Breville Juice Fountain Plus JE98XL, Silver

This product delivers exceptional value and performance. The wide top opening is a standout feature—it easily accommodates a generous amount of fruit, making prep fast and effortless. The build quality is impressive as well; it feels durable, sturdy, and designed for long-term use. Cleaning and reassembly are straightforward, which is something I always look for in kitchen tools. After multiple uses, it still looks and functions like new. I originally purchased this based on another customer’s recommendation, and I can confidently say that advice was spot on. The combination of quality, usability, and price makes this an excellent buy. I’m genuinely impressed and would recommend it without hesitation.

I'm very happy with this juicer. It's powerful, fast, and very easy to use. It extracts juice efficiently, leaving the pulp almost dry, which shows its excellent performance. It's also easy to clean and has a sturdy, high-quality design. It has definitely been a great purchase, and I highly recommend it.

I am jucing for over 10 yrs, I used Jack Lalanne juicer before, but unfortunately the part that broke is not available any longer, so I decided to give Breville Juice Fountain a try and I am very happy I did, easy to assemble, easy to use, easy to clean. I use celery, parsley, kale, spinach, beet, cabbage, ginger, carrots, green apples etc. - this juicer handles all of them. :)

Some friends got a juicer and raved about it...so I jumped on the bandwagon. Because I can't do anything simply or quickly, I spent hours researching juicers and types and brands before deciding on this one. Here's why I settled on this one, in case this helps others getting started on juice craze: - Brand. Breville is a reputable brand. Not the greatest warranty, but a quality product according to my friends who've had theirs for YEARS. - Price. I wasn't sure I was REALLY going to commit to the juicing lifestyle so didn't want to spend a lot of money on a fancy machine that just might end up taking counter space, then pantry space, etc. - Size. See counter space comment. Friends who have bought bigger juicers complain about the size. They wish they had a "smaller" one like mine. Plus I only have 2 mouths who drink in my house... me and my teenage son. - Quality. If you're going centrifugal, then this juicer ranks at the top (not the very top, but for size and type, it's good). - Ease of use. Minimal cutting of veges required, big chunks will fit down the chute, it's quick, convenient, min hassle. Now for the meat of the review...my experience with this juicer. First, I LOVE LOVE LOVE juicing. My son loves it, which makes me a do a happy dance every time he drinks his veges with nothing more than an APPLE to sweeten them. He LOVES...he BEGS me!...to make juice. And I'm juicing carrots, cauliflower, chard, kale, sweet potato, beets, celery, cukes...with apple, lemon & ginger as spice & sweeteners. I usually throw in some other fruits...mango, blueberries, kiwis, pears, starfruit, and my favorite: persimmons! (For a sugar rush, juice mango, pineapple, & kiwi then mix with a banana in blender...makes soda seem like seltzer!) Second, it's easy to assemble and clean. (NOTE: I broke a piece of plastic off when first putting it together - just be careful and don't force any parts. I was able to superglue it back one but thank goodness it wasn't a critical piece.) Cleaning takes about 5 minutes, thanks to scrubbing the filter free of debris. Third, centrifugal is the way to go for those who aren't huge vege or fruit fans and just want something relatively easy to substitute for raw produce. Now all that being said....while I think this juicer is great and am very glad I got it as my introduction to juicing, I am now saving for a Vitamix. Having done more research on the concept of juicing and the importance of fresh raw foods, and seeing how much extraneous food/fiber/pulp is wasted (although I compost it), I'm realizing how much "good stuff" is being tossed. Sure, I can't stand veges it so they'd just go bad in my fridge if I bought them to eat/cook, so the centrifugal juicer has brought me one step closer to a healthier lifestyle, but surely the happy medium is nearer to pulp and not such much liquid...? For example, while the Breville will juice kale, chard & spinach (just mash it down with something hard like an apple or sweet potato), it shreds and discards more than it juices. And I want something now that can handle REALLY hard substances like coconut and almonds... Anyway, based on what this juicer is and does, it's awesome - again, thrilled I got it. And like everyone says, if you're new to juicing and not sure you'll stick with it and want minimum hassle/ease of use, GET THIS ONE! But if you're serious about a healthier lifestyle and can afford the investment, go with either a high quality masticating juicer or a Vitamix so you can get more output from your healthy input. :)

