Cons

Dimensions: 10.5 x 10 x 16 inches – Weight: 9 pounds

The Breville BJE200XL Juicer eases the space problem effortlessly thanks to its compact size. This is certainly one of its best features, and although it’s not all that tiny, it’s smaller than most 700-watt juicers.

It has a modern design coupled with a shiny finish that allows it to match with numerous interior décors. The compact size allows users to place the appliance on countertops of any size and subsequently store it inside cabinets. The 3″ wide chute can accommodate average-sized apples and pears without cutting.

Besides the compact size, this device weighs quite less, meaning that users can lift it from high cabinets and place it on countertops without much hassle. When it comes to appearance, home design-savvy people will find this appliance to be pretty satisfying.

Motor: 700 watt – RPM: 14000 – Voltage: 120V

Equipped with a powerful motor, which is tasked with spinning a sharp stainless steel cutting disc that rotates at a speed of 14,000 rpm allows the blades to cut through both fruits and vegetables regardless of their size. Such speed also ensures that users produce juice within a short period.

This juicer is able to extract a lot of juice from any ingredients. This can be observed from the pulp, which is usually pretty much dry after the juicing process. Basically, the Breville BJE200XL Juicer produces a smooth, delicious juice that’s filled with a lot of nutrients.

Despite its one year limited warranty, the Breville BJE200XL Juicer is designed to serve its users for a long period. It’s equipped with a heavy-duty, yet compact juice fountain that helps it to extract juice from the ingredients without breaking from the pressure.

Its blade and filter are made of stainless steel, which makes them hardy and rust-free. Therefore, users can make juice from tough fruits like pears and apples for years without causing any damage to the blade or filter.

The exterior covering, pulp container, and juice jar are comprised of hardened plastic that helps them to withstand rough handling and abuse for a longer period.

It produces a smooth, scrumptious juice in a jiffy, allowing users to embark on their other chores promptly. Its 800ml juice container allows more yields of juice than most of its counterparts.

Also, since this is a fast centrifugal juicer, the produced juice should be consumed within the first few hours of extraction. This is because the nutrients will diminish with time, not to mention oxidation. Thankfully, oxidation can be delayed for 24 four hours if the juice is stored in a sealed container inside the refrigerator.

Since this Breville BJE200XL Juicer is a centrifugal juicer, it is very easy to use. It only features five removable parts including shredding disc, plunger, cover, as well as juice jug and pulp catcher. This means that it’s pretty easy for the user to dismantle and reassemble the juicer.

• Despite being a compact juicer, it comes with a rather generous feeding chute that allows users to feed bulky veggies and large fruits like apples into the juicer.
• The size of the chute also means that users can push multiple ingredients at the same time. This feature saves them ample preparation time.
• The chute is also fitted with a cut blade that helps with chopping the ingredients from the beginning of the juicing process.
• This juicer also features a plunger that helps users with pushing the ingredients deep into the feed chute.
• This juicer also comes with a simple operating mechanism, which includes a single on and off switch.
• Users can continuously make juice without having to stop and pour out the pulp or transfer the juice to a container, all thanks to a 1.5-liter pulp container and an 800ml jug that holds the produced refreshment.

Considering that this compact juicer is comprised of only five removable parts with most of them being dishwasher safe, cleaning it is easy and should take just about five minutes.

The hardest part to clean is the mesh-filter basket that requires a thorough scrubbing. The good thing is that it comes with a pre-packaged brush that’s specifically suited for cleaning the filter as well as hard to reach areas in the other components.

However, the secret to cleaning the filter is to clean it off before the pulp dries up and clogs it, preferably immediately after use. The motor housing can be wiped with a damp cloth to get rid of any spills.

For a compact juicer, the Breville BJE200XL Juicer features a powerful motor that helps with breaking down the fruits and veggies with the utmost speed.

It’s simple yet stylish design makes it an easy match for different kitchen designs. In general, this juicer is ideal for beginner juicers and people who are on a tight budget but need a sturdy device.
