- Great Juicer but Plastic gear wore out after about a year We use this juicer everyday at least and it works great! Just recently the plastic gear inside wore down and so it would not work properly. We contacted Breville today and they had none in stock and also said that it was beyond warranty. We bought it at Williams and Sonoma originally and called them. They told us that everything at their store is lifetime guarantee, up until just recently. Luckily, they did exchange this juicer for us free of charge but that won't happen in the future because of people abusing the system. I am hoping Breville will fix this problem before my juicer breaks again. I hope they will replace the plastic part which does slip off. If we could have replacements of the plastic part that gets stripped or better yet give us all metal ones. Otherwise once this one breaks again I will have to buy from a different company. This juicer is too expensive to have to replace every year. At this point as a naturaopathic doctor I cannot even recommend this juicer to my patients without giving them a warning about the faults of it.
- Great juicer with a plastic problem We have had the juicer for a year or two and enjoy the ease of juicing oranges which we do daily. Cleaning is not a problem to me. But the plastic part under the cone wears out and I don't see anywhere on the website that I can buy a new one. Breville do well to correct this problem - it shouldn't be a big deal to make that part of metal as well.
- Love this juicer but it broke at 1 year anniversary I bought the Breville Citrus Press a litte under a year ago but it broke as it neared its one year anniversary. My family makes orange juice every morning. I love this citrus juicer. In fact I think its the best small appliance in my kitchen. The design of combining the electric reamer and the lever/arm is ingenious. This design removes the strain of having to push down on the citrus which makes making a lot of juice a breeze. However, the juicer stopped working recently. My husband says that while the jiucer is well built on the outside, the inside gears are cheap plastic and the teeth of the small gears are stripped. So with regular use these gears would of course get stripped and chewed up. The gears should be made of metal. I contacted Breville by calling and e-mailing and experienced problems doing so. They finally called me back and gave me the name of 2 vendors in neighbouring states who may be able to repair the juicer, one of which has not been a Breville repair vendor for quite some time. I now have to mail this heavy juicer out of state and will have to pay to get it repaired, unless I can purchased the small plastic gears. I am disapointed that Breville markets this product as being able to handle heavy use but apparently its cheaply built where it counts the most ... the inside. Durability sucks!
- WOW - This is the BEST juicer EVER! I have fruit trees in the back and wanted something to handle the load. I was given the Breville as a gift for Christmas and can't begin to tell you how well it works! It juices the fruit so well that nothing is left but the rind. I was so impressed I had to tell all my friends that have fruit trees to go out and get one - NOW! How did I ever get along without it!!!!
- WOW - This is the BEST juicer EVER! I have fruit trees in the back and wanted something to handle the load. I was given the Breville as a gift and I have to say it is AMAZING! I am telling all my friends about it - they also have fruit trees. How did I ever get along without it!!
- Great machine witho only one drawback I have had this machine 2 years and it is the nicest juicer I have used. Only problem is the cast alumium cone does not have a smooth surface, and is difficult to clean. I wish they would have made it out of stainless, likke the rest of the unit, or at least highly buffed and polished the aluminum casting. I have started to polish the one on my unit to solve the problem, but this is not that easy to do by hand. Please Breville, redesign that part .
- Awesome Product Wonderful product......quality...durable....excellent.....lasts and lasts....
- Awesome Product This is the most wonderful juicer! I purchased this product at least a year ago and it is very durable. This is the third juicer I purchased.....the other brands broke in a short time. Love this product....highly recommend it **************!
- Perfect Design and ease of use/cleanup make this the best citrus juicer I have ever used. There are now three units in family (Dad, me and my brother). Thanks Breville.
- A keeper! I bought this for my husband, and he uses it often and really loves it. I agree that it is easy to use and easy to clean. I thought it was a little pricey, but, it very quickly extracts every bit of the juice from the fruit. It seems very durable. Great find!

Feisty, Frothy Mimosa
Instead of a well-behaved juice, you get a frothy, sensual experience. A cold, frothy orange juice mixed half and half with a chilled, dry sparkling wine gives you a mimosa teeming with activity.
