The Hurom Slow Juicer has taken the principle of the popular horizontal auger masticating juicers and turned it around so that the auger is positioned vertically instead of horizontally.

By doing so the Hurom slow juicer is able to take up less space on your worktop but still produce the quality juice that you expect from a masticating juicer.

Unlike a centrifugal juicer the slow moving auger on the Hurom slow juicer gentle rotates squeezing and pulping the fruit and vegetables until all the juice is extracted. The pulp is ejected into one container and the juice into another.

Compared to a centrifugal juicer you can see immediately the difference in the quality of the juice it produces. It is more rich and full and doesn’t seperate out into different components.

Whilst it won’t win any competitions for speed when compared to a model such as the Breville 800jexl it does produce a better drink and is ideally suited to leafy greens and wheatgrass which most centrifugal juicers cannot handle.

Extracting juice slowly in this manner also makes the juice more nutritious. The juice is less oxidized and therefore fresher and tastier whilst retaining the essential nutrients and vitamins that you were after in the first place. Although slow juice will keep longer it is recommended that you drink it soon after making so that you reap the most health benefits.

Hurom Slow Juicer Video Review

In the following video you’ll see the Hurom slow juicer in action against a regular centrifugal juicer. Note the quality of the juice it produces.

Hurom Slow Juicer 3rd Generation

At the time of writing the Hurom Slow Juicer is now in its 3rd generation model. The main difference between the 3rd generation model and previous designs is that the filter screen has been upgraded to a stronger material. The plastic screen on previous models was prone to cracking. The new enhanced screen is now 8x stronger due to using GE Ultem material

Pros

• Excellent all round masticating juicer
• Quiet, quick and easy to clean
• Two stage juicing to remove as much juice as possible
• Small footprint compared to horizontal masticating juicers

Cons

• Only 1 year warranty on parts (except motor which is 10 years)
• Vertical auger is prone to squeaking and clogging when juicing wheatgrass
• White plastic casing can stain easily with dark juices

Hurom Slow Juicer vs Omega 8006

Feed chute is a little smaller on the Omega 8006 compared to the Hurom slow juicer so it takes a little longer to process a lot of produce. You will find that you also need to push the vegetables into the chute on the Omega 8006, something that also wasn’t necessary with the Hurom.

The Hurom juicer is about $50 more expensive than the Omega 8006 and is does take longer to clean. If you are quick at cleaning then you should be able to clean the Omega 806 in about two minutes. The Hurom slow juicer will take about twice that time to clean. This is mainly due to the extra time it takes to lean the screen and remove excess produce from the chute.

When it comes to juicing wheatgrass both machines perform well but the Hurom slow juicer tends to emit a squeaking noise due to having a vertical auger.

Overall the Hurom Slow Juicer is faster and more expensive than the Omega 8006 and is suited to someone that juices a lot of fruit and vegetables. If you juice a lot of wheatgrass then a juicer with a horizontal auger is probably more suited to the job.

Hurom Slow Juicer vs Omega VRT330

Are you confused as to whether you should buy a Hurom slow juicer or an Omega VRT330 and why do they look so similar? The short answer is that they are basically the same juicer but under a different brand name. Both are made in the same factory in Korea and have many parts in common.

Differences are minimal but there are several versions of the Omega VRT330 so you should look closely at the model numbers. The Omega VRT330 is the same as the 2nd generation of the Hurom juicer so basically it is missing the new high strength screen. The Omega VRT330HD or heavy duty is comparable to the 3rd generation Hurom HU-100. The Hurom is slight cheaper and comes with a white and lime green casing whereas the Omega VRT330HD is white and silver.

One big difference between the Omega and Hurom is the warranty period. Both juicers have the same ten (10) year warranty on the motor but the Hurom only has a one year warranty for the other parts whereas the Omega caries a full 10 year warranty on all parts. Based on the warranty period you would be better off with an Omega VRT350HD for the same price.

