[ UK Juicers ] A comprehensive look at Kuvings best juicer yet

Kuvings Revo830 Detailed Review

When we compared the Kuvings Revo830 with other leading cold-press juicers, we were surprised to find that it actually produced more juice under controlled conditions. We thought the efficiency of masticating juicers was reaching its limits, but we were wrong.

In juicers with an auger, like the Kuving REVO830, the juice is forced against a metal sieve by a rotating crushing force. The auger grinds the ingredients into smaller and smaller pieces by pulling them further and further along the auger until a paste is formed, which is then forced under high pressure against the fine end of the sieve in the next pressing stage. This crushing and compression of the plant material releases the cellular nutrients for a better cold-pressed, more nutrient-rich juice. As you can imagine, this process involves considerable force, which is why the juicer must be very robust.

Designing a juicer that works this way requires a compromise between several factors to ensure it meets the exact requirements. The material of the auger and sieve must be strong enough, but also flexible enough to handle the crushing forces. The motor must have sufficient torque to press the fruit into the ever-shrinking space where the juice is extracted. And the whole thing must function under extreme pressure inside the device without damaging the juicer itself. No easy task.

How we test juicers

This is a sensitive topic for us. Some of the published video reviews, where so-called "experts" may favor one juicer over another instead of being as objective as possible, are upsetting to us. Sometimes what we see looks like obvious misleading information, and sometimes the manipulation of what we see is too subtle for the untrained eye, so people accept it in good faith.

We test under controlled conditions, using only one ingredient from the same batch, weighed to the exact gram. We strain the juice to objectively assess how much pulp passed through the juice outlet rather than the pulp outlet. Then, we not only measure the volume of the juice but also weigh it to the exact gram to eliminate errors that can occur when calibrating different measuring cups.

Kuvings REVO830 juice test results

Following our rigorous testing criteria, we tested the Kuvings REVO830 against its three closest competitors in premium slow juicer technology using the same batch of ingredients—in this case, a uniform batch of carrots. We strained the juice in each case, measured the volume, and weighed the juice for confirmation. The Revo produced 2.9%, 3.5%, and 4.1% more juice than its three closest competitors, respectively. This means that over time, the Revo likely offers better value for the juicing ingredients.

If you value a very high juice yield—who doesn't?—then we believe the Kuvings REVO830 is the most powerful vertical slow juicer yet. But it has more than just pure performance as its winning feature...

The Kuvings Revo830 offers two incremental but significant improvements that set it apart from other vertical slow juicers. It saves significant time normally spent preparing ingredients and delivers a higher juice yield.

It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. Given rampant inflation in 2023, we expect further price increases for our juicers, so perhaps it's a good thing that the less frequently used accessories are optional and not included. The REVO will ultimately pay for itself through its reliability and reduced ingredient waste. And when you compare its contribution to a healthy lifestyle to that of a coffee maker, it's actually not that expensive.

What design will be the next slow juicer? It's a close call at the moment, but in our opinion, the Kuvings REVO830 has the edge.
