Overview
AGARO Imperial 240-Watt Slow Juicer
The Agaro Cold Press Juicer looks similar to the Hestia Nutri Max Cold Press model. The performance is also identical. But the Agaro model is priced lower.
This model is suitable for extracting juice from soft fruits. However, we suggest removing the seeds from fruits like oranges, sweet lime, gooseberries, etc. Otherwise, it crushes the seeds and affects the taste.
Though this product is ideal for preparing juice from soft and pulpy vegetables, there are better recommendations for leafy greens. In addition, the residue gets jammed inside the tube, making it challenging to remove.

Design
The Agaro Cold Press Juicer has an ergonomic design to deliver a high-quality juicing performance. The large feeder tube allows users to insert whole fruits. However, we recommend slicing the fruits and removing the seeds before pushing them in. Otherwise, the seeds get ground along with the pulp to affect the taste.
Agaro Cold Press Juicer has a 240W copper-wound motor capable of functioning for 30 minutes. However, Agaro provides a 5-year warranty on the motor, whereas some of its competitors offer ten years.
The grinder is made of plastic, whereas its competitors, Kuvings and Hestia, offer Ultem plastic. The screw-shaped grinder is perfect for crushing the fruits slowly and extracting maximum juice.
The juicer features a pusher to push large fruit and vegetable pieces into the juicer. In addition, the Agaro juicer offers different filters for preparing sorbets and smoothies.
Agaro Cold Press Juicer – Performance
Cold Press juicers have proven better than centrifugal juicers because they produce denser juice and drier pulp. The Agaro Cold Press Juicer claims it produces 30% more juice from fruits and vegetables than centrifugal juicers. These appliances extract maximum nutrients while ensuring minimum oxidation.
The Agaro Cold Press Juicer extracts maximum juice to make the pulp dry. One of the best features of the Agaro juicer is the reverse function that allows users to remove the pulp that gets clogged in the juicer. It enhances performance levels.
Besides preparing fruit and vegetable juices, the Agaro Cold Press juicer can prepare smoothies, slushes, milkshakes, and sorbets.
The prime drawback of cold press juicers is that they are not ideally suited for preparing citrus fruit juices. The seeds get crushed along with the pulp and affecting the juice’s taste. But you can remove the seeds before pushing the fruits inside the juicer.
This juicer is similar to the Hestia Cold Press model. So the Agaro product can crush nuts and prepare nut milk equally efficiently. However, it is better to soak the nuts in water and soften them considerably. It makes the extraction process easy.
This juicer is best for soft fruits. So, we suggest removing the skins from fruits like papaya, watermelons, muskmelons, and others. Removing the seeds before pushing the fruits inside the machine is essential.
Agaro Cold Press Juicer Cleaning
One of the exciting aspects of the Agaro Cold Press Juicer is its ease of cleaning. The package has a special brush and cleaning tool to clean the filters properly.
Agaro does not offer a self-cleaning mode, but we suggest running the machine with plain water for a few minutes to allow the pulp and seed residue to flush out. Then, users can disassemble the product and clean the filters after every use.
Warranty
Agaro offers a one-year product warranty. Besides, it provides a 5-year warranty on the motor. Other models offer better warranties.
Agaro Cold Press Juicer – Nearest Competitors
Agaro – Royal Commercial Series – This model is bigger than the Imperial series we have reviewed. It is more suited for commercial establishments like restaurants and juicing centers because the motor can run continuously for nearly 120 minutes. This machine has a broader feeder tube. The rotation speed is 65 rpm.
Hestia Nutri Max Cold Press Juicer – The Hestia model is closest to the Agaro Imperial Series Cold Press Juicer in appearance and performance. However, the Agaro model is comparatively priced lower, making it a better proposition. But Hestia offers a 10-year warranty on the motor. Agaro has a 5-year warranty.
Kuvings B1700 Cold Press Juicer – Kuvings B1700 seems to be a better performer than Agaro, but the model is expensive. Besides, the smoothie and sorbet strainers must be purchased separately, making the juicer more expensive. However, Kuvings offers a 12-year warranty. So it provides more value for money.
Final Verdict
Agaro Cold Press Juicer is a good product capable of extracting maximum juice from fruits and selected vegetables. Though it has shortcomings, we recommend this juicer because of its affordability. It is an excellent juicer for domestic use. But if you run a commercial outlet, we suggest going for the Royal Commercial Series because its motor can function continuously for two hours.