Hurom Slow Juicer Reviews from Customers

What are other users of the Hurom HU-100 slow juicer saying? Overall customer reviews are very positive with the majority of people rating it 5 out of 5 quoting the ease of use, quickness of juicing and durability of the machine are strong points. Most of the negative comments concern its ability to juice fibrous vegetables due to issues with them becoming clogged around the auger unless they are cut into small pieces before inserting. As a wheatgrass juicer it works but does not perform particularly well.

One user commented on the lack of spare parts available in the USA.

Overall Impression of the Hurom Slow Juicer

The Hurom HU-100 slow juicer is a good all round single auger masticating juicer that is quiet and quick at juicing. It performs best on regular fruits and vegetables and although it can juice leafy greens including wheatgrass this is not it’s strong point. The vertical alignment of the auger means that these types of fibrous vegetables tend to wind around the auger clogging it and eventually becoming stuck.

It is in direct competition from the Omega VRT330HD and the improved VRT350HD for the same price. Both of the Omega models come with a full 10 year warranty on both the motor and parts which is a great improvement on the miserly 1 year warranty for the Hurom parts.

If you plan on mainly juicing wheatgrass or leafy greens then you are better off purchasing a juicer with a horizontal auger of the single or preferably double auger variety.

How to Grow Wheatgrass

Learning how to grow wheatgrass for yourself is not as difficult as you may first imagine. For those of you that love wheatgrass and want to grow your own at home this article will teach you the easiest way you do it.

Most home wheatgrass growers have followed a natural progression in their search for the ultimate wheatgrass juice. From the initial steps of buying wheatgrass juice from juice bars to buying trays of fully grown wheatgrass and extracting the juice themselves. The cost of your wheatgrass juice becomes cheaper with each step.

The biggest saving come from actually buying wheatgrass seeds and perfecting how to grow wheat grass yourself. By buying wheat-grass seeds wholesale and in bulk you can have an endless supply of cheap wheatgrass juice.

If you have never grown your own wheatgrass before then you may be better off buying a wheatgrass growing kit that includes everything needed to get you started.

How to Grow Wheatgrass Indoors

Growing your own wheatgrass is going to take about 10-14 days in most cases, longer in winter but as you’ll see in the video below the process is not very complicated. When it’s grown you’ll need to get a good quality wheatgrass juicer to extract the juice.

Basic steps to Growing Wheatgrass at Home

So just to repeat what you just saw in the video these are the main steps to learning how to grow wheatgrass.

1. Get your wheat seed, from a local health food store or buy online.
2. Put the seed (about a cup) in a large jar and soak it over-night in water.
3. Next day strain the water out and rinse the seed a few times. Let the jar drain upside down.
4. Leave it for a day and a half until it starts to sprout little shoots (rinse it twice a day)
5. Once it has started to sprout you’ll need to spread it out evenly on a seed tray with a thin layer of wet soil (1-1.5cm)
6. Cover the tray with a piece of newspaper that has been damped down with water
7. Keep the tray in the dark for a couple of days (keeping the paper moist) until the sprouts are a few centimeters in length (the sprouts will be yellow at this point)
8. You then need to expose the wheatgrass to sunlight and water once or twice a day.
9. After 3 to 4 days the wheatgrass should have grown and turned green and be ready to cut.
10. For each tray you’ll be able to cut the wheat grass down twice

You can also purchase a rack that holds several wheatgrass trays. These are called sprouters and most will hold between 3-6 trays each. The trays themselves are normally 10 x 20 inches in size. Using one of these wheatgrass growing racks can save a lot of space

You’ll need to calculate how much wheatgrass you are going to require for your daily intake of wheatgrass juice.

You may find when growing wheatgrass that it is easy to over-water the grass and that doing so will likely cause a mold to form. So be careful when watering and follow any instructions that come with your seeds or growing kits. Mold suppressing products such as citricide are available to help keep the situation under control when needed.

How to Grow Wheatgrass with Soil

It is possible to grow wheatgrass with or without soil. Growing wheatgrass in soil is the preferred method for most people and growing kits normally include a good quality fertilized soil to use.

