Masticating Juicer Review
Kuvings EVO820
Review
The widest feed chute in masticating juicers — and it actually matters.
If produce prep time is your biggest friction with daily juicing, the EVO820 solves it. The 3.2-inch feed chute is wide enough for whole apples, whole beets, whole cucumbers. That's not marketing — it genuinely eliminates the cutting board step for most produce.
This is also a juicer with real tradeoffs. If leafy greens are central to your practice, a horizontal masticating juicer will outperform it. And the EVO820's jamming behavior on dense produce is worth knowing about before you buy. Here's the honest picture.
3.2"
FEED CHUTE
Widest feed chute in the masticating category. Whole apples, beets, cucumbers, and oranges drop in without pre-cutting. The time savings on a full recipe are real.
60
RPM
Slow extraction preserves enzymes. Vertical design at 60 RPM is efficient for hard produce and fruit. Horizontal designs still win on fibrous greens at similar speeds.
~$550
STREET PRICE
10-year warranty on the EVO820. The REVO830 upgrade ($650) adds 15-year warranty, better jamming resistance, and 1-hour continuous run time.
Who This Juicer Is For
Buy this if:
- • Produce prep time is the main reason you don't juice consistently
- • Your recipes are primarily hard produce — apples, beets, carrots, cucumber
- • Counter space is limited and a vertical design fits your setup better
- • Aesthetic matters — Kuvings makes an attractive machine
- • You want wide-chute convenience at a lower price than the REVO830
Consider the Omega NC900 instead if:
- • Leafy greens and wheatgrass are a significant part of your recipes
- • You want multi-function capability (nut milks, pasta, sorbets)
- • A 15-year warranty vs. 10-year matters to you
- • You want a longer proven durability track record
Full Review
What Works
- +The wide chute is the real deal. 3.2 inches is meaningfully different from the 1"×2" oval on the Omega. Whole apples go in. Whole beets go in. If you've ever stood at a cutting board prepping produce before juicing, you know why this matters.
- +Faster prep time. For a typical hard-produce recipe, prep time on the EVO820 is a fraction of what it takes for a standard masticating juicer. That friction removal is real and affects whether you actually juice consistently.
- +Vertical design saves counter space. Stands tall rather than running long. If your counter is limited, the vertical footprint is a genuine advantage over horizontal designs like the NC900.
- +Attractive build quality. Kuvings makes a good-looking machine. If the juicer lives on your counter, this matters more than engineers admit.
What Doesn't
- −Leafy greens performance is a real gap. Vertical masticating juicers struggle with leafy greens compared to horizontal. The EVO820 is no exception. If spinach, kale, or wheatgrass are central to your practice, the Omega NC900 will outperform it noticeably.
- −Wheatgrass yield is poor. Not the right machine for wheatgrass. Full stop. If wheatgrass is in your protocol, look at horizontal masticating or twin-gear options.
- −Jamming on dense produce. The EVO820 can jam when processing very dense root vegetables at full pieces. The REVO830 addresses this with a redesigned auger — if jamming is a concern, the $100 upgrade to REVO830 is worth it.
- −10-year warranty vs. 15 on competitors. Omega and Nama both offer 15 years. Kuvings' 10-year on the EVO820 (vs. 15 on the REVO830) is the weaker coverage in the category.
Should you upgrade to the REVO830?
If budget allows, yes. The REVO830 ($650) fixes the EVO820's jamming issue with a redesigned auger, adds 1-hour continuous run time, and extends the warranty to 15 years. Same wide chute, same vertical design — just more reliable under demanding use.

vs. Omega NC900 (~$300)
The NC900 costs $250 less and wins on leafy greens, wheatgrass, and multi-function capability. The EVO820 wins on prep time — no pre-cutting for most produce. If your recipes are hard produce heavy, the EVO820's wide chute is a real quality-of-life upgrade. If greens are a significant part of your diet, the NC900 outperforms it and saves you money.
vs. Hurom H400 (~$700)
The Hurom H400 has a no-mesh design that makes cleanup take 1.5 minutes — genuinely impressive. The EVO820's wide chute wins on prep time. The H400 wins on post-juice cleanup. Different frictions, different solutions. Both are strong vertical masticating juicers at the upper end of the category.
