Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor
Customer Review: Very Well Built, Very Fast
Summary: 4 Stars
First, let's talk about some juicing myths and facts: Juicing does not save you money. You're better off buying concentrate if that's all you want. Juicing is a little bit of an art form, you can't just toss any fruit/veggie mix in and have it work. It takes some practice. Most people also don't use their juicer as much as they think they will, because juicing takes time to shop for, set up, and clean. People don't realize you're going to have to remove apple stems, peel oranges, cut watermelon, remove apricot and peach pits, etc. All of which takes time, uses counter space, and makes a mess. If you're up for all that, then this is a fine, well made juicer.
There are three basic kinds of juicers. At the top end are mastication juicers, ones with an auger that slowly pressure grinds everything, including rinds, wheat grass and even pine needles, into oblivion. These juicers extract the most amount of juice, and are healthiest and most efficient. They're also slow, and expensive.
Then, there are high speed centrifugal juicers with a blade that makes zillions of dicing cuts to obliterate fruit and veggies, then filter it, and extract the pulp from the juice. This Breville unit is of this type. You lose more fruit this way, as a lot of excessive pulp is spit out, and the units tend to be loud. But they are also fast. This one is maybe the fastest of all. You want to go through an entire crate, (yes, crate!) of apples in 15 minutes? Here's the unit to get.
Finally, there are small citrus juicers. If all you're going to make is the occasional cup of orange, grapefruit or lemon juice, these work fine.
Compared to others in the centrifugal grouping, the Breville is near or at the top of the line. It's a different design than some of the Omegas, which have more stainless steel, but works faster than any of those I've seen. There's nothing wrong with the Juiceman, or Jack Lalanne juicers, which are similar designs. They'll work great for most people, but the Breville JE900 (and similar units) are more robust at their core design. The also have larger openings, and can juice faster than you can believe possible. This unit is so powerfully fast, you can quickly put stacks of several carrots, several stocks of celery, entire small apples, large chunks of other fruit down it's throat and it barely even slows down, just rapidly pulverizing them with amazing speed. The Breville units are also very well built. You;ll notice as soon as you start the thing up and it winds up to speed that this is not a toy.
Why am I only giving this juicer 4 stars? First, it's fairly loud. I guess it's the assurance of robust power, but annoying after a while. Next, it doesn't do the greatest job of extracting juice and separating from pulp. And not just comparing to mastication juicers. You'll get a fair amount of wet pulp with this juicer, more than the Juiceman and Lalanne (which does maybe the best job of the three here at this, but has it's drawbacks too). The Breville sometimes spins so fast that it leaves chunks of fruit and veggies in the pulp section or in the unit. I've even had entire berries just spit right through, with only some slices chipped off and juiced, which is disappointing. Along these lines, it's juicing of fruits such as apples leaves a lot of foam that some other juicers do a better job of grinding up. But it does have a very nice foam stopper in it's container. Finally, it's messy. All juicers are messy to some extent, but this one a little more than normal. If you have decent kitchen space, and a large dishwasher, and don't mind the clean up, then it won't be a problem for you.
Overall, you really need to weigh your juicing needs, and expectations before buying any juicer. If you then determine that this type of unit is for you, there is no reason not to buy the Breville JE900 (or similar) these units are so well made by an obviously high-end company, you'll easily make gallons and gallons of juice, and they'll last you a very long time.
Description of Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor
Prepare delicious, vitamin-rich juices in seconds, thanks to the extra large feed chute and efficient stainless steel micro mesh filter. No need to pre-chop fruits and veggies such as apples, tomatoes, and carrots. Just place them in the chute and push with the pusher. While juicing in bulk, there's no need to disassemble the juice fountain to empty the pulp container, it just slides right out. A powerful motor pushes fruits and veggies through the mesh filter to separate seeds and fiber, maximizing juice output. You can have a glass of juice in 5 seconds, and be through clean up in not much more. The easy clean design has fewer parts and rounded smooth surfaces that can be easily rinsed after use.Juicers
