I picked this up as a smaller, everyday option to complement a much larger juicer I already own. I use my bigger machine when I am making large batches for cooking or canning, but for regular daily juicing it is honestly more work than it is worth. This one has filled that gap perfectly. What I like most is how easy it is to set up and use. It takes just a few minutes to assemble and get going, which makes it much more realistic to use in the morning or whenever I find a small amount of produce I want to juice. I often grab discounted fruit and vegetables that are slightly overripe, and this size is ideal when there is not enough to justify pulling out a large appliance. The feeding chute is wide enough that I do not have to spend much time chopping ingredients down. It handles apples, carrots, and celery without issue, and the juice extraction has been very good. The pulp comes out fairly dry, which tells me it is doing a solid job pulling out the juice. Occasionally I will run a little water through at the end, depending on what I am juicing, just to get the last bit out. Another big plus is how quiet it is. Compared to my larger juicer, this one is much easier on the ears, which I really appreciate early in the day. It also comes apart easily and cleans up without much effort, which makes me far more likely to use it regularly instead of letting it sit on the counter. Read more
I ordered the Havato cold press juicer in silver. It looks nice in my kitchen next to the stainless appliances. Juicers work similarly - you wash your fruit and/or vegetables and insert into the main compartment where the machine separates the liquid from the pulp. I prefer removing peels from citrus, vegetables grown in the earth (or you can wash them really well), and tougher skins like pineapple and bananas. Also, thick seeds that might break your machine (think cherry). What’s great about cold press juicers is they don’t destroy nutrients like vitamins and they don’t oxidize (affects taste). But this takes longer than centrifugal juicers. I normally don’t like juicing because the machines are generally big and take up a lot of countertop space plus they're often difficult to clean. The Havato machine, however, is narrow and sleek and is easy to take apart to clean. I also like how the pulp comes out dry, which is easy to dispose of or compost. My favorite item to juice is carrots. I adore carrot juice! I also like juicing items for my kombucha so I don’t have to deal with the pulp in my drinks (especially ginger). The output container is great as it stores a considerable amount of pulp. The juice container is large too. And, there are rubber grips on its base to hold the machine in place. As for value, I ordered the juicer when it had a lower price, which fell in line with similar machines. I am struggling with its current pricing. Overall the Havato cold press juicer makes a great and healthy product, has a sleek design, is easy to clean, and great storage. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I’m extremely happy with this cold press juicer! The 5.4” extra wide feed chute is a total game changer. I can put in whole fruits and larger pieces of vegetables without spending a ton of time chopping everything up first. It powers through a large amount of produce pretty quickly, which makes meal prep so much easier. Though so mine does not have to work so hard I do peel, core, and remove seeds just to preserve the life of my unit. The juice yield is impressive. It really feels like I’m getting the most out of my fruits and veggies with very little waste. It runs surprisingly quiet too, which I appreciate in the mornings. Cleanup is simple and stress-free. It’s very easy to take apart, wash, and put back together again. The silver color looks sleek and modern, and it doesn’t take up much space on my counter at all, perfect for smaller kitchens. Overall, this juicer has made it so much easier to stick to a healthier lifestyle. I use it almost every day and couldn’t be more satisfied with my purchase! Read more
I've been on the lookout for a really efficient juicer for a while, and this one has absolutely delivered. From the moment I started using it, I've been impressed by how seamlessly it integrates into my daily routine. The quality of the juice produced is exceptional; it's vibrant, smooth, and genuinely tastes like the purest essence of the fruits and vegetables. It's clear that the slow masticating process works wonders in extracting every bit of goodness, ensuring maximum flavor and nutrition in every glass. One of the standout features is undeniably the incredibly wide feed chute. Being able to drop in whole apples or large chunks of produce without tedious pre-chopping saves so much time and effort. This alone makes the juicing experience so much more enjoyable and less of a chore. Coupled with this convenience is the impressive juice yield. I've noticed a significant reduction in waste compared to other machines I've used, which truly makes a difference in getting the most from my ingredients. Plus, it operates remarkably quietly, which is a huge bonus in the mornings. Cleaning and assembly are often the dreaded parts of owning a juicer, but not with this one. The design is remarkably user-friendly; components snap together effortlessly, and taking them apart for a quick rinse under the tap is equally simple. The included cleaning brush is a thoughtful touch that helps get into all the nooks and crannies without any struggle. It's a testament to good design when the cleanup process is as straightforward as the juicing itself, making me want to use it more often and embrace a healthier lifestyle. Read more
