Yes, most Breville juicer parts are dishwasher safe, but always check the user manual for specific care instructions to ensure longevity.
Keeping your Breville juicer clean is essential for performance and hygiene. Many owners wonder which parts can safely go in the dishwasher. The answer varies by model, but most removable components are top-rack dishwasher safe.
Which Breville Juicer Parts Are Dishwasher Safe?
Most Breville juicer models follow similar cleaning guidelines. Here’s what you need to know:
Safe for Dishwasher (Top Rack Only)
- Plastic juice jug and lid
- Pulp container
- Stainless steel filter basket
- Food pusher
- Cutting disc assembly
Never Put in Dishwasher
- Motor base (contains electrical components)
- Cord and plug
For models like the Breville Juice Fountain Plus, the manual specifically recommends top-rack dishwasher cleaning for all removable parts except the base.
How to Clean the Filter Screen
The micro-mesh filter basket requires special attention:
- Rinse immediately after use to prevent pulp drying
- Use the included brush with warm soapy water
- For tough buildup, soak in warm water with baking soda
- Dishwasher cleaning is acceptable but may reduce lifespan
According to Target’s product page, newer Breville models like the Cold Juice Fountain specifically advertise dishwasher-safe parts.
Hand Washing vs. Dishwasher
Many users prefer hand washing for these reasons:
| Method | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Dishwasher | Convenient, sanitizes | May wear parts faster |
| Hand Wash | Gentler on components | More time consuming |
Pro Tips for Easy Cleaning
- Line pulp container with produce bags for quick cleanup
- Rinse parts immediately after juicing
- Use warm (not hot) water to prevent warping
- Dry thoroughly before reassembling

Model-Specific Recommendations
Different Breville juicers have slightly different cleaning requirements:
Juice Fountain Plus (JE98XL)
All removable parts are top-rack dishwasher safe. The stainless steel components hold up well to machine washing.
Cold Juice Fountain
Designed specifically for dishwasher cleaning. The Cold Spin Technology components are built to withstand regular machine washing.
Compact Models
Smaller units like the BJE200XL have fewer parts but follow the same cleaning principles – base stays out, removable parts can go in dishwasher.
Always check your specific model’s manual, as Breville occasionally updates recommendations. The Amazon Q&A section often contains real-user experiences with specific models.
Extending Your Juicer’s Lifespan
Proper cleaning directly impacts how long your juicer lasts:
- Avoid harsh scrubbers that can scratch surfaces
- Never submerge motor base in water
- Store parts separately to prevent moisture buildup
- Inspect rubber seals regularly for wear
With proper care, a Breville juicer can last for years of daily use. Following the manufacturer’s cleaning recommendations ensures optimal performance and food safety.
