I just found this review
What the Reviewers Like:
Reviews say that the Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Motorized Citrus Press feels substantial and stays put during juicing. Owners like the fine and coarse strainers and the dust cover. Owners say that it's easy to juice large quantities of limes for cocktails.

What the Reviewers Don't Like:
A few owners wish the cord was longer, and some call the Breville 800CPXL Citrus Press heavy and bulky.

Breville 800CPXL Citrus Press review highlights

Unlike most citrus juicers, the Breville 800CPXL combines a spinning cone with a mechanical arm. It costs more than other citrus presses, but owners say that you get a handsome, durable machine for the money. The only downsides pertain to this model's height (17 inches), and its spout, which some owners say is a little low for tall glasses. Owners posting to Amazon.com say that the Breville Die-Cast Citrus Press outclasses every other citrus juicer. But for this price you may want to consider a juice extractor, which will let you juice a wider variety of fruits as well as vegetables.

We read dozens of reviews of the Breville 800CPXL Die-Cast Motorized Citrus Press at Amazon.com, which is the best place to judge owner satisfaction. This is the top-rated citrus press at Cooking.com, where it has been reviewed by about two dozen owners.

If I had a compressed air gun handy I'd still have my extractor which was a real pain to clean. We all need more fiber in our diet so for me that was another mark against it. Next to my V-Slicer, my Mexican manual juicer is my favorite toy and this looks like it would a huge step forward from that. For your business I'm guessing you made a very wise and I'd bet a very profitable purchase. Lots of profits in lemonade.

What I wrote a while back:

I thought this citrus juicer was very good when I got it in July of 2007. It is nicely finished in easy-to-clean stainless-steel, the lever action makes it less of a strain to get some pressure on the citrus, and it is fairly easy to clean the parts.

I make about 1/2 - 1 cup of juice daily. After a couple of months, something bent or stretched or broke in the hinge mechanism, and it became a little loose. Everything kept working though.

Well, the six month mark came yesteday, and it died. I juiced half of a lime, and when I put the other half in... nothing. I guess the internal switch that activates the motor when one depresses the lever failed.

For $160, I would have hoped that it make to the one year mark. Who knows, maybe I can get it repaired or replaced, but I can no longer recommend this juicer without reservations.

Addendum: There is no way to make a warranty claim online. I had to call and leave a message. After two calls, I finally heard from Breville. They directed me to pack it up and ship it to California, along with the receipt, at my expense.

For those wondering, this is the Breville 800CPXL available at Amazon:


It's a citrus juicer only.
