Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer B6000S - Higher Nutrients and Vitamins BPA-Free Components Easy to Clean Ultra Efficient 240W

The showing of an entire apple going through in the picture is a little deceiving since only small apples can fit through the 3" wide diameter shoot. I find it difficult to find apples this size so usually they need to be cut into fourths. Not so bad when compared to my last juicer with which I had to cut them into sixths. However whole cucumbers (even thick ones), lemons, carrots... all these slide right through whole! This thing is also really quiet! My last juicer was also a "silent" juicer but even though it was less loud than most it still sounded like cats screeching. Neighbors in my building get disturbed easily so I couldn't use it during certain times, but this juicer is quiet enough that I've had no problems using it in the middle of the night without disturbing them. The smart cap is genius. Sometimes I end up making a little too much juice for the glass I'm using and just when the glass is about to overflow I can close the cap to leave the rest in the juicer for a couple of minutes until I get another glass. It also prevents dripping on the counter. Clean-up is a breeze. So much so that I find it almost fun to clean. I used to have an older Kuvings model and I didn't stay with it long because of certain things I didn't like. One of those things being the auger which was a pain to dismount and mount because it was short and almost the same height/width as the surrounding filter- which meant and I couldn't get my fingers down on the auger enough to pull it out easily. This auger is much taller and juts out of the filter by a good few inches so all you have to do is wrap your fingers around that and it comes right out. A quick rinse of the parts is all it takes. The filter takes me about 2 minutes to clean with the brush and the end of the brush is great for getting any debris out of the pulp shoot in the housing. All together it takes me about 4-5 minutes to clean; no exaggeration. Though it may take less or more time depending on what it is you juice. I usually do cucumbers,apples,turnips and turnip greens, Kale, garlic, ginger, parsley and lemon. Crushes it all like a dream. The manual says it can do wheatgrass and Almonds as well, but I haven't tried those things. There is very little foam in the juice and the pulp is nice and dry. This juicer also comes with an extra attachment for making deserts like frozen fruit treats and crushing ice. Really there is just nothing bad I can say about this juicer. It's perfect. The only thing missing is that it doesn't chill the juice for you! As no juicer has yet been invented that can do that, I just place the juice in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to get it nice and chilled before drinking. Update: Sept/20/2014 I recently started using the blank strainer to make sorbet deserts. OMG- Delicious! It doesn't seem to matter what kind of froze fruits you put in - banana, strawberry, mango, cherries, etc.... It all comes out tasting like the best sorbet icecream you've ever had! The juicer continues to work great. The only issue I've had is with the pusher. I washed it in the dishwasher (as I often do with all the parts), but for some reason the pusher expanded permanently while in the dishwasher and it warped in such a way that it no longer fits in the shoot. I contacted Kuvings about a replacement and am still waiting to hear back from them. I guess the lesson here is- don't put the pusher in the dishwasher. Read more

Like a lot of folks, we wanted to start juicing to get more vegetables in our diet. We wanted to get something easy to use and maintain, built to last, that produced the best quality juice, especially from leafy greens. It seemed that we couldn't have it all, you either had to choose between the convenience of a centrifugal, or the higher quality juicing of a masticating juicer. Right when we were about to pull the trigger and get a Breville, the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer hit the market, the first slow masticating juicer with a large feed chute! Suddenly, there was a product that had everything we were looking for. We've been using it virtually every day for the past month and couldn't be happier. Build Quality and Warranty Very solidly built, uses a 240W motor, which can handle most anything you can throw at it. Since it churns at low speed, operation is nice and quiet. Lots of thoughtful touches, like the smart cap and dots to help align the parts for assembly. Warranty is 10 years "bumper to bumper", excl. normal wear and tear. Also included are cleaning utensils, smoothie strainer, and recipe book. Ease of Use With the large feed chute, you can reduce prep time since in many cases you can push whole fruits and vegetables in. However, stringy vegetables, such as celery and parsley, should still be cut to ~2" portions, as I've found that otherwise they can clog the exit chute. There are only 5 parts to assemble and clean (plus the pusher), so clean up generally takes me 6-10 minutes. It's a "slow" juicer, but it's quite efficient. Usually, it takes only about a minute or two to get a 12 oz glass of power greens (kale, spinach, celery, apple, etc). Juice Quality We mostly juice leafy greens, and it does a phenomenal job! Judging by the minimal quantity of dry pulp that is left behind, it is a very efficient extractor, with very little froth. We've had success with a wide variety of other material -- carrots, apples, pears, beets, watermelon, ginger. The only things it doesn't juice well are soft, fleshy fruits, such as ripe mango or peaches. You get the juice, but there is also a fair amount of wet pulp left behind. Overall Impression We knew that our best chance of consistently juicing was to get a no-hassle juicer. With it's reduced prep time, ease of use and cleaning, and the high quality of juice produced, this juicer absolutely hits it out of the park. Highly recommend the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer. Read more
