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 filter basket where produce is shredded is stainless steel -- a safe, non-reactive surface. However, Breville does not specify the exact grade of steel used.
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 plastic container of unknown type. Breville does not disclose what this plastic is made of, which is concerning for acidic juice that sits in direct contact with the material.
BPA is not a concern here because this juicer contains no plastic food-contact parts at all.
Breville has not stated whether this juicer's plastic parts are BPA-free. Without any disclosure, we cannot assess BPA risk.
PFAS (forever chemicals) are not a concern because stainless steel and glass inherently cannot contain them.
Breville has not addressed whether this product contains PFAS. For a product with plastic food-contact surfaces, this is a notable omission.
Angel Juicer discloses the exact grade of every material in the machine. You know exactly what your food is touching.
Breville mentions stainless steel for the filter but leaves the plastic components unidentified. This partial disclosure is a common industry pattern but falls short of what safety-conscious families need.
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 product for heavy metal content in its food-contact surfaces.
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.
Centrifugal extraction is the fastest method but generates the most heat, destroying some vitamins and enzymes. Not effective for leafy greens like kale or spinach.
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 700W motor handles hard fruits and vegetables without issue. Apples, carrots, and beets are processed quickly.
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.
At 14,000 RPM -- the highest speed in this comparison -- this juicer generates the most heat during extraction. Your juice oxidizes almost immediately and should be consumed right away.
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.
One fixed strainer with no pulp adjustment option. You get whatever pulp level the machine produces.
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. Like all centrifugal juicers, expect loud operation -- likely too noisy for open-plan kitchens during quiet hours.
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 are dishwasher safe -- a major convenience for daily juicing routines.
Five parts to take apart and reassemble -- a manageable number that keeps cleanup straightforward.
Five parts to take apart -- simple enough for daily use without frustration.
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 15.7 inches, this is slightly more compact than the JE98XL but still borderline for under-cabinet placement. Measure your clearance.
A 10-year warranty is the longest in this category by far. Angel Juicer clearly stands behind the durability of this machine.
One year of warranty is the industry minimum. For an $80 appliance this is expected, but it does not inspire long-term confidence.
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 $80, this is the cheapest juicer in the comparison. The low price is appealing, but the undisclosed plastic materials and poor nutrient retention mean you are trading transparency and quality for affordability.
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.
You want the absolute cheapest way to start juicing and plan to drink your juice immediately.
Material transparency is not a priority and you are comfortable with unspecified plastic food-contact surfaces.
You need a compact, dishwasher-safe juicer for occasional use rather than daily juicing.
Speed matters more than nutrient retention -- you want juice in seconds, not minutes.
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 juicer has the same undisclosed plastic container as its larger sibling the JE98XL, plus the highest RPM (14,000) in the comparison -- meaning both material safety and juice quality are at the bottom of the pack.
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 care about what materials your food touches -- Breville does not disclose the plastic type, BPA status, or PFAS status.
You want to store juice for later -- at 14,000 RPM, the juice oxidizes almost immediately.
Nutrient retention is important to your family -- centrifugal extraction at this speed destroys the most vitamins and enzymes of any method.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
