PROS:
  • Speed Control – You can adjust blades’ spinning speed according to the softness of the fruits and vegetables you juice. The 5-speed motor provides flexibility and increases the juice yield.
  • Juice Quality – The squeezed juice has great taste and most owners like that there’s almost no pulp in the juice.
  • Clean Up – All of Breville’s juicers are designed to be very easy to clean and BJE820XL is no exception. The metallic construction, interchangeable disks and removable pulp container make this model easy to clean.

CONS:
  • Noise – With the 13,000RPM at the highest speed, the motor can be quite loud. Noise is not specific for this model. Centrifugal juicers are well known not only for their speed but also for the noise, they produce.
  • Leafy Greens – Often, when you try to extract juice from leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale or wheatgrass, the larger chunks end up in the pulp container. Overall, the BJE8200XL is not performing very well with that type of foods.
  • Price – Some owners appreciate and are happy with the puree disk and the overall performance of the juicer but find it to be too pricey.

The Breville BJE820XL Juice Fountain Duo is an all-in-one juicer with which you can make both juice and puree. It comes with two disks – a Nutri Disk which cuts the hard ingredients with ease and a puree disk that is designed for softer fruits and vegetables and increases the yielded juice.

The Breville BJE820XL Juice Fountain Duo is a top-of-the-line juicer utilizing the latest technologies in it. If we had to describe it with three words, they would be fast, easy to clean and high-quality juice. Most owners on Amazon rate it with mid to high 4s out of 5 stars. This machine is the best choice for those who wish masticating juicers were a bit faster and centrifugal juicers produced juice with more natural taste.

Breville BJE820XL Features

1200Watt motor

The BJE820XL motor is one of the most powerful across the brand’s series. The high-power motor is relatively quiet. It supports 5 speeds and spins the blades at a range between 6,500RPM and 13,000RPM. The slower speeds are performing better with soft foods while the fast ones are better with hard fruits and vegetables.

Wide Feed Chute

Like other Breville products, the BJE820XL has extra wide feed chute – 3 inches. This allows you to juice large fruits and vegetables with little or no preparation or cutting required before that. You can even place whole apples and carrots in the juicer.

Two Disks

What makes BJE820XL stand out from other juicers is the two-disk system. The puree disk solves one of the issues common to all centrifugal juicers – most of them don’t perform well with soft fruits. With the puree disk juicing blueberries, bananas, etc.

Safety Features

The Breville BJE820XL has a few protection features integrated. First, the overload protection which prevents over-heating. When the machine gets overloaded, it is automatically shut down to ensure safety usage. Second, there is a safety locking arm whose purpose is to ensure that the machine cannot be started without it being safely locked.
