Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor

Breville JE900 Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice Extractor  is one of the earlier juicer among the Breville juicers. It was touted as the fastest juicer, producing 8oz of juices in just 5 seconds back then. With the low price tags ranging from $90-$120, it is a popular choice among juicing enthusiasts.

It is not difficult to see that great thoughts have been put into its design. Measuring 18 x 13 x10 inches, this unit looks simple and nice. The stainless steel design of the Breville JE900 juicer is exquisite. It is sleek and very contemporary looking adding elegance to any kitchen. It is made of metal and plastic with tones of dark silver and gray. The cord is just of the right length for the kitchen counter – not too long or too short. On top of that, it comes with a nice plug which is molded into a loop so that you can just grab and pull with a finger avoiding the risk of slipping and the risk of electrocution!

Here are some prominent features of the Breville JE900 Juicer that sets it apart from other juicers.

1. A powerful 600-Watt Centered Motor

With a 600 watts motor running at 14,000 rpm, this juicer is one of the most powerful domestic juicers available. The position of the motor, which is centrally located underneath the drive shaft, helps in giving the blades and filter maximum power in juice extraction. Unlike most domestic juicers which run at 5000 revolution per minute (rmp), the micro-mesh filter in Breville JE900 juicer spins at an incredible speed of 14,000 rmp. As such, you are able to get more juices out of your fruits in an incredibly short time. This special positioning of the motor also enable you to do frequent and regular juicing without causing significant stress on the motor. This makes the Breville JE900 Juicer more durable with less wear and tear compared to other domestic juicers.

The Breville runs with 2 speeds. The higher speed is suitable for juicing fruits while the lower speed is use mainly for juicing vegetables.

2. A Patented Italian Made Stainless Steel Micro-Mesh Filter.

In comparing this to other domestic juicers in the market, the filter holes on the Breville Juicers are much smaller. These tiny micro-mesh holes help in maximizing the juicing surface area enabling maximum extraction of juice from the pulp. That’s why you would find that the pulp from The Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Juice Extractor is much drier than any other brand of juicers. Wastage of the juices is hence significantly reduced in using the Breville juicer. The tiny holes also serve to block off the particles from the seeds, pulp providing you with fresh clear juices.

3. Large Feed Tube

This is one nice feature that I love. Unlike most other juice extractors where you need to cut or chop up your fruits to fit into the feed tube, the Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Professional Juice extractor comes with an oversize 3-inche wide feed tube. No more cutting or chopping required. It’s also uniquely rounded to allow you to easily insert in your whole apple or peeled oranges right into the tube! (Note: you may find larger apples a problem and cutting may still be required though not as much). A real time saver for someone that is looking for a quick juice without the usual hassle of peeling, cutting and chopping!

An added advantage in juicing whole fruits instead of cut fruits is that you get to retain all of the nutrients within the fruits as cutting or chopping may end up losing of the vitamins that are either light or heat sensitive or moisture sensitive.

4. A Large Detachable Pulp Container.

When it comes to juicing, I would like to get my cup of freshly squeezed juice as quick as possible. Can’t blame me as I am always on the rush especially when I have to rush off for work in the morning. So The Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Plus served me well. Not only does it come with an oversize feed tube (which eliminated the need for me to cut up my fruits into small pieces), it also provided a large pulp container. This means it can hold more residual pulp at any one time without you having to stop to remove the pulp in the midst of your juicing. Another big time saver.

Oh yes, not forgetting that the extra large pulp container is also designed to fit a standard plastic grocery bag so that you can have the pulp collected right into the plastic bag, without the need to clean the container at all.

5. Easy To Assemble and Clean

The Breville JE900 Juicer is easy to assemble and cleaning is really a breeze. The unit has 5 parts that needs cleaning that only takes 2 minutes at most.

- Food Pusher

- Juice Cover

- Filter Basket

- Filter Bowl

- Pulp Conatiner

 You can lined the pulp container with a grocery bag which can then be removed leaving the container clean and no washing is required. That makes one less part of the juicer to clean.

You simply rotate a metal lever off the top of the juicer, pull off the top which usually has a bunch of pulp in it. You just need to scrape of the pulp and rinse this part of the unit. Below that is the filter basket and the filter bowl which can be pull right off. Just rinsed the bowl and brush off any residues. The Juicer comes with a tiny brush which you can use to clean the micromesh filter basket and then rinse under a running tape.  

It is all very simple.

To sum it all, the Breville JE900 Juice Fountain Juice Extractor is an excellent machine. Other than the loud noise when in operation, everything else seems perfect. It’s also a bit more heavy than other juicers, at least for the main base.

As such, it’s no surprise that there are hundreds of good reviews on it. Here are a couple of them from actual user of this product :

This thing works so well. it made my old juice looks like a joke. breville is very reliable and it is the best appliances i have tried for many years.
it does what it says. i am so happy with it. so much faster to juice up. the waste container is so big that you dont have to keep emptying it
if you are doing lots of juicing at the same time. it does’nt really fit a whole big apple but it is much bigger than other brands.
really good stuff! i should have bought it long time ago
