This juice is great for veggies. The opening is huge enough for an apple so it cuts down the preparation time. It is not a good extractor for fruit especially melons. The pulp container is sloppy wet. But for veggies, it is fast as the motor has some good torque. The cost is about $150 and that is cheap for what you get. I have owned a Breville Juicer for about 2 years and it is still going strong so I give this a 4 out of 5 rating.

Why is the Breville bad for melons?
I would have to disagree. One of my absolute favorite juices to make with my Breville compact juicer is cantaloupe juice. (It’s my fasting version of a decadent dessert), especially with some fresh raspberries thrown in. Yumm. I have to take the tough skin off the melon, of course. (I quarter the cantaloupe and then ‘filet’ the 4 sections out of their skin with a sharp knife. Then just toss them in the Breville and it juices each quarter slice in about one second. Very little waste. Delicious juice!
Try to freeze melons before you juice. My juice has little bits so I strain the juice through a paint strainer to get the bits out. The Breville is great.
