3.0 out of 5 stars There is a better juicer for the money, October 9, 2006

By	D. Bowman (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I was in the market for a juicer, I had 2 in the price range I was thinking about. They were the Breville Compact Juice Fountain and Jack LaLanne's Power Juicer. A friend had let me borrow the Power Juicer, and I really liked it. As I was reading reviews and doing research, I concluded that the Breville was a better choice. So, I went out and bought the Breville.

I made the wrong choice! When I juiced apples, it left chunks of apples un-juiced that were about the size of a quarter. It also sent a good bit of the peal into the pulp area. I also found the juice to be very "gritty" and full of pulp. I was juicing a days worth of juice for my wife and me (about 32 lbs of apples), so I had to stop the machine and clean out the pulp 3 times.

I have since returned the Breville juicer and bought the Jack LaLanne Power Juicer. It works much better. I can juice 32 lbs of apples and never change the pulp catcher (I put a bag in it, so I don't even have to clean that part of the machine. The juice is much cleaner with less pulp. The Breville has a faster RPM motor, but the Power Juicer is every bit as powerful. It juices whole apples easily. You can also get about 4 decent sized carrots in there with no trouble.

All in all, I recommend the Power Juicer over the Breville. If you like a lot of pulp, then you might like the Breville. It is a good juicer for smaller quantities of juice. The Breville is a better looking juicer as far as its styling and color goes, but for me the Power Juicer wins hands down.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use/clean; now I can be healthy!, January 8, 2007

By	Jessamine (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

I have not used any other juicer so I don't know how this compares to others, but I have read a lot of reviews where most complaints about juicers were about wet pulp and hard to clean up.

This thing is a complete BREEZE to clean up and actually goes in the dishwasher if you want to. I rent an older home and don't have a dishwasher so I handwash and even that is quick. I can rinse off all pieces in less than 3 minutes if that.

The pulp to me feels really dry, sort of the texture of PlayDough. I don't see how much more juice could come out of it.

Since this is so easy to put together, use, and clean up I am juicing every night. I am looking forward to starting a compost pile for my garden now that I am compiling a good bit of colorful pulp to add to the compost heap.

I never thought I would drink a beet but I've made some great juices with beets, apples, oranges, and a little piece of ginger. It makes me feel really good to know that I'm getting my daily alottment of veggies/fruits in a tasty drink instead of eating cups and cups of veggies that I've had to prepare, cook, clean pots/pans, etc.

Since it's "compact" it doesn't take up much counter space. About the size of a coffee maker. Noise isn't too bad either.

My only complaint is sometimes smaller things slip over the chopping bowl (looks like metal coffee filter) such as grapes, small pieces of ginger, and some smaller pieces of fruit once it has been whittled down. It's just a small bit of waste tho, about the size of a half dollar in the case of a beet, that slips over into the pulp bin without getting juiced. With the ginger, I just open it up (after the blade stops spinning of course) and retrieve the piece and try it again.

For $99, it's hard to find a 700 hp model. Most are 400 hp in this price range.

So - I'm very happy with my purchase.

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad for the $$, January 31, 2008

By	foot attack (dallas, tx) - See all my reviews

It's not a bad product for the money for beginners to try out juicing, but cleaning it (really cleaning it correctly and completely) is not easy, especially when juicing greens. The filter rim always has a LOT of green residue even after scrubbing it, and I have to use paper towels and the edge of a spoon to totally scrape it out. This isn't a problem with just fruit juice, though.

It leaves a lot of moist pulp, so I feel like I'm wasting a lot of the fruit/veggie, but this was my first juicer, so it was worth trying. Now that I know a little more about it, I wish I had invested a bit more and gotten a Champion or Green Star (rather than any centrifugal style juicer) to begin with, since I'm more interested in juicing greens now than anything. For just fruit juices, this is great. We made some delicious grapefruit juice and orange juice. I would never buy juice in a bottle/carton again, it tastes so much better (and, of course, is so much more nutrient-rich) freshly juiced.

For someone who's not really sure that they're going to be totally into juicing every day, this is probably the best one of the centrifugal ones to try out. Otherwise, if budget allows, the slightly more expensive grinding type like Champion is superior and also has an excellent warranty, which the Breville does not.
