Breville BJE510XL Juice Fountain Multi-Speed 900-Watt Juicer - Review

Another fantastic juicer from the Breville Group. While a slightly older model the increased power and further options to play with combined with the smart chip auto-asjuster make this a modest step up from the Breville Fountain Plus. Having stood the test of time this Juicer has proved to be a firm favourite for those who know exactly what they want and how to make it. At a more than reasonable price, often found discounted below the aforemetioned Juicer Plus model (no doubt due to its release date) it is no surprise it holds the Best Seller badge on Amazon.

The Pros

• 900-watt Motor – This juicer comes with a heavy-duty 900-watt motor which revs up from speeds anywhere between 6,500 RPM to 12,000 RPM.

• 5-speed Selector tailored for different food groups– This is the  stellar feature of this juicer.  its multi-speed selector function which, coupled with its LCD juicing speed guarantees maximum juice extraction every time. Simply select the speed which is best suited for the produce you are juicing, and the juicer will extract the most goodness possible.

• Extra-wide Feed Chute – Measuring a generous width of 3 inches, the large feed chute accommodates large chunks of fruits and vegetables so that prepping your produce is easy.

• Patented Nutri-Disc System – The cutting blades are reinforced with titanium which helps keep the blades sharp much longer. The sharp blades cut the pulp against a stainless steel mesh filter basket for efficient juice extraction.

• Noise and Vibration Control – The patented Direct Central Feed System centers the chute directly over the Nutri Disc to minimize noise and vibration.

• Heavy-grade Body – High-grade stainless steel, premium die-cast alloy and industrial-grade polymers make up the architecture of this solid juicer- its built to last.

• BPA-free — All surfaces that come into contact with the produce are guaranteed BPA-free for your family’s safety.

• Big Juice Jug and Pulp Container – The hefty juice jug comes with a froth separator while the large pulp container sports an integrated handle for your convenience.

• Overload Protection – This juicer has a built-in overload protection system which shuts the juicer down automatically in case of overloading.

• Safety Locking Arm – This added safety feature prevents the juicer from working when the cover is not securely locked in place.

• Top Shelf Dishwasher-safe – All of the parts of this juicer — except for the Nutri Disc and mesh filter basket — can be conveniently washed on the top shelf of your dishwasher.

• Smart Cord storage – Don’t like the look of the electrics hanging around? no problem, it can be hidden from view by wrapping it around the base and clipping it out of sight.

The Cons

• Moderate Noise – While every effort has been made to ensure some noise cancellation and muffling exists, the noise associated with Centrifugal Juicers is always a drawback.
• Some Frothing - Again, unavoidably with centrifugal juicers, the immediate oxidisation due to the airflow caused by moving parts does lead to moderate frothing in some cases.
• Juicing of Leafy Greens is tricky - Another known feature of centrifugal juicers. While this juicer does command a greater efficiency over some of the harder fruits and vegetables, leafy greens remain the kryptonite of this type of juicer.
  

Verdict

It's not often a piece of machinery comes along and stands as long as this one has. Sure there have been some increases in capability and some design aspects internally, both in terms of composition and raw materials may be slightly different for some of the newer models, but the jury is out on this longstanding customer favourite, especially with the built-in smart chip function. If you can catch this Juicer on offer it would be hard not to justify snatching it up. With all the fantastic feedback it has received over the years and its continued stock movement this is certainly setting the standard for Juicers old and new.
