Breville Juice Fountain Max / Plus Questions & Answers

I’m not sure I selected mine based on the product my daughter showed me. It’s unfortunate that we can’t see these products in action in the store. I’m happy with my choice however, be prepared the quantity of fruit used is enormous. The only problem I have become aware of is the fruit goes through the juicer too fast. If the process was slower more juice would be collected. I thought of turning the pulp into healthy ice blocks. Good luck with your purchase hope I have been of assistance to you.

Yes :)

I'm not versed in all of the different masticating, cold press terms.

The juice is extracted through spinning blades - and because of the spinning it does heat the fruit just a little bit.

The juice comes out room temperature, though I don't think many vitamins are lost with that heat.

It's just an easy, simple, basic juicer. Nothing fancy or special.

Technically, no, as I understand cold press juicers dont use a fast spinning basket to extract the juice.

I'm sorry I don't understand the question?

Yes it is

Read the packet. Read the instructions. Look at what you can poke in and what they put out. Then make up your own mind.

Hi,
These models are quite similar.
The bje410 comes with a large protected from juice outbreak jug and two rotational speeds where the je95 does not. The bje410 comes with brushed chrome housing. The je95 comes with plastic housing. Both have safety lock mechanism that prevents unsafe operation, the same juicing disc filter and a large feed chute for whole fruit extortion. Both have comes with 1 year replacement with 5 year motor warranty. The bje410 looks more fancy. both assigned in Australia but but made in China ): ..
I hope that this will help you..
Best regards,
Yogev.

Thank you very much yogev

Don't buy max or fountain plus. Just go with briville fountain. Because it's small and easy to clean as well its cheaper. Good for regular use

thank for your value ideas, Riya

Don't really know the answer to that. Ring Breville. I have found them good over the phone. They should tell you. Best of luck.

Hi. This has not happened to ours. I suppose you could get another one but under the Australian consumer law the product needs to be fit for purpose irrespective of company warranty and this is obviously not. I don't ever remember reading in their literature that it couldn't be placed in a dishwasher? You would expect that an integral part like this would last for a number of years. I Think you should contact Breville and let them know and request a new part if not under their warranty under the Australian Consumer Law.

Part 4 covers it I think.

Sorry but I just assumed you were in Australia, but I now see you may not be as you mention the BJE400. Anyway, haven't had the problem but contact Breville direct (they are an Aussie company I think or NZ) and I am sure they will see you right. Let us know.

Hi, thanks for your info. I am in Australia, bought our juicer from Good Guys in Joondalup, WA.

Hi, sorry but I don't know as I have never tried those two. But it does juice parsley and celery leaves. Hope this helps.

My friend has the same machine and did kale and spinach in hers, and said that it got clogged and didn't quite work the same afterwards. You are supposed to soak the parts in hot water for ten minutes after each use but not sure if she did this! It may just need a really good soak and clean. From memory the instructions said that you could do it, so she probably wasn't thorough enough with her clean. The moving parts are fairly large and come with a special brush to clean them with which gets in the nooks and crankys very well.

I like the juice so take the lid off to pour but the lid stops most of the froth if you don't like it. My juicer is absolutely wonderful and I wouldn't be without it now. Hope you like yours just as much.

Thank you for your reply, i have ordered a jug through customer service, just another question if you don't mind- to juice vegetables such as apples, carrots & beetroots do I need to peel them first?

I would except mine is a BJE520. Don't know if they are the same. Breville has said above you can get them from their website.

Hi,
I haven't tried Mango or Kiwifruit. Watermelon works fine though.

Ocky

You can juice anything with this juicer but you'll need to use the lower speed for fruits like kiwi and mango and you won't get the same extraction as you would with a cold press juicer (which are good but significantly more expensive for a decent one). I use mine mostly for green juices.

I havent tried mango but I have made kiwi juice a few times using the lower speed .... I am sure mango would work as well.

I can't really answer this question. I have not heard of the BJE400 so guess it is an outdated model.
I have the BJE410 model which in my model, has a chrome casing for the part containing the all important motor. Personally, I don't see the problem with what material the motor is cased in? The motor casing does not come into contact with the material being juiced and does not need to be washed after juicing, due to this non contact.

Ok thanks, that makes sense, so is the new housing on the bje410 made of metal or plastic?

Sorry, I do not know the answer to the question re: difference between 'plus' and 'maxi' models. What I do know is that this Breville juicer meets my needs for daily juicing and is easily, by the proverbial country mile, the best juicer I have ever bought (and I have used other makes in the past). It's secret, if there is one, is the very high speed of the motor (almost twice as fast as similar priced makes) and this gets virtually all the juice out - evidenced by the dry waste left in the waste bowl (it resembles fine, dry sawdust).

I have not had this problem. I last used the juicer yesterday and will use again in the next hour. Due to the speed of the motor, this is the most efficient juicer I have EVER owned. So good in fact, that you can tell by how little makes it into the waste collector, just how good a job it is doing. Without seeing your machine in action, this suggests you might have some fault (maybe)? Only practical thing I can think of is......make sure you have assembled it correctly after cleaning. i.e. it should make a audible 'click' when you line up the arrows and push gently into place. If this is not happening and it is not lined up, it possibly could be a reason for your problem? Other than that, I have no idea.

I don't agree about removing the pith from oranges. Plenty of vitamins, but definitely remove the peel. It would make orange juice too bitter
