Breville BBL550XL 5-Speed Blender Review

The Breville Ikon five-speed juicer has been well worth the money spent.  For the first time ever, I found a way that I like to eat carrots.  My favorite kind of juice is carrot-apple-celery-ginger juice, with a drop of hot pepper oil for extra bite.

The juicer is sturdy and well-designed.  The chute where you put the fruit or vegetables is wide enough to take a whole uncut apple.  Very convenient to not have to spend a lot of time preparing the fruits and vegetables before juicing.

The juicer is easy to clean up after use.  The most difficult part of cleaning up is the spinning mesh basket that strains the juice from the pulp.  A scrub brush is included for this purpose, which actually works really well.

The fact that the juicer has five speeds is a nice feature that I couldn't find on any other juicers when I was researching which one to buy.  The idea is that you want to use the lowest speed possible for highest juice yield.

Best of all, the juice is yummy.
