The HW is a premium commercial juicer produced Hurom, one of the leading brands in juicer development. It has a heavy duty build that bears many similarities to the HZ in terms of appearance. However, the HW brings a lot more to the table than its sibling and boasts features such as a doubled juicing capacity, multiple juicing sets and the ability to be used for up to 8 hours (30 minutes continuously with 15 minutes cool down time). This all combines into a solid package that will thrive in any commercial juicing environment.

Commercial Excellence
The Hurom HW is a juicer that has been well optimised for its purpose, and this is very apparent when you look at what you get in the box. In total, there are 3 separate sets of juicing components (bowl, hopper, screen and augur), which can be quickly swapped out when a new type of juice needs to be made. This means that time isn’t wasted on washing parts between juice batches, keeping production speeds up. Having 3 sets is especially impressive when compared to the competition, as typically only 2 full sets are included in commercial models, which has been the standard amount until this point.
The HW is also leading the way with juice yields, and its augur turns at just 60 RPM. Having a slower speed allows ingredients to get more contact with the augur and screen, allowing more juice to be pressed out in the same amount of time. Furthermore, the HW has larger juicing parts than a standard model and as a result, its augur and screen are 1.25 times longer, providing a larger surface area for interaction with ingredients.
Built to Last
This juicer is made of strong and premium materials, helping it to survive in a tough commercial environment. The casing of the HW is made of brushed stainless-steel, which is both strong and highly scratch resistant. This makes it tough the damage it in any meaningful way. The juicing components themselves are made of BPA free plastics to remove the risk of chemical leeching and key components such as the augur and screen are made of GE Ultem, a durable plastic that is rated as being 8 times stronger than average ABS materials.
Clog Resistant
The HW is unlike any other commercial juicer you’d find in the market currently and this is due to its standard size feed chute. Other competitor models, namely the Kuvings CS600 and the Sana 909, all have wide feed designs to decrease preparation times. Now, the wide feed chute has its advantages, but too often it gets abused and overfilled, causing clogs and juicing failures. So, in a wise choice to avoid this issue, Hurom have cut down the size of the chute to prevent overloading. Some people feel this cuts down on its capability, but we feel it’s a smart move to increase reliability and honestly, it can cope much better with tougher ingredients as a result.
Our Verdict
This is yet another good juicer from Hurom, combining new and traditional ideas to produce a top commercial juicing option. In terms of yields and performance, it can’t be beaten, and it probably gets the award for the best vertical juicer of all time, as things stand. It’s clear to see that Hurom took time to think about the features an exceptional commercial juicer should have and their inclusion of 3 separate juicing sets and a highly durable stainless-steel body serve as evidence for that. No matter what your commercial needs, the HW fits the bill better than you may even expect.
