This is an update to my previous video. I recently got a replacement only to my disappointment of having the same leakage issue.
What happens if I am juicing e.g. a big orange or a grapefruit and lot of juice comes out at the same time, then it leaks from the sides of the spout. And if I close the spout and try to juice and open the spout, that's when half the juice spills all over the counter from the sides of the spout (Please see the video)
Then I went and did some research online. Even the official Breville video on KZbin shows a leak if you go to 33 seconds in the video ( • Breville -- Tips and T... ). Then I looked at some 3rd-party reviews and all the reviews either do not juice with spout closed or they just never open the spout after juicing (because I am sure they know it will spill all over)
Amazon sent me a replacement and it has the same problem, so basically Breville never thought through properly and introduced a design flaw in something which have been working in 20 years old juicers.
Overall built, quality, mechanics and looks are solid. It looks great on the counter with all stainless steel built. But what good is a juicer if the basic functionality is missing.
Other three things that I did not like are:
1- The top part that comes off, is not very easy to pull out or plug back in. They could have done a better job. Inside is also plastic and a bit harder to clean
2- The strainers and the cone that I have to wash are a bit rough steel, not that smooth so the pulp sticks to it and it is slightly harder to wash away, but that is something I can live with.
3- Breville used to include two strainers with this product; a fine strainer and one coarse for more pulpy juice. Now they only include the pulpy one. Even though most people including myself would prefer more pulp, but it does bother me that they removed one item from original product.
I think it is a love and hate relation, because I really like the way it juices and really hate when it spills. So if I decide to keep the juicer I will have to be aware of that flaw and:
1- Never juice with the spout closed
2- Juice in slow motion when juicing grapefruits or other larger citruses.
