Breville Juicer Reviews??

[snoops]

It doesn't really matter, from what I've read, what kind you get but I would recommend a masticating one over a centrifugal one for the reasons outlined above in the post about the Omega, which is what I have and I love it.

I just sold my Breville that I used daily for 3 years. I did enjoy it but I had to run everything through it 3-4 times to get several cups more juice out of it. I understand that the masticating juicers (twin gear juicers) will leave dry pulp and I am hoping I will not have to run it through several times. Now, I am just trying to decide between Greenstar and Omega or maybe just go for the Angel which I hear is the best. Just dont know yet. I miss my juicy days! :)

Hey rebar im relatively new too Ive been doing it for like 3 months and I bought a hamilton beach pro which was $70 and it works fine but its loud. If you dont mind paying for quality check out the omega vrt350 its the one im currently saving up for :) it seems really easy to use and clean, and it makes the highest quality juice which is what won me over. Good luck!

I own both the Omega 8006 and the Breville Ikon. Out of curiosity I did a comparison between the two. The Omega does a better job with leafy greens and hard fruit, but the Breville did a better job with juicy fruit. Very juicy fruit, like pineapple or oranges, etc. gets clogged up in the Omega. The pulp (of the very juicy type fruits) that does come out is pretty wet. Even running it through again gets a little more juice but clogs up the gears even more. But the way around that problem is to put in your very hard produce like carrots at the end which then pushes the wet pulp through. Cleanup with the Omega is very fast and easy. The Breville has much larger parts and a very large basket.
But with the Breville you have to roll up the greens and even then it does a fair job.
But interestingly, I did a yield comparison between the two and with a recipe of kale, spinach, carrots, celery and apple the yield was EXACTLY the same. Although the Omega had a richer denser look due to the leafy greens.

Initially, I started looking for a juicer because my dad has a pear tree which every year overwhelms us with fruit. After watching the video's I see many people have started due to health concerns or issues. While I'm healthy for now, my daughter is over weight. Iv tried to talk to her about it but didn't get far. Im hoping this juicer may make my families diet better but to do so, the juice needs to taste great. Which juices can you recommend which will get us hooked? Then I can decide on which machine easier.

I have a Breville and an Omega. I prefer the Breville. It is fast (continuous juicer), my Omega is not. I have to stop and clean it out after juicing a few items. Also, the mouth is small and I spend alot of time cutting things up.
The Breville leaves the pulp very dry. The Omega did not.
Many get into the argument about centrifugal vs. masticating. To me, it's a moot point. I will use whatever does the job best and that I find easiest to use and clean. Centrifugal juicers don't go fast enough to heat the juice to where it will kill the enzymes anyway so why the fuss. As long as you don't let the juice sit around for a long time the enzymes are active.

So juice and be happy and don't get caught up in all of the fuss. Use what works for you.

I saved and was able to buy the Breville Citrus Juicer. I consider it a 'luxury item' for me because I did have a Braun citrus juicer (that was 38 years old - ha) that still worked perfectly. But the Breville is basically hands free - no more holding the citrus in my hand while it juices. I juice a lot at once, especially lemons. I juice a 5# bag and freeze it in small portions. *Ü*

I just used my Breville Juicer Plus for the first time today. That thing has some power! But very easy clean up. I bought mine on ebay for about $30 less than at the store, but all in all, it's a nice juicer so far. I did watermelon and strawberries... it didn't juice up all of the watermelon, so the person above is right in that you may have to run produce through a few times. I'll try that next time.

i think before we can tell you which is the best juicer, we need to know what you will be juicing the most. if you are doing mainly fruits, then the masticating juicers like the omega j8004, 8005, 8006 are out of the question, but if you are going to juice a lot of wheat grass, then centrifugal juicers are worthless for that purpose.

i really like watching his videos, but sometimes i feel like he is a bit biased...if i remember correctly, i saw a video of juicer comparison between a masticating juicer and a centrifugal juicer, he used the centrifugal juicer first...which took 30 seconds, and then he juiced with a masticating juicer...it took so long that he had to edit it forward...by that time (im guessing 15 to 20 minutes later), the juice from centrifugal juicer has already separated, while the juice from the masticating juicer is just done. he then compared the separated juice to the newly pressed juice. other than that, his videos are fun to watch, and you get to see a lot of the juicers in action.
