I have been curious how juicer works and been looking for the perfect juicer for our family. Juicing has a lot of advantages and I prefer to serve fresh juices to my kids than any other drinks. Finally got the chance to try a juicer because Breville® sent me Juice Fountain Max  for review!

First time juicer user here! Please watch our unboxing video and short review:

Reason #1. The design and color of the product is elegant. I love any

Reason #2. Breville® Juice Fountain Max is easy to assemble. In fact, you don’t even have to “assemble” it. When you take it out of the box, the product is as is. Just remove the plastic coverings, wash the parts and put it back together.

Reason #3. It is easy to use because of the extra wide chute opening. Putting a whole apple or orange is OK! You don’t need to cut the fruits, saving you a lot of time juicing. Instant juice agad agad.

The lock keeps it in place so you don’t have to worry about spills when you try and press the fruits inside the chute.

There are only two controls, so hindi ka malilito. Included in the manual which control to use for each fruits. If the fruit is hard (like apples), use high and if it is soft like oranges, use low. I do not recommend using the juicer with fruits like mangoes or avocado.

And also, the trash bin is really big, so you can juice and juice and juice without worrying about the “trash”.

Reason #4. It produces more juices and tastier too! It works best with fruits that are hard like apples or fruits like oranges. The Patented blades retain 70% more
nutrients which makes it the perfect juicer for us, lalo na when we need to boost our immune system.

We love juicing apple and happy with the amount of apple juice we got. And the taste is really good!

Reason #5. Breville® Juice Fountain Max is very easy to clean.

It includes a brush to clean this part. This is the only part that needs thorough cleaning. The rest of the parts are wash and go.

BONUS: This is the same model of juicer used by Joe Cross from the film — Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. And the juice recipe is included sa box. I am going to try it soon! The 3 day juice detox is very interesting and not mention promising. I am just waiting to finish my check up para alam ko status ng health ko before trying it out and also para I have a comparison. Definitely gonna post that!

You can buy Breville® Juice Fountain Max’s on most leading appliances store and you can also shop at Breville® Philippines Facebook Page. They have discounts and promos posted on the page, you have to check that out.
