Breville is renowned for the quality of their centrifugal juicers, and the BJE820XL is their most powerful, and in many aspects, their most impressive model. Made from heavy duty die cast metal, the body is extremely sturdy and built to last. It comes with the quality features you would expect from a Breville juicer, like a 3” feed chute that is centered over the cutting disc, a powerful motor that makes quick work of fruits and vegetables with a high juice yeild, large, pulp and juice containers and easy clean up. But this machine also delivers a bit more.
The BJE820XL comes with a 5-speed 1200W motor, Breville’s most powerful offering. It also comes with a second cutting disc for softer fruits designed to puree and optimize juice yield from this type of produce. This model is built to perform and deliver for beginning and experienced juicers alike.

What Do Owners Think About Their BJE820XL?

What Could Be Better:
Nothing is perfect for everyone, some of the aspects of this juicer that some owners were not happy with include:
Noise: Moving at such high RPM’s will cause any centrifugal juicer to produce a fair amount of noise, especially when compared to masticating juicers.
Leafy Green Performance: While it does produce juice from the likes of cabbage, kale and other leafy greens, some users were not happy with overall yield from this type of produce.
Wet Pulp: Some fruits, such as grapes left wetter than desired pulp, meaning not all of the juice was extracted from fruit.
Summary:
This top of the line model from Breville is the company’s most powerful juicing machine. If you want a fast machine and are looking to primarily juice harder produce this unit is a winner. While leafy greens are not the BJE820XL’s strong point, it still is able to juice just about everything thrown its way.
