What's great about it: quick, easy to set up and use, quiter than my more expensive juicer
What's not so great: It spews out little juice chunks through the top sometimes, can get on upper cabinetry or onto your clothes.
My main juicer is an Omega Megamouth and it died when I was in the middle of a juice fast. I ran out and picked up this Breville as an emergency back-up juicer. I have been please with how easy and fast it is to set up and use, and I'm satisfied with the juices it makes. My only complaint is that sometimes when you open the chute before putting fruits/veggies down, little pieces of food "spew" up and out of the chute and onto my upper cabinetry. I tend to avoid wearing my work clothing around this juicer, because it can spit out messy pieces. Still, it definetly gets the job done and is a nice price, and I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars. (I've had this model about 6 weeks now and I have juiced almost daily).
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Super powerful
What's not so great: Wish the pulp capacity was larger
This is a great juicer, almost too powerful. I've had to learn to turn it off between putting some foods in to keep things from flying out the top.
Very easy to clean. If you're making a lot of juice, my only complaint is that you need to take the pulp out before you can continue. Otherwise, no complaints!

What's great about it: How fast it is to process the juice
What's not so great: Cleaning part of it
I love my juicer, it's amazing how fast it works. The only bad thing about this product is having to take it apart and cleaning the blades, however the brush that comes with it makes it a lot easier.

What's great about it: Nicely built, does the job.
What's not so great: A tad on the pricey side.
We picked this up because my son had a gift card he won and had used this model at a friends house. The thing does what its supposed to and appears to do it well. After seeing the amount of juice you get out of some fruits, its not hard to understand why fresh juices can be so expensive. You put in a bunch of fruit and the amount of juice you get or lack thereof can be surprising. But I would think this is the same for all juicers. This one breaks down easily for quick and easy cleanup. Includes a brush with a handle that is just right for cleaning out the leftover fruit, a nice touch. Only put Good for Durability because frankly haven't had it long enough to comment really on that. Although this unit does appear to be built pretty well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: It's still working.
What's not so great: It's L O U D !!!
The first juicer we bought was a Juiceman (Target). Loud as a jet engine, but seemed to juice ok, but the citrus attachment died in a few days. So we returned it and bought a Jack La Lanne (Best Buy). It's quiet hum, while it's spinning, was so refreshing! Ah... so nice to use, but... the motor died a few days later. So, we bought this Breville. It's not quite as loud as the Juiceman, but... IT'S STILL WORKING!
Jet Engine... er, Juiceman Juicer... DEAD citrus attachment. Return.
Jack La Lanne... whisper quiet. DEAD motor. Return.
Breville... "Jet Engine Jr."... STILL working.
If noise level is a premium requirement, get a Jack LaLanne and hope it's motor doesn't die on you. If you want a juicer that's a little quieter (maybe 5-10% max.) than a Juiceman and (at least in our use) is still running, get a Breville.
But, personally... I'd rather have the Jack LaLanne. It was a pleasure to use, while it worked... shame it died.

What's great about it: Doesn't bog down with tougher produe.
What's not so great: Leaks a little bit every time I use this product.
I only have one complaint. The juicer does leak a little bit out of the side. Only a few drops, but when juicing certain produce it can leave a stain on the countertops. Other than that one minor flaw this product works well and doesn't struggle to produce healthy, quality juice.

It works great, its smaller and looks expensive. As far as juicing it works well...the only thing is that it just laughs at wheatgrass and leafy greens. But overall it works great.

What's great about it: Convenient, Easy to use, Easy to set up, Efficient, Easy to clean
What's not so great: Occasionally will miss a chunk of fruit.
My mom had a juicer when I was little, and while I loved fresh juices, I still to this day remember the nightmare of cleanup. It would come apart in so many different pieces and scrubbing the bits of pulp from the basket was horrific. With my Breville, cleanup doesn't take me 5 minutes. It comes apart very easily.
The pulp is generally pretty dry. I've used another juicer where squeezing the pulp afterwards would result in a decent amount of juice coming out. I can't get any more juice out of this pulp. The only problem (and why I gave it a 4 instead of 5 star review) is that occasionally it will spit an unjuiced chunk of fruit or veggie into the pulp receptacle.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Juices fast, and you can drop in a whole apple at once
What's not so great: Kind of loud, juice is a little thick
My wife wanted to start juicing fruits and vegetables more, so at first we tried this Breville Juicer because I could buy it locally and have it that day. It juiced quickly, had a wide input spout that could fit a whole apple, and only had a few large pieces that had to be cleaned. Since it's a centrifugal juicer, it gets kind of loud when it's running. It works great with soft fruits like kiwis, but hard produce like carrots always tend to get thrown past the strainer at the last inch, and berries and leafy things like spinach has to be sandwiched between other produce if there's any hope. The end result with the juice that it made was good, though slightly thick and a little gritty/pulpy.
We decided to try something completely different and give the Omega 8003 juicer a try that I found on Amazon. First thing I noticed when I turned it on is that I can hold a conversation while it's running. It's a low to medium hum that's produced while on, and that was a nice change when we juice at night because before I was always concerned about the neighbors. The input tube is much smaller (only about an inch and a half), so most everything has to be cut into pieces first, which means that initial prep does take a little longer. Interestingly, the juicing is opposite with this one when it comes to the type of produce: carrots, apples, sweet potatoes, and the like are juiced incredibly well, and so is spinach. But kiwis just get pumped right through the system, with almost no juice at all. But the first time I tried the juice that I got out of my mixture, I was really surprised; the juice is much more flavorful than the Breville made, and with significantly less thickness/pulp. The cleanup was also basically the same amount of parts, but they were all much smaller and easier to handle.
So here's the pros and cons of each.
Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain
PROS:
- Fast process
- Little to no food prep before juicing (large opening for produce to be dropped in)
- Effective juicing of soft fruits
CONS:
- "Thicker" juice
- Larger parts to clean
- Not great at juicing the entire harder produce (i.e., carrots)
- Kind of loud
- Need to scrub the straining screen pretty thoroughly
- Produce waste has to be scraped out of container (tool comes with juicer)
- Practically spits out berries and leafy greens
Omega J8003 Nutrition Center Single-Gear Commercial Masticating Juicer, White
PROS:
- Smaller parts to clean
- VERY flavorful juice
- Well strained juice from pulp
- Quieter than expected
- Juices harder produce very well
- Easy to dispose of produce waste
- Very effective with leafy greens (spinach)
- Ok with berries
CONS:
- Have to prep food first to fit in smaller input hole
- Not great at juicing softer fruits (i.e., kiwi)
- Takes somewhat longer overall during the entire juicing process

What's great about it: Easy to clean, great price for a beginners juicer, looks sleek, easy to use
What's not so great: Only one speed and a little loud
I bought my Breville last Thursday and started juicing right away. I was a little scared about putting whole veggies in there like, beets and apples, but that little wonder juiced 'em like a pro! Cleaning is pretty simple, but I noticed that I had to scrub the filter pretty hard to get all the pulp out. Other than that, it's been a breeze!
I have read that other juicers have multiple speeds and I understand why. This only has one, and with softer fruits and veggies, I think it would juice more fruit /veggies with a lower speed. I've noticed chunks of fruit in the pulp catcher. The manual says to push the fruit down slowly to reduce chunks, but the speed the blade is going, that's hard to do. I need to keep working on that.
