KuvingsNS-850 Silent Upright Masticating Juicer, Silver

I could probably write an entire essay on this juicer, but I like to keep reviews short, so I'll just stick to the main reason I love my new Kuvings juicer. If your looking for a juicer that gets all the juice, and you dont mind cutting up the veggies and fruit, you might love this juicer too.Its easy to set up, once you get it. Just line up the red dots...It takes a little practice but after you understand, its so easy.It slowly and gently crushes all of the veggies, including greens, but its easy and powerful. You can tell its well built. I like that I hardly have to do anything except just drop in the pieces. With my Jack LaLaine juicer from Costco, I had to practically force everything through...Plus, the pulp was always really wet, and it just flew everywhere if I wasnt careful...It was a big mess to clean up too. But this one is so different. The pulp flows slowly into the container and stays together, so isnt a mess... I always cut my pieces up when juicing, so I dont mind that the feeder tube isnt huge, This juicer is happiest when you do that. I've never had anything get stuck or had to push the reverse button.If you alternate the greens with harder stuff, it works beautifully. You can tell by the quality of the pulp that most of the juice is being extracted. When you're finished, its a breeze to clean. I am always amazed that it only takes me about 5-7 minutes to clean it. There is a little brush for cleaning the screen. Their is one chute where pulp goes out that always stays stuck, so I use the end of the brush under water and it just washes out.I timed how long it takes me to do orange and apple juice for breakfast, and I was amazed that it was only about 20 minutes. Of course, greens take a bit longer.. My other juicer always took at least 45 minutes to an hour including prep and clean up.I must also mention that this is the quietest juicer I have ever seen. Almost no noise.My old juicer hurt my ears! This was a little more $$, but so worth it!Happy juicing.

I make typical green drinks almost daily. Leafy greens in particular clog this up. Celery, Spinach, Collared greens will clog the chute in next to no time and the machine will start leaking out the bottom and stop working effectively. The juice will in turn be too pulpy (requiring you to use a strainer) and cleaning it after a clog is a nightmare.I do find that cutting celery into 1/2" bite sized chunks and even chopping kale up a bit helps prevent clogs, and it only clogs about one out of every ten times or so. The rest of the time it's quite enjoyable to use. Would be great if the internal parts were dishwasher-safe - although you get quite quick at cleaning it, it's still a chore.I purchased this item instead of the Omega VRT (which has a better reputation) purely for vanity reasons - I thought this one would look better on my tabletop.It's not perfect, but manageable and I still probably wouldn't have another juicer. My friend has an Omega and his clogs up sometimes too.

Best thing about this juicer it is quite compare to others I have used.As far as performance it's about the same as other less expensive competitors.Cons - is the price and cleaning. Difficult to clean and it stains. I use it every day.Now that I had this product for over 6 months I can honestly say this is the worst juicer I have ever used or any small appliance that I have ever bought for 350.00.Within the first month it began working intermittently. I have contacted Amazon for a return label, but never got one.Instead of liquid juice I'm getting a cup full of pulp. The plastic bowl has cracked and chipped in 2 places. This is not a product for everyday use. If you're planing to use this juicer every day as I do, don't waste your money. Just bought Breville with stainless steel bowl. Works like a charm, much more simpler to assemble, no plastic to stain and not any more noisier that Kuvings disaster.

From all the positive reviews, I thought I had found the right juicer for me, but it turned out to be a very disappointing experience. I think the major flaw in this machine is a small/narrow opening the pulp must travel through to drop into the pulp collector. Because of the narrow space, the pulp clogged up easily and where do you think the excess pulp ended up? That's right, in my juice! It wasn't a small amount of pulp either. The juice tasted horrible and I used all the same vegetables I normally do. Also, this type of juicer was supposed to generate less foam, however I found it produced MORE foam than my old centrifugal juicer. It was a nice looking machine, fairly quiet (although a little sickly sounding), and took up less space on my countertop... but bad juice is just bad juice.
