These two juicers are very similar in many respects. How do I know? Because I own them both They are made by the same company so it is to be expected that many of their design features will be related. For example, they both have Breville’s signature wide feeder chute. On both the 800JEXL and the BJE200XL the hole is 3 inches wide. So with both machines it is easy to feed in whole bits of fruit and vegetables. This saves time because we do not have to chop up our ingredients very much at all.

They both come with a 1.1 liter collection jug which is just the right size to catch your juice as it comes flowing out of the machines. The jugs have a froth separator which stops any foam on the top of the juice from going into your glass. These juicers also have a cleaning brush included. This is handy because it helps get rid of the fruity pulp that often gets caught in the blades and filter basket section.

Also, both machines have dishwasher safe parts. Of course, the electrical base section cannot go into a dishwasher, but all the other parts are fine. They can be placed on the top shelf so you can take care of cleaning them that way. Personally, I always wash my juicers by hand as soon as I have made my juice. This is the easiest time to get them clean. It gets much harder to clean the filter basket if the fruit and vegetable pulp has a chance to dry on.

Another similarity is that both machines are centrifugal juicers. They are able to make fresh fruit and vegetable drinks in literally seconds and they are both easy to clean up after use. So with all these similarities maybe you should buy a Breville BJE200XL. After all, this juicer is about 1/3 of the price of the top of the range Breville 800JEXL machine. That said, there are obviously some differences.

When you look at the two juicing appliances above, it is easy to tell which one is the more expensive. The look of the BJE200XL is nice but the 800JEXL is amazing! Its body is made from die cast stainless steel. You can purchase these juicers on Amazon so it is a good idea to compare the prices there to check the latest deals.

The more expensive 800JEXL device is a twin speed machine. There is a high and low setting. This means that the central cylinder with the cutting blades can spin at either 13,000 RPM or 6,500 RPM depending upon the type of produce you are putting into it. The BJE200XL on the other hand only has one speed setting, 13,000 RPM.

I am actually a big fan of the Breville BJE200XL. To me, it represents great value for money. Admittedly, I do think that the 800JEXL looks much nicer. And as a present, it would make a much nicer gift. However they are two machines that, while looking different, do pretty much the exact same thing. They make juice.

Both the Breville 800JEXL and Breville BJE200XL are great juicers. I like using my 800JEXL but I would not recommend buying it on juicing grounds. However if you have the money and want the most stylish Breville juicer available today then it is the one to choose.

The Breville BJE200XL juicer is a great entry level juicer. In the U.S. it costs less than $100. This is a low price but it includes many of the features of more expensive juicers in the Breville range. I own this model as well as the Breville 800JEXL, which is their stainless steel juicer. In many ways, these machines are fairly similar. For instance, the BJE200XL has a wide 3 inch feed chute that helps save time as it takes large chunks of fruit and vegetables. It’s also very easy to clean which makes a juicing lifestyle much easier to get into. There are numerous positive customer reviews on Amazon. Considering my own juicing journey starting out with a budget centrifugal juicer, I think that this is the best juicer for a beginner, under $100. In my case, it actually cost me over $200 for this unit as I ordered from Amazon in Japan.

It is possible to make enough juice for about four people before you have to empty the pulp from the machine. Even though the full name of this model is the Breville BJE200XL 700-Watt Compact Juice Fountain, the motor provides enough power for household juicing needs. One of the features that Breville boast of this model is its Cyclonic Juicing System which aids juice extraction. The motor operates at a speedy 13,000 RPM.

Breville BJE200XL Features

Regardless of how good a juicer it is in theory, it is only really as good as the number of times you actually use it. Fortunately if you purchase the Breville BJE200XL juicer you will find that it’s a machine that is easy to use over and over again. This is because of the ease at which you are able to clean it. Included in the box is a special cleaning brush designed specifically for this machine. The only part that you need to use the brush for is the central cylinder with the cutting blades and wire mesh. The brush makes it easy to remove all the tiny bits of fruit and vegetable pulp from the little holes. It is easy to pick up brushes sold separately that will do the same job but it is a nice touch that one is included. The shape of the filter basket makes it easy to clean as well. It is just a single piece of stainless steel. Compared to my Magimix Le Duo, the Breville is easier to get clean.

The four washable parts are also dishwasher safe but to be honest, I recommend washing your juicer by hand as soon as you are finished using it. Centrifugal juicers typically have fewer parts than masticating and twin gear machines. They are also much easier to fit together, operate and take apart. So overall this makes for some serious time savings if you buy a Breville centrifugal juicer.

Best Price Breville BJE200XL

If you think this juicer is right for you, before purchasing one, check out the various retailers that offer this machine. Compare prices on Amazon with those of ordering directly from Breville. Amazon usually have the cheapest price. I have ordered products from Amazon in the U.S, the U.K. and Japan and the standard of service has been the same, for me, in all three countries. I ordered my Breville BJE200XL from Amazon in Japan.
