Honest Hurom Juicer Review

Wondering if the Hurom H310A is the right slow juicer for you? Do you wanna know if the self-feeding and easy-clean technologies are as promising as they sound, or if it's too good to be true? I've been using this juicer for a year and will walk you through everything I love about it and some pain points I have found.

The specifics

• First patented vertical cold press juicer: I have to admit that the design of the Hurom H310A is one of the features that caught my eye! But the technology is even more impressive considering that the juicer has no blades or sharp parts and yet does an incredible job at crushing ingredients.
• Only 5 parts: Next to the motor base, the juicer is composed of the hopper where you put the ingredients, the chamber that holds the screw, and the screw that is made of 2 different parts. This minimalistic design makes it so easy and intuitive to assemble and disassemble.
• All-in-one multipurpose screw: It squeezes the ingredients and strains the juice at the same time.
• BPA-free plastic: All the plastic elements are made of food-safe BPA-free plastic and are very sturdy.

What I love about the Hurom H310A slow juicer

1. The juicer is very quiet, especially compared to a centrifugal juicer. You can still have a conversation while it's turned on, unlike a turned-on blender. I'd even dare to say that it's quiet enough to use when you have a child napping next door.
2. It has a hopper vs a feeding chute: This juicer has a so-called "self-feeding technology", meaning that you can put all your ingredients in the hopper at once and the juicer will take care of the rest. No need to feed one ingredient after the other through a feeding chute. This means that you have your hands free to prepare breakfast or clear out the dishwasher while it's juicing.
3. It's truly easy to clean: Rinsing it under running cold water is enough to remove all the bits of juice pulp most of the time (no joke!). Then, you can put the pieces in the dishwasher or give them a quick scrub with a sponge or the brush that comes with the juicer. The "easy-to-clean" claim is most definitely true!
4. You can open up the discharge cover (the part where the juice pulp comes out). This makes it super easy to get every bit of juice pulp out.
5. The screw has a practical reverse mode: In case something gets stuck, you can run the screw in reverse mode, which unblocks the jam every single time. It's very useful when juicing hard ingredients such as carrots and ginger.
6. It's very compact: The body is very slim body and the height is pretty low compared to other slow juicers. It doesn't take up a lot of space on the kitchen counter or you can store it easily in kitchen cupboards. You can even detach the power cable for easy storage, which I like.
7. The juice pulp is really dry: This means the juicer does a great job at extracting juice. A dry juice pup is also amazing for recipes. You can use it in energy balls, popsicles, vegetable fritters, veggie burgers, and even flatbread bases. All the recipes are in my Juicing With Elo eBook.
8. You can make nut milk, oat milk, and sorbets with the Hurom H310A slow juicer. I'm still experimenting with these functions though.

The pain points

1. There are some bits and pieces left in the juice: This is due to the fact that the juicer comes with an all-in-one screw versus an extraction part and a mesh strainer. But it's also the reason the juicer is super easy to clean. I solved this problem by placing the fine-mesh strainer over the container that collects the juice. I can simply rinse it out after juicing or place it in the dishwasher.

1. Stains: Root vegetables like turmeric and beetroot do stain the plastic chamber. However, the stains are barely visible thanks to the dark grey color of the plastic and they fade over time.
2. It's not made for families: This juicer is perfect for making juices for 1-2 people (which is my case). Anything above that, I'd recommend having a look at Hurom's other juicers, such as the Hurom H400.
3. Price: It's a high-end juicer that comes with a considerable price tag. However, I'd argue that it's worth the investment if you plan to juice regularly (see how it compares to other juicers below).
4. Preparation time: I've noticed that you have to cut the ingredients into smaller pieces compared to other juicers, which does require a bit more preparation time. Personally, I now "juice prep" for the week ahead and don't mind this minor inconvenience at all. You can read all about juice prepping in my Juicing With Elo eBook.

My conclusion

The Hurom H310A is incredibly quiet, robust, easy to use, and much easier to clean than any other juicer I've tried before (and I've tried 3 different ones). It definitely holds up to the self-feeding and easy-to-clean marketing claims.

It's also really small, compact, and stylish. I highly recommend it, if you're juicing for 1-2 people and if it fits your budget.

Truly, the only real downside I have found is that there can sometimes be some bits and pieces in the juice – a problem that's very easy to solve with a fine-mesh sieve. To me, the easy-to-clean aspect is much more important.

I've been making juices almost daily and never once skipped juicing because the juicer was too complicated too clean or too bulky to take out of the cupboard (which was the case with my previous centrifugal juicer)–that's a pretty huge win if you ask me.
