A juicer is always needed on the farm, but choosing a really good and high-quality one is not always easy. Today I would like to talk about one rather interesting model, which, in addition to beautiful design, has impressive functionality - Braun J700. Let's take a closer look at this device.
Description
First, a little description. The Braun J700 juicer is far from a novelty in the market of small household appliances. This model began to be produced back in 2012 and, by the way, immediately won several prestigious awards in the field of design and innovation. In principle, the awards are well-deserved, because outwardly the unit looks chic, and its technical characteristics are simply impressive.
Among the many laudatory odes from the users of this product, you can see their endless delight. The juicer easily copes with citrus fruits, apples, pears, carrots and other fruits, vegetables and berries. The process itself also does not take much time - for a coupleminutes, you can completely press at least a liter of fresh natural juice. However, let's move from words to deeds and get to know the "hero" of today's review better.
Package
The Braun J700 Juicer comes in a small black cardboard box with various colorful images. In addition, there is also a description of the main features and characteristics of the juicer. In principle, nothing special, the packaging is more than standard for both this company and most competitors.
Inside the package you can find a real designer from which to assemble the Braun J700 juicer. In addition to parts, the box also contains a small assembly instruction, a cleaning brush and a warranty card. Actually, now to the parts of the juicer. There are 12 in total:
- Drive unit, it is also called the motor part.
- Speed switch.
- Special holding clips.
- Pulp container.
- Juice drip tray.
- Fine mesh filter with special blade.
- Cover with loading compartment.
- Pusher.
- Spout through which juice will flow.
- Juice container.
- Foam separator (inserted into container).
- Juice container lid.
The main task is to connect all the parts into a single whole. In fact, there is nothing complicated in this, and with the assembly it may welleven a child can handle it - you just need to follow the instructions.
Appearance
The design and look of the Braun Multiquick J700 is just gorgeous. The materials used here are metal (stainless steel) and high-quality plastic. Most of the case is made of stainless steel, and everything else is made of plastic. The juicer is sold in only one color and it matches the machine very well.
On the right side there is a gearshift control, of which there are only 2, but this is more than enough. In front there is a hook-on spout through which the juice will flow. It can be used in two positions. First, the nose is absolutely straight. The second - the nose is bent at a small angle. This is very convenient, for which the developers should say a special thank you.
There is nothing interesting behind. Below are only legs with rubber suction cups, which provide very good stability for the juicer on any surface. There is also a small groove where you can hide the wire when the equipment is not in use. Also a very convenient solution.
At the top of the juicer is a removable cover with a loading compartment. The compartment itself has a good diameter, and at first glance, whole apples and medium-sized pears should fit into it without problems. A filter consisting of a very fine metal mesh and a special knife are hidden under the lid.
Last,what's left here is a juice container. Its volume is 1250 ml. Additionally, it has a lid and a separator (partition) to separate the foam from the juice. As the experience of many juicers shows, such separators are extremely mediocre at their job, so it is quite possible to do without them.
Specifications
It's time to get acquainted with the technical characteristics of the Braun Multiquick J700 juicer. Here they are:
- The power of the juicer is 1000 W.
- Control - mechanical.

In general, nothing special. Fans of using the dishwasher will be happy, because after the "extraction" of the juice, the parts of the juicer (except for the motor compartment) can be placed in the machine, and it will wash them on its own. Separately, it is worth noting the high power of 1000 W.
Juicer at work
Now let's take a closer look at how the Braun J700 Multiquick 7 works. It's pretty simple. When you turn on the juicer, a slight twitching of the case is immediately noticeable due to the very powerful engine. Small and medium apples and pears without anyor problems crawl into the boot bay. The grater knife almost instantly grinds the fruit, leaving only a small handful of cake from them. Processing 1 kg of apples takes no more than 5 minutes, which is incredibly convenient. Pressed and immediately drank.
As for the speeds, the first spin is more thorough, but the second speed may begin to appear unprocessed pieces, and sometimes pieces. This is especially visible after the filter is slightly clogged. The pulp that remains after processing is quite small and resembles a kind of gruel. Some housewives prefer not to throw away the resulting cake, but to use it to make pancakes. Waste-free production, so to speak.
Reviews
Reviews of the Braun J700 Multiquick 7 juicer show that this model is practically devoid of flaws. The main disadvantage, according to users, is that when the mesh (filter) becomes clogged, fruits or vegetables begin to chop worse, and large pieces and parts begin to accumulate inside, in the pulp collection compartment. All this is treated with a simple cleaning, so it's not very critical. Some more users complain that the cake (pulp) turns out to be a little damp, which indicates not quite a full spin. Unfortunately, nothing much can be done about it, the only thing is that the juicer works much more efficiently at the first speed.
Cost
The cost of Braun J700 today is about 7000-8000 thousand rubles. Often there are offers in the region of 10 thousand. Yes, the price is far from small, but it is fully justified. The only thing is definitely to avoid price tags over 11 thousand rubles. Some stores even sell a juicer for 17-18 thousand. Such a price is unreasonably high, and it is clearly not worth buying a juicer on such offers.
Conclusion
So, from today's review we can draw the following conclusion: the Braun J700 juicer is a great option for those who really like to drink natural juices. Despite the considerable price, the technique fully justifies itself, allowing you to process various fruits (even with peel), berries and vegetables without any problems. The whole process does not take much time - 1-2 liters can be "pressed" in just a couple of minutes. Thanks to the convenient collapsible design, washing the juicer will also not be a problem.
Actually, that's all. Drink freshly squeezed natural juices and be he althy!
