Kuvings AUTO10S review: a hands-free slow juicer for big batches

This Kuvings juicer review looks at the AUTO10S, the Korean brand's hands-free slow juicer and its most talked-about model in recent years. Kuvings is best known for whole slow juicers such as the EVO820, which have wide feed chutes for whole apples. The AUTO10 series goes further: you load a big hopper with whole produce, close the lid, and the machine cuts and feeds it for you.

Kuvings sells several versions, including the AUTO10S and the newer AUTO10 Plus, which adds extra accessories. Based on Kuvings' specifications, published reviews from Homes & Gardens and TechRadar, and owner reports, here is how the AUTO10S performs and who it suits.

Design and build

The AUTO10S is a tall, solid machine at about 46 cm high and 7.5 kg. Reviewers describe the build as sturdy and premium, with parts that align with arrow markings and lock together firmly. The juice cup sits at the front and the pulp cup at the side, so you need a bit of clearance around it.

The standout part is the 3-litre hopper. Instead of pushing produce down a narrow chute, you drop in whole ingredients and close the lid. A double crushing blade and automatic cutting system pull the food down to the auger, and a triple interlock stops the motor if the parts are not assembled correctly.

Key features: why hands-free matters

Hands-free feeding is the reason to choose this model. You can load the hopper, press start and do something else while it works through a large batch. There is an extra slot for adding ingredients during juicing, a smart cap for easier dispensing, and a wider pulp outlet that makes it easier to clear fibre.

The machine runs at a slow 50 RPM, the style of juicing often called cold press. With the right strainer and attachments, it can also make smoothies, sorbets and plant milks.

• 3 L hopper for whole produce
• Automatic cutting and feeding
• 50 RPM slow pressing
• Smart cap and extra feeding slot
• Optional citrus, smoothie and sorbet attachments

Performance: juice quality and noise

Homes & Gardens tested green juice, orange-carrot-turmeric juice and ginger shots. It reported very dry pulp, a sign of good extraction, and smooth juice with little fibre. Whole carrots and stringy ginger were handled without trouble, and the tester made around 30 ginger shots in one batch. The juicer measured about 61 dB during use, which is quiet for a kitchen appliance.

TechRadar's review of the AUTO10 Plus reached similar conclusions: juicing is easy and versatile, but the machine is bulky. Some owners find hands-free juicing a little slow, which is the trade-off for gentle pressing.

Cleaning and storage

Cleaning is the main drawback. None of the parts are dishwasher-safe, and there are several components to rinse and brush. Kuvings recommends running water through the machine straight after use, then cleaning each part under the tap with the supplied brushes. Reviewers say it becomes routine once you know how the parts come apart.

Storage needs planning. The AUTO10S is tall and heavy, so most owners leave it on the counter. TechRadar found the AUTO10 Plus too tall to fit under its wall cupboards.

AUTO10S vs EVO820 and Hurom

The Kuvings EVO820 is a more traditional whole slow juicer with an 82 mm round chute and a smaller footprint. It costs less, but you feed it by hand. Hurom's slow juicers, including its hands-free models, are the closest rivals and are often compared directly with Kuvings. If you juice only occasionally, a chute-fed model is enough. If you batch juice several times a week, the AUTO10S saves real time.

Who should buy the Kuvings AUTO10S?

It suits people who juice often, make large batches for the week or dislike chopping. It is less suitable for small kitchens, occasional juicers or anyone who wants dishwasher-safe parts. Warranty terms vary by country, so check the cover offered by your local Kuvings distributor before buying.

Tips for using a hands-free slow juicer

Load hard and soft ingredients in layers so the cutter keeps pulling produce down evenly, and cut very long items such as carrots or celery in half. Remove large, hard stones from fruit such as mangoes or peaches before juicing to protect the auger and blade.

Leafy greens juice best when packed between firmer produce such as apples or cucumbers. Kuvings lists a maximum continuous running time of under 30 minutes, so let the motor rest during very large sessions. Rinse the machine by running water through it right after juicing, before pulp dries on the strainer, and store fresh juice in a sealed glass bottle in the fridge, drinking it as soon as possible for the best taste.

Frequently asked questions

The Kuvings AUTO10S takes most of the effort out of juicing. Its hopper swallows whole produce, the slow auger produces smooth juice with dry pulp, and it runs quietly. The price, size and hand-wash cleaning are real drawbacks, so it makes most sense for people who juice regularly and in volume. For them, it is one of the most convenient juicers you can buy in 2026.
