My unbiased review of the Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite, a versatile juicer that makes the entire process of juicing and cleaning a breeze.

Some of you will know that I’m a bit of a blender nerd and a juice head. As a treat, I bought myself a Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite last year, and now it’s time to give you the goods on this juicer.

For some, juicing may seem like a lot of effort. It’s easy to buy pre-made juices outside, so why bother making your own? All that chopping and cleaning up at the end, not to mention the pulp that goes everywhere.

Read on and discover how convenient this Breville juicer is and how it will convert you from drinking store-bought to freshly squeezed juice at home.

You can buy the Breville 800JEXL on Amazon.

The 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite is a centrifugal juicer with 13,000 RPM speed at its peak. I know masticating juicers are all the rage right now, but I will go into more detail later about how this juicer is equal, if not better at squeezing out as much juice as possible.

This Breville juicer is a robust machine with simple but effective controls for regular household use. It offers 2-speed settings, a high setting that runs at 13,000 RPM and a low at 6,500 RPM. You can select the best setting depending on how hard the fruit or vegetable is to cut and juice.

The cutting blade is Titanium and is surrounded by a stainless steel mesh filter. This design cuts and juices very efficiently. The chute for feeding the fruits and vegetables is integrated into the juicer cover and is conveniently wide at 3 inches. This can save a bit of cutting work.

The Breville 800JEXL comes packaged with a 35.2 oz juice jug and a 3.2 quart pulp container. These containers, the juicer cover, the stainless steel filter bowl, and the puree disc are safe to go into your dishwasher.

In the box, you will find these containers together with the juicer motor base, the juicer cover with a food chute, the micro-mesh filter, and a food pusher.

There are so many good things to say about this juicer, but I’ve extracted (pun intended) my top 3 below.

1. It’s Got the Juice

If you are deciding between this and a slow masticating juicer, this is the most important information you need to retain from this article.

A masticating juicer, like the name suggests, “chews” the fruit slowly. The aim of this design versus a conventional juicer is to squeeze as much juice as possible out of the fruit, so there is much less wastage. You also end up with more pulp in the juice, which gives you a bit more protein and fiber.

Centrifugal juicers use a cutting blade to chop up the fruits and vegetables before spinning at high speed. The centrifugal force then separates the juice from the pulp.

With the Breville Juice Fountain Elite, you get the best of both worlds. It’s highly efficient in extracting the juice from your fruits and vegetables but without the long and slow wait.

Two features that make all the difference with this concept. The first is the design of the titanium blade and the superfine mesh filter, which captures the pulp and the juice trapped within it.

The second feature is the dual-speed setting. This juicer can reach up to 13,000 RPM, which is great for harder foods like apples and carrots. For softer fruits and vegetables, like oranges and watermelon, use the slower setting at 6,500 RPM.

Breville claims that the 800JEXL can extract up to 30 percent more juice. In my experience, without doing a scientific experiment, I can say that this may be pretty close to the truth. The pulp comes out dry, meaning most of the juice has been separated.

You are getting your money’s worth out of the juicer and all the fruits and vegetables you bought without all the wastage.

2. Very Easy to Clean

The most annoying part of juicing is the clean-up afterward. Unlike blending, where everything gets chopped up into tiny pieces, juicing always gives you heaps of leftover pulp to get rid of.

As you might know, it can get messy quickly, which is why the Breville 800JEXL is such a well-designed juicer.

The unit comes apart easily, and you don’t end up accidentally losing bits and pieces of pulp in between the different parts.

Most parts are dishwasher safe, but if you’re like me and prefer to hand wash, the whole process is a breeze. Breville even gives you a little brush to help scrub any tricky areas. I would estimate it takes me roughly 5 minutes or less to complete my clean-up process.

3. No Fruit Too Big or Too Small

I mentioned that chopping the fruit and vegetables to fit them in the juicer is another one of my juicing pet hates.

But the Breville 800JEXL is a beast; it will happily accept whole or extra-large pieces of fruit and vegetables without issue. This includes solid fruits such as whole apples, cucumbers, and pears.

The extra-wide chute lets you stuff all this in from the top, and Breville provides a nice big pusher to help you feed this through to the bottom if you need to.

Once the fruit is inside the juicer, the 2-speed system and innovative blade and filter design make short work of it. The big 35.2 oz juice container just shows how much you can make in one session.

It’s also worth noting that many users have claimed that this juicer has a long life span. While I haven’t had the Breville 800JEXL for that long, I can say this machine feels incredibly robust.

Check Price

I adore this Breville 800JEXL juicer, and even though I sometimes sneak in a takeaway juice from my local cafe, I believe this is one of my favorite purchases. However, I realize the investment may not be for everyone, so let me summarize why it works for me.

I use this juicer regularly, so it’s far more economical for me to produce my own fresh juice at home. The other reason is that the Breville 800JEXL makes chopping, juicing, and cleaning up so easy that, as a whole, juicing has become an enjoyable chore. Lastly, this machine produces the best quality juice with a high yield.

The only slight downside to having such a versatile machine at home is that it can get a bit noisy at high speed. But that’s a small price to pay for what you get.
