Breville BCP600SIL Citrus Press Motorized Orange Juicer, Silver

It's time to start buying limes by the bushel!!!!! This machine has just officially saved me a lot of mess and heartache! It arrived yesterday and one thing I didn't expect was the size of it. I pulled it out of the box and didn't realize how large it was! It could easily handle grapefruit or any other large citrus. I took a few pictures of it side-by-side with my 5 qt. Kitchenaid Mixer to give a scale comparison. Assembly was almost self-explanatory, but the instructions were simple to follow. The whole machine including the “body” is only 5 total parts. The “Juice Collector”, “Juicing Cone” and “Pulp Filter” are all dishwasher safe. The “Fruit Dome” is inserted into the top of the machine by a magnet. It is hollow plastic and I wouldn’t advise putting it in the dishwasher. The one thing that I do like about Breville is that there is usually only one way to assemble its products. Components will physically not fit properly if it is not the correct way to assemble them together. I gave the machine a quick wipe with a rag and washed the 4 components. I was so giddy with excitement that I didn’t want to wait to try this baby out! I dug around the fridge to find anything that I could stab into this contraption. Luckily, there was a rogue lemon floating around the crisper drawer that I decided to sacrifice in the name of experimentation. I pulled a length of cord from its storage area under the body of the machine and plugged it in. There is an on/off switch on the back so that the handle can be pressed with positioning and set up. I sliced the lemon in half, set it on the juicing cone and pressed the lever down. I was really expecting it to be a loud noisy machine like the juicer my grandma had in my youth. I was pleasantly shocked at how quiet it was! A person could make fresh juice in the morning while everyone is still asleep! When nothing remained but the lemon rind, I flipped the spout up and grabbed all of the pieces with one hand to take to the sink. Nothing leaked and there wasn't projectile juice splattered all over the place like when I use my hand press. I decided I couldn’t wait to put this puppy to the test. I ran to Publix and bought the limes that I needed to make recipes for Cinco De Mayo. I usually need 7 or 8 limes to have enough juice for one recipe so I bought 18 of them. I was shocked by how much juice was extracted! I know it was 18 of them, but 2 3/4 cups of juice was an impressive amount compared to what I usually get with my hand press! I have never had "leftover" lime juice in the past when I used a handheld press. I am going to have to change my menu for the week to use up the rest! I am still surprised how quiet it is. I took a video for my sister. My nephew is special needs and can't handle the loud noises of appliances (vacuum, Kitchenaid mixer and etc.). I think this will be quiet enough that it won't affect him. In the video, I have my Bluetooth speaker sitting on the other side of the kitchen. You can still hear the BBC on in the background while the press is running. I now have hopes of being able to juice fruit for brunch or at parties and not interrupt the conversation! I was happy to see that a large array of containers could be placed under the machine and fit comfortably. I used a tall plastic 20 oz plastic cup for the lemon and a 4 cup silicone measuring cup for the limes. Both are quite tall and fit just fine. The other thing that impressed me was how all of the pulp was extracted. It was effortless and didn't make a mess at all. There wasn’t any pulp left in the fruit! The components caught all of the pulp and I was able to add it to my juice in the measuring cup. No more manual extraction and digging my fingers into the lime halves to get the most juice out of them! The only downside that I can see so far is that I wish the arm/handle of the machine had a locking switch to make storage a little easier. I am afraid that I will accidentally get the arm stuck on the underside of my cabinets and not realize it until I do some serious damage. When I first saw this press at Williams-Sonoma,, I couldn't believe that Breville was charging so much money for it. I remember thinking, "Why is that thing so expensive!? They are insane!" I am now eating my words with a side of Spanish Rice! This thing is worth every penny! I have acquired 3 Breville products (Milk Frother, Smart Toaster Oven and Citrus Press) over the past 6 months. They have performed perfectly. My only regret was that I waited so long try them! One Month Update: I have used this press 5-6 times since I got it. I was afraid that I wouldn't want to use it for "just a lemon or lime". But, the cleanup is so simple and extracting juice is so quick that I find myself using it more than I would a handheld press! Still very much in love with this thing!

