Compare Juicers
AG-8500 scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
Every surface your food touches is made from 316 surgical-grade stainless steel -- the same material used in medical instruments. It is completely non-reactive with acidic fruits and vegetables.
The pressing surfaces are food-grade stainless steel -- non-reactive, durable, and one of the safest materials for food contact.
Your juice collects in a glass container, which is chemically inert. Nothing leaches into your juice, no matter how long it sits.
Your juice collects in a stainless steel container -- completely inert with zero chemical leaching risk, even with acidic citrus juice.
BPA is not a concern here because this juicer contains no plastic food-contact parts at all.
Confirmed BPA-free. The all-metal construction means BPA was never a concern to begin with.
PFAS (forever chemicals) are not a concern because stainless steel and glass inherently cannot contain them.
No PFAS-containing materials anywhere. Stainless steel construction eliminates the need for any fluoropolymer coatings.
Angel Juicer discloses the exact grade of every material in the machine. You know exactly what your food is touching.
Breville publishes specific material grades for every food-contact component -- you know exactly what your juice touches.
No independent lab has tested this machine for heavy metal content. While 316 stainless steel is inherently safe, formal testing would confirm it.
No independent lab has tested this juicer's stainless steel components for heavy metal contamination. This is a category-wide gap, not specific to Breville.
Twin-gear extraction crushes produce between two interlocking gears, squeezing out more juice with less heat than any other method. Your juice retains more vitamins and enzymes.
This is a dedicated citrus press -- it extracts orange, grapefruit, and lemon juice beautifully but cannot handle any other produce type.
The 180W motor is well-matched to the slow extraction speed. It handles most fruits and vegetables without straining, though very hard produce like frozen wheatgrass may require pre-cutting.
The 110W motor provides plenty of pressing force for citrus. It's designed for lever-press operation, not high-speed extraction.
At just 82 RPM, this juicer generates almost no heat during extraction. That means less oxidation and juice that stays fresh for up to 72 hours in the fridge.
Citrus presses use direct pressure rather than spinning blades, so RPM isn't a relevant measurement for this type of juicer.
There is one fixed strainer with no way to adjust pulp level. If you prefer very smooth or very pulpy juice, you will need to strain separately.
Two interchangeable filters let you choose between pulpy or smooth juice -- swap them in seconds depending on your preference.
No noise level measurement is available for this model. Twin-gear juicers are generally quieter than centrifugal models, but we cannot confirm this without measured data.
No noise measurement is available. Citrus presses are generally quieter than centrifugal juicers, but we don't have a confirmed number.
All parts must be hand washed. The stainless steel components are durable and easy to scrub, but expect 10-15 minutes of cleanup after each use.
All removable parts go right in the dishwasher -- no hand-scrubbing required after your morning juice.
Five parts to take apart and reassemble -- a manageable number that keeps cleanup straightforward.
Four parts to take apart -- quick disassembly that takes under a minute.
At 10.5 inches tall, this fits comfortably under standard kitchen cabinets. You can leave it on the counter without it dominating the space.
At just 7.6 inches tall, this fits under any standard kitchen cabinet. It can live permanently on your counter without taking up visual space.
A 10-year warranty is the longest in this category by far. Angel Juicer clearly stands behind the durability of this machine.
A 1-year warranty is the industry minimum. For a $251 appliance from a premium brand, you might expect longer coverage.
At $2,280, this is a significant investment. The value proposition depends on how often you juice -- for daily use over a decade, the cost per juice is quite reasonable given the 10-year warranty.
At $251, this is a mid-premium price for a citrus-only press. The all-stainless construction justifies the cost if citrus is your primary juice.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You juice daily and want the safest possible food-contact materials for your family.
You are willing to invest in a commercial-grade machine backed by a 10-year warranty.
Full material transparency and zero plastic food-contact surfaces are non-negotiable for you.
You value maximum nutrient retention and are willing to trade speed for juice quality.
Fresh orange, grapefruit, or lemon juice is a daily ritual in your household.
Zero plastic contact with your juice is a non-negotiable priority for your family.
You want a compact countertop appliance that fits under any cabinet at just 7.6 inches tall.
Easy cleanup matters -- dishwasher-safe parts and simple 4-piece disassembly.
The main thing to know
At $2,280, this is the most expensive juicer in the category by a wide margin. The 10-year warranty and surgical-grade stainless steel justify the investment for daily juicers, but this is not a casual purchase.
This is a citrus-only press -- it cannot juice vegetables, leafy greens, or non-citrus fruits. If you need a versatile juicer, this isn't it, no matter how safe the materials are.
Skip this if you...
You juice occasionally and cannot justify a $2,280 investment for a kitchen appliance.
You need dishwasher-safe parts because hand-washing after every use is a dealbreaker.
You prefer fast juicing -- centrifugal machines produce juice in seconds, not minutes.
You want to juice vegetables, leafy greens, or non-citrus fruits -- this press physically cannot do it.
A 1-year warranty on a $251 appliance feels insufficient for your comfort level.
You need a single juicer that handles everything from carrots to celery to oranges.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
