| I never imagined myself drinking a big bunch of kale, or spinach, or a combination of all 5 servings of fruits and vegetables in one go! But I did and I'm going to keep on doing it for better health. This inexpensive but very powerful contraption has changed my diet for the better. And it didn't even cost me a lot of money! And the clean up is real simple and easy, not a lot of pieces to disassemble and wash and reassemble. Otherwise, I would not be raving about it this much! |

I wasn't really impressed with this juicer, because it takes a whole bag of carrots just to get one glass to drink. I did made carrot bread out of the pulp that was in the reservoir, and it was delicious! More like carrot cake without the icing, and it was very good for breakfast, dessert, or just a snack, with very little sugar added.
So I was more impressed with the pulp possibilities than the juicer, lol! |

| Very pleased- Fast and easy to clean. Great tip in putting empty grocery bag in waste bin as essentially all you have to do is toss it. Well worth the money. |

| I used the juicer on carrots. It was my main reason for getting it. There was a lot of juice in the pulp enough so that I could squeeze it out and there was also a lot of pulp in the juice. I ended up returning it cause I was too disappointed in it. |

| it turns veggies into juice. there is lots of pulp left over. for best results you should clean it after every other carrot or so, to get more juice. |

| This is the best juicer available for the money and I love it! It's easy for anyone to use and clean-up takes only about 5 minutes, once you know what you're doing. |

 "Ok Juicer, could have been more pulp efficient" | 2008-09-08 |

| I had an older & cheaper juicer we bought from walmart, the waste was way drier than from this one. Overall it's very powerfull and ok machine, but not efficient. The pulp is pretty juicy in the waste. |

| This juicer does a very good job and is a good value for the money. I'm pleased with how well it extracts juice from "dry" vegetables like carrots and beets. However, the pulp from softer fruits, like tomatoes, is moister than what I'd like to see, indicating that not all the juice has been extracted from these. Overall, I'm satisfied and would recommend this juicer to others. |

| "Big Mouth Chrome vs. Breville Compact Juice Fountain" | 2008-09-02 |
| - Reviewed By stardreamers |
I just recently purchased two juicers: the Bigmouth Chrome and the Breville Compact Juice Fountain. As they are both in the same price/performance category, I thought I'd briefly compare the two for those interested in the differences-as I see it. For the record, both of these juicers are my first go at juicing and was recommended to us by our Nutritionist.
First, both are winners and perform flawlessly the task of extracting juice from a wide variety of vegetables and fruits. Both have strong motors that easily do the job at hand. Both are easy to use and clean. Both are well designed and are easily taken apart and put back together.
In all honesty, the Breville Compact Juice Fountain which costs about 40 dollars more than this Bigmouth Chrome does have a few benefits which make it worth the extra cost if price is not an object. The Breville motor seems to be a touch more powerful and a touch quieter. The Breville's juice container comes with a froth reducer (I, personally, don't mind the froth). The Breville doesn't drip juice from the spout while emptying the juicing container (just a minor annoyance). The Breville can chew up whole carrots without causing the machine to slightly "jump." The Breville has a larger juice container and doesn't fill up nearly as fast. This is not really a big deal as the juice can be transferred to a different container. The Bigmouth does have a larger pulp container that seems like a bottemless pit while the Breville's fills up faster...so it's a draw really. The Breville is easier to clean due to its clean design and lack of grooves and indentations (except, oddly, the stainless steel screen which is finer in the Bigmouth and makes a slightly smoother drink).
All in all, both are amazing bargains for the price each cost. Owning both, I don't think that I would regret having only one or the other. I use the Bigmouth and my wife uses the Breville (it is just that much easier to ensemble for use). While, in my opinion, the Breville's slightly higher cost can be justified by the slight benefits it offers, the Bigmouth Chrome is an awesome machine that cranks out delicious juices no matter what I shove down its throat :-)
I love mine!
Hope that helps,
Michael |

I was a little concerned about the noise level of the juicer. My stepson has one that sounds like a jet taking off! This one is a little quieter than my Oster blender. Not bad.
The motor unit is nice and heavy. It feels very sturdy. The rubber feet keep it from migrating across the counter top. However, that also means you have to pick it up to move it, and the pulp hopper and the juice glass are not connected so...since I keep it pushed out of my way on the counter until I need it, moving it around takes a little doing. That's a tiny issue, but I thought I'd mention it.
Assembly was very simple. I rarely read directions - and didn't need to this time, either. I think I'm going to wish the juice container was a little bigger. The one that comes with it only holds about 8 oz.
Clean-up is quick and easy. The only little problem I've had is with tiny blueberry seeds getting stuck in the blade. They are so small that even the scrub-brush that's included doesn't get them out easily, although they finally came loose. I agree with an earlier poster that it would be nice to have a brush to clean out the juice spout (which is only about 1/2 wide).
We have mainly juiced fruit so far, but also have juiced carrots. It takes very little effort to push the material through the system. Our 7-year old neighbor girl wanted to make her own juice, and she had no problem pushing through either the apples or the carrots. What a great introduction to healthy juices! She (and a couple of her friends)liked it so much they wanted MORE. I had to tell them to start bringing their own food to make juice (or I'll be going broke), and I'll be happy to let them use the machine.
As a novice juicer, I'm very impressed with this machine! |
