Breville800CPXL Citrus Press Pro Juicer Machine, Brushed Stainless Steel

Easy, clean and does an excellent job. Seems as though they improved the spout. Now you flip it down to get the juice, other reviews complained about this feature leaking, but they improved it.EASY clean up. I purchased some glass bottles to store the juice. Here is my freshly squeezed orange & grapefruit. Took 10 minutes!

This is the best citrus juicer ever! Like others, I swallowed hard at the price tag. I even postponed ordering for a few days to think it over. Would I really use it enough to justify the high price tag? In the end, the rave reviews of others convinced me, and I'm glad they did! What a great purchase this was!This machine makes juicing so easy! The designer was obviously thinking about every design detail. It's just about as perfect as a citrus juicer could be! Effective, easy to use, easy to clean, dishwasher safe--what more could one want?The machine is faster and quieter than any other juicer I've owned (which is really nice first thing in the morning). And, unlike so many other juicers, the machine requires very little hand or arm pressure to do the job. The long arm takes all the work out of the process. And this juicer never balks, as so many do. It just does the job, quickly, thoroughly and efficiently.It's now a pleasure to make fresh orange juice every single morning. I've also made real lemonade and fresh lemon-lime ade. Ever tried them? They're delicious!!! Oh, and we've made fresh grapefruit juice, too!The machine has handled every fruit beautifully.Like others, I do wish there was another, "coarser" strainer, for those of us who love lots of pulp in our juice. But maybe that would allow too many of the small seeds through. And it's not a big deal to just scoop out the pulp and add it to the juice.I also was a bit concerned about reviewer reports of the large size. Yup, it's larger than regular juicers, but I love it so much and use it so much that I've "found" space on my counter for it!If you love fresh citrus juice, for the flavor, for the health benefits, or both, Breville is the citrus juicer to buy! In fact, I'm considering splurging and buying one for each of my adult kids!

I typically use our juicer once a week for my weekly orange juice fix & lime juice for drinks & cooking. Also, about four or five times a year (more?) we'll use it for cases of limes and oranges at a time for parties. My once a week fix is about 25 oranges and about 20 limes. I just checked my order history and we bought this in May 2007 - it's still going strong and still feels and looks new. It makes quick work of juicing a case of oranges or a case of limes (mmmm, margaritas!) and I've also used it regularly for grapefruit (see note below) and lemons.There are a few downsides that have semi-remedies:Hard limes. We have a lime tree and sometimes the fruit is quite hard. This can seemingly cause the machine to seize up (doesn't seem to hurt anything, just won't squeeze the juice). Our solution to this problem has been to roll the limes first to make them less hard.Oval limes & lemons. If the cut citrus is more than half a round ball the juicer can't really handle it properly. Our solution to this is to use slices of the middle for garnish and then the fruit squeezes much more easily. Now we have pretty lime slices for margaritas or orange slices for other edible garnish.Huge grapefruits. So while it works "okay", you do feel like you do feel like you're losing some juice on these. I haven't let this problem deter in my love for the machine. I simply wring the last bit of juice out by hand so that I don't feel like I'm wasting any.Cleaning. Clean immediately and there will be no problems, but if you leave the pulp for a day (or night), it's not going to be so easy to clean. I put all of the parts into the dishwasher and have never had a problem.Cabinet space. I used this at a friend's house and saw that low cabinets can interfere with the handle, but I use it on an open island and my cabinets at home have more space between cabinet and counter top so it's no problem for me. At my friend's, I simply moved it closer to the edge and was much more careful about placing a glass to catch the juice so that it wouldn't slide off.Slippage. It does move around some on slick counters. I have that problem (not really a problem, in my humble opinion) with my new granite counter top, but I'm sure that I could put it on a mat and stop that problem if I really felt it were a problem. I do keep my eye on where it is.Pulp. Sometimes if you're doing a lot of oranges or grapefruit that has a lot of pulp, you may need to empty out the basket. I don't see this as a problem, but I saw someone else comment about it. I do let the machine go extra revolutions for about 30-60 seconds to make sure I'm getting all the juice, but then I spoon out the seeds and pulp into the trash (or disposal to make the sink smell nice) before going another round. It comes with two pulp screens - one for low pulp and the other for higher pulp. Keep in mind that most of the nutrients are in the pulp. I love that you can change it because sometimes I use lime juice for a Thai soup and low pulp is better.The ease of use, the ease of cleaning, and the results produced have made this a GREAT BUY! I'm not a fan of products that have only one use, but even if I only used this for squeezing oranges, I would still say that it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I have used many a hand squeezer or reamer and I still do on occasion for just one lime or whatever, but if you want fresh squeezed orange juice, this is definitely the way to go.

I ordered the juicer a few months ago and there was an issue with the top portion attached to the handle releasing the dome. I contacted Breville and they were super helpful. I shared a video with them and was sent a return label and I received the replacement shortly thereafter. I used the juicer this morning for an orange/lemonade (2 navels to 1 lemon) and it works remarkably well! I foresee using it at least once/twice a week and am so pleased with the design and how well the juicer is made. It's expensive though a great investment!
