Is this a centrifugal or masticating juicer?

It is a centrifugal juicer: a spinning basket shreds produce and throws juice through a mesh. That makes it fast but gives lower yield than a masticating juicer.

Do I need to chop fruit before juicing?

Most whole apples, carrots and similar produce fit the wide chute. Very large items still need cutting to fit.

How does it handle leafy greens and soft fruit?

Use the lower speed for soft produce and bundle leafy greens tightly. Centrifugal juicers extract less from leaves than a slow juicer.

Can I store juice in the jug?

The jug has a seal-and-store lid, so juice can be covered and kept in the fridge. Fresh juice still oxidizes, so drink it soon.

How much juice does the 2L pulp container hold?

The pulp container holds 2L, enough for a long session before emptying. The juice jug is separate and smaller.

Our take on the Breville Juice Fountain 2L 2-Speed Electric Juicer

The Breville Juice Fountain is a centrifugal juicer with a 2L pulp container and a wide feed chute that takes whole fruit and large vegetable pieces with little chopping. It runs two speeds, with a lower speed for softer produce and a higher one for firm items, and pours through a custom nozzle into a seal-and-store jug. It suits people who juice often and want fast output and easy cleanup rather than the slow, high-yield pressing of a masticating juicer. Centrifugal machines like this trade some juice yield and nutrient retention for speed, and the open feed chute is the main convenience over narrow-chute rivals.

What reviewers say

4.4 / 567 ratings

Owners rate it well overall and single out the wide chute and fast juicing as the reasons they keep using it. Complaints center on pulp left wet and on the cleanup and counter footprint of a centrifugal machine.
