Kuving's REVO830 Cold Press Juicer

• Best choice: Juicer for long fruits and vegetables
• Type: Masticating (Slow Juicer)
• Weight: 7.5 kg
• Power: 200 W
• Why we love it: Two filling openings for long and round fruits and vegetables

Carrots, cucumbers, and celery are among the most popular ingredients for juicing. The Kuvings REVO830 features two feed chutes —one for long fruits and vegetables and a second, 88 mm wide (one of the largest openings on the market), so you can easily fit a whole apple. The auto-cutting function means virtually no ingredient prep work, and the all-around cleaning brush makes cleanup a breeze.

At 48 cm tall, it won't fit under every kitchen wall cabinet combination, and at 7.5 kg, it's not the lightest juicer. But it's one of the few models available in different colors – perfect for matching it to your kitchen.

Additionally, citrus and smoothie attachments can be purchased separately. Depending on the country, a long-term warranty is offered, demonstrating Kuvings' commitment to quality.

Why a good juicer is important:
With so many models and features available, the selection can be overwhelming. Since the best juicers often cost several hundred euros, it's worth making the right choice.

Juicers have been around since the 1930s, invented by Dr. Norman Walker. He drank juice from his own machines his entire life and lived to the impressive age of 108 – a testament to the power of juice!

The advantages of juicing:

• An easy way to reach the "5 a day" goal
• Ideal for meal prep
• Rapid absorption of vitamins and minerals, as juicing removes a large portion of the fiber.

The three main types of juicers:

• Centrifugal juicers: These work with rotating baskets and are good for hard vegetables.
• Masticating (Slow Juicer): Imitates the chewing motion and presses the juice – quieter and more nutrient-preserving.
• Triturating: Uses gears for crushing and pressing, leaving very dry pomace.

Modern juicers can do more than just make juice: sorbets, chopping vegetables, or grinding nuts are often additional functions. When choosing one, you should pay attention to juice yield, ease of use, cleaning, and price .
