This review is from: Remanufactured Breville XXBJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor (Kitchen) What can I say, after reading multiple reviews of just about every juicer that Amazon sells; well 275$ was as high as I would go so I stopped looking after I hit that price. Almost every negative review on other manufacturers models always said something to the effect, I should have bought a Breville.
I'm not big on buying refurbished/remanufactured items, but the re-manufactured BJE510XL IKon I could not pass up. I would have spent the money on a new one, but the refurbished priced at 101$ when I bought it was too good to pass up. The unit arrived in like new condition; the bulk of the unit is solid metal and not a scratch on it - in fact anything metal was flawless. The plastic "lid" that seals while juicing has a few minor marks on it, but only if you look at in the right light and at an angle -- my guess, the plastic had one or two runs through a dishwasher.

This review is from: Remanufactured Breville XXBJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor (Kitchen) My son requested a juicer for a birthday gift. He did the research and came up with this Breville model. I liked the price but was hesitant to purchase a remanufactured one. After reading other reviews, I decided to go ahead with his choice - good move! Noise seemed to be an issue with other models as well as actual juice extraction. Neither is an issue here! It's quiet and the pulp is relatively dry. You would never know that it was not brand new. Good choice my son, good choice! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Remanufactured Breville XXBJE510XL Ikon 900-Watt Variable-Speed Juice Extractor (Kitchen) Purchased the factory reconditioned version, it came in what looks like a generic packaging but still with all the accessories and documentation. I feel the unit has a good construction quality and will last a long time. Not sure if 5 speed is totally necessary since I'm not noticing a big difference in the amount of juice I get when adjusting the speed up or down by a couple settings from the recommendation. A cheaper two speed model would probably do just as good a job. I like the well thought out small features such as the power plug with a hole in the middle for easier handling, and the machine locks its motor when the locking arm is not engaged. I would have preferred the use of metal instead of plastic for the bottom removable piece that collects the juice. The top piece with the feeding tube being transparent is helpful for checking if the machine is clogged, but using plastic for bottom piece made it hard to clean. Mine has this haze built up and I'm...Read more |
