Breville Citrus Press Pro 800CP

I thought it died then it came back to life – The kids were juicing about 10 oranges and i was telling my friend how much i liked the juicer and what a great solid design it is. Then in that moment it just stopped with a bad electric motor smell. Dissappointing after about 15 months of use. However, seemed it just needed a rest and it started working again when i checked 20 mins later. So… Read more

seems to be a protective mechanism. Annoying how the bit that fits over the fruit has such a flimsy attachment and often falls off.

Morning ritual – I have been using the stainless steel version for over two years to make two glasses of fresh orange juice every morning. A brilliant functional design, works faultlessly and it still looks like new! Easy to clean - immediately after use I just rinse/brush the units clean under cold water then pour hot water from the kettle (after making cup of… Read more

tea) over the unit to help it dry (with paper towel) and then reassemble the unit. Fresh pressed orange juice is so much nicer, and cheaper, than the bottled variety. Buy oranges by the bag, enjoy the seasons, navel / valencia, from around Australia. Fresh is definitely best.

Another Breville Heap of Crap! – If you want to juice more than six oranges, don't buy this over priced rubbish. Cone falls off repeatedly, and the machine shuts down before it juices one lousy bucket full of fruit! Show details

Excellent-No problems – I have had this juicer for many years. It is easy to clean. It is very quick and very easy to use. I use this regularly and have had no problems with it. The only con , is that it's a little heavy to lift in and out of the cupboard and place on the bench top. During the citrus season and during spring summer, I use this so much , it just stays on… Read more

my bench top, as it is fairly compact. I am recommending this , especially for people with families, we easily juice a bag of oranges in minutes. The pith and the seeds are automatically strained out , so the juice is delicious. I can't quite remember when I bought it but it has had a lot of use and I believe it is at least 5 years old.

Could do better – I have had this press for a week now and it is very good at doing what it's supposed to do. It seems simple and solid enough and clean up is quick and easy.It is also chunky enough to have it's own place on my kitchen counter top. Time will tell whether it will be a hand me down or end up under the sink with the Scotty dog biscuit tin. At $220… Read more

it's not cheap so I expected near perfection which sadly I don't have.

There is a cone on the handle for holding the fruit while pressing which constantly disengages itself and randomly drops of. Could the guys at Breville not figure out how to design that piece and left it to the 2nd year apprentice to work something out.Pretty poor finish to a otherwise decent machine.Then again if it said on the box there is a design fault with this product it may have affected sales

Anyway enough whinging. Bare in mind if you buy the press and can live with the cone problem this press can really only press hard skinned fruit such as oranges, grapefruit, pomegranates lemons and tangerines

Don't buy one if you don't have one and let me know in 5 years how it's lasted if you have one

Magnetic cone fails after 6 months. Breville says it is not covered by 2 year warranty – The magnetic cone that holds the fruit in place keeps falling off. I bought this in December 2017 for my mother who has a shoulder problem. So I contacted Breville, who offered to sell me one for $27.57 plus $10 postage.$37.57 each 6 months? No, I don't think so, Breville. This is the second appliance from Breville that has not been fit for… Read more

purpose.. I dont think I will be buying another one. Customer service is also non-existent, with it being made obvious that they just dont care. Maybe they bought that jacket too...

Excellent product, saves time, & easy to clean! – Because our family prefers the full flavor of fresh orange juice, I decided to purchase the Breville Citrus Press Pro after reading favourable reviews on www.productreview.com. I have used this product almost on a weekly basis to juice two bags of oranges for approximately 12 months and there is nothing to complain about. At first the… Read more

appliance did overheat and switch off, but this issue was resolved after I read the user manual. I realised that I had been juicing the fruit halves for too long and this resulted in the motor switching off to protect from overheating and burnout. The manual does state that "The 800 Class Citrus Press juices very quickly so each fruit half will be juiced in a few seconds". So I simply followed the directions, reduced the juicing time to a few seconds and the problem was solved. I have since, not had the appliance stop working and I can even juice two bags of oranges in one session, and do so quickly.

Cleaning is a breeze. After each use, the parts are very easy to remove and clean with soapy water.

Verdict: This product works exactly as advertised. The Citrus Press saves me time, is easy to clean and delivers fresh orange, grapefruit, lime and lemon juice that we can drink straight away or use to blend with watermelon and other fruits for a delicious juice.

Thank you Breville!

