Hurom HP Slow Juicer (Personal Series) Review

Making the perfect juice is tough. There are plenty of ways that your juice can go wrong - you can have too much pulp, it can have a grainy texture, it can also be very watery and have less flavor than you’d like.

This is why it’s important to have a decent quality juicer in your kitchen.

The Hurom HP Slow Juicer (Personal Series) is one of the best products on the market for retaining the nutritional value of your organic matter.

It also blends your juice super smooth, mimicking the quality of a hand-pressed juicer, which keeps as much of the original flavor and vitamins in your juice as possible.

This is in contrast to centrifugal juicers, which work a lot quicker, but definitely lose a lot of flavors and natural goodness in the process.

These juicers are better for people who are in a rush in the morning and might not be too concerned about the vitamin levels of their juice.

However, if you are conscious about getting the most out of your juicer, then you’ll want one that does not waste a drop of energy. This will be particularly important to health freaks and fitness fanatics.

Well, don’t worry, with its compact design and kitchen-friendly aesthetic, we can guarantee that the Hurom HP Slow Juicer is the best on the market.

But what features does it have to give you the best juice? What materials does it have to make sure that you will be able to clean it thoroughly between every juicing session? How much will one of these juicers set you back?

Well, don’t worry, because we’ve got the answers to all of these questions and more!

How Good Is The Quality Of The Juice?

The juicing content of this masticator is a lot slower than some of the other units on this list, however, the main plus point of this juicer is the gradual mastication system.

It uses SST (Slow Squeeze Technology) to break down your fruits and veg in such a way that it will preserve as much of the nutrient content as possible.

Most centrifugal juicers expel a lot of wet pulp, meaning that is some juice that you won’t be ingesting. A masticating juicer like the Hurom HP Slow Juicer expels a dry pulp, meaning there is far more juice and goodness in your cup at the end of a juicing session!

This means that your final juice will ultimately be packed full of delicious vitamins and minerals. It will also have reduced pulp content, enough to be able to strain through a sieve at the end of your process.

The shelf life of your juice will also be massively extended with this juicer. With plenty of accompanying containers, including glass and plastic materials, you can keep the juice in your fridge chilled for up to 72 hours. However, we would recommend that you leave an inch of room at the top of the container to avoid spillages.

This juicer has also been designed to reduce the amount of oxidation, as this can damage the enzymes that are inherent in the juice itself. Centrifugal juicers produce a high degree of heat, which will kill a lot of the enzymes in your juicer. This is something that you’ll want to avoid.

How Easy Is The Hurom HP Slow Juicer To Use?

The Hurom HP Juicer is very easy to get set up, with very few individual components. You probably won’t even need to look at the manual when you’re assembling this juicer for the very first time.

The overall weight of the unit is 15.9-pounds, which might make it tricky for senior users or those with mobility problems.

We would recommend that when you find a place for your blender, that you leave it situated there for the duration of its existence in your kitchen. However, you can pick it up if you need to, you just might have to put a bit of backbone into lifting it.

When it comes to feeding your vegetables or fruits into this juicer, all you have to do is drop it into the chute and let gravity do the rest. Although remember that you’ll need to slice or at least chop your larger vegetables in half before juicing.

The feeding chute of this juicer is naturally narrower to prevent fingers from being put inside it. We would recommend that you chop fibrous tendons such as celery into inch-long chunks, as the tendons of it might get caught up in the augurs.

If you want to avoid this juicer from sticking, then maintain a steady pace when feeding the whole matter into the chute. This is not a machine for rushing, so if you anticipate making juice in a hurry, then we would recommend you pick another model.

However, this machine does have a mechanism that you can use to unclog jamming, simply manually winding the augurs in the opposite direction to dislodge the hard matter that has accumulated between the gears.

How Easy Is The Horum HP Slow Juicer To Clean?

As this machine is very intricate, we would suggest that you clean the machine by hand. It comes with plenty of cleaning brushes, with long handles and sturdy bristles that will allow you to get in the harder-to-reach places.

If you want to clean the juicing strainer, then we would suggest that you use the spinning brush to dislodge the excess while it is submerged in warm water.

This unit comes with both small and large brushes, which will make the cleaning operation a lot quicker and simpler. This will lead to increased efficiency of juicing as well as improve the overall longevity of your juicer.

To give the Hurom a deep clean, simply disassemble all the parts you can and submerge them in hot, soapy water for half an hour. Then use the brushes provided to scrub off the hardened matter when it is loose. We would recommend that you clean as soon after use as possible.

Also: clean the pulp nozzle, as this is the area where the most waste matter is exuded. Having this clogged might cause your juicer to back up and leak juice into the motor area, which is the last place you’ll want any liquids!
