Reddit reviews Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor,Brushed Stainless

Your list is good, however there's a few things you're likely to run into.

-------------

TL;DR: of what’s ahead

You only have so much willpower to expend in any given day, you probably can't pursue everything at once. To maximize your goal fulfillment, remember the following:

1. Cut unnecessary drains out of your life.
   
2. Figure out which goals are most important. You don’t have to pursue them all at once
   
3. Figure out which goals (once reached) will make the others easier.
   
4. Look for smart investments that will make your goals easier to fulfill (ie cost less willpower)
   
   ----------
   
   In a nutshell, humans have a finite amount of willpower that we can expend in one day. There are only so many conscious decisions that you can make in one 24-hour period, only so many things you can force yourself to do.
   
   And that’s fine, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. We’re all human, that’s how we are.
   
   Think of as being like money, where you only have a finite supply at any given time. If you suddenly start expending more on one part of your life, one of two things will happen:
   
   
5. You'll eventually peter out. You're spending extra willpower (or money) that you don't really have, and you can only do that for so long before you go back to doing what you were before. OR
   
6. You'll keep at it, but you'll find yourself dropping the ball elsewhere...you have enough willpower (or money) to go after your new pursuits, but not enough to also keep at it with your old ones.
   
   So you might take on new fitness goals but find yourself dropping the ball on your diet goals, similar to how you might start making payments on a car only to find yourself unable to pay the electric bill. Make sense?
   
   That's the bad news. The good news is, there's a few strategies that you can use to stretch your willpower a lot further, adapted from the financial advice world.
   
   ------------
   
   1. "If you're in a hole, stop digging."
   
   In other words, be prepared to make significant lifestyle changes.
   
   For example, suppose you're using all your willpower just to get through the day without punching your boss in the face. Guess what, you need a different job ASAP...as long as you stay there, you will be so sapped of willpower/energy that you'll never accomplish your other goals.
   
   Make sense? Look for the unnecessary willpower drains that you can cut out of your life. Your friends, your church, your job, your girlfriend. All are fair game, if they're only sapping your strength.
   
   -------------
   2. Some goals are more important right now than others. There is nothing wrong with choosing to focus on a few and letting the others go for now.
   
   Financial example: I have credit card debt at 20% APR, and student loan debt at 8% APR. Do I try to pursue both equally, at the same time?
   
   Answer: no. Obviously I heavily pursue the credit card debt first, and worry about the student debt later.
   
   Similarly, I might decide to only worry about diet and sleep for now, and take on my porn addiction and lack of fitness later.
   
   And remember: once you've established a good habit, the amount of willpower you spend on it will be significantly less than what you spend on it right now.
   
   For example, right now you might be spending all your willpower on eating correctly. But a year from now, it will come naturally to you...at that point, eating correctly will be so easy that it doesn’t cost you any willpower whatsoever.
   
   Then you’re free to start pursuing your fitness goals...now you easily have enough willpower to pursue both diet and exercise, because you didn’t try to do them all at once.
   
   --------
   
   3. In addition to #2, some goals (once they’ve become second nature) will actually make it easier (ie cost less willpower) to accomplish other goals. I call them “enabling goals.”
   
   Sleep is the best example…if you are able to get the appropriate amount of sleep every night, suddenly your other goals all become easier and cost less willpower because you’re not so damn tired all the time.
   
   So if you can’t do all your goals at once, focus on sleep (or other enabling goals) first. You get those down, the others will follow.
   
   Make sense?
   
   ------------
   
   4. A smart investment up front will save money (or willpower) down the road
   
   Financial example: you ditch the junker and spend extra money on a car that is highly reliable and gets good gas mileage, saving you mechanic’s bills and gas money down the road.
   
   Personal goals examples:
   
   
7. I have a lot of nutritional supplements that I take every morning and evening. At first, I was unscrewing every bottle, every morning and evening. I was a dumbass who wasn't putting any thought into it, and surprise surprise, I was failing. I just wouldn't get around to it.
   
   Eventually, I bought four of these weekly pill organizers on Amazon. Now, I just go and fill them up once a month (not difficult), and pop one slot open and take the supplements every morning and evening (also not difficult).
   
   
8. I used to try to eat greens...but by the time I was done, I looked like a cow chewing its cud and my jaw was literally tired. And again, I was failing at it.
   
   Until I went and bought a used juicer...now, I juice once a week, and getting my vegetable intake is as easy as drinking it.
   
   
9. One of the supplements I take in the evening (per #3) is a small amount of melatonin...this in turn makes getting adequate sleep much easier, which makes all my other goals a lot easier.
   
