Breville RM-800JEXL Remanufactured Die-Cast Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor

Best Juicer for the $$$
I'll start by suggesting everyone looking to juice watch the documentary "Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead" Throughout the film they use the Breville as the standard for their juice fasting. I figure if its good enough for people juicing every day for every meal, then its good enough for my general needs.

Not only is it just a great film in general but it will change the way you look at your everyday diet. It will also help you get the best out of your juicer while explaining the benefits of FRESH juice.

We saved ourselves $100 by going with this remanufactured unit, and it is nothing short of amazing. Out of the box this juicer is built like a tank. This is not a "bullet" or a "vitamix" this is a full fledged juicer built for everyday use. Stainless steel covers The entire base and all of the moving parts are very solid and assemble and disassemble with the greatest of ease. The plastics they use for the pitcher and pulp catcher are also a...

This this is a BEAST!
So, I just finished putting, like, 20 pounds of produce through this thing, and it performed very well.

The instruction manual is well written, the whole device weighs 15 pounds or so, and when you turn it on, it spools up like the engine on an F-16. It is mean sounding. And it powers through produce like a metal, herbivorous animal. Honestly, you could juice a steak with this thing.

So, refurb is always dodgy, but it came with a 90 day warranty, which isn't mentioned on the product page. From what I understand, breville makes great products. My last juicer broke when a lemon seed shattered the plastic feed chute-- the breville fells really solid, like the plastic parts are made of Nalgene.

So, a great buy at a 100 dollar savings.

Well made but could use design improvements
This is the first juicer I've ever owned and I find it well built but I feel that it could use some design improvements. This thing is built like a tank and I expect it to last a very long time. The juice that it makes seems to be very good quality. There's two things however that really frustrate me with this product. The first is that when I first got it and turned it on, the blade/filter assembly was not properly seated due to bouncing around during shipping. Not being familiar with the product I turned it on and the blade/filter assembly ground against the chute removing a row of teeth from the blade and marring the end of the chute. Would have been nice if the unit were designed to safe guard against this as it is my feeling that it's very easy for this mishap to occur. My second gripe is that sometimes on high speed, the juice cup vibrates away from the juice spout discharging juice all over my counter.
