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 filter basket is stainless steel -- a safe, non-reactive material for the surface that contacts produce during extraction.
Your juice collects in a stainless steel container -- completely inert with zero chemical leaching risk, even with acidic citrus juice.
The juice container material isn't disclosed. Your juice sits in this container after extraction, and we can't verify what it's made of.
Confirmed BPA-free. The all-metal construction means BPA was never a concern to begin with.
BPA-free is confirmed, though with undisclosed container materials the claim only covers the components that are identified.
No PFAS-containing materials anywhere. Stainless steel construction eliminates the need for any fluoropolymer coatings.
Qcen makes no statement about PFAS content. Without knowing the full material list, we can't confirm or deny the presence of PFAS.
Breville publishes specific material grades for every food-contact component -- you know exactly what your juice touches.
Only the filter material is specified. The container, housing, and other food-contact parts remain unidentified -- 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.
No independent lab has tested this juicer for heavy metal contamination.
This is a dedicated citrus press -- it extracts orange, grapefruit, and lemon juice beautifully but cannot handle any other produce type.
Centrifugal juicing extracts fast but generates heat that breaks down nutrients. Leafy greens like kale and spinach won't juice well with this method.
The 110W motor provides plenty of pressing force for citrus. It's designed for lever-press operation, not high-speed extraction.
500W provides solid extraction force for most fruits and vegetables -- no issues with apples, oranges, or cucumbers.
Citrus presses use direct pressure rather than spinning blades, so RPM isn't a relevant measurement for this type of juicer.
At 18,000 RPM, this juicer generates significant heat during extraction. Vitamins and enzymes break down quickly -- drink your juice within minutes for best nutrition.
Two interchangeable filters let you choose between pulpy or smooth juice -- swap them in seconds depending on your preference.
One strainer, one pulp level. You can't adjust texture -- what you get is what you get.
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 are generally loud -- expect noticeable noise during operation.
All removable parts go right in the dishwasher -- no hand-scrubbing required after your morning juice.
Removable parts go in the dishwasher, making daily cleanup quick and easy.
Four parts to take apart -- quick disassembly that takes under a minute.
The number of parts to disassemble isn't specified in the product listing.
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 under 8 inches tall, this fits comfortably under any standard kitchen cabinet. Easy to store on the counter permanently.
A 1-year warranty is the industry minimum. For a $251 appliance from a premium brand, you might expect longer coverage.
A 2-year warranty is decent for a $53 juicer -- better than average for this price range and the best warranty among the budget options we reviewed.
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 $53, this is the most affordable juicer we reviewed. The low price is attractive, but factor in the material unknowns when assessing true value.
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 the most affordable juicer in the batch and primarily juice simple fruits like apples and oranges.
A compact under-8-inch design that fits under any cabinet is important for your kitchen layout.
Dishwasher-safe parts and a 2-year warranty matter more to you than material transparency.
You're okay drinking juice immediately -- centrifugal extraction means nutrients degrade within hours.
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 undisclosed and PFAS status unknown -- at this price point, material transparency is minimal and you're trusting an unfamiliar brand with limited safety documentation.
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 your juice touches is important to your family -- the container is undisclosed.
You want juice that stays nutrient-rich for hours -- the 18,000 RPM extraction causes rapid degradation.
You juice leafy greens regularly -- centrifugal juicers extract them poorly.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
