I would like to get the most juice possible from my fruits and vegetables. Which Breville model is best?

You need to watch Dan McDonald, Life Regenerator on YouTube. He says the single auger is best for getting the most juice out of fruits/veggies, but you have to cut everything up into smaller pieces, and it takes longer. . . clean up is not as easy as the Breville Fountain Elite. I had a Jack LaLane for years. It costs around $100. at Costco, and did fine for when I did juice. Now that I juice every stinking day, I love the Breville Fountain Elite. It costs twice as much, but is faster and easier to clean. Put a plastic bag in the "catcher" . . . If you are not going to juice every day, you can get a Breville one model "down" for less money. If you are serious about juicing, I would spend the money and get the Fountain Elite. I have a Lemon Ginger Blast (Dan's juice recipe every day) . . . Breville is better than Jack LaLane juicer, but both work. If you aren't going to juice very often, just get a Jack LaLane at Costco. If you mean business, get a Breville at Bed Body Bath Beyond and use a 20% off coupon. If you are really energetic, get the single auger (I'm too lazy for that). . . good luck. Joan Brock

I love the 800JEXL as it gives me maximum juice from veggies and fruits. I would not hesitate to recommend this appliance.

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.

I think you may want to consider a different type of juicer, like an Omega to extract the most juice. I'm happy with just adding in more fruits/veggies into the Breville. I belive the Omega will alos have less oxidation given the slower speed. Sorry for not directly answering your question, but I hope this helps.

The NC900 can easily juice the harder fruits and veggies. Garlic, beets and root veggies juice great. The challenge is the softer fruits and veggies, they tend to clog the juicer so it is important to alternate soft then hard. I chose the NC900after many months of wanting the Omega 8006. I did a comparison and the NC900 has a larger shoot kind of an upgraded model than the 8006. I am so glad I purchased this juicer! It is amazing!

Totally with both thumbs up, the Kuvings...I have the red one...or B6000 I don't remember the series. ..but that's the newest version I think. Its slower than others which is a PLUS because it provides more nutrients than any other slow juicer of theirs. I made a research till 4am before I got my Kuvings juicer and I never regret it for a second. Many people say it takes awhile to clean it up but come on, nothing in life comes for free. I adore my juicer and I enjoy it to its fullest! Good luck :) and stay nutritious.

I have found this model to be very inconsistent for some reason, so I returned mine and bought the 'Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer' instead. I couldn't be happier. I get the same wide mouth, but far better yield and quality of juice with the Kuvings. My suggestion: return the Omega BMJ390 and get the Kuvings, or something comparable.

If you want an alternate juice i would recommend the Tribest Slowstar Juicer. It is a vertical auger juicer and it juices as a very low rpm. All of the masticating do. You will need to chop your veggies and fruit smaller for that juicer but it's a better juicer and it has a seven year warranty. Oh, and as far as Omega: they are great juicers but you will need a vertical auger Omega to juice fruit and vegetables. That's why they have a whole range of juicers to meet every person's needs. The omega vrt 400 is their latest model and it's the one I would recommend. Their warranty is slightly better then the slowstar but the slowstar produces slightly more juice then the omega.

Only know of the Breville. Had it for a couple of months. Easy to clean and use. Makes great froth for lattes. Enough for at least 4 cups at a time.

They have stopped making this model. When I talked to their customer service when mine broke they replaced it with a remanufactured Breville BBL605XL Hemisphere Control Blender and separate juicier. Which was a great deal because mine were 2 years old and way out of warranty!

We love ours. Does a great job, super easy to clean, and no issues so far. Obviously the yield isn't as high as slow juicers, but this is the best one I have used. You have no worries going with this one.

I have never used the Cuisinart but according to on-line ratings, Breville is a little better. It is a very good toaster and warmer, baking tends to result in bottom burning a bit.

I have the Breville too (as well as the Calphalon). It's capacity is the same and works just as well.

I returned my cuisanart FP-14DC and purchased the Breville sioux chef 16 cup. My cuisanart would shut down many times while pulsing and the Breville is a beast of a machine and i would recommend the Breville. It's a few more bucks but the customer service is top notch.

The Breville Juice fountain processes kale more easily than my Hurom juicer. There's not clogging or sticking due to the long tough fibers in the plant. That isn't to say that some (or even much) of the kale juice winds up in the pulp. That can happen -- but 1 few tricks have improved the amount of juice I can get out of the kale though. 1. I put the kale into the chute alongside a firm fruit or vegetable like apple or carrot and process on the high/fast setting designed for harder fruits and veggies. 2. I juice the kale when it's very fresh and firm. If it starts to get a bit limp, there's not much hope of getting lots of juice from it anymore. Parsley, cilantro, spinach -- all of it does well in the Breville if mixed in with hard fruit and juiced on the highest setting.

Honestly, I would recommend the OXO reamer for that. It's amazing, so thorough and easy to use. The Amco squeezers are awkward, slippery, and difficult to use. I found it most useful for juicing pomegranates, but that's about it.

I always believe in buying the highest quality that you can afford. The juicer I have is very powerful and well made. I used to own a Jack La Lane which served my needs and I was rather happy with it. In fact I still have it. But now that I have the 800JEXL Breville, wow! Two speed motor, juices very fast and doesn't clog the way the Jack La Lane use to clog up. The cutting blades are very sharp and really extract the juice. The Breville is stainless steel and very easy to clean. The Jack La Lane was more difficult to clean. If you have the dollars to buy this Breville you will not be disappointed especially if you have ever used other juicers. Also, if you want to juice greens like collards and kale this juicer will serve you well. My Jack La Lane would just spit out the greens barely juice. I could not juice greens. As for the other models of Breville and juicing greens I can not comment. I only know that my 800 JEXL Breville juicer does a fabulous job on juicing greens.

I agree with Breville on this. I mix bread dough with this all the time. More than enough power to do the job.

I have the Omega 8006. I have decided on this juicer for juicing mostly greens. The difference between 8006 and the other models besides the color and pricing, * the 8006 includes a GE Ultem Auger which is 8x stronger than most other plastics. * Powerful gear reduction is equivalent to a 2HP Motor. * comes with a 15 year warranty. Here is a video where the 8005 and 8006 is compared. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r437hboI_U found a video where the 8006,8005, and the vrt 330 is compared juicing wheatgrass !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rchPqw2Z1g
