The Bottom Line: This is the best juicer that normal person can buy that can give professional juicing experience.
Undoubtedly the best juicer ever...Real stainless steel pro. I just can't describe the feeling this machine gives you. I saw it sitting next to product from Philips, Kenwood, Braun and all those brands...who wants to be in race but are behind by 2-5 laps.
When I saw first the plastic body design of Breville 900, I didnt care to look more closely..it was just like one of those juicers who had no eye catching point. After few weeks i saw Breville 800 in stainless steel body and it was so eye catching that i was curious of knowing more about its features. The sales lady showed how whole apples are juiced in matter of minutes...and 1000 watts motor making 13,000 rpm...wow! But still for me it was stainless steel body design that made all the difference. I also figured that 900 model was very similar in design but in plastics and less powerful...but for me 800 stainless steel model was THE ONE!
I took it home and started it and it was like engine sound of aircraft...real powerful. In the 1st second of its start the top vibrates little to settle with 13000 rpm motor...and the product instruction book said that i should run the motor and then put things down the feeding chute,...it is bit strange...i had 2 apples in my hand and i started machine on high mode and put one apple inside and before i start pushing it with supplied feeder, the apple already vanished...same thing happened with the second one....except carrot...everything was juiced so fast that i had no chance to push it with feeder...
just for fun i added one tomato in the juice combo and it was really great watching it disappearing in the feeding chute...just 1 second and it's all gone....
I currently live in Zurich, Switzerland but will shift back to India where neithe the product is available nor there is the service station...So, I called up the firm and they adviced me to buy one extra mesh filter system that is subjected to normal wear and tear....so i hope that supplied mesh filter lasts as long as possible so.
Anyone thinking to buy juicer...dont buy anything else than Breville 800 JEXL or Solis Juice Fountain Pro...both are same item with different brand stamp on front.
Happy Juicing!
