Hurom Alpha Series HZ Juicer

Unlike centrifugal juicers that use high-speed blades to shred produce, the Hurom HZ uses a low-speed auger at 43 RPM. This mimics the motion of hand-squeezing, which generates less heat and oxidation, resulting in juice that retains more nutrients and stays fresh longer.

Yes, the HZ is quite versatile. Beyond standard fruit and vegetable juices, you can use it to process soaked nuts for fresh almond or cashew milk, and even create homemade sorbets or ice creams using frozen ingredients.

Cleanup is straightforward thanks to the included self-cleaning brush, which rotates to scrub the chamber while you juice. Most parts are easy to rinse under warm water, though you should disassemble the chamber and auger after each use for a thorough clean.

The HZ is designed for near-silent operation. Its AC motor runs at a very low RPM, meaning it produces a low hum rather than the loud, high-pitched grinding noise typical of centrifugal juicers, making it ideal for early morning use.

The motor is rated for up to 30 minutes of continuous use. This is plenty of time to juice for a large family or prep a week's worth of juice, but you should allow the motor to rest if you plan on processing very large batches.

Yes, the adjustable pulp control lever allows you to customize the amount of fiber in your drink. You can slide it to open or close the pulp outlet, giving you control over whether you prefer a smooth, pulp-free juice or a thicker, more fibrous consistency.