How to Grow Wheatgrass without Soil (Soilless)

You can also grow the wheatgrass without soil if you wish. Just place down some paper napkins in the seeding tray instead. The seeds contain enough nutrients and minerals to start shooting.

How to Grow Wheatgrass in Winter

You can still grow your own wheatgrass in winter time but you will need to use some sort of external lighting system to ensure that your wheatgrass gets an adequate amount of light each day. It is best to cycle the lights on and off rather than keep them turned on all the time. A period of 14 hours is recommended to keep the plants illuminated.

If they are receiving some natural light as well then you only need to supplement them for the extra time to make up the 14 hours each day. You;ll need to use a bulb that projects a full spectrum of colors that matches sunlight as closely as possible.

Using Wheatgrass Growing Kits

It is easy to buy complete wheatgrass growing kits online and have them shipped to your door. Growing kits will contain everything that you needs, including instructions, to start growing your own wheatgrass straight away. A typical will include the wheat seeds, soil, trays and fertilizer needed.

Although it may take a few attempts to discover how to grow wheatgrass indoors in the end you’ll benefits from lower costs and and endless supply of fresh wheatgrass.

The Miracle wheatgrass juicer MJ445 is a manual wheatgrass juice extractor aimed at people to wish to gain al the benefits of drinking wheatgrass juice but without the high cost of buying an all electric wheatgrass juicer.

Molded from high quality stainless steel it is obvious on first sight that this is a beautifully crafted and robust piece of equipment. The auger used to crush the wheatgrass is based upon Miracles top of the line commercial juicer and is able to do away with the regulating screw used in other models.

As is common with most slow moving masticating juice extractors the Miracle MJ445 produces very little foam.

It is best to use the Miracle wheatgrass juicer MJ445 solely for wheatgrass and leafy greens as that it what it is best at juicing. For fruits and vegetables you’re probably better off with an electric centrifugal juicer such as the Breville 800jexl.

For those people not used to operating a hand crank manual wheatgrass juicer it may appear to take forever to get some juice out of one of these extractors but with a little practice you’ll soon get used to it.

Good Points

• Easy to Clean
• Made from high quality stainless steel
• Easy to crank

Bad Points

• As with most manual juicers you’ll find that the pulp should be fed through at least one more time
• It needs to be attached to a stable work surface no more than 1.5 inches thick

User Reviews

Most owners of the Miracle wheatgrass juicer MJ445 are extremely happy with their purchase noting the high quality build of the juicer, the ease of hand cranking and how quick it is to clean as the main benefits. The only complaints appear to be with having to feed the pulp through the juicer a second time so as to extract more juice from it.

Overall Impression of the Miracle Wheatgrass Juicer MJ445

The Miracle wheatgrass juicer MJ445 is a fine quality manual juice extractor that produces a good quality wheatgrass juice. It is not the cheapest hand crank wheatgrass juicer on the market but then again it is made of stainless steel rather than plastic so you know that it will last.

This type of juicer is ideally suited to those new to making wheatgrass juice and wish to see whether it is something that they enjoy before splashing out on an electric model. Manual wheatgrass juicers are also useful for those times that electricity is not available, such as on camping trips or when on the road.

One thing I should point out is that it appears to be very similar to the Hurricane Stainless Steel manual wheatgrass juicer apart from the finish. The Hurricane model has a gloss finish whereas the Miracle juicers finish is satin/matt. Whilst both products are similarly priced the Hurricane Wheatgrass juicer, at the time of writing this review, also came with a trade-in option. So if you wish to upgrade from the hand crank version to an electric model, within a year, you will get a $60 trade-in rebate.

For those of you wishing to try out a manual wheatgrass juicer before upgrading to an electric model this may be a reason for choosing the Hurricane wheatgrass juicer instead. It should be noted that this offer was available on the Amazon website so if you decide to buy else where you should check whether the trade-up option is available before buying.
