5.0 out of 5 stars A great portable juicer *EDIT for 2016*

I've been using this juicer daily for about a month now. I am very happy with the product. The main things I like about it is the easy cleanup and how easy it is to move around."What?!? Easy to move around?"You heard right. This juicer is smaller and more compact (basically meant for 1 or 2 servings per use), yet still does a GREAT job on juicing. Since I travel by car quite a bit for work, I appreciate that it isn't too heavy to carry around. It sets up quickly and the cord is long enough to reach AC outlets in a hotel room. Then when I come back from a day of work on-site, I stop at the local grocery store and pick up some produce. My particular blend is cucumbers, spinach, yellow bell pepper, dill or cilantro, celery and a tomato. I've been in the middle of Nebraska and have been able to find these basic things. Wash them up quick, flip on the machine, and run it all through in about 2 minutes.I drink the juice while cleaning the machine. If you clean up right after juicing, most of it consists of running the parts under the tap water in the sink. If the sink is too small use the bathtub faucet instead. The micro-mesh basket gets three rounds of scrubbing (all under the stream of running water): once inside, once outside, then another light pass on the inside. All the particulate matter is gone and the mesh is perfectly clean.Juicing is a way of life for me now after seeing and feeling the dramatic health benefits. There is no way I am going anywhere without a juicer ever again. I did for one work trip and really paid the price. I felt horrible in comparison to how I feel when consuming green juice. The bathroom visit(s) weren't any fun either. :(I wanted to address the valid complaint that this thing doesn't do leafy greans very well. Yup, that is true. I have a friend who showed me just how much juice you can get from spinach with a masticating juicer. It can be 30-50% less juice with a centrifugal juicer. However, I look at it as time saved juicing is more valuable to me on the road then squeezing out more for my money (pun intended). Most people pay for convenience, and there is no doubt that it is easier to pay a bit more to get the same volume of juice, not too mention the speed, and the minimal effort spent getting it through this machine.Easily the best 100 dollars I've ever spent. Consider this a cheap investment into life.*Edit* July 10, 2016So it's been over 4 years that I've had this machine, and it still works almost as good as the day I bought it. I did need to get an additional wire mesh basket from Breville. I wasn't paying attention and accidentally put a non-pitted dried date in with the leafy greens bunch I was juicing. Well that pit really did a number on the unit and I thought I broke the juicer completely. After cleaning it up and inspecting the damage, it was only the wire mesh that had a couple big ugly holes in it. The other replacement was because it was taking longer than usual to juice up carrots and other hard vegetables. Getting a new grating disc fixed that up right quick.I initially got the juicer because it was nearly a medical emergency and I had to learn to eat right. Completely immersing myself into juicing did exactly what the proponents of juicing claim. I quickly lost weight (doctor approved with 3 month visits) and all my health numbers within 3 months were nearly in the perfect range and they have just stayed there since. After 2 years of pretty constant juicing (I'd estimate about 75%), I'm in better shape than I have ever been, exercise daily now, and still use the juicer about 3 times a week to this day. My routine is get up at 5:30 in the morning, do about 30 minutes of exercise, shower, juice and enjoy, then tackle the day. My job has changed to sitting all day at a desk so I eat very sparingly. Some days the morning big serving of juice is all I have for the day.For me, this product enabled a way of improving my life to such an extent that I look forward to what every day holds now. Still the best $100 I've spent. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Works well for the cost, but not perfect

When I was looking into juicers, I heard good things about Breville. Although I didn't buy one of the high-end models or brands used by true raw foodists, I feel pretty happy with my Breville Compact Juice Fountain. On the plus column, it's a nice size for two and fits under the counter. It's a breeze to assemble and disassemble, it juices quickly and easily, and cleaning is a cinch. Breville includes a brush for cleaning the juicer's mesh interior screen, and that is very handy. I clean the whole juicer as soon as I'm done, and I haven't had any problem at all getting to the machine's nooks and crannies, unlike some kitchen appliances I've had in the past. Most of the juicer is even dishwasher safe, although, I don't clean it that way most of the time. It's easy enough to do by hand, and then it's always ready for my next juice craving.On the negative column, it's not great at juicing leafy greens. I'd looked forward to that, but this type of juicer just doesn't do a very thorough job. It seems to just immediately throw the leaves to the inside of the pulp container. Being a leafy greens fanatic, I hate to just waste leaves that could have made a marvelous meal. Luckily, outside of leafy greens, there's still plenty that it is good at juicing - fruits and vegetables like celery, bok choy, broccoli stalks, cauliflower stalks, cabbage, carrots, pears, apples, peeled citrus fruit... I like to do an 80/20 mix of vegetables to fruit. I often plan to bring extra juice with me to work for an afternoon pick-me-up but I've yet to have the restraint. I can't help but drink it immediately. The crisp and thirst quenching juice is irresistible.I can't compare the dryness of the remaining pulp to other juicers since this one is my first, but I can say that it isn't completely dry afterward. It has the feeling of mashed potatoes. I've tried running it through the machine again, but the few droplets of juice it produces come out like sludge. For the most part I like the juicer, and so I've started finding other uses for the remaining pulp.One thing I've done is make my own vegetable broth. Before adding any fruits, I juice only the vegetables. Then I remove all of the vegetable pulp from its catcher and put it into a pot with water. I bring the water to a boil and then lower it to a simmer. I let it simmer for about an hour and add in any additional herbs I like. (I often choose homey herbs like thyme, rosemary, and basil.) Once it has finished cooking, I run the broth through a fine mesh sieve to catch all of the pulp. I use it in any recipes calling for broth or when I want to add more color and nutrients to my cooked grains. (Most people stay away from using green vegetables for broth because of the color, but I don't mind it.) If it's more broth than I want to have on hand, I pour it into an ice cube tray, freeze it, and then I can use just as many cubes as I need at a time.Another way I've used the pulp is by incorporating it in smoothies. After I'm done juicing, I mash the pulp into an ice cube tray and store it in the freezer. When I'm making green smoothies, I just add a few extra cubes for extra nutrition, flavor, and texture.

Excellent Juicer

Bought this because my slow-masticator juicer would not juice cabbage, ginger or celery without problems. Just tried out this Breville Compact Juicer and it not only handled slices of cabbage, plus beets, apples, celery stalks and carrots, but it was incredibly fast. Did a really nice job. Very quick and easy cleaning under the tap. Easy to put together. Yes, its fairly loud as all centrifugal juicers are, but foam earplugs work great if the noise is irritating. I am very pleased with this product and would recommend it without hesitation.Update: Just bought a second Breville Compact Juicer. Love these juicers. Also love that they fit under the cabinets above the counter. Just an all around great juicer!

Great but not adapted for european electicity

F.S. · November 2, 2024

I love this machine. I had it when I lived in North America. Unfortunately, Breville has not adapted it to our european electricity. Also, it costs about 80 US dollars in America. In Europe, it should not cost more than about 80 euros... If ever it is offered adapted to our electricity and at a reasonable price, I would definitely recommend it!

Producto de calidad

Excelente, lo he comprado dos veces

I had this exact same one before for 10 years and it was time for a new one

S. · November 19, 2023

Small - simple to clean. Fantastic! Thank you for this! The other one that I replaced this with still worked and would have worked for a long time yet I can imagine - no issues at all, the only reason why I wanted a new one was because it was stained and looked unsightly in my kitchen but please keep in mind... we are talking YEARS of stain and daily use! EVERY DAY! lol - totally got my money out of it and was so happy to buy the same one again! Amazing product. Best juicer EVER!
