Looking to make a fresh start? This juicer is worth the squeeze for making every drop count

If you’re craving a fresh start, the kind that comes with brighter mornings and better habits, the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer feels like a natural place to begin. I’ve been a committed juicer for years (a daily ginger shot is non-negotiable), so I don’t say this lightly: this machine really does juice circles around much of the competition. From the first press, it was clear the Auto10 means business, delivering vibrant, crystal-clear juice with minimal effort on my part. Put simply, it doesn’t just talk the pulp-free talk, it walks the walk (or should I say stalk?)

Kuvings’ reputation alone is often enough to land it a top spot in round-ups of the best juicers, and the Auto10 more than earns its place. Known for high yields and premium engineering, this is a juicer designed to extract every last drop. I barely had to lift a finger thanks to the generous self-feeding hopper, and the results were consistently smooth, fresh and flavour-packed. It’s the kind of performance that makes lesser machines look a bit watered down.

Of course, any serious investment invites comparison, especially in the long-running juciers vs blenders debate. And this is where value really comes into focus. Juicers promise a clean slate: no grit, no pulp, just pure liquid goodness, but that clarity comes at a cost. The Auto10 is undeniably premium, so the real question is whether it delivers enough daily joy (and nutrients) to justify the spend. If you’re ready for a reset and want your health kick to feel effortless, the only thing left to ask is this: is the juice worth the squeeze?

Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer review

Who would the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer suit?

The Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer is, as the name suggests, a slow juicer, also known as a masticating or cold-press model. This style works at a gentler pace than centrifugal juicers, but that slower process pays off in spades: you get higher nutrient retention, fresher-tasting juice that lasts longer in the fridge, and noticeably larger yields, particularly when working with leafy greens, herbs and tougher, fibrous ingredients like celery, kale and ginger. If your juices lean green rather than fruity, this is exactly the kind of machine that will reward you.

That said, slow juicers do tend to sit at the higher end of the price spectrum, which means the Auto10 is best suited to people who are genuinely committed to juicing rather than occasional dabblers. There is a little prep involved, I needed to peel my oranges, for example, but Kuvings strikes a smart balance between performance and practicality. My celery only needed the ends trimmed, and the Auto10 had no trouble powering through whole sticks without stalling or clogging. If you juice regularly, value nutrient density, and want results that feel worth the effort (and the investment), this is a machine designed to go the distance.

It would also suit busy households or anyone who wants the benefits of cold-press juicing without having to hover over the machine. Thanks to its generous auto-feeding hopper, the Auto10 is ideal for batch juicers who like to prep once and juice for several days, whether that’s a fridge full of green juice, post-workout blends, or daily wellness shots. If you’re short on time in the mornings but still want to commit to healthier habits, this hands-free design makes juicing feel far less high-maintenance. It’s especially well suited to families, couples, or anyone following a long-term health routine who wants consistent results, minimal mess, and a juicer that can keep up without constant supervision.

Unboxing the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer

The Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer is a substantial piece of kit, so it comes with the appropriate box to match it. There's no escaping that both the juicer and the packaging are big, but it kept the juicer in perfect condition and I can't see a way that they could have cut down on the size anyway. There are some soft plastics and non-recyclable elements that I would love to swap out for a more eco-conscious alternative, but if you have a large supermarket that accepts soft plastic near you, most of this could go in there.

Taking all the elements out of the box, I was impressed with how premium the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer feels. It strikes an elegant silhouette and all the pieces twist and click together in a satisfyingly substantial way, with helpful arrows and a useful instruction manual to show you what everything is and where it needs to go.

In the box, you'll see the juicer base, the hopper, lid, auger, strainer, rotation wiper and bowl for collecting the juice. Lots of these are already in place, but there's also a pusher for adding ingredients, your juice cup, pulp cup, cleaning tool, cleaning brush, and round brush to keep close by. It sounds like a lot when it's written out, but, in my books, it's the perfect balance of enough for maintenance without being overkill.

You might have spotted online that you can buy extra attachments for making smoothies and sorbets too. Don't worry. It's the next thing on my list.

What is the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer like to use?

Kuvings sends an attractive recipe book if you're not quite sure where to start. It feels like a thoughtful, good quality addition to the array of extras on offer and I had a flip through the recipes, which all offer some nice inspiration.

My overall impressions of the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer were positive. When I was running it, even on some tough and fibrous ingredients, the noise levels didn't go above 61 dB, which won't wake the house if you're making an early start for work or the gym.

the hands-free element promises that you won't have to do much preparation of your ingredients and, as you'll see, the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer delivers on its promises. I was placing whole, peeled oranges in and getting seriously impressive juice out the other end. But that's one spoiler too many. You'll have to keep reading to get the inside scoop on what the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer does with celery.

The motion of the jucing is slow and gentle, as the name would suggest. Don't let that fool you into thinking that it's not getting great extraction though. My pulp was really dry (a great indicator that this was getting as many nutrients as possible out of my ingredients) and there was minimal froth created (more froth means that your juice will go off or oxidise quicker).

