What's great about it: Well built
What's not so great: not great with leafy greens; lots of work
This is easily a four or even five star purchase.
After doing a great deal of research, I chose the Breville brand. Then I chose this model because of the price at Best Buy ($150).
I've had it for over a month, so I certainly can't speak to how well this machine holds up over time. Perhaps i'll update this review in 6-12 months.
All my research cautioned about the amount of clean up work necessary, but none prepared me for the reality of it. It is so much work that I find myself not juicing anywhere near as much as I'd like. (This is not a fault of the product however, and is probably the same for all juicers).
My one complaint about the product (that resulted in a four star rating) is that it doesn't really extract juice well at all from leafy greens. My research lead me to understand that this category of vegetable is a tough one, and that only specialized devices can really do justice. Nevertheless, I was lead to expect some juice extraction. Alas, a head Black Kale is reduced to a mere drop or two.
The manual is clear and helpful, though I found the recipe section a bit sparse.
Still, I love the juice I make with this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy clean up, easy to use, extracts all the juice!
What's not so great: Nothing
My husband and I need to lose weight and eat healthier so we decided to try out juicing after our best friends have lost weight by either juicing exclusively or just once a day for breakfast. We tried out a fruit juice that they made us one night months ago and it was delicious.
This machine is amazing, the plup is almost dry after all the juice is extracted, it is quick and fairly quiet. I dont have to press so hard on the fruit for the blades to catch and juice, for example, an apple or pinapple.
The manual that is provided tells you what speed you should juice at and if you should peel before putting it in the tube. Apples you dont, cucumbers and oranges you do.
I read a lot of reviews of other juicers that are almost as expensive and they dont do nearly as good of a job as this, after going to 4 stores I finally found it and it was so worth it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: Haven't had any problems with it yet.
Juicing is the best way to add fruits and vegetables in your diet. This machine is a wonder. I purchased it at the end of June beginning of July and have lost 10 lbs. just by adding more juice to my diet. I recommend watching "Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead" by Joe Cross (on Netflix). He uses the same juicer and he uses it in his car to show people that juicing should be a way of life and that it is pretty easy to use and it's a quality product. Two thumbs up!

What's great about it: gets out the most juice
What's not so great: a lot of pieces
Got this juicer about a month ago. LOVE IT! Although there are many pieces to this machine, it's worth it. Actually, being able to take it all apart it makes it really easy to clean. It is kind of bulky, but I assure you, it does an amazing job getting all the juice out of a fruit or vegetable. It does not however, do a good job juice things like wheatgrass and parsley, but usually you need a different kind of juicer for grasses and herbs. All in all, I'd say it's worth the price. I'm very happy with this buy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Juices anything-quietly and quickly. Quality, durable parts. Just plain looks good.
What's not so great: A bit expensive, but worth it. Easy to clean, but a lot to clean and disassemble just for a glass of juice.
If you have the time and patience to clean up after just one glass of juice, this to you will be the best thing invented. There are 4 things that you have to disassemble and clean after using this, even if its just one glass of juice. It is amazing however, in that you literally can put an entire small apple and get juice from it within 5 seconds. I've heard of other juicers having mixed reviews because of problems with the motor or it just not juicing properly. I have had this for almost a year and now i only want to buy Breville appliances.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 12 for Breville Juice Fountain Plus Electric Juicer - Silver
Wonderful tool, minus the hyperbole
Customer Rating
5.0
OK I got this juicer just as soon as it came out. I read all the reviews of all the juicers I could find, and it was clear that Breville was the best way to go. And the raves were all about the previous model which had less power and only one speed. I love the juicer but I guess I was expecting a divine product by the review I read. I'll just say it is good quality without drooling all over about it...
PRO'S:
~Great Power
~easy to clean, (do it sooner rather than let stuff dry on)
~Great Power
~easy to clean, (do it sooner rather than let stuff dry on)
~smartly designed electrical plug
~motor cannot run if parts are not locked together (for safety reasons)
~product has few angles and many curves, which makes cleaning easier since pulp/juice can be hard to reach where there are corners
~two speeds: fast for power, slow for soft items
~it really can make 8oz juice in 5 seconds!
~huge food chute can accommodate an entire apple... you save time not needing to cut many things pre-juicing.

CON'S:
~tomatoes - even on slow setting, the juicer doesn't efficiently grab all the juice of a tomato. perhaps do tomatoes first, then recycle the 'pulp' back through juicer to get more juice
~even though the plastic is durable and dark colored (to distract against discoloration) carrots do tend to stain it immediately.

The con's are really quite trivial but I thought I should mention them since I was expecting pure perfection based on the reviews I read. I love the product and I would not swap it for anything. Besides, it is extremely affordable for what you get out of it!
