Women'sHealth review: A juicer of the highest quality

This "high-quality juicer" can produce juices, smoothies, plant-based drinks, nut butters, sorbets, and more. The Kuvings Revo 830 is a true asset to your kitchen. 

When I opened the box, I almost cried. Inside was a Kuvings Revo 830, or, as I would describe it, "the pinnacle of juicers." 

I've been a juice enthusiast for almost half my life, buying my first juicer when I was around 22. My initial love of juicing—which stemmed from a desire to make refreshing strawberry daiquiris (lol)—evolved over time, with the fruity, sticky concoctions being replaced by green juices as I developed an interest in the alkaline diet recommended by Elle McPherson, and later to this day, when I make a celery juice almost daily. 

In between, I've dabbled in juicing whole, raw beets (great for getting rid of a hangover as quickly as possible, if you can stand the smell), carrots (the pulp is delicious in an incredibly moist carrot cake), and for a while, I even juiced broccoli and spinach to see if cold juice was comparable to soup (not recommended).

Over the years, centrifugal, masticating, and cold-press juicers have found their way onto my countertop—but getting my hands on a Kuvings has always been a dream of mine.

I've been using the Kuvings REVO830 regularly for the past six weeks. Here's my honest review... 

What is so special about the Kuvings REVO830? 

According to the experts at UK Juicers, it's considered the best celery juicer on the market, which I was most pleased about, but it also has several attachments that elevate it beyond a simple cold press juicer.

These are: 

- Smoothie strainer (This part is called "Smoothie Filter" in Kuvings Germany)

- Citrus press (CITRUS PRESS on Kuvings.de)

- The homogenizer - for ice cream and sorbet (sorbet filter on Kuvings.de)

- It has two feeding chutes, one large enough for a whole apple and an oblong one ideal for carrots and celery.

The juicer is built around a central "auger" that propels ingredients through the top of the machine into the central juicing chamber. It's incredibly powerful and also acts as a "chopper," breaking fruits and vegetables into smaller pieces before juicing, eliminating the need to pre-cut them. 

It also doesn't take up much space. Unlike some other juicers, which are horizontal, the Kuvings REVO830 is vertically oriented. And since it can also juice grapefruits, oranges, and lemons, you can get rid of any other citrus juicers you may have, saving even more space in your cupboard or on your countertop. 

Is it good for celery juice? 

I've seen many juicers struggle with crunchy, stringy celery stalks—and nearly choke on the random strands of fiber. I can wholeheartedly say that this hasn't happened to me at all when juicing celery with the Kuvings REVO830. 

Can you make good smoothies with it? 

As I learned all those years ago while juicing strawberries one basket at a time during my "fresh daiquiri phase," berries don't pack a lot of juice. But when it comes to smoothies, they're ideal.

With the smoothie strainer attachment, I only had to pour in 200 ml of almond milk before adding a handful of strawberries (regular red ones, not the white ones) and a chopped banana. It was delicious and ready in seconds. 

Is the device easy to clean? 

Juicers are notoriously difficult to clean after use, and despite my enthusiasm, the Kuvings is no different. Because some components are made of BPA-free plastic, it's not dishwasher safe, but it does come with a handy cleaning device that makes it easy to scrub away residue after use. A patented rotating brush is included for cleaning the filter. 

My final conclusion? 

The Kuvings REVO830 isn't cheap. But looking back on my life as a juicer, I've spent more than double that amount on cheaper models that burned out, cracked, or lost power.

The additional attachments for making smoothies, nut milk and butter, and sorbets offer the opportunity to be more creative and use the device for more than just a fresh, enzyme-rich juice.

If you're serious about juicing for health and want a sturdy, reliable, and powerful machine that can keep up with you, then this is a great option.