I've given you a little spoiler for orange juice. I tested the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer off the back of some specialist citrus juicers, so the orange juice had a lot to live up to. Of course, you'll need to peel the oranges before they go into the Kuvings, but that's where the prep stops. I literally put these in whole and the Kuvings pressed them into an incredible juice. Even better, in comparison to the citrus juicers, I could walk away and leave the Kuvings to work, rather than standing over it with a hand holding my orange in place.

On average, in my tests, I was squeezing 200-300ml of orange juice from four oranges. In the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer, I managed to get a full 400ml, which is a seriously impressive step up. I couldn't quite get my head around how I doubled the yield when I thought the 200ml models had squeezed all that they could, but I won't complain. That's why this is the premium model.

The orange juice was really crisp and clear. There weren't any bits in the drink and, blind tested, it was the top pick for all five of my kitchen assistants. You can't argue with that.

Green juice is a tricky test for lots of other kinds of juicers, but a slow, or masticating, juicer like the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer is quite literally made for this test. I put four celery stalks, which had been halves, with the tops and tails taken off. Then, I put four cored and halved apples in with half a bag of spinach and a lime. There are a lot of textures, fibres, and big chunks for the Kuvings to battle with in there, but it didn't break a sweat.

The green juice also stole top spot against competitors. I yielded 637ml, which is the winner by nearly 150ml of all the other models that I tested. You can see a small amount of foam on the top of the glass, but the green juice, with a squeeze of lime, stayed delicious for five days in the fridge.

Again, the pulp was really dry and almost crumbly, setting a pattern that this gets an impressive yield from any ingredient we threw at it.

My favourite test is ginger shots. Sometimes, I'll juice a simple thumb of ginger with some apple, but I wanted to give this a tougher test. I put foour fingers of ginger (very punchy) in with half a bag of carrots, which had only been topped, tailed and halved. For sweetness, I also put a whole pineapple (cut into chunks) in too. You can see that the juice which came pouring out was crisp, smooth, and perfect.

At the back, the pulp was dry and a surprising amount less than in other tests. The flavours were really zingy and I can't understate how pleased I was that I didn't need to slice carrots into little pieces to fit them in. I thought the ingredients might need a helping hand to work their way through the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer, but they really didn't. When Kuvings called this 'hands-off' they really meant it.

I repeated these recipes, as well as testing grapefruit juice, lemonade, and some other different concoctions over a month and I have to say that I was really impressed. Even smaller details like having the pouring spout at the front made a big difference to how simple and clean this is to use. It works hard, covers enough juice for a family, and looks great. It's really difficult to fault.

Cleaning the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer

Lots of juicers are hard to clean, which will put you off using them, trust me, I've tried to convince myself that a juicer is worth cleaning. You always end up letting it gather dust.

There are a few nooks that need extra attention and the parts do need to be hand-washed, so that the parts don't get damaged. However, you're supplied with everything you might need to set you up for success. The unlockable components loosen fibre and under hot water, you can free up almost all the pulp and fibre.

How does the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer compare?

The Nama J2 and Kuvings have a lot in common both in terms of appearance and functionality. As cold press juicers, they're often pitched against each other. especially as the Nama is £50 cheaper. So which one is worth the squeeze?

When it comes to whipping up big batches of juice, the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer has the edge. The feeding chute is much larger, saving me on all the preparation that I've taken this review as my chance to moan about. I also reaped the rewards of the more powerful motor in the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer, which handled bigger chunks much quieter and more efficiently.

Online, you'll see plenty of people say that they prefer cleaning the Nama J2 Juicer, but I actually found the opposite. There's no denying that the Nama has fewer parts, but there are more niggles and ridges where pulp gets stuck, whereas, after some muscle opening the Kuvings, it's pretty straightforward.

In the Nama's favour, it is a touch more compact and a little lighter than the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer. The overall design is very similar, although I found the Nama a little more attractive on the counter. It has the edge on elegance and symmetry and also feels nicer to twist and click into place.

It's hard to choose between the two and, whilst you won't go wrong with either, you're better off with the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer if you'll do big batches. However, if you're all about elegance, go for the Nama.

Should you buy the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer?

I'm sold on the Kuvings Auto10 Slow Juicer as one of the best cold press juicers of all time. It's designed with all the details in mind, handles large yields exceptionally well, and is really hands-off in terms of prep. The price tag will show you that this is for those who are more serious about juicing, but you can really tell that this is a premium model.

How we test juicers

At woman&home, we have a series of standardised tests that we put all of our juicers through. I like to make a citrus juice (normally orange), a green juice with leafy and fibrous ingredients, (think spinach, kale, and celery), as well as a root juice (carrot and ginger is a personal favourite). This tests the versatility of the juicer and lets me look at each juice's clarity: whether it has bits in, how much froth is churned up, and how dry the leftover pulp is.

After testing lots of different juices, I bring together my thoughts. I'll also compare the juicer to similar models, talk about what they're like to clean, how they compare to similar models on the market, and I'll suggest who should buy it. If you still have questions about whether the juicer would suit.
