Too much waste
The Breville makes beautiful juice, but there is more than 50% waste by weight. I wish I had researched more. I now have a Breville for sale for someone who wishes only juice and no fiber. For this the product is lovely. I ended up purchasing another product where there is NO waste, with all the fruit/vegetables being processed. I am much happier with that, and figure that the savings in fruits and vegetables with pay for both the units in one year.

This is One Incredible Machine
I purchased this juicer based on some very positive reviews on Amazon. My expectations were high, but this product greatly exceeded them.
I have purchased many products on Amazon over the years, but this is the first time I have ever been motivated to write a review. Of course, it is difficult to describe in words how incredible this machine truly is, and other reviews have provided details so I will not repeat them here - no need for redundancy.
I decided to get a juicer because I liked the idea of being able to create something really healthy to consume in this day and age of processed foods. I'm not a health food nut - I probably eat way too many processed foods. Without going overboard, I wanted to get a quality machine that would do the job, be fun to use, and be easy to maintain. This juicer was clearly one of the most expensive ones out there, but based on the other reviews, I thought I would take a chance.
This machine is incredibly fast. It perfectly separates the juice from the pulp. The only problem is that it is so much fun to use, it's over too soon. This is a machine that is a joy to use, and the quality of the juice product is difficult to describe.
Think of what a Cuisanart does to vegetables, etc., and ratchet up the quality of the result by several orders of magnitude. You're drinking amazingly fresh juice in a matter of seconds, not minutes. It gives new meaning to the word "fresh." And it's simple to clean.
In summary, probably one of the best products of any kind I have ever purchased.

Beware of 6 month deferred payment options!
The juicer itself is a great investment. Nothing bad to say about it. But Amazon has lost a big spending customer today! I purchased this juicer under the assumption it was being offered under a 6 month deferred payment if you use your Amazon.com card. Apparently I was wrong! Correction, it had to be an Amazon store card. I never new there was a difference and it wasn't as nicely explained on the site as it was to me over the phone when I called Amazon. Now instead of paying this off for the next 6 months, I have to go over my budget and pay it in full NOW! Amazon refuses to take any responsibilty for its lacking info in the offer, at the least! They have lost a loyal customer. Never will I buy from them again! The juicer gets 5 stars! Amazon gets 0!
