Cleaning the Breville BJE520 is a breeze, thanks to its easy-to-assemble components and dishwasher-safe parts. This user-friendly design helps eliminate the daunting task of cleanup that often discourages people from juicing. Additionally, the juicer includes a built-in froth separator, ensuring a smooth and pure juice experience without unwanted froth.

Another characteristic of the BJE520 is its compact design, which means it can easily fit on kitchen counters without taking up too much space. It is both stylish and practical, catering to modern kitchen aesthetics while providing powerful juicing capabilities.
