Since juice is now becoming a big time industry because fruit and vegetable juices have come to be known as very healthy alternatives to soda and other drinks, I wanted to get myself a juicer that would give me the best quality for the money. I did not want to settle for something cheap, I really wanted to be able to make the higher end Jamba Juice kind of juices that I prefer if I am eating out. I wanted something heavy duty but still easy to clean so the Breville BJE200XL had good reviews and I got it for myself as a way to invest in better health. First off, this thing is super powerful and there is not a lot it will not be able to blend down to whatever consistency you might want to drink. The 3 inch feed tube is nice and big so you can fit plenty of berries or large pieces of fruits or veggies in there with no hassle. It comes with a brush to clean the knife blade that grinds the fruit, but the parts are all dishwasher safe. I have not found it difficult to clean at all which is something I worried about. For $99 this is a great bargain and can handle even the tougher end veggies beautifully so I definitely think I got a great deal on it. Because of the machine’s power it only takes about 10 seconds to prepare a glass of 8 oz of juice so that is definitely a very strong value since you do not need to grind away for five minutes the way you would with a cheap juicer.
