Most careful buyers research before buying, and with a potentially life-enhancing device like the Breville Professional Juice Extractor, it is wisdom to compare juicers. Before I purchased the Breville, I compared it to its primary competition, most notably Jack LaLane’s PowerJuicer. Fortunately, I had friends with both so I was able to make side by side comparisons.
In the areas that count–ease of use, clean up time, amount of juice extracted, reliability of construction–both were roughly equal. The LaLane juicer was noticeably quieter, but the warranty was for merely 90 days while the Breville was for 1 year. In the world of trade off, I could endure a brief burst of vacuum cleaner level noise secure in the knowledge that the first year of operation is critical in deciding whether the cost was worth it.
Essentially, both Juicers are quite similar and represent the inescapable world of tradeoff between desire for healthy living and the irritation factor in achieving that living. The nature of any juicer is to provide juice. What separates the juicer also rans from the truly quality devices is the convenience. And it is precisely here that the Breville stands out. No juicer user is immune from the rather tedious chore of cleaning the device, but the designers of the Breville juicer have minimized the fuss so that one can thoroughly clean the juicer within 3-4 minutes. This time frame suggests that, even for the Breville, one is not likely to make a single glass of juice at a time. Rather, one is far more likely to make several glasses for the family at mealtimes or snack times. The amount of juice extracted is another significant factor. The Breville juicer gets at least as much juice as the LaLane PowerJuicer. One can measure the amount extracted by the dryness of the remaining pulp, which in this case, is nearly bone dry.
So the point is: Is the Breville juicer a worthy competitor to the best of its kind? My answer, having tried both the Breville and the LaLane juicers for many times, is yes. The Breville Professional Juice Extractor works well, lives up to its hype, and even looks ergonomically well. Recommended.

Changing the World, One Apple at a Time…
Unrivalled power meets highest quality components and revolutionary design in this life changing appliance. Touted as North America’s fastest juicer, after being timed making an 8-ounce glass of juice in an astonishing 5 seconds, the world’s fastest juicer might be a more apt description. Designed by innovative, world-renowned engineer Keith Hensel in 1999, the Breville Juice Fountain was the world’s first domestic juicer to accept whole fruit and vegetables with no chopping, peeling, slicing, or dicing.
Named for its ability to produce literally a fountain of continuous juice, where other juicers generate a mere trickle, the JE900 Juice Fountain has seriously changed the way the world looks at juice. Where traditional juice extractors require time consuming preparation, feeding, and cleaning, the Juice Fountain completes the whole home juicing experience in less time than it takes to brew a cup of coffee. The Juice Fountain’s ability to juice whole fruit, to reduce juicing time by up to 90%, and to yield up to 30% more juice, stems from a combination of innovations. Even its unofficial tag line as “a juice bar in your own home” doesn’t do justice to just how fast and convenient the machine is. Thousands of families from Australia to Japan and everywhere in between enjoy fresh, healthy juice every day thanks to the Breville JE900 Juice Fountain.
Amazing Innovations
600-Watt Centered Motor
This Professional Juice Extractor’s motor is positioned directly under the drive shaft so no power is lost in electrical transition or resistance. At 600 watts, the motor is one of the most powerful domestic juicers available, and its centered location directly over the drive shaft means a true 600 watts of power is delivered to the cutter and filter. The higher wattage not only delivers faster and more efficient juicing, it’s also powerful enough to juice regularly without significant stress on the motor.
Patented Center Knife Blade Cutter Assembly
The Juice Fountain is the world’s only large feed tube juicer to feature a centered feed tube and knife blade cutter assembly. Other juicers receive fruit and vegetables toward the circumference of the cutter-blade putting uneven pressure on the cutter and filter. As a result, it is not possible to balance the cutting assembly to attain sufficient speed for optimum juicing. The patented Juice Fountain design accepts fruit directly on to the center of the cutting assembly where a small, dual-bladed Italian made knife shreds the pulp into tiny particles and pushes it against the filter.
Over 14,000 RPMs!
The unique centered cutter assembly, together with the 600 watt motor, allows the Juice Fountain to deliver unparalleled speed to the filter. The Juice Fountain’s Italian micro-mesh filter spins at an incredible 14,500 revolutions per minute. The greater the revolutions, the faster the fruit can be juiced, and the greater the pressure on the pulp against the filter. Breville’s lightning speed filter ‘G-forces’ the maximum amount of juice from the pulp and makes an 8-ounce glass of juice in as little as 5 seconds (tested using apples). The 14,500 rpms of the Juice Fountain compares to about 5,000 rpms on most other juicers.
Italian-Made Stainless Steel Micro Mesh Cutter and Filter
Italian engineering is renowned for its uncompromising quality and eye for detail. The Juice Fountain’s micromesh filter is no exception. Comparing this to other filters it is easy to see that the engineering differences are significant. The filter holes on the Breville filter are so tiny that the individual holes can’t be detected with the naked eye yet the screen is see-through. The thousands and thousands of tiny, micro-mesh holes maximize the juicing surface area to squeeze every last drop of juice from the pulp. Because the holes are so small, they effectively block any seeds, pulp, or rind to deliver nothing but fresh, delicious juice.
3-Inch Wide Feed Tube
The Breville Professional Juice Extractor features the largest circular feed tube of all juicers in America. The unique rounded shape allows for easy insertion of whole apples, pears, tomatoes, peeled oranges, even handfuls of carrots at a time. Where other juicers take several minutes of chopping, peeling, slicing, and dicing, the Breville is large enough and powerful enough to accept whole fruit. This revolutionary design reduces juicing time by up to 90%, making the Juice Fountain a practical way to get natural nutrients and vitamins for the whole family each and every day.
Extra Large Pulp Container
The extra large pulp container is designed to fit a standard plastic grocery bag to capture all the pulp for no-fuss clean up. Because the pulp is exceptionally dry with the Breville Juicer, and the pulp container is so large, it is practical to juice continually for several minutes before the pulp container needs to be emptied. For those that don’t want to waste the pulp, the Juice Fountain’s free instruction manual has delicious recipes for muffins and cakes using the pulp.
Smooth Rounded Dishwasher Safe Parts
Easy cleaning was at the top of the priority list for the Breville design team when engineering the Juice Fountain. Having tested dozens of juicers and spoken to thousands of consumers, the overwhelming response was that juice extractors are just too difficult to clean. The Breville Juice Fountain is a delightful contrast. Not only is the pulp container designed to insert a grocery bag to capture the pulp, but there are only three other parts that require cleaning. All of them are top-shelf dishwasher safe and feature smooth, rounded surfaces that rinse easily under the tap. Even washing by hand takes only seconds as pulp residue slides right off the smooth surfaces. The Juice Fountain comes with a bonus cleaning brush designed to slide effortlessly around the micro-mesh cutter and filter making cleaning a breeze.
