kuvingsCold Press Wide Feed Juicer, 240 W, Red

Before buying I did my research. I dismissed centrifugal juicers because they are wasteful, typically hard to clean and produce insipid aerated juice. Out of the alternatives I opted for vertical single auger type juicers as the most space saving and general purpose non centrifugal juicers. The more expensive twin auger horizontal juicers didn't seem to offer sufficient if any advantages to justify their higher price esp given they are typically harder to clean. I also dismissed the cheaper vertical single auger juicers opting instead for an established brand.Of those remaining the Kuvings Whole Slow juicer as its called in the US seemed the most interesting of the latest models well reviewed on YouTube etc.Glad to report I made a good choice. Can't speak for the competition but I'm very happy with the Kuvings. Can honestly say its one of my best kitchen appliance purchases ever. Its solid well built, obvious and easy to assemble use and clean, and makes absolutely superb juice which can be stored in the fridge up to 48 hours.I've had this juicer just under a month during which time I've been experimenting juicing fruit but mostly vegetables and greens.Ultra quick and easy to assemble. To clean most things just need rinsing under the tap after use. For the sieve use the handy supplied cleaner. The wide opening takes things like carrots, apples and beetroot whole also reducing food preparation. Although fibrous veg need to be cut-up otherwise they will tend to clog the pulp out feed.Happily juices apples, pears, carrots, beetroot including stalk leaves and root, ginger, garlic, leafy herbs like coriander and parsley, red cabbage cut-up, spring onions and celery finely sliced, whole onions with dry outer skin removed, peppers, garlic, ginger, curly kale and leafy spinach. You get the idea, it can juice pretty anything with minimal fuss.

Very good product

So after much reading and discussing, we decided to buy the Kurvings. The assembling was pretty straight forward and easy (YouTube video) and getting our first juice was a few minutes job.The machine is well built and sturdy. It has simple functions that anyone can use.Cleaning can be a bit painful because of the different components that need washing but a run under the water for most of it is enough. However, the main juice holder has two nozzles where the juice and waste comes out from. The one for the waste is a bit of a pain to clean if you've used soft fruits because it gets stuck and the cleaning wire won't go that far to clean the fruits out.Other than that, the machine is a charm- will update as this is only the 2nd time using it.

Senzational! Perfect! Great! Buy it!

It does juice leafy veg great but when I put the plastic containers in the dishwasher they went all cloudy. The advise is only juice as much as you will drink in one sitting so I ended up doing a lot of washing up.

This makes beautiful juice it extracts the pulp really well only a small amount gets through, my only gripe is the noise - it is advertised as silent and it is far from this - constant whirring and whistling noises, my ears are ringing by the end of juicing - my braun blender is quieter.

Very good . I use every day

I have had a Philips avance for over a year and as I use it daily thought it was time to upgrade to a slow juicer,spurred on by the fact you can keep the juice for 72 hours.The down side of Kuvings is its a pain to assemble and disassemble.If anything is slightly out of line it wont go together.Im getting the hang of it but its quite stiff to take apart.Its as quick to clean as the Philips was.the juice is more pulpy but you get double the juice than from the Philips and if you hate the thicker juice you can always strain it.Its very quiet and although its called slow it really isn't.You have to learn not push anything down hard but it has a reverse button is anything gets jammed.So far Ive juiced everything except wheatgrass which is my next purchase and its very time saving not having to make a juice everyday but make a big batch up.I looked at few slow juicers and due the fact there is almost no chopping this one won hands down for a lazy bod like meUPDATE my juicer is under a year old and is now faulty.I have been pushed from pillar to post in an effort to get it fixed and have now hit a brick wall.Amazon say it cant be returned and I cant get any further with them and Kuvings say its down to the UK distributor but they are not replying to my emails.Im so frustrated and very angry with all concerned and on that basis I would highly recommend you dont buy thsi product unless you have money to throw away
