I typically use our juicer once a week for my weekly orange juice fix & lime juice for drinks & cooking. Also, about four or five times a year (more?) we'll use it for cases of limes and oranges at a time for parties. My once a week fix is about 25 oranges and about 20 limes. I just checked my order history and we bought this in May 2007 - it's still going strong and still feels and looks new. It makes quick work of juicing a case of oranges or a case of limes (mmmm, margaritas!) and I've also used it r

Outstanding. We have five fruit trees, therefore, a lot of fruit to squeeze. This is a great addition to my kitchen.

Madeline A. Dalton | Thursday, July 01, 2010

I was a little hesitant to get this juicer because of the price, but it is well worth the cost. It makes a glass of juice in seconds and is very easy to clean. We use it every day. The only thing that could be improved is the top part that pushes the orange down. It is a little difficult to lock it back in after cleaning but that's a minor issue.

I gave up my old citrus press assuming this one must be better. But it is just a nice machine. The design is beatiful, but the it works slow, gets stuck easily and the arms is complicated to use since it requires delicate motion and a specific angle to press.

My wife bought one for my birthday. It looked really sleek and beautiful and I was so pleased with my present. Then we used it... We set it up and began making lemonade for the party. After squeezing lemons AS DIRECTED IN THE MANUAL for 15-20 minutes it stopped working and would not start again. We looked in the manual under trouble shooting but no help there. We put it away and pulled out our old Cuisinart plastic citrus juicer ($29.95) we have owned for years and finished making lemonade for my birthday p

The Breville 800CPXL Citrus Press is easy to clean, light enough to move about but heavy enough to be very stable while in use. The fatigue factor while juicing was minimal compared to the usual Big Box juicer that I have experienced in the past.

Its simply GREAT -- I own 2 of the Citrus Press's , and love them -- Thanks to Amazon ! I will do it again !!

Anthony V. Tran | Wednesday, December 02, 2009

We received the product and tried it the next morning. My wife tried for 2 hours and the motor did NOT work. It is a simple juicer, turn it on and push the handle down and the motor supposed to start. But id did not. It was completely dead. Same day, I went on to amazon.com and check this LoDough Linens & More which has the policy of returning within 3 days, plus I have to contact Amazon Customer service for this matter. Only way to contact to this merchant was thru email. I did send them email and also called Amazon to report this. Next day I received email back from this merchant about the return with UPS label, they would only send out the new one when they receive the defective one back. I had to send out the defective one the next day. I received the new one more than a week later. This new one is working fine so far. I am not sure that I will buy from this merchant again since their return policy is only 3 days, NOT inline with Amazon.com 30 days policy. Fast sender, fast responding in email though. That's why 3 stars.

We've really enjoyed using this citrus juicer over the past two months: easy to use, quick, easy to clean. The stainless finish is attractive, particularly in our kitchen where we have no large stainless appliances. But it's kind of tall, and so storing it takes a bit of creative organization. We have an average-size kitchen, and the only place it would fit was in the base cabinets, vying for space with the pots and pans, and our veggie juicer. We use it regularly so it ended up in the lazy susan corner cabinet. We need to fold down the press arm a bit, and then deal with it when we remove it from the cabinet. Overall a good purchase so far, it seems durable so it will be interesting to see how long it lasts.

Unoman | Monday, September 21, 2009

This is a heavy duty stainless steel citrus juicer that looks as good as it performs. Extracting juice from oranges and other citrus fruits is a breeze. What I like most is that the cleanup takes just a couple of minutes of rinsing. I like the feature where you can "pause" the juice flow to switch glasses or whatever. If there is a minor gripe it is that the upper cup that is attached to the handle sometimes comes loose. I know that Breville designed this so that it is easy to clean, but they should have put some sort of a positive lock on it so that it comes out only when you want it to.
Other than that I expect this juicer to last a lifetime - it has an excellent build quality and considerable heft. I leave mine on the counter so that it is readily available - if you do not have the counter space, you might have to re-consider buying this juicer. All in all, I would strongly recommend this juicer

J. Devincentis | Monday, July 06, 2009

This thing is a piece of crap. The first one wouldn't spin up. Had parts rattling around loose inside. The second spun exactly once. Then would never start after that. Strongly suggest never touching the product. Breville's QA sucks out loud.

