Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Factory-Reconditioned Breville XXJE95XL Two Speed Juice Fountain PlusCustomer Review: Great solid, well-manufactured juicer for the money Summary: 5 Stars
Although I do have a lot of kitchen appliances I use on a regular basis I don't have a lot of experience with juicers so I wasn't sure what to expect. I looked into the Jack Lalanne juicers and thanks to Amazon's incredibly helpful review system, found that they are not all that well reviewed. This juice had the review profile I was looking for, high on the top tapering to low on the bottom.
My refurbished juicer came well-packaged and if it was ever used I would not have known it. It was completely clean. I was immediately impressed with the quality of the parts. The juicer just feels solid unlike other cheaply made appliances out there. There are some great design features I appreciate like a plug with a built-in finger hold for pulling it out of the socket, a juice collection container with a lid that keeps juice from splattering and a removable piece that keeps the foam out of your poured glass of juice. All of it is easy to clean. I haven't timed myself but I'm guessing it takes less than two minutes to clean. The plastic pieces come apart easily and rinse off quickly. The mesh metal screen is the most difficult part to clean but even that only takes a bit of scrubbing with the included brush. The only time I've had a problem with juice leaking is when I don't have the juice container nestled up against the juicer like it should be.
I've juiced apples, citrus, celery, romaine lettuce, spinach, kale, collard greens, carrots, parsley, ginger, beets, pears and probably something I've forgotten right now. I think it does well with all of them. The amount of pulp left over seems amazingly minuscule to the amount of fruits and veggies I put in. Most of the pulp is quit dry with the exception of citrus pulp. The amount of juice seems to correlate with the moisture content in the fruit/veggie: less juice from greens, (although spinach/romaine lettuce do quite well) more from citrus, apples and pears and others somewhere in between. However, I do feel I get adequate juice from the greens because if they are in my juice mix the entire juice is deep green. My recommendation is to mix high moisture and low moisture fruits and veggies for juice anyway. I did have some problems with blueberries and I'm suspecting due to the nature of the centrifugal juicer I always will. Then tend to spin up and out into the pulp chute before they are juiced. There are other small fruits I'd like to juice so I'm trying to figure out a way around that.
Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this juicer for the price. It was well worth it. I have recently been diagnosed with gastroparesis, (paralysis of the stomach) so have been advised to eat a diet low in fiber,(few raw fruits/veggies and/or whole grains). This juicer has allowed me to get in all of the fruits and veggies I would like to eat and more in a way that my stomach can tolerate. I can juice things that I haven't been able to eat in years and have no problem consuming them. This thing is my new best friend. There are more expensive juicers out there that would probably be even better but like I said, for the price, this one is great. I'm impressed with Breville and when its time to buy another, I'll be looking at them again.
Description of Factory-Reconditioned Breville XXJE95XL Two Speed Juice Fountain PlusWith the ability to juice an 8-ounce glass of juice in five seconds, this 850-watt professional juice extractor features a powerful computer-controlled 14,000 rpm motor, which easily maintains the selected speed when juicing under heavy loads. Its Italian stainless-steel, micro-mesh filter separates the juice from the fiber and seeds of the fruit and vegetables so that maximum juice is extracted. To cut out all preparation time required for juicing, the unit's unique, extra-wide, centrifugal feed chute allows for whole fruits and vegetables to be added without the need for chopping them into pieces first. The juicer's two-speed electronic control offers low speed for juicing soft fruits and vegetables and high speed for more textured fruits and vegetables. For quick, easy clean up, all the juicer's parts are dishwasher safe except for the motor, and for added convenience, a disposable plastic bag can be used to line the large pulp container and then thrown away when finished. A 1-liter juice jug with a froth separator and a large-capacity, 2-1/2-liter, easy-to-clean, removable pulp container are included. This is a factory-reconditioned juicer which includes a 90-day manufacturer's warranty. Always make sure the Juice Fountain is properly and completely assembled before operating. As a safety mechanism, the unit will not turn ?On? unless properly assembled. Always turn the Juice Fountain ?On? to the low or high setting before adding any vegetables or fruits with the food pusher. The motor of the machine must be completely running to ensure proper and full use.
