Breville have quite a few centrifugal juicers in their product line up. One of the newest models is the BJE510XL. When we compare this model to the rest, it looks like a really attractive purchase. First of all I want to talk about the features of this juicer, then compare the Breville BJE510XL vs BJE200XL and finally move on to compare it with more expensive models such as the 800JEXL. You can take a closer look at the BJE510XL Breville juicer on Amazon.
What I like about the BJE510XL is that it is quite reasonably priced. It costs about $200 if you buy it from the online retailer, Amazon. Of course if you buy it from a store then the price you pay will likely be more than this. So to begin with, it is not a crazy price. Then the way it works is really impressive. Centrifugal juicers have a filter basket that spins inside the machine. The BJE200XL is a one speed device. It spins at 13,000 RPM regardless of the produce that you put into it.
However the BJE510XL on the other hand is a variable speed juicer. You can actually select the speed yourself. There are 5 different speed settings that you can choose from. This is handy if you want to have more control over how you juice. For example, the hardness/softness of the fruit and vegetables that you use will determine what speed setting you want to select.
BJE510XL vs 800JEXL
The 800JEXL costs more than the BJE510XL but in fact only has two speed settings. That said the 800JEXL’s body is made entirely of stainless steel. The BJE500XL has some metal and some plastic parts. So if looks are important to you then the more expensive machine may be a better purchase. In fact, you can get factory reconditioned Breville 800JEXLs for the same price as a new BJE510XL. Both are good juicers.
When it comes to a Breville BJE510XL vs Breville 800JEXL comparison there are some other things to bear in mind other than just the stainless steel body in the 800JEXL. The Breville 800 also has 115 cutting knives that are titanium plated stainless steel. The Breville 510 as well as the 800 will both filter enough juice for an 8 ounce glass in about 5 seconds and both contain wire mesh filters. In a 800JEXL vs BJE510XL comparison, you’ll pay about 50% more or around $300 on Amazon for the Breville 800 JEXL and the increase in price in for the details. Such as the stainless steel body and the higher quality cutting teeth.
So if you were to put a gun to my head and say “which juicer Breville BJE510XL or 800JEXL?”, then this is the 411 version of the answer I’d give. I’d say if you are a hard core juicer then go with the 800JEXL from Breville as it’s worth it for a power user. If you’re not really a raw foodist and you enjoy your juicer once a day to once a week or so, then I believe the Breville BJE510XL variable speed juicer should be more than adequate.
