Review Summary: A fair juicer
 
Review Content: I bought this as it is rated a 'best buy' by Which? And so I was a little disappointed but probably because I expected so much more! To be fair, it's so much better than my old one, very quickly making juice from fairly large apples (although we still have to cut up the larger ones). The juice is good but, contrary to one of the other reviews, there is still a fair amount (around 30%) left in the pulp (apples), which can take some squeezing to get the best yield (but it gets out so much more than the cheaper models, so fair's fair). I would say it took an hour to get 1.5 litres from a small bucket of apples but much of this time was cutting bad bits out of windfalls. Noise not an issue. A pain to clean but much better than others and the included brush is a nice touch. As I have come to expect, Amazon delivery was very good.

Review Summary: Brilliant
 
Review Content: A powerful whole fruit (apple) juicer, lots of juice, easy to clean and quiet. My wife loves it and she usually hates this sort of work!:)
However, I am now back home and had a go myself. Spent 2 hours doing 4 litres of juice, and 45minutes cleaning up the kitchen. Hard work reminding me of the work my mum did back in the 70's making her kitchen a bombsite with the mess, chopping, juicing, straining of the resultant juice. Can handle only the smallest of apples whole the rest have to be chopped. The machine stopped every 2-3 minutes to be cleaned and de-apple-pulped. Buy it as a hobby machine but if u have a few trees like we do, buy sometihng designed for light inductrial use.

Review Summary: Excellent juicer!
 
Review Content: I've had few doubts before I bought this juicer - because I've read some not very good opinions about different models of Breville mid-shelf juicers. Finally - I've decided, that since I don't have £100 to spend on top shelf juicer - this one will do.

It's been only second day since I've received it - but I know I'm not going to regret it. It's well spent £50!

It's very simple to use - just two speeds, one for fruits and one for vegetables, but speed 1 is more than enough to juice carrots or beetroots. From two carrots, apple, orange and beetroot I've received full, 250ml glass of yummy juice. Received juice is clear - without any bits and pieces drifting in it and the pulp in the pulp container was nearly dry! You couldn't get any more juice out of it! Had two juicers before - and in both - the pulp was quite damp after all.

Cleaning - well as with all the juicers, cleaning is a bit annoying, still - it's all about separating parts (nice and easy) and rinsing them. There's a special, very handy, plastic brush attached, which helps a lot with cleaning a filter.

As for the noise and stability - very stable, doesn't try to run anywhere (unlike my two previous juicers) and not as loud as I expected it will be. Sure - it's still 750W, but if someone else is in the kitchen while I'm juicing - I can actually talk and hear what the person is saying.

As for durability - can't say yet. I can only hope it's going to last long, long time.

Once again - highly recommended product, especially if you're fed up with slightly cheaper but very noisy, unstable juicers - leaving half of the juice in the pulp.

ps. sorry for any mistakes in above text - tried my best to avoid them, but english is not my first spoken language.
