Juicer.Kitchen Verdict
The Breville Bluicer is a smart, space-saving machine that lets you juice and blend with one appliance. As a juicer, it performs like Breville’s top centrifugal models—fast, easy, and great with hard veggies like carrots, watery produce like celery and cucumbers, and decent with firm fruits like apples. It won’t match cold press juicers for leafy greens or overall juice quality, but the wide 3.5-inch feed chute keeps prep minimal and makes everyday juicing simple.
On the blending side, it handled smoothies, ice crushing, sugar grinding, and even nut butters really well. It just doesn’t mill corn as finely as a premium $500 blender—but overall, blending performance is solid.
At around $400, you’re essentially getting a strong centrifugal juicer and a capable mid-range blender in one machine. It’s a smart option if you want to save counter space without sacrificing everyday performance.
Pros
Combines juicing and blending in one machine
Wide 3.5" juicer feed chute
Variable juicing speeds
Solid blending performance for smoothies and ice
Cons
Less efficient with leafy greens than slow juicers

Breville 3X Bluicer Pro Detailed Review
Intro
The Bluicer is a unique concept — it blends and juices using the same base. Instead of buying two separate machines, you can do both in one sleek setup. Whether you’re making a green smoothie or fresh carrot-apple juice, this single appliance does it all.
You might assume that because it fills two roles, it wouldn’t match the performance of a dedicated juicer or blender. However, that wasn’t our experience during testing.
Build Quality
Like all of Breville’s high-end machines, the build quality is excellent. The blending jug and juicing lid are made of durable, BPA-free plastic, while key components like the filter basket and blades are stainless steel.
The base is stainless steel with a brushed finish, and it feels sturdy. Everything fits together precisely, and there’s no sense of cheapness anywhere. You can tell Breville designed this to last, even if the warranty could be longer.
3X Bluicer Pro Design
The Bluicer Pro packs an 1100-watt motor, powerful enough to crush ice and juice hard produce with ease.
On the blender side, you get a manual speed dial on the right and an LED display that shows the setting in use with a timer and speed level. You also get five one-touch blending programs — Green Smoothie, Smoothie, Pulse/Ice Crush, Auto Clean, and Cocktail — so most blending tasks can be started with a single press.
The juicer side features a 3.5-inch feed chute, matching what you get on their higher end Juice Fountain Cold Plus and XL. For comparison, lower-priced models like the Juice Fountain Cold Juicer only have a 3-inch chute. You’re also getting variable speed control, letting you adjust for soft or hard produce, found only on Breville’s high end $400 Juice Fountain Cold XL.
Overall, you’re getting premium Breville design and features from their top juicers and blenders combined into one sleek, multipurpose machine.
Juicing Performance
The Bluicer uses Cold Spin Technology, which Breville claims helps reduce heat transfer during juicing. But don’t mistake it for cold press — it’s still a centrifugal juicer that spins at high speed.
Performance-wise, it’s very similar to Breville’s top centrifugal models:
- Excellent for hard vegetables like carrots and beets
- Great for watery produce like celery and cucumbers
- Decent for firm fruits
- Not ideal for leafy greens
If your goal is fast, easy juicing and you mostly juice carrots, celery, apples, or beets — the Bluicer is a great fit. It’s extremely fast, needs almost no prep, and delivers solid yield from hard produce.
That said, since it’s a centrifugal system, it’s not on par with cold press juicers when it comes to green juice or juice quality. The juice is slightly more aerated, but it’s clean, and ready in seconds — ideal for busy, on-the-go people.
Blending Performance
In blending mode, the Bluicer performs impressively for a combo unit. It handled smoothies, ice cubes, and sugar grinding with ease.
When making nut butter, it took about 5 minutes to reach the same creamy texture that Breville’s Super Q managed in around 2 minutes — so, it gets there, just not as fast.
It also didn’t mill corn into as fine a powder as a premium $500 blender, but that’s expected given its price and purpose.
Overall, it performs like a capable mid-range blender — smooth results and dependable performance, though not at the level of a professional-grade machine.
Assembly
Assembly for both juicing and blending is straightforward. For blending, it’s literally one step — place the 1.5 L jug on the base. For juicing, there are four parts, and they lock into place easily.
Cleaning?
The Bluicer is also fairly easy to clean.
After blending, the auto-clean function with a bit of soap and water does most of the work — just pour it out and rinse.
The juicing parts take a little more effort. Most rinse off easily, but the filter basket needs a quick scrub with the included brush. It takes about 2-3 minutes.
Most parts are dishwasher safe, so you can skip hand-washing if you prefer.
Warranty?
The Bluicer comes with a 2-year limited warranty.
Accessories?
It’s also compatible with Breville’s Vac Q attachment — a small vacuum pump that removes air from the blending jug to reduce oxidation. It’s sold separately, but if you’re into smoothies, it’s worth considering.
Breville 3X Bluicer Pro vs Breville 3X Bluicer
- Pro: Stainless-steel housing, 10-speed settings(dial), 5 preset programs, 1100 watt
- Regular Bluicer: Scratch-resistant plastic, 5 speed buttons, 4 presets, 1000 watt
If you plan to use it often, the Pro model feels more solid and worth the extra cost.
Other recommendations
If you’re looking for a machine that handles both juicing and blending, the Breville 3X Bluicer Pro is a very practical option.
If you prefer a dedicated high-performance blender, the Breville Super Q delivers stronger standalone blending power. And if juicing quality is your main focus, we tend to favor the Hurom H400.
Final words?
The Breville Bluicer Pro is a genuinely capable 2-in-1 machine. It won’t replace a dedicated high-end slow juicer or professional blender, but it comes surprisingly close for most households — at a far more accessible price point.
If counter space matters and you want both fresh juice and smoothies from one well-built appliance, the Bluicer Pro is one of the smartest all-in-one options available.
