Breville the 3X Bluicer™ Blender and Juicer BJB615SHY

After 120 seconds on highest setting, raisins are cut in fourths and end up at the bottom of smoothy instead of blended into a mixture. My video shows the blender unable to blend a carrot and altho this is an anomaly, it’s nevertheless concerning. I suggest the engineers use sharp blades instead of dull ones (just an idea Breville).

The Juicer: I follow the directions to a T and for some reason I get juice coming out from under the filter basket. Other than that the juicer is well worth it. It’s easy to clean also. I do enough juicing I have to disassemble and clean it at least three times before I’m finished. I’m glad it’s easy to do.
The Blender: I used ripe papaya, mango and banana with juice, Greek yogurt and 1TBLhoney to make a smoothie. No matter how much I blended it still had a lot of little chunks that get stuck in our reusable metal straws. I expected it to work better. The blender worked great to make homemade salad dressings and homemade butter.

I purchased my Breville Bluicer from Breville directly, but still wanted to post this Amazon review. I normally don’t want to leave reviews, but, I simply had to for this one! After careful research of 100’s of blenders, I chose to go with the Bluicer. One of the things that has always been most frustrating for regarding juicers is that you want to have strawberries and berries blended into a pure juice, but it requires multiple machines to get it done. Berries don’t juice up well, so I wouldn’t recommend it. Why waste the berry pulp when the berries are so good for you, for example? With this machine, one can simply juice the harder items, then use the blender function to quickly create a hybrid juice without wasting the berry pulp!

Originally I wanted a “press” type, but honestly, I think this blender does an equal job. I had high anticipations, but not this high! My expectations were blown out of the water. I’ve uploaded a photo of my first creation: I literally received a whopping SIXTEEN ounces (that’s two cups!) of juice from ONLY Two purple heirloom carrots, two apples, and 3 strawberries. I mean…. What the heck? That’s more powerful than most “press” types! Anyone who says this blender isn’t putting a high out put of juice and is wasting the vegetables/fruits is obviously not using the juicer correctly.

Its important to read the manual. Understand the settings, and don’t use the wrong strengths of numbers for your juicing strength. Apples/Carrots and other harder items should ALWAYS be blended on a 5. Breville gives you a nice chart for this, so stick to it. The only thing I would NOT do is ever try to juice berries. Don’t waste your berries. Save them for the blender at the tail end. Use the smoothie function and let it blend a full minute before stopping it. I’ve read complaints in other reviews that the blender isn’t very powerful, but it isn’t suppose to be as this is an A++++ juicer before a blender. The blender actually does do a great job, but if you really want your drink smooth as glass, allow it to complete the full 45-60 seconds on the “Smoothie” function. Do not use the other blender functions if you’re looking to blend soft things like berries into the pure juice.

Assembly: Wow. I thought this was going to be a headache assembling and dissembling from looking at the photos – but NOT AT ALL! The bluicer is designed in a such a way that all the parts seem to just “slip” into place without trying to overly torque or line anything up just right. Everything glides into places with minimal effort.

The sky is the limit with this machine. You could add supplements, powdered medicinal herbs, powdered algae, and other incredibly important health powders to the blender portion at the end, coming up with all sorts of amazing creations.

The recipe in my photo is simple: 2 Apples (seeds removed), 2 large heirloom purple carrots.. Juice into the jug. Then, place the jug on the motor and “BLEND” in 3-5 strawberries and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice using the smoothie function for 45 seconds. SMOOTH AS GLASS, I tell you! No water added to get 16 ounces of juice from those few items!

In the end, this will be a huge money saver because you need less vegetables and fruits to get high output of juice. AMAZING! BREVILLE, THANK YOU for an outstanding design and exceptional product! Cheers to world health!

I’ve tried several juicers and this exceeds my expectations and is not even in the same category as other juicers. I juice a gallon of juice in 10 minutes or less. It’s easy to clean, will juice whole fruits and vegetables no problem. The pulp is a little wetter than some juicers but who cares, with the extra 1.5 hours I have from not cutting veggies and unclogging and cleaning and juicing I can get to work earlier with more energy from all that juice and buy the veggies 10 fold. Buy the Breville especially if it’s on sale, you won’t regret it and besides you can send it back if you want.. but you won’t. Your guests will ooo and ahhh about your new toy and your coworkers will pay you for juice because everyone loves some fresh juice and the pick me up is undeniable. It’s the easiest juicer to use

I started juicing and got hooked and love this machine. I love that I can juice and then take the juice and throw more ingredients in and make a great tasting healthy smoothie. I use this machine daily and sometimes 2x a day. If you rinse off all the parts right after you use it the clean up is not too bad as there are multiple parts.

Poor design: you have to tilt the machine to get the jug to fit on the spout. The juicer spout is ABOVE the bottom of the bowl and leaves about 2 tablespoons of juice once complete.
Efficiency and effectiveness: no better than the original Jack L.’s machine that we have had for a decade. Spit out chunks of a ripe mango, pear, anything soft. The blender is less effective than our Nutrib’lt Pro. Could not blend away spinach bits in a smoothie.
Was hoping to replace 2 machines for 1, but for a MSRP of 300 (not what I paid), not worth it.
Hope I can return it.

If you are unsure about a bluicer and think it’s a cleaning nightmare. Just buy it! It’s amazing.

I love this juicer!! I had put off buying it for a while due to the price… but it’s well worth Every penny. I use the blender daily for my smoothies and protein shakes, and l juice about 2xs a weeks.
Super easy to clean, l place a bag in the collection bucket to make that easy to clean. Everything else just rinse and wash. LOVE , LOVE , Love it!!!

Performance is good, not great. The item fully assembled is bulky and takes up a lot of counter top space, even in a medium size gourmet kitchen. The pitcher spout clamp leaves much to be desired. celery juice splatters so you must adjust speeds to avoid certain food items that contain larger amounts of liquid like celery, apples, etc. if you’ve got the space and time to assemble and learn how to use this item it works, but kind of a pain in the butt

I’ve only had this blender for a few months and it is struggling to blend a simple fruit smoothie. There is clearly an issue with the motor or something. I would NOT recommend this blender.
