Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Breville JE95XL Two-Speed Juice Fountain PlusCustomer Review: My first juicer, had it 4 months and still use it 3 times a week! Summary: 5 Stars
At least 3 times a week, if not more!
MY PRE-BUYING CONCERNS: My concern with buying my first juicer was just that. Would I use it regularly or would it be relegated to my cabinet dedicated to dinosauric, dusty appliances? (Actually, this new toy has me considering moving my blender to that cabinet--although I may start using both in concert for some beautiful smoothies)
WHICH BREVILLE TO BUY:So once I decided the Breville was my choice, I had to decide between the top of the line Breville (that beautiful beast that is forged in one metal piece) or this more plasticine model. This one beat the other by at least 100 bucks and it still looks great on the counter-- so the choice was easy. The motor is still very strong, and I'm a clean freak so I wasn't worried about the plastic staining, etc. (I have had no staining in the four months of use)
CLEAN UP CONCERNS: My second concern, which relates to the first, is what kind of chore would the clean up be? I put my trust in all the other reviewers here that assured me it was a quick clean up. You were right! I have everything washed and in the drainer in under 5 minutes. The only exception is sometimes the filter takes a little bit longer. I use an old oscillating electric toothbrush on it to really clean it finely (but I'm super nit picky) If you want to drink your juice and can't wait for the quick clean up, have a bowl waiting with soapy water and put your filter in there until you can get to it. Just quickly rinse the pulp out of the other parts until you can get to them. I definitely recommend following the tip of other reviewers and lining the pulp bin with a produce bag or any plastic grocery bag.
ACCESSORIES: I bought the Juicing Bible that other reviewers have recommended. A great choice, and I now keep it next to the juicer at all times for quick looks ups, i.e., "I have some ginger, what can I do with it?" Flip open the Juicing Bible to Ginger and see what drinks are made with it. Voila! I also use those GREEN BAGS and they are invaluable at keeping my vegies/fruit fresh until I can juice them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED They keep the vegies from off gassing some kind of chemical that makes them break down fast. Make sure vegies/fruit are thoroughly dry before putting them in the bags,squeeze the air out and use a twist tie, or better yet the twixit quick bag sealers sold on Amazon. I have kept lettuce for weeks that way.
WHAT I HAVE "FED" MY BREVILLE:
I have juiced Beets (my Breville chewed'em up quick as lightning as if were saying "Is that all you got?") Ginger, cukes, grapefruit, oranges, watermelon, small WHOLE Bosc pears, small WHOLE Granny Smith apples (although I do try to cut out the seeds now unless I'm in a big hurry), rolled up Collard Greens, parsley (rolled in Kale or some other big leaf) and of course, carrots by the half dozen! I do try to buy organic, but I also use Trader Joe's vegie wash. On shopping days the kitchen is full of colanders of vegies and fruit in the process of being washed or drying.
HELPFUL HINT: I make my dog's food in a crock pot and I now add my juice pulp to it. Gives fiber to the food and he likes it. I imagine if you feed your dog wet food you could easily stir it into that as well.
THE NOISE FACTOR: Speaking of my dog, he's old and doesn't like loud sounds, (he pees himself when I use my hand blender!) With the Breville he doesn't seem to hear it at all. I mention that because others have said it was loud. I don't find the Breville loud, (I have an open plan type house and use it regularly while guests are still sleeping with no problem)
THE PAY OFF: When I drink a glass of freshly squeezed juice I immediately feel good, can't explain it, but it's like my body is saying "thank you". I must say Pears and Grapefruit are gorgeous together. I juice the grapefruit first then grab a little of the grapefruit pulp out of the pulp bin and throw it in the juice pitcher before I process the pears. My husband, who is not a health nut of any kind, has loved everything so far except the beets (I think it was the color that put him off). Also we like the FOAM, I would recommend trying the pitcher without the foam guard first to see what you like. I hope anyone that is considering buying a juicer will enjoy the Breville in good health!
