cleanup is a breeze with the Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL. It’s best to wash the juice extractor right away, before it starts to dry up. You can wash the top parts by hand or use the dishwasher. The Juice Fountain comes with a brush for cleaning the wire mesh and cutting blades. You don’t have to worry about fruit or vegetable stains because the Breville has stainless steel parts and housing.
Most important, the Juice Fountain makes great quality juice that tastes fantastic. The pulp is dry and you get a lot of juice. This means you are extracting most of the nutrients in the fruits and vegetables.
The Breville 800JEXL is a great machine. Now you have no excuse not to drink up your fruits and vegetables every day.
Cons
In general, customers have very few negative feedbacks on the Breville juicer. It’s fast, easy to use and efficient. A few customers, however, experienced problems with the extractor spitting fruit pieces up the feed chute or passing unprocessed chunks.
There’s a simple solution to this. Use the plunger to push the food down the feed chute. When juicing large pieces of hard fruits or vegetables push the plunger slowly and you won’t have any problems.
Limited Warranty
Most juice extractors and similar kitchen appliances have 5 to 10 years warranty. The Breville 800JEXL only comes with a 1 year warranty. This may turn off customers who want an assurance of the quality of the product. However, the quality of the product makes people want to get it any way.
Conclusion
All told, this is a fantastic juice extractor for the price. It’s fast and easy to clean up. You get great-tasting juice in no time at all, which is an amazing way to stay healthy. The Breville really delivers on its promise. You get all the health benefits of fresh fruits and vegetables in a delicious glass of juice, courtesy of the Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL.
