Best Juicer Machine Review

The Breville 700 Watt Compact Juice Fountain has grown quite a large following among rawfoodists and sits at the no1 spot in Amazons Best sellers list for Juicing Machines so we thought it only fair that we gave it a thorough “going over”.

Power is what makes this machine tick

The Breville’s electric motor kicks out 700 watts of refined power, spinning the stainless steel mesh basket
at 14,000 RPM. Users have commented how they need to keep the plunger/pusher over the feeding aperture when in
operation due to the power of the machine projecting diced fruit and veg’s out from the top and plastering their ceilings in a fruity collage, yes it’s that powerfull !

Juice extraction

To put this into perspective, you can expect to produce 1/4 of a litre of juice in only 5 seconds of use and seeing as how
the machine can juice 1.4 litres at a time before it is full, you should be looking at around 30 seconds for a full load,
which would not be bad at all if the pulp collector would collect all the pulp in one sitting, unfortunately the Compact Breville uses a closed pulp collecter which will need emptying before you manage to get your 1.4 litres from the machine. If you are juicing for more than 4 glasses at a time then just be aware you will need to empty the pulp out before a full load is complete.

The juice is generally good and extraction is effecient for a machine of this diminutive size and price which will easily outgun machines costing much more than the $85 – $90 this will cost you at Amazon.

Fruit Size matters

The Breville compact Juicer sports a 3 inch (7.6 cm) feeding shoot, easily allowing large chunks of fruit and veg, small apples, oranges, brocoli, carrots to go in whole with no fuss and the machine has no problems at all in chopping and juicing them up.

Sometimes you will have some chunks that will be fed into the pulp chamber unjuiced that have been forced through due to the powerfull motor’s actions but this is a small negative and these can be re-fed through the machine to make sure you get every last drop of juice.

Quality

Breville are known for producing high quality, robust products and the Compact Juice Fountain is no exception which is evident from the solid feel of the unit.

Cleaning the Breville

Everyone wants to know how easy a machine cleans up after a juicing session and it is an important factor in determining whether a purchase should be made. The Breville is probably one of the easiest of electric juicers in this respect with 3 dishwater parts that will need cleaning. The parts do come apart very easily for cleaning and will take you no more than 5 minutes to do a thorough clean even if you clean them manually with the brush provided. This was an important factor that we found to be mentioned numerous times from satisfied customers.

Overall impressions

Whilst the Breville Compact Juicer isn’t perfect, it does a pretty good job of being near at this crazy price, it’s little wonder it owns the mantle of Top Juicer Machine in Amazon’s
best seller’s list.
