Breville Elite Juice Extractor or Breville Ikon Juice Extractor? Has anyone tried both models and prefers one over the other?

I've only tried the Ikon, and am satisfied with it. It makes perfectly good juice. I don't see the need to spend the extra $, although granted I've only been using it for a month (approx. every other day). I would be interested to hear from someone who has tried both. I'd like to know, for instance, if there's a higher yield with the Elite, or is the Elite expected to last longer?

I have had several juicers and out of all of them this one is the easiest to clean. The only problem is it does a poor job at extracting juice. You'll end up pouring most of the juice down the drain with the pulp.

For the past 20 years, I just used a couple Jack LaLane juicers . . . they were around $100. at Costco, and worked fine. I would go thru spurts of "juicing" and then stop. I discovered Dan McDonald on YouTube. I have completely changed my eating and juice everyday. He recommended the Breville Fountain Elite . . it costs more, but has been worth for me. It is faster, more powerful and easier to clean. (I put a plastic back in catcher) . . I am 65, and I feel 10 years younger. If I were you, I would watch Dan McDonald on YouTube, purchase this Breville, and juice as much as you can. Joan Brock

I was not happy with the hand blender and ended up purchasing the Breville stand mixer. I felt the Bamix was difficult to clean and change attachments. My honest opinion,

My neighbor had the 8006 which is why I looked at Omegas in the first place. I borrowed it and ultimately decided to get a centrifugal style juicer because of two shortcomings: clogging, difficulty with soft veggies and fruits, and the small strips you had to reduce your veggies into in order to fit them through the feed chute. So when this model came out, addressing those limitations, I purchased it without hesitation and have no regrets. Absolutely worth the higher price.

This is the best one that I have used. My first one lasted for several years. My newer ones have not. I do use it everyday, so I can justify because of use and price that I replace it every year. They really don't make them like they used too. I have found that different battery brands change the frothers performance.

I want to add to my previous comment by saying my juicer with the red feet is the original model- I have had it for decades; it still works great. Sounds like the switch in manufacturers has altered the new model for the worse. Too bad.

I have used both. I find this electric wok easy to use and clean. *Both give you great control over the heat.*Stove top wok might store easier...more like a bowl.*Stove top wok always looked sort of dirty.*Breville wok super easy to clean and is non-stick (stove top one from the past was a nasty mess).*Electric wok frees up stove for other cooking if needed.*Breville wok is stable, no wobbling around or need to move it around while cooking.Overall, I prefer the electric wok.

Hi Jeannine, I purchased the Breville and was not happy with having to "tamp" the ingredients in order to achieve thorough blending. The Ninja is the only blender that utilizes a 3 tier, 6 bladed system that circulates the ingredients for a thorough blend. The Ninja Mega system comes with everything you need and also has additional accessories. It also costs less than half the price for more uses and we are thoroughly happy with it. Check for "World's best blender" commercials on TV or maybe Utube. Good luck!

I just think this thing is junk. It oxidizes food way more then any of the other 7 juicers I have worked with. I really love my Angel Juicer especially for greens. I know it is expensive but I have two of them...one for each home. It saves me money on vegies. I probably get 30% more juice from an Angel thin a ACME spin type juicer. I doubt that the Breville will yield much juice toward your drinking glass but do not know. There are You Tubes that will show real life comparisons of juice volume, ease of use and other important reviews. Good luck.

I have nothing to compare it to other blenders but I am satisfied on the amount of juce I get from leafy greens. However I have only blended Kale. Overall I am very satisfyied withe the Breville jucer.Kind regards,Claylon

Sunny: Here is my thinking on the top squeezer. It will make pressing down easier, but is not as efficient as the hand in juice extraction. The top can only press downward and does not accommodate all sizes of oranges and grapefruits. The hand will squeeze and ocilate, making it more efficient in extracting all the juice. If you get the top, please let me know if you find my thinking to bre true.Thanks,Ian

I only have the 800JEXL model. If particles get lodged on the mesh the Breville 800JEXL will vibrate violently until the mesh is cleared.This model does a very goob at juice extraction.

Kuvings NJE-3580U Masticating juicer is less expensive. Other functing wise, i have never used Omega juicer. I encourge you to do more research on the comparison of Kuvings and Omega juicer.

I'm having a hard time deciding between a Vitamix or a Juicer. I know the vitamix has a 5 year warranty, where the Breville only has a one year warranty. They are both expensive. Which one would be better for dieting? With the vitamix you get the whole foods (right)? Where with the Breville, just the (nutrients)?

Mine is the Hurom Premium Slow Juicer/Smoothie Maker. It is very quiet and works great. I do not know what a 2014 HH Elite is except it looks just like mine with the exception of the auger (shaped just a little different) every other part is the same.
