Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Breville JE95XL Two-Speed Juice Fountain Plus
Customer Review: First Time Juicer
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this juicer on the merits of the high reviews it recieved. For my first foray into juicing I wanted something easy to use and easy to clean up. I didn't want something that would take up a lot of space or be too heavy to lug around.
This juicer fits the bill to a "t".
Since this is my first juicer I can't comment on the power. It seems to do just fine w/the veggies/fruits I have used in it. I love that the pulp is very easily contained with very little mess. The juice spout also comes with a pitcher with a lid and foam strainer. I have noticed very little foam but don't know if this depends on the fruit or the juicer.
Clean up is a breeze. Of course, there are four or five parts (if you use a plastic bag under the pulper you don't need to wash it)however, if I wash them right away (within 1/2 hour) it's fairly easy. Included is a long handled brush to clean up the sharper more intricate parts of the blade. I wash in the sink, but these are dishwasher safe.
Tucks easily in my cupboard taking up very little room. Lightweight, but substantial.
In all, easy easy easy and I love it!!
It's pretty hard to get a five star rating with me, and since this is my first juicer I couldn't give it a five as I had nothing to base it on...and frankly, I've used it only about five or six times....
Customer Review: Great juicer! 5 stars!
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased this juicer and I have to say that I am very pleased and would recommend this machine to anyone looking to get into juicing. I used to own a Greenstar Juicer and while it was a great appliance and was most efficient as a juicer I eventually sold it because it too so long to clean up after juicing. I wanted to get back into juicing on a daily basis and so after reading reviews of the Breville I purchased one and I am thrilled with how it performs. It is very easy to set up and I spend less than 10 minutes cleaning it after juicing (compared to close to 30 minutes for the Greenstar). This means that I feel more inclined to juice regularly. I juice mostly vegetables (beets, carrots, celery, cucumbers, radishes) and it does an outstanding job. It is less efficient with fruit although that does not mean it does a poor job. The fruit is softer and as such the juicer blade can't approach what a slow twin-gear juicer can do in terms of maximum juice output. But it still does an amazing job. If you want to juice but don't have a lot of time to spare this juicer is designed for you. The only other minor issue is that you have to be quick with the plunger when you drop in some veggies as they will kick out the top if you don't cover it at once. But you get used to that rather quickly. I give this juicer 5 stars for value and for ease of use.Customer Review: turbo juicing

I recently purchased a je95XL juice extractor and i have to say I am very pleased. I try to juice once a day, sometimes twice to maintain my energy and organ health. I have used the juiceman 2 and the smaller , less durable braun juicer and this one blows both out of the water in terms of performance. My first day using it i smelled a slight odor of electrical circuits working, but this dissipated shortly and didn't occur again. It's been about two weeks and 12 juicings later.The large opening is able to swallow medium sized apples, oranges and three to four carrots at a time. The motor actually speeds up a bit when feeding the items into the throat. turning the machine on there is a tiny delay, as in a turbo of a car engine, but once wound up, it does its job well. The first setting is quiet, much better than the previous juicers i had. The second setting it sounds like a sports car or jet engine, not loud, but you definitely know its going to chop up some serious roughage. The pulp waste after juicing is near dry, meaning i get more out of the fruit than before. It makes me look forward to keeping my regimen of healthy eating. very nice product ! Cleans better than the others i had.The plastic parts have a finish and smoothness that aids in cleaning quickly. No problems to date. I recommend it.Customer Review: Well but for a few things

I read all the reviews for this juicer and still thought- okay considering Breville's customer service is reviewed as very good then why not go for it?
We encountered the same problems as most-- the motor went out after using it 3-4 times. It just wouldn't even turn on and no sound--perhaps their power cord malfunctions or something since we checked and double checked on various outlets in the house. Also we checked to make sure all the pieces were correctly positioned. Breville was really great-sent us a new one and all we had to do was fedex the old one right back. They paid for the shipping and even supplied the box as ours was tossed.
Onto the actual juicer, it works really well although for oranges, if you do leave the peel on the OJ can be quite bitter. Other than that, nothing else we juiced seemed to cause any problems. Mainly, carrots, apples etc.. These were with skin on. For convienance, just having to wash the fruit or veggie and plopping it in, this juicer is fantastic. Now they just have to work out the glitch in the motor. Like I said before, it's not to do with burning it out with heavy skinned fruit but more likely a power thing since we didn't even get a hum like if the electric was going through.
Customer Review: FAST, EASY & EFFICIENT!
Summary: 5 Stars
After wearing out two juicers in the $50-75 range over the last few years, I learned that the most important features for me are (1) large chute, (2) easy to clean, and (3) powerful motor. After a week of on-line research, I settled on this Breville. IT IS FABULOUS!
I buy local apples, which tend to be smaller than the grocery giants, and they truly do fit in the chute whole. The only cutting I do is to get rid of the carrot ends. I can't believe I spent so much time cutting EACH carrot into thirds to fit into my old machine when this one will take 3-4 at a time!
I use plastic bags to line the pulp bin, and there's very little pulp or mess to clean inside the juicer. Another great feature is that the mesh basket pops right out, while I had to wrestle with the one in my old machine. The Breville motor revs up to speed and zooms through a 5-lb bag of carrots in a jiffy. The only "drawback" is having to watch the pulp bin and pitcher so they don't overflow - everything happens so quickly!
I'm so impressed with the quality of this product that I'm going to replace my old blender with a Breville. YIPEE.