Brilliant - works very well – This citrus press works simply perfectly for us. In addition it is durable and very easy to clean. In my eyes the citrus press is worth every single cent if you have to process a lot of citrus fruit. The time saving compared to manual processing is staggering. As a result, no more body aches!  Show details

Love This Product – Really happy with the juice I get from this product. So easy to clean! It is used every Sunday. Usually 2 largish oranges gets us a small glass for one. I juice 10 oranges with ease for the family, Have not had any issues with this product so far. Based on some of the reviews I hope it stays that way as I am loving my juicer!!!  Show details

Overheats and crappy customer service – Machine over heats after 10 to 15 fruits being juiced. Called their customer service and a very rude man told me that this is normal. Breville, do not hire people who hate helping customers, its not that hard. I rarely write reviews about any product but this time I had to.  Show details

Not great – Have had this for a couple of years and am generally happy with its performance EXCEPT that the cone has chipped and broken at the attaching spike and the coating on the body under the strainer and at the point where the cone attaches has chipped away and has left quite sharp and dangerous edges. I would not expect a product in this price range to… Read more ·  1

be in this condition after a couple of years. We only ever juice 2 oranges per day so not overused.

Super – I bought top of the range ( commercial ) model at DJ. Have been using it for more than 5 years. In summer time I am a juiceboy and this juicer is top: lives oranges and grapefruit skins dry. Fast squeeze , easy 1 min clean & WIPE. ( about 8-10 oranges to 1 liter)  Show 2 replies

Perfect Juicer – With 2 oranges you can have a glass of fresh juice in one minute. Takes all the orange pulp and makes a lot of juice. Very quiet to operate for early morning risers. Made of heavy duty steel, it is a must for any kitchen. Looks great on my kitchen bench too with my steel appliances. Love it!!!!  Show 2 replies

Bulky Useless Piece Of Junk – I purchased this thinking I could juice lemons (when in season) and freeze, however after juicing just 7 lemons, I could smell something & I thought it may just be "the new motor smell", squeezed another 3 lemons and it stopped working. It was hot to touch and it smelt. I unplugged it and decided to try it again after 15 minutes. It squeezed one… Read more

lemon & stopped again. I called Breville and the first thing she asked me was "How many lemons did you squeeze?" I told her, & at the same time, I was thinking, What does it matter?? It is a bulky, expensive juicer. It is SUPPOSED to be made for juicing large quantity of juice. Why would someone purchase a BULKY EXPENSIVE juicer to juice 10 oranges????

I was told that the machine was not made to juice more than 10 oranges at a time & the machine then has to rest for 4 hours!!. ARE YOU FOR REAL??? I have 5 in my family. You need at least 3 oranges for a glass of orange juice. Do I just tell half of my family that they can have their morning orange juice at lunch time or maybe dinner time?

I have a NO BRAND small juicer that is over 15 years old and I have used it to squeeze NOT one but TWO boxes of oranges/lemons at a time, no smell, no rest. Why on earth would someone purchase an EXPENSIVE & BULKY machine so they can juice 3 glasses of orange juice at a time?

I was told the machine was faulty because of the smell, however

I returned the machine for a refund, NOT an exchange

THINK TWICE before purchasing. What a waste of time & money.

Disappointing and not value for money – We had a Breville Citrus Press and were so happy with it that we bought another one when the first one stopped working after many years use; however, we are extremely disappointed with the replacement. It has corroded underneath the lift-off filter/juicer section and the handle constantly jams/sticks. We contacted Breville customer service, only… Read more

to be told that they had had no other reports of issues with this product - basically, they were totally disinterested and implied that it was our problem, not theirs! We expected a better quality product and better customer service; in our opinion, the Breville Citrus Press is extremely disappointing quality and value wise and we will never buy another again. In fact, we haven't bought another Breville product since.

Disappointing – I have had mine for over a year, worked well till this morning, the motor burned out, could smell the burnt out motor and smoke coming out. Have written to Breville this morning, will wait for their respond. Was good while it worked. Has anyone else had the same problem? motor burnt out this morning

Overheating/stops working and lost part – Great Machine, Have one that is around 5 years old, I think. i have Lost/misplaced the Juicer Cone, cannot seem to be able to buy a replacement. So purchase a new model a week or 2 ago, stops working after a couple of oranges or lemons being juiced. New model is about half the weight of my original model. Now have my original working with new… Read more

models juicer cone(most expensive way to purchase a spare part!?!?! Origanl model great, new one rubbish, but atleast i have a new Juicer cone for my old one New model over heats

Loved it. finally a quiet product that is solid and easy to clean and can handle any size citrud – Hooray . What an improvement on my old plastic breville juicer that had a citrus attachment that required a finger breaking move to detach for cleaning and roared like a chainsaw. However i was gutted when the handle jammed in the secondweek. Thank goodness a reviewer on this site provided the solution _to tighten the screw. Breville should… Read more ·  1

add that advice to instructions. So easy to clean. And it is not necessary to hold it down hard nor for very long. Just make sure the strainer and bowl bits are fitted in correct place . Happy and simple juicing! quiet and easy to clean and ss not plastic just a loose nut that results in handle malfunction. easily adjusted so no problem

Heavy duty citrus press – I had a few citrus juicers over the years but have now settled for the Breville Citrus Press. I bought it 6 months ago on sale. We juice citrus fruits about 3 times a week for a family of four. Three oranges will make a glass of juice. We use roughly 12 oranges at a time. We had a cheap plastic unit which was taking too long to juice and it… Read more ·  1

broke after few months. We then bought a centrifugal juicer to juice different types of fruit and vegetable juices but the citrus juice did not taste the same as freshly press juice.

