Measuring 9.5 x 8.8 x 16 inches (width x diameter x height) and weighing 21 lbs, the Breville compact juice fountain is a heavy-duty juicer ideal for kitchens with limited space. A centered knife assembly rotating at 14,000 rpm, powered by a 700W motor, ensures that the Juice Fountain produces 8 ounces of juice in as little as 5 seconds.
The stabilizing dual-knife assembly centers produce over the cutter and filter to ensure they're minced and forced against the stainless steel micromesh filter. Not only is it strong enough to juice a pineapple with the rind on, the speed and positioning increases juice volume by up to 30% and works 10 times faster than other juicers.
The extra-wide feeding chute also enables users to feed in whole apples and cuts down on preparation time. The accompanying pulp container is large and easy to assemble, while all removable parts are dishwasher safe; a custom cleaning brush is available for those who prefer cleaning the juicer by hand.

Powerful Motor, Quiet Operation, Clever Design
The powerful motor impressed people who used the Breville. One review writer was impressed yet intimidated by how she didn't have to use the producer tamper for any reason other than to cover the top of the juicer. This was done so that any produce that was put in wouldn’t shoot back out.
Users were also delighted that the juicer operates very quietly for an appliance with such a powerful motor. The weighted base that dampens the noise also serves to ground the juicer so that it doesn't vibrate or move when in use. More than one review liked the power plug's design as well, which was easy to plug and unplug thanks to its molded loop. Others were impressed that the juicer basket was held in place with nothing but magnets, making its removal an easy task.
Provides Efficient, Time-Saving Juicing For More Intense Juice Flavor
Enthusiastic juicers were happy with the 3-inch wide feed chute, which enabled them to fit in whole carrots, beets and small apples. Not only did they find the juicer easy to use, they were pleased that it worked as quickly as the manufacturer promised.
Other than juicing fruits in a shorter time than it does to collect them, the Juice Fountain also has high juicing efficiency; owners found that the resulting pulp was very dry. Users also thought the frothy juice produced had a "greener" and more intense flavor.
In addition to being a good workhorse, the Breville juicer was as easy to clean as advertised. The appliance could be taken apart quickly for cleaning, and put back together in the same short span of time. One user found that it took 2 minutes at most to clean the juicer by hand, a boon for those who don't have a dishwasher.
Doesn't Work As Well with Softer Fruit
While the juicer does an extremely fine job of juicing things like celery, carrots, apples and oranges, it does not fare as well with softer fruits like berries. One disappointed review writer found that the juicer's fast, but non-adjustable speed meant that softer fruit would hit the blade assembly and bounce off intact. The motion of the fruit combined with the juicer's spinning action causes profuse leakage around the base and cover, resulting in quite a mess.
