by Virtual Exhibit on May 9, 2012

The Breville 800JEXL Juicer is touted as being a superbly crafted, ultra-quiet, powerful and efficient juicer, but is it?  There are so many options to choose from today when purchasing a juicer.  Let’s take a look at some of the features of this juicer as well as user reviews before we come to a conclusion.

Why a Juicer?

The best place to start is to see whether a juicer is a good appliance for you.  Many people buy them because fresh juice gives a profound boost to your health. Whereas you may not be able to eat five carrots in a row, you can quickly obtain the same nutrients from a glass of fresh carrot juice.  Juicing the fruit or vegetable breaks it down and makes it easily digestible, as well as making all of the vitamins and minerals readily available for your body to assimilate.

Some people are concerned that only consuming juice will deprive the body of necessary fiber that comes from eating produce in its natural form.  That is true to some extent, which is why a juicer should be used in addition to eating fruits and vegetables during the day.  Even so, fresh juice is one of the best things you can do for your health.

There are many juicers on the market, but keep in mind that not all juicers are the same.  The Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor has received very high reviews, which is why we’ve chosen to review it.

Product Overview

The Breville 800JEXL Juicer is a very powerful juicer that runs on a 1000 watt motor with a high 13,000 RPM and extracts up to 30% more juice than many traditional juicers. The 2-speed control provides both faster and slower juicing, depending on your need.

One thing to be noted about this appliance is its speed.  Due to its power and efficiency, it extracts juice from fruits and vegetables very quickly.  The Breville 800JEXL Juicer can give you a 250 ml glass of juice in less than 5 seconds. It has a patented extra-large 3 inch-wide feed-tube to maximize its loading efficiency and save time.
