I recently purchased the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer and had to return it after just three days of use because the motor died. Needless to say, I was quite unimpressed with its quality and performance. Previously owning a Champion, which did a good job, it was time-consuming to clean and a little on the `pulpy' side; it also had a small feed shoot. Because of comparisons and current use of the Breville 800JEXL, I now realize that I made an excellent choice in buying the Breville.

I accidentally stumbled across this juicer via Amazon.com and decided to buy it based upon the positive reviews everywhere I looked. (I honestly have not and cannot think of anything negative to say...from me or anyone else.) I just got my Breville 800JEXL and absolutely, positively love it.

This thing is built extremely solid and the outer shell is constructed of die-cast aluminum and zinc; it also looks like an appliance and is very appealing to the eyes. I cannot say enough about it as far as quality and design goes.

With an extra wide feed chute and powerful two-speed motor, this thing is extremely efficient. Also, most importantly, this thing totally pulverizes fruits and vegetables with its titanium-plated blade very, very quickly with an almost creamy taste to the juice. The quality is as good if not better than that from juice bars!

Being very easy and not time-consuming to clean, the extra-wide top (3" in diameter) is also a great feature along with "a safety device which safeguards against overheating with excessive loads".

Having owned a Champion and briefly, the Jack Lalanne Power Juicer, I have to say that this one blows them both away in everything I can think of. Get the "Juice Fountain Elite", and you absolutely will not be disappointed. (I do not work for Breville; I am just extremely impressed!)

My wife and I have owned and used just about every juicer on the market in the last 15 years, including a $1200 commerical juicer. There is no comparison between those juicers and the Breville 800, it is absolutely the best juicer we have ever used, produces incredible juice in seconds, easy to clean, quiet for a juicer, and the quality of construction and materials is excellent. I'm sure we will be using the Breville for years to come. I would definitely recommend this juicer if you want a quality product.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a MONSTER JUICER !!!, April 20, 2006
By Doghaus (Arlee, MT United States) - See all my reviews
This unit certainly typifies the old adage "you get what you pay for!"

Having gone through 3 other juicers,the Breville 800JEXL towers above the other brands with it's solid construction & thoughtful design.

I was impressed just by picking up the box! This machine weighs nearly 20 lbs and most of that weight is in the heavy duty motor
base. Removable parts are stainless steel and clean up much more
easily than cheaper competitors.

Everything about this juicer is professional grade. My wife
is ecstatic about how easily this machine devours large chunks of fruits and vegetables without so much as a hiccup. She has only
had to use the "high speed" option once, as the lower speed handles just about everything except for beets and other harder
than normal fruits.

As an aside, one of our neighbors purchased a "Jack L" juicer
at the same time we purchased this model. That machine self
destructed the very first time it was used to juice a beet! As
soon as it happened, she called us to find out where she could
get "a professional juicer" like ours....and to tell us that it would cost her another $10 just to return the defective juicer!

Don't even consider the units you see being hyped on TV. Pay
the extra $$ up front and purchase a juicer that will do the job and last for a few years. Now I just have to fight off the Grand kids that want Gramma to give them her juicer!
