The Ultimate Guide To Juicers
SKG New Generation Wide Chute ReviewIf you're in the market for a juicer a
Year past, a broad mouth vertical masticating juicer would cost close to $400
the SKG Wide Chute juicer.
A strong 230 watt AC motor that SKG says will have enough torque to crush
through whole fruits but like all vertical slow juicers, you will still have to chop
Fibrous vegetables such as celery or spinach into bite sized pieces so it does not clog
The little pulp outlet port which turns at a sharp 90 degree angle.
It will not have as long a guarantee of a Kuvings but you do not have to pay as much
Upfront to enjoy the time saving benefits of having a wide mouth extractor.
Comes with a 3 inch feed chute so you don't need to cut fruits like apple or
oranges.
Powered by a 230 watt AC motor that spins the blades at a slow 60 rpm that
minimizes oxidation
Comes with a handle so you can move this around easier compared to juicers
without handles
Backed by a 5 year warranty for the parts and 10 years on the motor
The Good
time saving
Juice that comes out has minimal pulp (based on video reviews)
The Bad
Still a Costly juicer
Features
I think SKG manufactured this machine Instead of the popularity of the Kuvings
Whole Slow Juicer and they lowered the price to under $300 to get a bit of the
market share.
They've added one feature that I feel like Kuvings is lacking which is a handle.
These machines aren't lightweight (it is a good thing) and if you're moving it from
1 area of your home to another not having a handle can be a burden since you
Will have to use two hands to move this and the it may be an accident waiting to
happen.
Feature wise both extractors are alike from the feed chute to the power. Both
Kuvings has a brushless motor
Since both have the
Same 10 year warranty on the motor, longevity shouldn't be an issue here.
Machine isn't made in Korea but in China so if that's a concern for you, go with
the Kuvings.
SKG Juicer
by Happy Pumpkins
Concerning accessories included, Kuvings has motor, it comes with a unique
Strainer cleaning tool that I have not seen yet in different juicers and on top of that it
Comes with two other brush cleaning tools that will help you thoroughly clean the jar.
The SKG on the other hand includes a tofu strainer and a cleaning brush. If tofu
Making is your thing aside from making juices, this is a fantastic option.
In terms of yield, I think the two will produce around the same amount of juice and if
There are any gaps, it is negligible.
Let us see how this stacks up against the Kuvings Whole Slow Juicer feature wise
...A mix of fruit and vegetables. Since it has a wide feed chute, it will save you time
in terms of not having to chop stuff like apple, orange or cucumber.
If you want your juice recipes to be a mix of fruit and vegetables this is the good
compromise between a centrifugal juicer and a horizontal auger juicer that has a
smaller feed chute.
Concerning yield, it will produce more than any centrifugal juicer in the market,
yes even the Breville.
However, I have to warn you that despite having a wide feed chute, you still have to
Chop fibrous greens like celery or collard greens because it is going to clog the pulp chute
that turns at a sharp 90 degrees.
Don't say I did not warn you.
How long can you store juice?
Because this machine uses a slow 60rpm, there is extremely minimal oxidation. If you
Store juice properly in an airtight container like a mason jar inside a refrigerator,
expect it to be good for around 36 hours.
How much juice can it extract?
I can't find any comparison videos but here's a video to give you an idea how
much juice this machine will extract from an apple...
SKG New Generation Wide Chute JuicerTake note that this machine will extract pretty much the same amount as the
Kuvings because both have similarly designed machines from the motor to the
Auger so any difference concerning yield will be negligible.
Don't expect this though to extract more than a horizontal juicer like an Omega
NC800 especially from leafy greens.
Is it tough to clean up?
Assembling and disassembling this isn't hard and after a doing it a few times you'll
get used to it so cleaning isn't a problem. You just have to make sure that you
scrub the strainer well and clean it immediately afterwards so pulp does not dry
up.
Which type of juicer is this?
This machine is classified as a masticating or slow juicer.
Is it BPA Free?
Yes, SKG specifies that the plastic parts are BPA free.
Noise
Since the auger only rotates at 60 rpm, it isn't as noisy as a centrifugal extractor
And you don't need to worry waking up your neighbours or scarring your kids.
Where is this manufactured?
This product is manufactured in Shunde District Foshan City Guangdong Province
in China.
Since this is a relatively new product, there aren't a lot of reviews but it got a
Really positive response from a lot of people who either purchased it or got a free
sample. A lot of folks like the build quality -- it was heavy and the parts look solidly
built. Even the packaging got some praises.
Assembly was easy and learning curve was not steep. First time users liked how
easy it was to use.
In terms of how much juice it was able to extract, a lot of people say it was able to
extract more than a centrifugal juice like a Breville and since it don't suck in air
As with other centrifugal juicers, they could store it longer.
A lot of consumers who purchased this were first time users and they were quite
happy with their purchase. Compared to the Kuvings it provided better value
because it was cheaper by almost $100!
In terms of pulpiness, it was blended some say it wasn't pulpy while some state it
Had quite a bit of pulp. This is a highly subjective issue, if you find it pulpy, a
Simply workaround would be buying a strainer.
Price
The Ideal Place to Buy this would be in Amazon where you don't have to
worry about warranty claims. Expect to pay a shade under $300 for this and you'll
get Free Shipping!
Conclusion
If you cannot afford the Kuvings this machine is the next best option. It comes
With the exact same 3" feed chute, same powered motor, auger design and has a
decent 5 year warranty on the parts and 10 years for the motor.
It's a discounted version of the Kuvings minus the specialized cleaning brush and
The blank plate attachment that will let you make sorbets. Oh, this is made
in China not Korea where other premium brands like Kuvings and Omega juicers
came from.