So I had a weight problem and was super serious this year about getting rid of the extra pounds. I saw the documentary fat, sick, and nearly dead, and was intrigued. I have the will power to resist food for a certain length of time so I figured I try juicing. I decided I am going to go cold turkey and just jump right in. First thing first, I needed a juicer. I wanted to not spend a ton, but wanted something that would be good and last me. After a lot of research I narrowed it down to two juicers. This one and another juicer by the same brand, but for $100. After finding out this was the juicer in the documentary I made the jump. I been juicing for almost 4 weeks now, with one cheat day a week. This juicer has been awesome in my adventure to change around my lifestyle. It will juice anything I throw at it, and very well too. I have tried just about every juicing recipe you can think off and this has done it like a champ. I use this twice a week cause I juice a few pitchers of juice and they last me 3 days on average. That saves me a lot of time during the week, and the juice still tastes good even after a few days. Also the only thing I consider a chore on this thing is the cleaning part, but even that only takes me about 5 minutes, its dissembles into 3 parts and is pretty easy to clean. The grater/juicing blade with the cleaning brush they give you cleans pretty well. Overall this is a great juicer, I don't think for the money it can be beat. I am just finishing week 3, and I already lost 25 pounds. I started working out at the end of week 2, where I am working out 3 times a week where I walk/run/elliptical for about 5 miles. I am a younger person so my body can take it. I am starting to eat healthy too, I actually am starting to enjoy the taste of veggies and greens a lot more then I did before that. Even on my cheat days I am starting to eat a lot healthier then I was in the past. So if your on the fence about getting this juicer, don't be just get it and you wont regret it. Also it helps when family members start drinking a juice or two a day cause it gets the whole family involved. I make fruit based, veggie/fruit, and only veggie juices. That gives everyone in the family options.

Got it after watching the documentaries. Works really well. Handles a good amount of produce on each juicing. Still go slow when possible as you push down and you should have no problem. Fairly easy clean up. Solid quality. Takes a few times to get it down but then it is really easy to use.

Excellent experience. Amazing product. Everything as described. Loving it. Update 2016: Still going strong after almost 2 years of very frequent use. This product is amazing it juices everything that it is supposed to!! My wife and I have tried numerous combinations of fruits and vegetables and have loved them all. It gets your creative juices flowing. :) It is a great means of obtaining (natural) energy!! (great for people on a diet). No cracks or fading, the components still look brand new. It is easy to clean by hand (brush is provided); takes less than 5 minutes. It is very easy to assemble and dissemble. The suction cups at the bottom provide a good strong grip to the surface and makes it sturdy and keeps the juicer from wiggling during juicing. The input (mouth) of the juicer is quite wide and makes it easier to juice large fruits/vegetables without cutting them into very small pieces. I insert a compostable bag (which the juicer easily accommodates - no spills or leakage) in the pulp dispensing bucket before juicing which makes it easier to throw away the pulp. It also keeps the bucket clean. Once you start juicing all the big brand name juices don't taste as good. This is a great way of getting kids to drink healthy and to get off all the added sugar drinks/juices. Stay thirsty my friends! Definitely recommend this product.

probé a penas el extractor y realmente me gustó, exprime muy bien las frutas. También me gusta que tiene un contenedor externo a donde se va lo restante de la fruta, puedes usarlo para todo tipo de fruta pero no para aquellos como las hojitas del apio. eso no se licuar, hay que usar licuadora para ellas. la parte en donde se van agregando las frutas es muy amplio, eso también es bueno porque puedes meter no sólo zanahorias, sino manzanas y frutas más grandes. es fácil de lavar aunque sí trae muchas piezas. en general lo recomiendo mucho.

Es un extractor con gran potencia, fácil y sencillo de usar. El lavado de sus piezas es muy rápido. Extrae hasta la última gota de frutas y verduras. Sin duda fue una excelente compra. Recomiendo ampliamente esta marca, buen precio por un gran producto.

Great juicer. Divides pulp and juice. Not crazy easy to clean, but they never really are. Doesn't handle ginger well. Use a small blender and a sieve for that instead. A bit awkward to load since it wants to be running before being loaded, but manageable with practice. All in all, definitely worth the money.

I have only been using this for just over a month and I am not certain yet if I am really enjoying the machine or if I just missed having a juicer so much that having a new one feels like the greatest gift I have given myself. First, it is a good machine: my old machine was much more industrial and was very heavy and sturdy while this machine is extremely lightweight and far easier to clean. In fairness to my old machine, it was purchased so long ago and things have change. The lightweight aspect of the Breville is one of the reasons I hesitated to purchase it, when you are used to a more industrial machine there might be a slight bias against anything else for fear that there wouldn’t be enough power to consistently process things like beets everyday but, thus far, the Breville has powered through near daily use for two people without a hiccup. I was also hesitant because of my fears that this type of machine would overheat the nutrients rendering them nonexistent but I did my due diligence and did some research and the Jet factor seems to be minimal for the most part. The juice produced has also never been noticeable warmed that the temperature of the fruit at introduction. And, the Breville is shockingly quick to clean. Won’t lie, I still complain about cleaning it but it does not take long and the included a brush does speed the cleaning of the blades (and keeps you from doing something stupid like thoughtlessly using a cloth and slicing your fingers). Some people have complained it is loud but the higher power setting is not any louder than any other juicer I have had to use in the last couple of decades. It’s actually quieter than many but if you are not used to just how loud a juicer can be or did not appreciate how loud they actually are until you had one in your much-quieter-than-a-juice-bar home, I understand that the sound might be surprising. It is also the reason I do not make juice for my breakfast, I am often up at 4 am for work and I will not run the juicer after 9:30/10pm. At any rate, so happy to finally have the Breville in my home and, hopefully, I will have it for years to come.
