Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juice Extractor - Review

12/29/2016

Comments

 
Get into the world of juicing with this no-nonsense dual-speed juice fountain by Breville. Coming in with a price-tag between the smaller Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain 700-Watt Juice Extractor and their deluxe, top-of-the range flagship juicer, aptly named the Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor this makes this the ideal choice for first-time juicers in terms of functionality without breaking the bank.

The Breville Juice Fountain Plus runs on a capable 850 watts - enough power to extract 8 ounces of juice in only 5 seconds - and has two speeds, 12,000RPM or 6,500RPM, for hard and soft fruits and vegetables.

Some great features of the Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juice Extractor

  • Two-speed electronic control for custom juicing: a low speed (6,500 rpm) for leafy vegetables and soft fruit and a high speed (12,000 rpm) for denser fruits and harder vegetable.
  • Extra-wide 3” feed tube is large enough for many whole fruits and vegetables.
  • Select either Low or High speed for custom juicing.
  • Special spout separates froth from juice when pouring.
  • Micromesh filter separates pulp into a removable container—no paper filters needed.
  • Safety arm prevents juicer from working if cover is not in place.
  • Removable parts are dishwasher safe.

What's Good About This Juicer?

  • Great Price
  • Value for money
  • Capable 850-Watt Centrifugal Juicer is adequate for good juicing
  • Two speed setting gives decent flexibility between hard and soft fruits and vegetables
  • Large pulp and juice catcher means you wont have to stop half way through to empty
  • Easy to assemble and clean
  • Wide 3" Fruit Chute can handle most things going in without needing to slice down
  • Automatic Shutdown in the event of overheating / overloading
  • Being a centrifugal juicer the construction is very strong to withstand the vibrations

What's Bad About This Juicer?

  • The fast spinning cutting disc does cause fast oxidation and moderate frothing
  • Overall noise is quite high
  • Has been known to struggle with leafy greens
  • Juices will not last for long periods of time for those who like to make batches
  • Only a 1 year warranty

Our Overall Recommendation

This Breville Juice Fountain Plus is a good choice for newbies in juicing who are still feeling their way around juicers and are afraid to invest in high-end masticating juicers. The simple 2-speed setting and the juicing-only capabilities is enough to satisfy those who simply want a healthful juice everyday but not for those looking for the all-round juicer and pulp functionality such as cakes, pastas, lasagnes etc. It is the juicer of choice for busy people who don’t have the luxury of time and need to have their morning juice quick.

This juicer will not satisfy those who insist on froth-free juice and exist on a diet mostly consisting of leafy greens. Due to the oxidising nature of this centrifugal machine you can’t expect to have juice that will last for as long as 3 days or more without some consistency issues.

Overall, this juicer rates highly when you consider the balance of many factors — speed, efficiency, simplicity, durability and price. It is excellent for juicing hard and soft vegetables and at best satisfactory for extracting the juice of leafy greens. Speed and power are its key features.

Easy to operate and clean with little-to-no setup and preparation required for your morning juice, the Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juice Extractor is the perfect choice if you're just getting into juicing. A great combination of price and functionality that will give serve well for your juicing needs!
