Review:

Breville makes a host of other kitchen appliances as well, but they’ve really put a lot of thought and work into the JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor. They call it a juice “fountain” for it’s rumored ability to produce literally a fountain of continuous juice. It has been timed at making an 8 ounce glass of juice in 5 seconds.

An interesting feature of this juicer is that the feed tube and cutter assembly isn’t offset to the side like most other juicers but features a straight down centered approach. This is sort of cool as it has better balance and is more efficient for the cutting assembly. Very cool idea.

The motor is a powerful 600 watts (Some places mis-label it as 450 watts) and attains over 14,000 RPMs which is pretty darn fast for a juicer. People have noted that it is also loud because of the powerful motor, but on the flip side, because it juices things so spectacularly quick you don’t have to run it for as long continuously.

In general, people seem to think that you get what you pay for with the Breville JE900. It’s very sturdily constructed with quality parts. This isn’t an exceptionally cheap juicer, but it’s extra wide feed tube and ability to completely juice many difficult fruits and veggies is notable. At 3 inches wide, it’s supposed to be one of the largest feed tubes on a juicer, allowing easy processing of awkwardly shaped juiceables. Consumers have noted that while the makers claim you can put a nearly whole apple down the tube, it’s much more efficient to cut up the fruit and vegetables into chunks as you would other juicers.

Another selling point is that it is much easier to clean than other juicers. All of the parts that need to be cleaned are dishwasher safe and have rounded surfaces that even make washing by hand an easy task.

The “micromesh” filter of the Juice Fountain maximizes juicing of the pulp because the mesh holes are so small as to reject any unwanted seeds and pulp while letting all of the juice through. The pulp that does come out of the machine is often nearly dry with no liquid at all.

In conclusion, it will cost a bit more but is definitely worth the extra for those who like quality parts and fast, powerful, consistent juicing.
