Is the Breville Juice Fountain Plus good for leafy greens?

It handles them, but a centrifugal juicer extracts less from spinach, kale and wheatgrass than a slow masticating model. For greens-heavy juicing, a masticating juicer is the better fit.

Do I need to cut fruit before juicing?

Most apples, carrots and similar produce fit whole through the wide feed chute. Very large items still need to be halved.

How does it compare with a slow masticating juicer?

It is faster and easier to load, but leaves more foam and pulp and yields less from soft or leafy produce. Masticating juicers are slower but extract more and run quieter.

What speeds does it have?

Two: a lower speed for softer fruits and a higher speed for firm vegetables like carrots and beets.

The parts detach and rinse quickly, but the mesh filter basket needs brushing to clear pulp. It is not dishwasher-safe for every part.

Households that juice fruit and root vegetables often and want speed with minimal prep. It suits daily use better than occasional juicing.

Our take on the Breville Juice Fountain Plus

The Breville Juice Fountain Plus is a centrifugal juicer with a wide feed chute that takes whole apples and other large produce without much pre-cutting. It runs at two speeds, with a lower setting for softer fruit and a higher one for firm vegetables, and its motor is built for regular daily use. It suits households that want fast, clear juice from common produce and don't mind a little foam. Against masticating rivals it is quicker and easier to load, but it extracts less from leafy greens and its spin leaves more pulp in the juice.
