Negative Reviews

• The last piece of fruit or veggie makes a very loud bang as it is juiced
• It is kind of loud
• I tried to juice some parsley, leafy greens, and the speed, even on low, causes the greens to just go right into the bucket without being juiced
• Time consuming (easy, but time consuming) to clean
• Sometimes the waste is wetter than I expected
• It is going so fast sometimes that produce will be shunted off into the waste before the machine can break it down further
• It is a little heavy
• The pulp is NOT as dry as I thought it would be
• It is not the best for juicing green leafy vegetables
• Sounds like a small jet
• Leafy type things such as kale do not juice well
• I used this juicer for a year and a half before it broke. Called Breville and could not get the part I needed to fix it
• You have to clean the filter right when you're done juicing, if you do not the screen can clog up
• This juicer died after 5 uses
• Whenever I juice juicy veggies like tomatoes, it goes everywhere
• This juicer is not efficient as it requires much more fruits than my previous juicer to extract the same amount of juice
