Breville Juicer - Juice Fountain Review

When I got engaged, part of the wedding preparations involved registering for gifts.  I must say this was a lot of fun =)  As we were meandering through the kitchen appliances I spotted the Breville Juicer-Juice Fountain.  My mom had a juicer and I used it once every 4 or so months before I got married.  This one looked nice and modern compared to the one my mom had that was all white and would get stained from all the carrot stuff.  Well we did end up receiving the juicer and I was excited to start using it once we came back from our honeymoon.  I usually only make carrot juice.  Whenever I start to feel a cold coming on, I juice carrots and I don't get sick.  The juicer was powerful and quick.  The 3-4 carrots fit in the opening at a time.  The only down fall was that the part of the veggie that doesn't get juiced that is supposed to be spit out is collected around the inside of the juicer.  So after juicing about a quart or so, the juicer stops and you can't keep juicing unless you throw out the pulp that is sitting in the juicer.  It really isn't a big deal to me but It might be an issue to someone who needs to make larger quantities of juice at a time.   In addition, I sometimes like to throw in a green apple to mix with the carrot.  I always have to cut the carrot into pieces because the opening is not large enough to fit an apple.  For the price it was selling for $99, i thought it was a great appliance.  I don't use it on a regular basis.  I probably take it out and use it once a month.  It is a good product that is compact and is simple to assemble, use clean and store.  Other juicers are very large, this one is great for someone who would use it to make juice for 2-3 people at a time.  Finally, it is a modern color of silver and gray.  If you have Stainless Steel appliances in your kitchen, this product would match perfectly!