   You get the idea? A smart investment can mean a far smaller willpower expenditure in pursuit of your goal. Figure out what’s holding you up, and if there’s something worth investing in to make it easier.
   
   Easier = less willpower expended = greater chance of success & more willpower for your other goals.
   
   ---------
   
   Now go start fulfilling your goals, TL;DR is at the top. Questions?

Don't make juice for more than 24 hours in advance, it will go bad because it loses nutrients. Why is this?

**Once you blend or juice your produce it start to lose its nutrients pretty fast due to oxidation. Juice citrus with whatever you juicing to preserve it. Store it in a mason jar and fill it all the way to the top if your going to drink it later.*

Make sure that you have at least 2 speeds for your juicer. Some fruits will get blended to all hell and you won't get the juice you need. Is this true?

I can't really comment on a blender because I have a shitty one. I would recommend if you have to money to get a Vitamix, I heard great things about it.

Hand wash your juicer. But how often?
I hand wash it every time I juice, I don't know if I can put it in the dishwasher though. Its super easy and doesn't take that long to rinse it out and wash it in the sink. I would probably let it soak in the sink with a little bit of bleach if your using it every day probably once every three months.

A blender might be best for fruits. Is this true?

I don't really think so, your going to be getting a lot of fiber with blending though

Also, what kind of a juicer should I get? I was thinking it would be best to try a cheap one from a place like Target first. If I enjoy juicing, then I'll invest into a better one.

If your going to go cheap get this one

If you have the money get this one

The Breville's are high speed blenders and will create a lot of foam, but it will juice produce really fast. It also wont get most of the juice out of leafy greens.

The Omega is a slow juicer. You're going to have to spend some time cutting your produce in smaller pieces.

Can you guys help me out? I've been searching this subreddit for awhile. Also, this is my first post. So, sorry for the formatting and possible grammer/spelling issues.
I would also recommend to strain your juice when your done, it makes a world of a difference. Also check out https://www.youtube.com/user/FullyRawKristina for ideas to add more produce in your life.**

We love our Breville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-watt juice extractor ($299 on Amazon). We've used it 3-4 times per week for the last 3 years and have never had a problem with it. Cleanup is super easy.

Mine is from Amazon. It's not cheap, but will last through years of daily juicing.

My first juicer:

Breville 800JEXLhttps://www.amazon.com/Breville-800JEXL-Fountain-1000-Watt-Extractor/dp/B0002VAFVG

But the high speed really oxidizes the juice and doesn't extract as much. Great if you want to juice 100 apples or 20 heads of celery quickly. But for quality, it leaves a lot to be desired.

My second juicer:

Omega J8006https://www.amazon.com/Omega-J8006-Dual-Stage-Masticating-Revolutions/dp/B001L7OIVI/

Worked well for me for a number of years, but didn't handle some greens very well. After following Lou Corona and making his lemon ginger blast every day, I upgraded one more time.

My *last* juicer:

Tribest GSE-5050 "Green Star Elite"https://www.amazon.com/Green-CHROME-COLORED-Masticating-Juicer-GSE-5050/dp/B075TFHVPH/

I find it makes the best juice, especially for greens (parsley, cilantro, kale, spinach, chard, etc). It's not great if you're only trying to juice, say, apples or oranges. For citrus, I used a $70 citrus press. For apples, I will use the Green Star but the apples should be pretty crisp and I may help move things along with a stalk of celery.

Yeah, it's pricey, but if you're serious about your juice and will make it a life-long habit, then it will be a good investment.

Lou Corona's Lemon Ginger Blast

• 1 lemon
  
• 1-3" ginger
  
• 1-3" turmeric
  
• 1/2 to 1 habanero (or omit and sprinkle in a quality cayenne powder to the final drink)
  
• 1 apple (use green (granny smith) if you're fighting candida)
  
• 1 cucumber
  
• 1 head celery
  
• 1 bunch parsley (helps clean the blood)
  
• 1 bunch cilantro (helps remove heavy metals)
  
• 1 bunch mint (essential oils, good for digestion)
  
• WATER: cut final mixture with 1/3 water; helps the body absorb the rest
  
  The original lemon ginger blast can be made in a blender if that's all you have:
  
  
• 1 lemon
  
• 1 to 3" ginger
  
• 1 habanero (or omit and add quality cayenne powder to the final drink)
  
• about 3 cups quality water
  
  .. then blend all ingredients in a Vitamix, strain and drink.
