Compare Juicers
Citrus Press Pro 800CPXL scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
The pressing surfaces are food-grade stainless steel -- non-reactive, durable, and one of the safest materials for food contact.
The blades and filter basket are confirmed 304 stainless steel -- the gold standard for food-contact cutting surfaces.
Your juice collects in a stainless steel container -- completely inert with zero chemical leaching risk, even with acidic citrus juice.
The material of the juice container is not disclosed anywhere by Hilax. Your juice sits in this container after extraction, and we can't tell you what it's made of.
Confirmed BPA-free. The all-metal construction means BPA was never a concern to begin with.
The listing claims BPA-free status, though with undisclosed container materials, this claim covers only the disclosed components.
No PFAS-containing materials anywhere. Stainless steel construction eliminates the need for any fluoropolymer coatings.
Hilax makes no statement about PFAS. Without knowing the container material, we can't rule out PFAS-containing components.
Breville publishes specific material grades for every food-contact component -- you know exactly what your juice touches.
Hilax discloses the blade material (304 SS) but leaves the container, housing, and other components unspecified. We're working with an incomplete picture.
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.

This is a dedicated citrus press -- it extracts orange, grapefruit, and lemon juice beautifully but cannot handle any other produce type.
Centrifugal juicing is fast but generates heat that breaks down vitamins and enzymes. Leafy greens like spinach and kale extract poorly with this method.
The 110W motor provides plenty of pressing force for citrus. It's designed for lever-press operation, not high-speed extraction.
At 1,100 watts, this is the most powerful motor in our juicer batch. It tears through carrots, beets, and hard produce without hesitation.
Citrus presses use direct pressure rather than spinning blades, so RPM isn't a relevant measurement for this type of juicer.
Spinning at 18,000 RPM generates significant heat during extraction. Nutrients break down quickly, so drink your juice right away.
Two interchangeable filters let you choose between pulpy or smooth juice -- swap them in seconds depending on your preference.
Multiple pulp settings let you go from smooth to chunky depending on your preference -- the most flexible pulp control in this batch.
No noise measurement is available. Citrus presses are generally quieter than centrifugal juicers, but we don't have a confirmed number.
No noise measurement is available. Centrifugal juicers in this power class are typically quite loud -- expect to raise your voice during operation.
All removable parts go right in the dishwasher -- no hand-scrubbing required after your morning juice.
Removable parts go in the dishwasher -- a real time-saver for daily juicing routines.
Four parts to take apart -- quick disassembly that takes under a minute.
The number of parts to disassemble isn't published. We're working from the product listing here, which doesn't specify.
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.
At nearly 16 inches tall, this is a tight fit under standard kitchen cabinets. Measure your clearance before buying.
A 1-year warranty is the industry minimum. For a $251 appliance from a premium brand, you might expect longer coverage.
Zero warranty coverage. If anything fails -- motor, blade, container -- there's no manufacturer support. You're completely on your own.
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.
At $80, this is affordable but the lack of material disclosure and zero warranty mean you're accepting unknowns for the low price.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
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.
You want powerful, fast juice extraction and don't mind drinking it immediately before nutrients degrade.
Adjustable pulp control is important -- the multi-level system lets you dial in your preferred texture.
You need a budget juicer under $80 and accept the material transparency tradeoffs at this price.
Dishwasher-safe parts are essential for your daily routine.
The main thing to know
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.
The juice container material is completely undisclosed and there is zero warranty coverage -- if the container is a low-grade plastic, your acidic juice sits in an unknown material with no recourse if the unit fails.
Skip this if you...
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.
Knowing exactly what materials touch your juice is important to your family -- the container is undisclosed.
You expect any warranty coverage at all -- this product offers none.
You want juice that stays fresh for more than a few hours -- centrifugal extraction at 18,000 RPM accelerates spoilage.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