I was a little hesitant to buy this because some reviews said it was not well made. I would have to say those reviewers are being dishonest for some reason. I bought the cheaper plastic version and it is very well made. Here are the things this machine excels at: 1. It's very quick. It will juice two orange halves (a whole orange) in about 5-7 seconds. 2. Because the center of the juicer is powered and rotates, it takes very little effort to operate. 3. This machine provides maximum extraction. It takes just three oranges to get approximately 16 ounces of juice. 4. The machine is very easy to clean. All of the pieces are easy to remove and you just rinse them under the faucet. It takes a little more than a minute to clean the machine - it's amazingly well designed. 5. The machine has a very strong motor - contrary to the negative reviews I read. 6. The machine eliminates excess pulp through the strainer. I had considered buying a $550.00 automatic whole orange juicer before I bought this. I am so glad I did not waste money on the overly complex machine, This one is just as fast and it is much easier to clean. My only regret is that I did not buy the stainless steel version.

I bought this on a friend’s recommendation and I’m so happy I did. There’s no fruit peeling necessary. Cut the lemon or orange or whatever you chose in half, put it on the juicer and pull down the handle. Fresh squeezed juice in no time. Clean up is just as easy. I love the convenience of this juicer!!

Love it!!!

I love this juicer. I would give it 20 stars or more if I could. Its perfect in every way and worth the money. Its very fast, easy to clean, made very well, durable. Very powerful and easy to operate. It extracts every ounce of juice thats possible out of my grapefruits and oranges. Its also already saved me a lot of time and money. Not too heavy so you can move it as much as you need to.

Absolutely love this juice press! There are only 4 parts that are easily put in place and come apart for cleaning. You simply cut the orange in half and press down with the handle. It is easy to do and no strength needed because it is motorized. One orange typically makes a 4oz glass (of course depending on the size of the orange). The machine is sturdy, made well, and won't function if the parts are aligned wrong, which is great! It also will only spin and juice when the handle is pulled down, so it doesn't start spinning as you place your orange on the juicer which is also great. If making several glasses, rinse out after the second glass or the pulp builds up. I'll also add that I first tried the Breville juicer with the centrifical force motor. You had to peel the fruit and It made really frothy juice, not enjoyable at all, and the machine was huge with many parts to wash. This juice press is smaller, easy to use, and makes fantastic fresh squeezed orange juice! Highly recommend!

This citrus juicer is absolutely great. I was hesitant at first due to reviews with concerns regarding the parts breaking or cracking. We have not experienced any of these issues. We have had no issues at all. I also like to write reviews after we have used a product for a while just to see if it holds up. This is a great unit in making a fresh glass of orange juice. We don't have a lot of counter space, so it's small enough to be tucked away on our counter, and then easy to access when we need to use it. We are definitely not disappointment!

The strong motor in the thing is excellent for fast juicing. I've had a few citrus juicers in my time. My sister stole my mother's from me so I've had to buy my own over time. Most juicers can't handle the hard pressing of harder fruit. You know, those oranges that are a bit hard inside and less juicy. This one presses them right down and squeezes every bit of juice out without a problem - and fast too. The strainers and the juicing head are plastic and may be delicate for some folks, thinking people that may not take care of their things. The parts are dishwasher safe and clean-up is a breeze. I've squeezed oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and limes - all very easily.

Excelente compra. Llegó muy bien empacado y el funcionamiento ha cumplido mi expectativa. Muy fácil de usar, fácil de lavar. Exprime los cítricos a la perfección. Altamente recomendable

love this product - easy to use - juices well - easy to clean - am so enjoying fresh grapefruit & orange juice, knowing that it is straight juice with no additives

Firstly, I’ve never written a negative review who do illustrates how bad the product is and how dishonest the seller is. This is a U.S. product that they’ve tried to sell with a converter/ adapter. When you look at the product voltage, it’s not mean to be used with European power. Notwithstanding, we tried it with the converter / adapter and it works for half an orange. Effectively the product just doesn’t work. Now I know why it took 3 weeks to get despite the predicted initial delivery date of 4 days. It’s because they simply brought it back from North America. Seller should be banned from Amazon for this practice.

Wow amazing product! I returned it because I realise it take a bit place for low use I do about it. But wow amazing product. Quality as good as the steinless one much more expensive. Great product, amazing quality. I return mine for also a second reason there was a bulb in the finish of the plastic paint and I m a picky person, I want perfection. But I will reorder down the road when I move because this product is awsome. Top is magnetic, easy to remove and clean. Nothing vise just put. I would recommend.

Que si le saca todo el jugo a lo que le pongas!
