Review:

Braun is a very popular brand name in many stores and often known as a manufacturer of coffee makers and blenders. The Mp80 is a low to mid price juice extractor offering of theirs whose attraction seems to be the ease of assembly and disassembly, as well as its compact shape. Space is a pretty high commodity in many small kitchens so this is definitely something to take into account.

Cleaning seems to be fairly simple, with most parts not containing extremely small corners that can’t be cleaned. The obligatory juicing macine roar seems to be of mid level tolerability for most folks. The motor is 250 Watts, which is decent.

One issue seems to be the somewhat small and narrow feeder tube. This can be solved by chopping up the fruits and veggies into smaller pieces… it’s not certain if the feed tube is deliberately small to make sure the motor is able to handle the size of product that is put down it. People have also noted that the juice produced seems to be on the pulpy side.

Another more serious issue seems to be fan blades on the motor which have a tendency to break off. It’s not clear whether damage in shipment is a prime culprit, or just poor design. In any case, if you can see that the white fan blades on the motor have cracked off in shipment you’ll probably want to get a replacement before trying it out.
