But the Breville 800JEXL is more than just a pretty face. It is a powerhouse of a juicer that is capable of making delicious health drinks in seconds, not minutes. If style and speed are of the essence then this might be the best juicer for you.

Breville 800JEXL Review
Breville are well known for their top quality kitchen appliances. Compared to many other brands I feel that they offer juicers with better design features, more sturdy components and simply provide a better juicing experience. There are more expensive units that you can pick than this one but in my opinion, this juicer is good value for money. The best price Breville 800JEXL will set you back around about $300.
Centrifugal juicers are very effective at juicing hard produce. This includes things like celery, cucumber, carrots, apples, etc. Where they are weaker is with leafy green vegetables. You can read more about the different types of juicers available in the how to choose a juicer section. Suffice to say that for people who value speed and simplicity then centrifugal juicers might be the best option.
It is well worth comparing this model with a cheap Breville BJE510XL which costs roughly $100 less. It might not have the same sort of imposing presence, but with this lower cost juicer (which is actually newer) you actually get five different speed settings instead of just two. The BJE510XL to me looks more futuristic while the 800JEXL is a more classic design. You can see both these models pictured above.
