Compare Juicers
AG-8500 scores higher on safety - here's why.
The most important dimensions, side by side.
Every surface your food touches is made from 316 surgical-grade stainless steel -- the same material used in medical instruments. It is completely non-reactive with acidic fruits and vegetables.
The main food-contact surface is a BPA-free plastic, but the exact polymer type isn't disclosed. We can confirm what it isn't (BPA) but not precisely what it is.
Your juice collects in a glass container, which is chemically inert. Nothing leaches into your juice, no matter how long it sits.
Your juice collects in a Tritan container -- a well-regarded, shatter-resistant plastic that's been independently verified as free from BPA and estrogenic activity.
BPA is not a concern here because this juicer contains no plastic food-contact parts at all.
Confirmed BPA-free across all components that touch your food.
PFAS (forever chemicals) are not a concern because stainless steel and glass inherently cannot contain them.
No fluoropolymer coatings or PFAS-containing materials are used anywhere in this juicer.
Angel Juicer discloses the exact grade of every material in the machine. You know exactly what your food is touching.
Hurom publishes specific material grades for every food-contact component -- a level of transparency most juicer brands don't offer.
No independent lab has tested this machine for heavy metal content. While 316 stainless steel is inherently safe, formal testing would confirm it.
No independent lab has tested this juicer's components for heavy metal contamination. This is a common gap across the entire juicer category -- not specific to Hurom.
Twin-gear extraction crushes produce between two interlocking gears, squeezing out more juice with less heat than any other method. Your juice retains more vitamins and enzymes.
Slow masticating extraction crushes produce gently, preserving more vitamins and enzymes. Your juice stays fresh in the fridge for up to 72 hours.
The 180W motor is well-matched to the slow extraction speed. It handles most fruits and vegetables without straining, though very hard produce like frozen wheatgrass may require pre-cutting.
At 100W, this motor handles soft fruits and leafy greens well but may need produce pre-cut into smaller pieces for hard items like carrots or beets.
At just 82 RPM, this juicer generates almost no heat during extraction. That means less oxidation and juice that stays fresh for up to 72 hours in the fridge.
At just 43 RPM, this is the slowest (and best) extraction speed in our batch. Less heat means more nutrients make it into your glass.
There is one fixed strainer with no way to adjust pulp level. If you prefer very smooth or very pulpy juice, you will need to strain separately.
One fixed strainer means one pulp level -- you can't adjust texture. Fine for most users, but pulp preference fans may want more control.
No noise level measurement is available for this model. Twin-gear juicers are generally quieter than centrifugal models, but we cannot confirm this without measured data.
At 45 dB, this juicer is quieter than a normal conversation. You can juice early in the morning without disturbing anyone.
All parts must be hand washed. The stainless steel components are durable and easy to scrub, but expect 10-15 minutes of cleanup after each use.
All parts require hand washing. The easy-clean design with only 3 parts makes this less burdensome than it sounds.
Five parts to take apart and reassemble -- a manageable number that keeps cleanup straightforward.
Only three parts to take apart and clean -- one of the simplest disassembly routines in the juicer category.
At 10.5 inches tall, this fits comfortably under standard kitchen cabinets. You can leave it on the counter without it dominating the space.
At 15.6 inches tall, this may not fit under standard kitchen cabinets. Measure your counter clearance before buying.
A 10-year warranty is the longest in this category by far. Angel Juicer clearly stands behind the durability of this machine.
A 10-year warranty is exceptional -- it's the longest in our juicer batch and signals real confidence in the build quality.
At $2,280, this is a significant investment. The value proposition depends on how often you juice -- for daily use over a decade, the cost per juice is quite reasonable given the 10-year warranty.
At $429, this is a premium investment. You're paying for masticating technology and a 10-year warranty -- not available at lower price points.
Everything you need to make the call - who each one is for, and who should skip it.
Go for it if you...
You juice daily and want the safest possible food-contact materials for your family.
You are willing to invest in a commercial-grade machine backed by a 10-year warranty.
Full material transparency and zero plastic food-contact surfaces are non-negotiable for you.
You value maximum nutrient retention and are willing to trade speed for juice quality.
You prioritize nutrient-rich, slow-pressed juice that stays fresh for up to 72 hours.
Quiet operation matters -- at 45 dB this won't wake sleeping kids or disrupt morning routines.
You want long-term confidence from a 10-year warranty, the best in this juicer batch.
You prefer minimal cleanup with only 3 parts to disassemble and wash.
The main thing to know
At $2,280, this is the most expensive juicer in the category by a wide margin. The 10-year warranty and surgical-grade stainless steel justify the investment for daily juicers, but this is not a casual purchase.
The Hurom's primary food-contact plastic is labeled BPA-free but the specific polymer isn't disclosed -- so we can't fully verify what replacement materials are used where your food touches the machine.
Skip this if you...
You juice occasionally and cannot justify a $2,280 investment for a kitchen appliance.
You need dishwasher-safe parts because hand-washing after every use is a dealbreaker.
You prefer fast juicing -- centrifugal machines produce juice in seconds, not minutes.
You need full transparency on exactly which plastics touch your food -- the polymer type is undisclosed.
Hard produce like carrots and beets are staples in your juice recipes -- the 100W motor may struggle.
Dishwasher-safe parts are non-negotiable for your daily routine.
Neither of these quite what you're looking for?
