Breville Big Squeeze Bjs700sil1bus1

I bought this product over the Hurom HZ and The Kuvingz EVO due to features and price point. I felt Breville would give me a quality product and I could trust that even though it was less expensive it would do everything these other machines do and better but it did not live up to my expectations. Now don't get me wrong if you are using soft fruit that isn't stringy you won't have issues and this product will work amazing. Yet pineapples, celery, oranges, cucumbers, mangos, you use enough of these and you will see the pulp back up alot. That is annoying especially when you only have 30 mins to use this machine. You have to stop to unclog it or continue try to prevent it from backing up in the tube by helping to remove pulp from clogging those little exit holes. ... MoreI bought this product over the Hurom HZ and The Kuvingz EVO due to features and price point.

So annoying in fact I bought the Breville bluicer 3x pro cause it was more powerful and I was disappointed by the amount of fruit it took to keep up with what I was recieving from the big squeeze. So it like sacrifice juice or be annoyed and waste time unclogging pulp everytime I want to make a green goodness type drink if you enjoy bolthouse juices you know what that is made of. Unfortunately I'm definitely returning the 3x pro cause that's not for me. I'm going to buy a hurom HZ or the Hurom H200 easy clean and see how it compares to the big squeeze before I return it. Because overall the Big Squeeze isn't as bad as compared to overall issue of other juicers I have had.

Bought this a few months ago. It's fantastic at juicing. Quite easy to prepare fruit and veggies and can create over a litre in as little as a few minutes. Breezes through hard veggies such as carrots, celery, apples, etc. There are only three downsides in my opinion. The first one is that the large item food shoot is a bit cumbersome, so I prefer to just send everything through the small hole chopped up smaller. Perhaps they could make this opening larger. The second downside becomes more noticeable after heavy use and that is that it is not as easy to clean as claimed. There are a couple of spots that no cleaning tools will reach, so moisture and bits of food can become trapped. I've really had to adapt how I use it and clean it to keep it clean. Not so sure the ... MoreBought this a few months ago. It's fantastic at juicing. Quite easy to prepare fruit and veggies and can create over a litre in as little as a few minutes.

There are a couple of spots that no cleaning tools will reach, so moisture and bits of food can become trapped. I've really had to adapt how I use it and clean it to keep it clean. Not so sure the cleaning brush will last five years, when it is used everyday. The last downside is the seal at the bottom can at times leak, but this is minor. However, overall I would still recommend this juicer given its actual juicing function and ability. Its intended use far outweighs the little inconveniences which hopefully Breville will put more thought into in the next model.

As the previous review mentioned, the drum lid breaks in the locking bracket after several months of work. I am in my third drum lid already. The first one broke after 11 months of daily use and the second one 9 months after I got it. For the first one I got it as a courtesy replacement from Breville but for the second one I got charged $60, which makes me think that I need to start looking for another juicer in the medium term if this is going to be a recurring issue, as it seems this is a design flaw in which the stress over the locking mechanism accumulates over time and it eventually breaks. Once this happens, the juicer is worthless as there is no way to keep it working without the locking mechanism staying in place.The cleaning is pretty annoying as well.

Once this happens, the juicer is worthless as there is no way to keep it working without the locking mechanism staying in place.The cleaning is pretty annoying as well. I have put up with it because the juice quality is truly great, but it is so annoying to clean it, especially the chute where the waste gets out.It is also easy to get it clogged if you are not careful with the order in which you load the fruits/veggies. I have found that the best results happen when you leave the toughest veggies at the end (celery, carrots, kale) because if you use them at the beginning, it is much easier that the juicer clogs.Anyway, I love the juicer when it works well, but you need to learn how to use it. And the design flaw with the locking mechanism is starting to reconsider if this is the right product in the long run.Edit. I tried to upload pictures but the webpage keeps erroring out when I try.
