#2 Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain

Breville BJE200xl

If price is a big problem, then the Breville BJE200XL comes next as #2 as a great value at a low cost.

It wont be near as good as the juice fountain elite, but if you need something over nothing, it’s a good way to go for the tight budget.

Reviews Count:

  • More than 840 Customer Reviews

Average Customer Rating:

  • 4.5 Stars

Price:

  • $89-99

Pros:

  • Still very powerful at 700 Watts
  • Great value for the price if you’re low on funds
  • Not as much capacity as the Breville Elite with only 8 ounce capacity
  • Dishwasher safe parts

Cons:

  • Not as much capacity as the Elite with only 8 ounce capacity
  • Not as powerful as the Juice Fountain Elite. To make your job easy, you want a very powerful juicer. It’s a great juicer, but you get more with the 800jexl.

#3 Breville BJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor

Reviews Count:

  • More than 440 Customer Reviews

Average Customer Rating:

  • 4.5 Stars

Price:

  • $176-199

Pros:

  • Pretty powerful at 900 Watts
  • Great value if you want something more than #2 but not as much as #1
  • Dishwasher safe parts

Cons:

  • Not as many reviews as choices #1 and #2 which means not as many people have purchased it. It’s a step between the #1 and #2, so many people if they’re going to get one in the price range of the BJE510XL, they opt for the Juice Fountain Elite (#1).
  • Not as powerful and lower RPMs

#4 Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor

Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Stainless-Steel Motorized Citrus Press

If you want the higher-end version of a citrus press, this would be it. Just take a look at the number of reviews. If I were to go for a model like this, I’d probably seriously consider the juice fountain, but if a citrus press is all you want, go for it.

So what is our pick for the best juicer?

Our pick is the number one juicer out there: the Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor it’s the juicer that after a lot of research, we purchased for our home.

We had used an older juicer previously, and the Breville is the ultimate upgrade.

The 800jexl is faster, more efficient and much more powerful.

We like that it’s big enough and fast enough that many fruits and veggies can go in the hopper without having to be chopped up into pieces.

We’ve been able to fit whole apples in there and it juices them in seconds.

We wanted a juicer that would work fast, otherwise, we thought we might not use it as often if it took a long time to juice, plus the time to cut up the veggies (this is what we ran into in the old less-fancy juicer we had).

It’s a beautiful addition to the kitchen, and guests compliment us on it when they see it. It’s truly a work of art.

We’ve been happy with it and try to do a juice every day. But we love using the Breville for juicing.