I saw the Breville citrus press in store and liked the solid feel and look of it. Did some research online and decided to buy it.

It is that easy to use that even the 3 years old will have a go at it. Cleaning only requires a quick brush and rinse or on busy mornings, the parts just go into the dishwasher.

The only problem I had with the citrus press to date is that the handle press mechanism was stuck and not moving properly. I found out that a screw at the back of the handle mechanism was loose and was rubbing against the body of the unit. After tightening the screw, the machine is working again.

The positives: What I like about this citrus press is its solid feel and the cool design. It looks good on the kitchen bench. It is very easy to use and will extract all the juice out of the fruit. You can easily juice various size citrus without having to change any parts (lime, lemon, orange, blood orange etc). The adjustable spout will fill up the glass while juicing and can be closed to avoid over spilt. The citrus juice taste better than using centrifugal juicer and you do not need to peel the fruits.

The negatives: Very expensive for a citrus press but I suppose you pay for quality. It is heavy and takes a bit of kitchen bench space. Did not expect the screw to become loose after such a short period.

I have made a video showing the citrus press in action. If you are interested to see how it works, please check the following link:

Overheating and Filtering Problems – I was amazed with the look and construction, really liked it in the shop. Started using it – very quiet operation, effortless juicing. But after a few oranges started overheating and nasty smell slowly filled in my kitchen, then it stopped dead. I waited 15 minutes and tried again, I tried to put as minimal pressure as possible during juicing.… Read more

After three oranges it stopped operating again. The smell spoiled my juice. Was very disappointed. Other minuses: The pulp filter was filling out too quickly. After squeezing all the juice from the orange (which is done extremely well) it stays with the pulp and getting thrown away. Look, very quiet operation, effortless juicing Overheating, juice stays with the pulp and getting thrown away

Great for juicing – Had the older version for years, using it most days. Though quite heavy in weight, best orange juice squeezer i've ever had however the lip eventually came off. Replaced it with the newer lighter model about 6 months ago. So far no problems, and i don't have to permanently leave it on kitchen bench because of the weight. New version didn't… Read more ·  1

have the additional lemon pulp filter but the one from my previous juicer fits perfectly Light weight, great for squeezing citrus fruit Didn't come with lemon pulp filter

Excellent juicer! Fast and easy to clean! – We love this juicer for so many reasons. You can make your juice in a clean and fast way. Extracting the juice is very easy with the soft grip handle. We use it a lot and have had no problems with it so far! I highly recommend it to everyone! -It has a juicing cone that fits different sizes of fruits and veggies. -The juicer press arm comes in… Read more

handy. It leaves your hands clean as you don't need to have direct contact with the fruits/veggies you are juicing. -The filter is adjustable into fine or coarse thus giving you the option to choose to decrease or increase the pulp content in the juice. -Removable parts are dish washer safe. -The juicer comes in with a dust cover that covers the juicing cone and juice collector.

Love It But – I've had many citrus juicers but the Breville Citrus Press was my all-time favourite. Alas, though, after at least five years of smooth working, the arm seized and it wouldn't function. I had it repaired for about $45 and it worked for another year. Now, the same problem. I've been careful with that arm, making certain it doesn't get forced in… Read more ·  1

any way, so am now worried I am on the hunt once again for the perfect juicer as shelling out $45 every year doesn't seem sensible.

Excellent – We love this machine. We have had it for a year now and use it very regularly without problem. It is an attactive machine that easily and quickly juices oranges and grapefruit. Definitely beats using a hand juicer! Also, like the fact that it has 2 filters as one of us likes "the bits" and the other one doesn't - perfect! Very easy to use and… Read more ·  1

clean. Has the option of 2 filters to cater for those that don't like "the bits" of the fruit and those that do. Not too noisy (it doesn't wake the baby!). It quickly juices lots of fruit. The spout is quite low on the machine which means that you can't fit a tall glass under it. We have to use a coffee mug to catch the juice and then transfer into a taller glass.

Love Love Love this Juicer!!! – I bought this Citrus Press looking for something that not only got the job done, but also looked good - I found it in this. It is so easy to use and so amazingly quiet. All parts assemble and disassemble with ease, making cleaning a pleasure instead of a chore. The kids can't get enough fresh orange juice, we use it every day. Great looking!!! … Read more

Love this appliance as it looks good, is extremely quiet, with minimum effort. Parts wash up quickly and easily, there are no awkward crevices to clean out. Nothing wrong. Takes up a little bit of bench space and a little heavy to keep moving in and out of the cupboard, so you want it on your bench for ease of frequent use. In saying that, I can forego a little room for the cirrus press.
