- We Like It! My husband and I are enjoying our Juice Fountain Plus daily. As far as we can tell, the machine is well made and able to stand up to constant use.
- Quality is Outstanding I decided to go on a 21 day juice fast so I went out and bought this juicer. I was torn between this one and the higher end Breville model. I decided I would buy which ever one was in stock. I still cannot get over the quality of the juicer. I am on day 18 of nothing but juices so believe me I am getting my use out of this. I have saved alot of money due to less waste and more juicing. Like my husband said "It will pay for itself with the return amount of juice". I have been telling everyone about it. RUN, DONT WALK AND GET THIS JUICER
- Love it! I absolutely love this juicer! It is the perfect juicer for my household. I find cleanup a breeze. The discharge chute has not clogged up on me yet, and I have juiced large volumes at various gatherings this holiday season. I am very satisfied with this product and have recommended it to many friends.
- Frothy? Does anyone have any tips on how to juice with the Breville Juice fountain plus without getting so much froth... it seems that I juice an orange and yeild 8 0z but 5 of them are froth... undrinkable. This seems to be the case with apples and oranges. I tried juicing these fruits on the lower speed but i didn't get any juice and the leftover pulp was all mushy like applesauce... any tips are greatly appreciated!
- Easy to do Received this juicer from my daughter for my 70th birthday this month. I was used to her juicer and a little overwhelmed by the size of this one. My fears were put to rest very quickly after the first try. It was so easy and everything washed up so well. I've only done fruit but will soon be juicing vegetables. It is holiday time right now but as soon as the guests are gone, I'll be juicing to my heat's content! What a lovely and marvelous gift!
- Love it! I've had my juicer for almost two years and it's great. Easy to use, easy to clean. Couldn't ask for much more. I've recommended it to many friends and they love theirs too.

Filter
I have used a variety of juicers,and am generally happy with their performance. This is my first Breville.
Has anyone used a filter to cover the mesh, so that cleaning becomes easy?
From Breville
Hi Sridhar,
You would not want to use anything to obstruct the filter, it would cause it to clog and limit your juice yield.

Great starter juicer
I have had the juicer for about two years now and love it. It is very efficient at juicing and fairly quiet. (Even if my toddlers disagree.) The machine is easy to dis- and assemble and easy to clean. It handles fruits and all sorts of vegetables really well, though it seems to have a bit of a hard time with beets, which may be due to the blades wearing down.
My only complaint is that the juice pitcher is hard to clean, so I have stopped using it. If you would like it, bobajabob, I'd be glad to mail it to you! :-) -
Availability of replacement parts?
I have used my Juice Fountain Plus almost daily since purchasing it on April 1, 2007. With this much use the motor still works beautifully, and my only challenge is gettting some one to respond to my request as to where I can purchase replacement parts for all of the non - metal heavy plastic parts. With almost daily use for well over 2 years, the plastic parts are wearing out and have even cracked in some areas. I'm confident that with availability of replacements parts, that I will be able to use my Juice Fountain Plus for many more years to come.
From Breville:
Thanks for your feedback. We are adding new parts daily and will have them up soon.
- I love it This juicer is easy to clean and to use. I have tried apples, pineapple, water melon, honey dew, carrots, celery, tomatoes, ginger in varied mixtures and proportions and I love this machine. The only juice that was very dense, almost like a pure', was with pears, but I liked it, too.
