Recently owned the L'Equip 221 and before that the Juiceman. Although each of those are good juicers the 800JEXL simply blows them away. Large feed shoot, incredible power, stainless steel, ez cleaup, etc. In paticular I like how the juice pitcher completely covers the spout of juicer elimiating juice splash that occured frequently with the other machines.
Buy this juicer you won't be disappointed
I used an Omega 1000 for 7 years. The Omega would often get out of balance (you have to stop juicing, disassemble, clean and start over), has a small feed chute and at times would "spray" some juice from the spout.
The Breville 800 has the following great features:
Big feed chute. You can process 3 regular size carrots at once or three medium apples or oranges (stacked in the feed chute). No cutting needed. The chute is 3" in Dia and 7" tall.
Disassembles quickly. No screws. Fits easily in the dishwasher.
The pitcher included has a spout opening, so there's no overspray. Additionally, the lid is made to separate the foam from the juice.
Never gets out of balance because it's and ejection style juicer. It still does a great job of extracting the majority of juice with the high rpm motor.
Last, it looks very nice on the counter with the stainless steel construction.
