This is a great juicer for people who are also environmentally conscious. As its name states, it is powered by hand so other than your own strength, there is no energy required to run it. This juicer is both compact and light weight. It is primarily designed as a wheatgrass Juicer however can be used for a wide range of vegetables as long as they are cut small enough. It is great for travel and can be used almost anywhere as long as there is a flat surface for it to be used upon. It has a patented suction base that makes it easy to secure and operate. The juicer comes with instructions regarding how it is to be put together as well as a 1 year warranty.

This is one of the cheapest manual wheatgrass juicers available today. Not only is it in-expensive, it is also a great little juicer that releases a high level of juice from the vegetables that are fed into it. As it is a manual juicer, this is one area that costs can be reduced. So even though it is something that means you have to do a bit of work yourself, a manual juicer can be just as effective, if not more, than many electrical juicers available today.

Included with this juicer are extra parts. These are bits of the juicer that come under greater stress than others and therefore may become worn and break over time. However with the spare parts you are able to replace them and get your juicer working again easily.

The Breville BJE200XL juicer is a good entry level juicer. At under $100, it comes at a reasonable price but at the same time has features that you may not expect to find in a juicer of this price. These include a wide 3 inch feed tube that helps save time as it takes large chunks of fruit and veg. It is also very easy to clean which makes a juicing lifestyle much easier to stick with. There are numerous positive customer reviews on Amazon.

It is possible to make enough juice for about four people before you have to empty the pulp from the machine. Even though the full name of this model is the Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain, the motor provides enough power for household juicing needs. One of the features that Breville boast of this model is its Cyclonic Juicing System which aids juice extraction. The motor operates at a speedy 14,000 RPM.

Regardless of how good a juicer it is in theory, it is only really as good as the number of times you actually use it. Fortunately if you purchase the Breville BJE200XL juicer you will find that is a machine that is easy to use over and over again. This is because of the ease at which you are able to clean it. Included in the box is a special cleaning brush designed specifically for this machine. The only part that you need to use the brush on is the central cylinder with the cutting blades and wire mesh. The brush makes it easy to remove all the tiny bits of fruit and vegetable pulp from the little holes. It is easy to pick up brushes sold seperately that will do the same job but it is a nice touch that one is included.

The four washable parts are also dishwasher safe. This is a feature of centrifugal juicers that you may not notice at first. They all have much fewer parts than other types of juicers, namely masticating and twin gear machines. They are also much easier to fit together, operate and take apart. So overall this makes for some serious time savings if you buy a Breville BJE200XL juicer. Being able to use the dishwasher is a bonus because the time that it takes to clean some juicers can be enough to put you off using them. Not so with the Breville BJE200XL. You simply give the parts a rinse and then can let the dishwasher do the hard work as you sit back to enjoy your delicious juice! That said, it is easy enough to wash a centrifugal juicer by hand. One thing that makes the clean up easier is to wash the machine as soon after use as possible. This means that just running it under some cold water is often enough to get it clean and ready for another use.

This concludes my Breville BJE200XL review. It is a great low cost juicer.

After a little bit too much alcohol the night before my friend and I changed our morning gym session to the afternoon. Then back at my house I decided we needed a juice that would help flush the remaining hangover effects out our body. Pineapples seem to be really cheap where we live right now. I haven’t juiced much of it in the past but thought it would be worth a shot and it would give us a nice vitamin C boost. Mixing this with some apples would help produce a decent amount of juice. Finally as I don’t like things that are too sweet, some ginger helped us spice things up a bit.

Perhaps it was someting to do with our hungover state but this juice tasted really good. Sweet n’ tart with some ginger warmth.

Adding the ginger, then apples and finally pineapple seems to be the best order for this juice. I use a Magimix le Duo centrifugal juicer and the pineapple does a good job of blocking up the small holes where the juice is supposed to go through. So when I do the pineapple first I get less juice for the amount of fruit I use and the pulp remains wetter.

The amounts of fruit I used for this juice were:

• 8 apples (small-ish)
• 1/2 pineapple
• big chunk of ginger

After our night of alcohol fiending this fruit juice was a great to help us feel human again.
