- Long warranty
- Bulky and heavy (21 pounds)
Reviewers agree that Breville Juice Fountain Elite is the top juicer in its price range. Its three-inch chute means that many fruits can be juiced whole, saving time and effort. The powerful, two-speed motor allows for better torque when juicing hard foods, such as beets and carrots. Reviewers say that clean-up is fairly easy: although the Breville 800JEXL has several parts to clean, most are dishwasher-safe. The Breville Fountain Elite carries a one-year warranty on all parts except the motor, which has a three-year warranty. If you don't want to spend $300 on a juicer, credible reviews say that the 700-watt Breville BJE200XL Juice Fountain Compact (*est. $80) is an excellent value.
Britain's Which? magazine, Australia's Choice and New Zealand's Consumer magazines have tested and reviewed the UK and Australian versions of the Breville Juice Fountain Elite. At Amazon.com, the Juice Fountain Elite has accumulated more than 160 user reviews.

Review: Juice Fountain Elite Juicer Reviews, Contributors to Cooking.com
This retail website sells juicers, but also conducts its own performance testing on eight models. The Breville Juice Fountain Elite is fast and does an excellent job with carrots, but it didn't extract enough juice from spinach. It was considerably louder than some of the other juicers tested.