Lisa Jordan | Thursday, June 25, 2009

This is the best citrus juicer ever! Like others, I swallowed hard at the price tag. I even postponed ordering for a few days to think it over. Would I really use it enough to justify the high price tag? In the end, the rave reviews of others convinced me, and I'm glad they did! What a great purchase this was!

This machine makes juicing so easy! The designer was obviously thinking about every design detail. It's just about as perfect as a citrus juicer could be! Effective, easy to use, easy to clean, dishwasher safe--what more could one want?

The machine is faster and quieter than any other juicer I've owned (which is really nice first thing in the morning). And, unlike so many other juicers, the machine requires very little hand or arm pressure to do the job. The long arm takes all the work out of the process. And this juicer never balks, as so many do. It just does the job, quickly, thoroughly and efficiently.

It's now a pleasure to make fresh orange juice every single morning. I've also made real lemonade and fresh lemon-lime ade. Ever tried them? They're delicious!!! Oh, and we've made fresh grapefruit juice, too!
The machine has handled every fruit beautifully.

Like others, I do wish there was another, "coarser" strainer, for those of us who love lots of pulp in our juice. But maybe that would allow too many of the small seeds through. And it's not a big deal to just scoop out the pulp and add it to the juice.

I also was a bit concerned about reviewer reports of the large size. Yup, it's larger than regular juicers, but I love it so much and use it so much that I've "found" space on my counter for it!

If you love fresh citrus juice, for the flavor, for the health benefits, or both, Breville is the citrus juicer to buy! In fact, I'm considering splurging and buying one for each of my adult kids!

juicer | Thursday, May 28, 2009

I've pressed about 400 oranges and limes with this machine. It does a beautiful job of squeezing every last drop of juice from the fruit - and I mean it sucks it dry. The effort on my part is minimal. My only concern is that it sometimes makes a squeeky noise - so I don't know if it will last in the long term. I've used many juicers, and this is by far the best, so I'm hopeful.

Anthony Stewart | Saturday, May 09, 2009

This is one of the best products i have purchased. From small to large fruit..it works great. Cleanup is very easy..
No negatives at all.

In search of the perfect juicer | Friday, May 01, 2009

I just purchased this juicer and absolutely love it! I had purchased an Omega 5000 for about the same amount of money and this does not compare, it is so much better. Fairly quiet, very easy to clean and gets every bit of the juice from your fruit....when you pull the handle back, basically it's the rind of the fruit. You do have to clean out the pulp more often, BUT it's very easy to do. I'd researched juicers and most of the websites out there reccommended the breville. If you like fresh juice, this is by far THE best one. Moreover, you will be more inclined to drink fresh juice everyday because of how easy to use and clean this one is. I would say, as with most juicers, you want to clean it right away (it will be easier this way) and use very hot water as this will get all pulp out. I am a very picky person and had even spent about the same money for an Omega...wish I would have found this first. This is definitely worth the money.

Deb-Deb | Wednesday, April 08, 2009

This is a very good juicer. We got it for our oranges, lemons, limes ect. It works very well, so easy my 9 year old granddaughter uses it. Easy to clean up (dishwasher friendly). I love it.

Joseph Humber | Sunday, March 08, 2009

With great anticipation I washed all the pieces of the juicer, assembled it, cut in half eight oranges, plugged it in, turned it on, put an orange half on top and NOTHING. The motor would not start! I went over the trouble shooting list - yea, did that, yea, did that. Tried again - NOTHING. For the price this thing should work the first time.

Feb. 2009 - We've had the Breville Citrus Press for about a month, and we really like it so far. We purchased it to supplement our Green Star juicer which doesn't handle citrus fruits very well (or quickly)since we would have to peel the citrus fruit before juicing them. This citrus press has been very easy to use and clean up. We've been making a jug of orange juice every morning. The lever design makes it fast and easy to juice a lot of oranges at one time. It reams out the juice in no time at all! And the strainer allows just the right amount of pulp through. It's so fast that it's actually fun to use. Our 3 and five year old grand kids LOVE to help us make orange juice. We keep it on our counter because it is a little too heavy to haul out of the cabinet every morning, but it looks good so that's not a problem. I also like the way the flow of juice can be stopped at any time by flipping up the spout. The Breville Citrus Press is pricey but so far it's been a good buy so I rate this 5 stars.

