Kuvings Auto6 slow juicer review: "it takes away a lot of the usual friction"

RRP at time of testing: £360 | Check price at Amazon, Harts of Stur or Kuvings directly

My verdict

The Kuvings Auto6 Slow Juicer is one of those appliances you have to want to use regularly to justify. 

It’s not cheap and it does take up a fair chunk of space, but it removes a lot of the usual annoyances that come with juicing. You’re not constantly feeding ingredients through, it’s not shouting over you and cleaning doesn’t feel like a punishment afterwards. 

The Kuvings Auto6 has become a favourite in our kitchen, especially with our DC

I won’t lie, we’re not suddenly a green-juice-at-dawn household, but we are using it consistently after school and at weekends, which feels like a more realistic benchmark for us. If you’ve been put off juicing because it feels like too much effort, this does a decent job of making it feel manageable. 

What’s more - this is a 2-in-1 appliance. Not only can you juice fruits and make plant-based milks, you can enjoy a scoop or two of fresh sorbet (my favourite, I’ll admit). 

If you’re weighing up your options, it’s worth having a look at our guide to the best juicers to see how this compares across the board.

How I’ve tested the Kuvings Auto6 Juicer

We’ve been using this juicer in our family home of four for over a month. That includes DH and I who are both working parents, along with our two young kids who are both at the age where they want to help with anything food-related. 

The packaging is neat, protective and didn’t arrive with any damage thankfully

The juicer has mainly been tested after school for the “I’m starving” moments and at weekends for breakfast juices. Both DC have been heavily involved in chopping fruit and loading the hopper for me, which it handles well. 

So far, we’ve mainly focused on simple juicers using ingredients like watermelon, apples and oranges. Though on one occasion I did treat us to some mango sorbet that the kids loved.

First impressions of the Kuvings Auto6 Slow Juicer

I was unfamiliar with the South Korean brand before testing this juicer, but it’s now easy to understand why they’ve won awards like the iF Design Awards and Red Dot Design Awards for their products.

It looks and feels like a premium appliance straight away. The Auto6 juicer is solid, weighty and slightly intimidating, I’ll admit - until you realise it’s actually quite straightforward to use. 

Cleaning brushes are included that are handy for stubborn pulp that’s stuck

It’s slimmer than the Braun juicers we’ve tested recently, but taller, so you’ll need to think about cupboard height if you’re leaving it out.

The hopper is the standout here. Being able to load everything in at once and walk away (or at least deal with something else nearby) immediately makes it feel more practical for our home. 

What’s it like to use on a day to day basis?

This particular juicer has slotted quite naturally into that after-school window where everyone’s hungry and slightly feral. This was also the case with the Braun MultiJuice 5. It’s a similar kind of “use it or it gathers dust” appliance as things like food processors or blenders.

The kids pick what juice they want each week, I add it to the Big Food Shop order, and once the goods arrive and the day is picked, they both help to chop and load it in. Watermelon, apple and orange juices have been their favourites so far with the Kuvings Auto6. As a parent though, I’ll admit, I do worry about the volume of natural sugars they’re consuming.

The cups are separate to the juicer, meaning if you fill one, you can easily switch in another glass or mug from your kitchen

The difference between the Auto6 and other juicers, like centrifugal ones, is that the cold-press extraction method the appliance uses gently pressed ingredients - reducing frictional heat and preserving the nutrients. Thanks to this, the natural flavours are also preserved, so it’s no surprise my DC love to help me make some juice to chug down. 

It’s also noticeably less messy than faster juicers and doesn’t feel like it’s in a big rush. You can get on with something else while it’s working, which is probably the biggest win. 

I’ll admit that I’m yet to venture into the more complicated recipes Kuvings suggests, but for straightforward juices in our family home so far, it’s been very easy to get into the habit of using.

The hopper is large and you can add lots of ingredients in one go and leave it be 

Only once have we made sorbet, but after doing so, I plan to make some more often to stash in the freezer. I’m a huge fan of sorbet myself, so this is definitely an added bonus that comes with the Auto6. And honestly, I’d make more of it if I remembered to either buy frozen fruit or freeze fruit from our food shop more regularly. For testing, I chose a berries and mango sorbet recipe - simple, two ingredients that gave a tasty result (I have a huge sweet tooth so the fact I can make homemade sorbet will certainly help my diet and waistline). 

Is the Kuvings Auto6 slow juicer easy to use? 

Yes, and that’s really the point of it. The auto hopper means you’re not standing there feeding ingredients through one by one. You load it up, switch it on and it does the rest. My DC have found it easy to get involved with too, which says a lot. 

