I prefer the Vitamix, even though the Vitamix is not a juicer. This is the best juicer made for home use. Well made, and well constructed. It has two speeds. One for hard fruits and vegetables, the other for soft fruits and vegetable. The red button shuts it off. It is easy to clean. I highly recommend it.Okay, I am going to revise my review.Before you buy a product, the most important reviews to read are the ones that rate a product the lowest. I have only used my juicer a dozen times. Fruits and vegetables are expensive, so the real cost of a juicer is not the juicer but the cost of stuff you put into it.I personally had no problem using the this juicer. I thought it made juice quickly. I didn't have a problem with juicer leaking like others here have.After reading the one-star reviews, I conclude the following: Breville has poor customer service. This machine only has a one-year warranty compared to much longer warranties given by other manufacturers. Some people like the cheap $90 Jack Lalaine juicer better than than this one. Some people have a problem with the spinning, cutting disk getting dull after very short use.I bought this juicer to make a drink called "Happy's Special" sold at Julio's Juice Bar and Natural Foods Emporium. The drink is made from carrots, beets, apples, cucumbers, celery, spinach, ginger, and garlic. I would add parsley, a splash of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. I juice the beet stalks. This juicer does a good job making this drink which I really can't make in the Vitamix. I add ice to the Vitamix when I make Happy's Special. Julio's adds no ice, and serves it warm.I learned you have to add the garlic and ginger in a shoot full of fruits and vegetable or they will shoot back up the shute or shoot into the pulp container without being juiced. I find that my pulp is relatively dry. I wouldn't use this juicer for juicing soft fruits like blueberries or tomatoes. I think the Vitamix does a much better job on these.Here are some other recipes from Julio's:Valencia: Carrots, beets, and orangesHappy's Special: Carrots, beets, ginger, garlic, celery, parsley, spinach, and apples, cucumberCucumber Summer: Cucumbers, pineapple, and celeryImmune Zoom: Carrots, beets, celery, ginger, garlic, lemons, and orangesClean Sweep: tomatoes, pepper, carrots, celery, and dash of tabasco sauceV-6: Carrots, beets, celery, spinach, tomatoes, and parsleyRuby Red Juice: Carrots, beets, and celeryGreen Goddess: Celery, parsley, spinach, cucumbers, cilantro, romaine lettuce, apples, and limesFantasy: Beets, carrots, kiwi, and blueberryHappy Days: Carrots, beets, and apples.Julio's use a centrifugal juicer to juice carrots, and maybe beets. I am not sure about the beets. He pours the carrot juice (or carrot-beet mixture) into a Vitamix. Then adds the rest of the fruits and vegetables. Whole oranges, apple quarters, pineapples, and blueberries should be "juiced" in the Vitamix. You can even juice a certain amount of carrot in a Vitamix. It is just that carrots (and most likely beets) have too great a ratio of fiber to juice.I would only juice the carrots and beets. You probably lose too much expensive fruit and vegatable in the Breville.I would "juice" the apples, pineapple, ginger, garlic, spinach, and cucumbers in the Vitamix. I think you can juice celery in either machine. I would chop the celery up into one-inch lengths before I added it to the Vitamix because it is stringy.I feed food into the Breville as slowly as I possibly can. The faster you feed food into a juicer, the less efficient it becomes. Just because you can juice a dozen carrots and a apple in a few seconds does not mean you have to do so. I wrap one of my hands around the Breville plunger to prevent my other hand from feeding food too quckly. I literially feed in food as slow as I possibly can, allow the blade of the juicer to do all the work. Remember slower feed means more juice, and less waste.Google Julio's Natural Food Emporium to get a list of their great smoothies. I especially recommend their: Tantra, Planet Energy, and Wai-kee-kee

