Bench take
The Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL is Breville’s entry in the juicers category. On the category’s key decisions — centrifugal vs. masticating, what you juice most, cleaning time, pulp handling — it deserves a place on any shortlist, provided the checks below confirm it fits your kitchen, your batch size and your care tolerance. This review does not claim hands-on laboratory testing: it assesses the product from its category, its maker’s line and the specifications buyers should verify on the manufacturer sheet for the exact variant they are buying.

Prices and availability change — the retailer page shows the current price for your exact variant. If the variant, size or colour differs from what you wanted, do not order it on price alone.
What this product is
A juicer extracts juice from fruit and vegetables. Centrifugal juicers are fast and easy; masticating (slow) juicers are slower, quieter and better with leafy greens. Your produce mix decides which type wins. Within that category, the Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL sits as Breville’s offering. The name itself tells you the most reliable facts — brand, product line and, where stated, size or capacity. Anything beyond that — exact dimensions, materials, warranty terms, care instructions — should be confirmed on the manufacturer sheet for your exact variant, because retailer listings for the same product frequently disagree.
Inside the juicer
Illustrative exploded view — parts shown separated so you can see how it fits together. Not a photo of this exact product.
Key decisions for this category
Centrifugal vs. masticating
Centrifugal is fast and handles hard fruit well. Masticating is slower and quieter and extracts more from greens, herbs and wheatgrass.
What you juice most
Citrus and apples suit either type. Leafy greens and herbs strongly favour masticating.
Cleaning time
Juicers with many parts and fine screens take minutes to clean. That cleaning time decides whether juicing becomes a habit.
Pulp handling
A large pulp container means fewer stops. Adjustable pulp control lets you choose texture.
What to verify before buying
Before you buy the Breville Juice Fountain Elite 800JEXL
- ✓ Juicer type against your usual produce
- ✓ Cleaning time and part count
- ✓ Pulp container size
- ✓ Noise level if you juice early
Where the manufacturer sheet and a retailer listing conflict, this site follows the manufacturer sheet and flags the conflict. Never buy a juicer on a single specification from a single listing.
Pros and cons — at a glance
These are the honest trade-offs for this type of juicer, not a score. The strengths are what the category does well when the size and care needs fit; the watch-outs are the checks that decide whether this particular juicer fits your kitchen.
What it does well
- ✓ Fits the juicers use case when centrifugal vs. masticating and what you juice most are checked first.
- ✓ From Breville, a maker whose line is built around this category — spare parts, care guidance and variant information are easier to verify than for a no-name listing.
- ✓ The name states the key facts (brand, line and, where stated, size) — so you can match it to the manufacturer sheet before ordering.
What to watch
- ✗ Low juice yield — check this before buying, not after unboxing.
- ✗ Juice is pulpy or foamy — check this before buying, not after unboxing.
- ✗ Greens yield almost nothing — check this before buying, not after unboxing.
- ✗ Retailer listings for the same product frequently disagree on size, capacity or care — verify the exact variant on the manufacturer sheet.
How to buy it right — in 5 steps
- 1. Measure first. Check your counter, hob, cupboard and storage against the manufacturer dimensions for the exact variant — not the roundup photo.
- 2. Match the batch. Size and capacity should fit your usual cooking, not your largest party. A juicer that is too big wastes space; one that is too small forces second batches.
- 3. Check the variant. Colour, size and included accessories change the price and the fit. Confirm the variant name on the retailer page matches the one you checked.
- 4. Run the verify checks below. Juicer type against your usual produce; Cleaning time and part count; Pulp container size; Noise level if you juice early. If any check fails, pick an alternative from the list below instead of hoping it will work out.
- 5. Check returns before ordering. Confirm the retailer return window for your variant, so a wrong size or a damaged arrival is a swap, not a loss.

The winner is insideCommon mistakes to avoid
Low juice yield
Feed produce slowly and in the right order — soft items after hard ones help push pulp through. Overfeeding floods the screen.
Juice is pulpy or foamy
That is normal to a degree. A fine strainer or a short rest lets foam settle.
Greens yield almost nothing
Greens need a masticating juicer or a bundle technique with a hard fruit to push them through.
Cleaning dread
Rinse parts immediately after juicing. Dried pulp on a fine screen is the hardest part to clean.
Who it suits — and who should skip it
Best for
Cooks choosing juicers who prioritise centrifugal vs. masticating and what you juice most, and who have verified the product’s size, capacity and care needs against their kitchen.
Skip if
You need a different size or capacity, you cannot meet its care or cleaning needs, or the verified specifications do not match your hob, counter or storage. In that case, compare the alternatives below before deciding.

Frequently asked questions
Is fresh juice healthier than store-bought?
It has no added sugar and more fresh flavour, but it still concentrates fruit sugars and removes fibre.
Which type is better for greens?
Masticating, by a clear margin. Centrifugal juicers struggle with leaves.
How long does fresh juice keep?
Best drunk immediately. Refrigerated in a sealed container, a day at most before flavour fades.
