With a slow masticating action, the KOIOS B5100 separates the juice from the pulp slowly without heating or oxidizing the yield. As a result, the user gets to enjoy a nutritious, dense juice that can be stored for 72 hours under refrigeration for future consumption.

Its stainless steel sieve features very tiny holes that ensure that your refreshment comes with minimal or no pulp, allowing you to enjoy a smooth juice. This juicer features BPA-free components, and hence the user may enjoy their refreshment without worrying about ingesting harmful plastic chemicals.

The auger features three spiral stages that enable the juicer to remove over 80% of juice from your favorite ingredients as follows:

Chopping: Chopping occurs around the base of the auger, after which the produce is pushed to the next stage.

Squeezing: The first stage of squeezing occurs around the middle area where the auger begins increasing in diameter.

Micro Squeezing: This level of squeezing occurs on the auger’s front, where it’s larger than the middle section and the base. This area presses the pulp against the juicer more forcefully and thus ensuring that every drop of juice is extracted from the ingredients.

Setup and Usability

The KOIOS B5100 Slow Juicer comes disassembled, but it consists of only five parts that need to be KOIOS B5100 Juicer Assemblyassembled and attached to the main body. These include the main chamber, auger, sieve, end cup, and hopper. Other components are the food pusher, pulp collector, and juicing jar, but these only require the user to position them in their rightful places.

  • This juicer also comes with four buttons; for power, soft, hard, and reverse function. These buttons are clearly labeled, which goes a long way in preventing confusion.
  • The unit weighs 9.9 pounds, making it easy for users to carry or move it from the cabinet to the countertop and vice-versa.
  • The reverse function ensures a better juicing experience by preventing jamming even when the user is juicing fibrous ingredients like celery.

To utilize the reverse function, the user should stop the unit’s operation and press the reverse button for 3-5 seconds until the juicer becomes unclogged.

KOIOS B5100 Juicer Two Modes

  • Its twin juicing options provide added convenience when handling hard and soft ingredients.
  • The hard button is perfect for juicing dense ingredients like carrot, beets, apples, pears, and ginger, while the soft setting is best suited for soft produce like cucumber and grapes.
  • This juicer’s auger pulls the food automatically when juicing, and hence the user should not push the ingredients down the chamber.
  • If you are not sure whether the product is soft or tough, you can use the hard button to juice it.

We Noticed: This slow juicer comes with a small feed chute, meaning that the user will have to cut the produce into tiny pieces. They should instead use a food pusher when the ingredients obstruct the hopper. Remember that this juicer overheats when juicing fibrous veggies; it’s imperative to chop and feed these ingredients into the chamber slowly.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The KOIOS B5100 Slow Juicer isn’t dishwasher safe, and thus hand washing is the best option. Users should disassemble all the detachable parts and clean them using a soft brush and warm soapy water.

Ideally, the user should clean these parts before the food particles dry out and become stuck, which implies soon after juicing.

They should also rinse them thoroughly with running water and let them dry out completely before reusing them. The user may also clean the motor housing by wiping it clean with a damp cloth.

We Recommend: Unplug the juicer from its power source before beginning the cleaning tasks. Don’t use any abrasive products and refrain from immersing the motor housing into the water.