I love this thing! I was using a smaller less powerful juicer and decided that I needed something faster and that would reduce prep time. I was spending a lot of time cutting my fruit and veggies just so I could get it into my old juicer. To be fair, my other juicer worked fine and did what it was suppose to, it just wasn't efficient for my needs.I love Breville products and I had great expectations for this juicer. I did my research and I knew what I features I was looking for. I wanted something that had a powerful motor to grind through harder fruit and produce with out bogging the motor and I wanted a juicer that had a feed channel that would minimize my prep time. I came across a few models and brands that seemed to fit the criteria, but my love for Breville products (based on experience and not marketing) made my decision simple.After learning more about the juicers that fit my criteria I really felt that buying a juicer that was all metal was in my best interest. Aesthetically it fit my preference and taste and fit in with my current line-up of small kitchen appliances. Materially, the stainless steel seemed a more durable option than the resin plastics of other brands. Additionally, stainless steel in my opinion, is easier to sterilize and holds up well in the dishwasher and I don't have to worry about fading or cracking.Now on to the juicing. I opened the box and to my expectation the juicer was packed well. I came out of the box ready to use. I cleaned the parts that would touch my juice as recommended. I turned on the motor and was surprised at how quiet it was. My smaller juicer sounded like a chainsaw in comparison, not to mention the motor on my smaller juicer was only 125w compared to the 1000w of the 800JEXL. I expected that it would be louder just because of the motor size difference but again it was surprisingly quite.I juiced apples, carrots, celery, oranges, pears, beets, cucumber, kale, spinach and ginger to make my normal juice. It took literally 5 minutes whereas my older juicer took about a half hour. Prep of produce and fruit was easy as I did not need to cut anything. It all fit right into the large feed tunnel - one of the key reasons I bought this juicer. I noticed that I got more juice out of this juicer than my previous one. I know now that is because of the motor and juicing mesh. Because of the motor size combined with the mesh, the combination extracts more juice from the produce and fruit. This ultimately saves me money in the long run although I am not able to quantify that at this point considering I have only been using it for a couple of weeks now.All-in-all, I HIGHLY recommend this juicer! Breville is a GREAT brand and I am pleased with their quality and performance. The description of the machine in the manufacturers marketing is as promised and it is understated in my opinion. I appreciate quality and although this model may seem a bit high in price for some, I can only say you get what you pay for!

en la descripción no es claro que es todo de metal el cuerpo, lo cual es una garantía, porque los de plástico se rompen o desfasan y expulsan el jugo por donde no debe, este es un excelente equipo, todo de una sola pieza de metal, potente motor y totalmente silencioso. dos velocidades, quien pueda pagar lo que cuesta no se arrepentirá de la compra, lo expresa quien ya gastó más en tres aparatos que no duraron ni el año, que en este aparato,

I absolutely love this juicer. I have had it a couple of weeks now and it works great. It is very easy to assemble/disassemble and it is very easy to clean. They provide a little brush to clean out the fine mesh filter and this works great and takes very little time. It says you can put it in the dishwasher, but I never would. It cleans so quick under tap water that I personally see no need to risk clouding the plastic. The juicer is very well made and sturdy. The parts are stainless steel. I think this is well worth the upgrade over the less expensive model that is made with plastic parts. The juice made from this is great. It handles hard and medium items really well. Softer items like spinach are a bit of a challenge. You need to roll up leaves tight and sandwich them between harder items to get the best result. The juice tastes fantastic. It doesn't heat the juice up so you get all of the nutritional benefit of cold extraction. It does take up a fair bit of counter space and you need lots of overhead clearance to move the food plunger in and out of the chute. But, the juicer is functionally attractive and is not an eyesore. I have had no problem with leaks or clogs. I am glad I chose this model.

Es muy fácil de limpiar y de usar. Este es el tercer exprimidor que tengo y rebasa por mucho los otros dos. Hago jugo de apio todos los días para dos o 3 personas y me facilita el trabajo.

After using a less expensive brand, we were looking for something that did not leak from the spout and was easier to clean. After reading reviews, we decided on the 800JEXL. Shipping was next day to our Toronto address and it was double packed by Amazon.ca. We were immediately impressed with the built quality and the unit's appearance on our counter top. It is very easy to use and we like the 2 speeds. We have been using it daily and absolutely love the juice it makes. We place clear produce bags in the pulp bin so cleanup is easier. The motor is a bit loud at the high setting, but the juice that comes out is well worth the noise! Cleaning the parts is simple and only takes a few minutes. The only negative is the plastic picture. After a couple months of use, the juice seems to be eating away at the plastic. While juicing, since the plastic does not have much weight, the picture tends to move. On a product this costly, Breville should have provided a glass picture. Overall, we are very happy with our purchase.

Muy buen extractor, buena potencia, hasta ahora me ha funcionado muy bien