Jan. 2010 - My Breville citrus press just stopped working!!!! The gears seem to be slipping and the reaming is not turning anymore. I have really enjoyed using this juicer every day. I am so disappointed to know that all of the reviewers who bashed this product really knew what they were talking about. At over $150.00 the lack of longevity makes this product a very poor buy!!!!!!! Save yourself the headache and spend your money elsewhere. I wish I could have changed my rating to a zero star.

James Shelton | Thursday, January 22, 2009

One of the few compensations for our long northeastern winters is the excellent citrus coming up from Florida. Over the years, I've wasted money on many juicers, but finally found the Breville which is just about perfect. Thoughtfully designed, very well constructed and really easy to clean. I've had mine for a year now and feel the Canadian manufacturers should be congratulated. Works on all citrus sizes, from limes to grapefruits. This is the quality of appliance we should be building in North America instead of buying the cheapies from Asia.

B. Amin | Tuesday, January 06, 2009

I have had an small appliances from KitchenAid and Black and Decker.Only thing is execellent for a premier Kitchen is their stand Mixers from Kitchen Aid. B & D Brand has all the appliances are disposable ones.
I am in the process of upgrading all the appiances in my Kitchen. I wish Breville makes Microwave Ovens ! Recently,I have purchased Breville's Juice Fountain{Elite},ikon diecast Blender,ikon 4 slice toaster,diecast citrus press Juicer,upcoming New tea Kettle and thinking about getting indoor/outdoor BBQ Grill from Breville.
I think Breville's quality in their each and every products is truely an extraordinary and par exellence. All the appliances are well thought and superbly engineered. They are pricey but well worth every penny.BUILT TO LAST.
I will give one example:I have had 4 blenders in past 20 years (1 KitchenAid,1 Oster and 2 from B&D)and all of them eventually either burned up or not upto the task of performing their duties. Total cost of all 4 blenders is well over 200 dollars. Finally, I got this Breville's ikon diecast Blender($.270 w/S&H).I'm quite happy with it's duties.
So,I think I'm SOLD on Breville Brand. No regrets!!!!

K. Galiger | Tuesday, December 30, 2008

I bought this for my wife for Christmas and so far we are blown away at how well it works. We like to juice oranges, limes and especially lemons for lemonade. This juicer is far anad away better than the plastic one it replaced, getting much more juice out of the fruit with much less effort, probably a good 33% more juice. It's pricey, but worth it!

Francisco Martinz Martos | Saturday, October 25, 2008

everything perfect except the cleaning of the fruit holder,
yet a great Citrus Press.

yves | Friday, August 29, 2008

I was about to rate it 5 stars, but a few minor details could be improved:
There should be a way to keep the handle in the low position to store the machine under cabinets (it is a little bit to high).
The "coarse" grid does not let pulp go through
Big grapefruits can't be squeezed completely

But very easy to clean, very efficient, silent, beautiful.
Heavy, though...

Glenn R. Huebschmann | Saturday, June 14, 2008

It looks great. But mine is dead out of the box. This is the first sign that quality control on an otherwise well made product is not good. I would not expect a $170 juicer to not even work out of the box. I read the instructions several times, because I thought for sure it was my fault, but everything is assembled properly but the motor doesn't even spin.
I'll return it and try another. But be prepared if you order this online, having to do a return for one could be pain. Very disappointing. Hopefully I can report better results with another one. I was going to order their multi-speed juicer as well, but I think I'll make sure one of these works long term first.
Update - After a week the replacement one arrived. Yeah. It only worked for 3 seconds, motor stopped, and now NOTHING again. I called Breville, and they were not very helpful. The best they could offer was to ship it to them. I think a bad batch of these has gone out and they have poor quality control. I'm afraid to buy another one or any of their products at this point. For this amount of money, the product should be MUCH more durable. Very disappointing.