The sorbet attachment is a definite favourite of mine 

There have been times when it’s stopped spinning because the ingredients are a little jammed. Though, Kuvings expect this to happen - which is why there’s a reverse control when you switch the button. This’ll rotate the cutting mechanism backwards to help it unstick. 

This also feels calmer to use than centrifugal juicers. It’s less noisy, there’s less urgency and there’s less chance of something going flying across the kitchen. 

Is the Kuvings Auto6 juicer easy to clean? 

Surprisingly, yes. All removable parts can go in the dishwasher, which is a huge win for me. When washing by hand, the included brushes make light work of it, too. 

When juicing, the pulp is ejected neatly into a separate container so you’re not digging around inside the machine afterwards before cleaning. I’ve been tipping it straight in the bin after - though, with food caddies soon to be a staple item in the kitchen, I’ll be adding the pulp into this in the future. 

All removable pieces are dishwasher friendly - a huge win from me

The only slight downside is that small bits can get stuck near the waste outlet, but it’s quick to sort when poked with the end of the brush (again, it’s designed with a pointy end so I suspect Kuving expects this to happen). 

Is the Kuvings Auto6 juicer good value? Is it worth the money? 

This depends entirely on how often you’ll use it. It’s a premium appliance with a price to match (RRP of £360), but the 15-year motor warranty does soften the blow slightly. It feels like something designed to last rather than be replaced in a couple of years. 

If it ends up gathering dust after a fortnight, then no, it won’t feel worth it. If it becomes part of your weekly routine - be it for juicing or sorbets - it starts to make more sense. At this price, it sits alongside other bigger kitchen investments like a slow cooker or multi cooker, where you only really feel the value if you’re using it regularly.

How is it different to other juicers? 

The main difference with this one, I’ve found, is how hands-off it is. Traditional centrifugal juicers are fast but noisy and you have to actively feed ingredients through them. This uses a slow, cold press method with a large hopper that chops and feeds ingredients automatically. 

It’s quieter, slower and far less involved. Whether that suits you depends on how you feel about kitchen gadgets that require your full attention. 

If you’re still deciding between types, our guide to the best juicers breaks down the pros and cons in more detail.

The different types of juicers, explained

There are two main types you’ll likely come across when it comes to juicers: 

• Centrifugal juicers: are fast, loud and generally cheaper. They work by spinning blades at high speeds to extract juice. They’re good for quick results, but less great for noise and mess.

• Slow (cold press) juicers: use a slower auger to press ingredients. Quieter, usually produces smoother juice and tends to be more expensive. The Kuvings Auto6 sits firmly in this camp. 

How does it compare to other Kuvings juicers?

The standout difference here is the automation. Many Kuvings models use the same cold press approach and premium build, but the Auto6 leans heavily into convenience with its large, hands-free hopper and automatic cutting and feeding system.

If you like the idea of slow juicing but don’t want to stand there doing it, this is clearly designed to bridge that gap.

Who is it most suitable for? Who should avoid it? 

After testing, I can confidently say that the Kuvings Auto6 is more suitable for: 

• Families who want a low-effort way to make fresh juice

• Anyone put off by noisy, messy juicers

• Households where kids like getting involved in food prep

• People happy to invest in a long-term appliance

• People who love sorbet as much as I do 

It’s probably not a great choice for: 

• Smaller kitchens with limited storage

• Occasional juicers (it’s an investment in your time, too)

• Anyone looking for a budget option

I was rather proud of the sorbet we made - mango and berries, yum! 

Final verdict: is this the best juicer for you?

If you like the idea of juicing but not the reality of standing there feeding in carrots while something screams on your worktop, the Kuvings Auto6 makes a very good case for itself.

It takes away a lot of the usual friction. You can load it up, let it get on with things and clean-up doesn’t feel like a punishment afterwards. In a busy family kitchen, that counts for more than any technical spec.

That said, it’s not the most powerful or the most feature-heavy juicer Kuvings makes. The Revo830 gives you more control, especially if you’re big on things like celery juice, while the Auto10S is the one to go for if you want to batch juice in serious quantities without lifting a finger.

The Auto6 sits neatly in the middle. Less involved than the Revo, less of a commitment than the Auto10S.

So, is it the best juicer for you?

• Yes, if you want something quiet, low-effort and realistic to use in everyday family life

• Probably not, if you’re an occasional juicer or short on space

• Worth considering upgrading if you want to juice in large batches or go all-in on features

For most households, it strikes a sensible balance. Not cheap, not tiny, but much easier to live with than many juicers out there. And that’s usually what makes the difference between something you use… and something that ends up at the back of a cupboard.
