Hurom H75 Slow Juicer: Cleaning Time and Washing Tips
The Hurom H75 can be cleaned in just 5 to 7 minutes if washed immediately after use.
If you let the pulp dry before washing, the same task takes more than 20 minutes. In the end, what determines cleaning time is not the product's performance but the timing of the wash. Combining user feedback and reviews: the auto-clean function alone takes 1–2 minutes, a basic rinse takes 5–10 minutes, a thorough disassembled cleaning takes 10–15 minutes, and a deep clean with potassium permanganate or other cleaning agents takes 15–20 minutes. This article covers the variables that affect cleaning time, care tips for each part, and practical routines to cut the time down.
Why the H75 Cleans Quickly
The BISTEM Mechanism Reduces the Burden
The Hurom H75 is a vertical slow juicer released in 2022 and the successor to the H-AI (H100). Its blade-free BISTEM mechanism grinds and squeezes ingredients quietly, and fewer ingredients get stuck in the parts. Compared to the traditional strainer (mesh) method, it has fewer parts to wash, and based on user reviews, cleaning time is estimated to be 30–50% shorter.
The Roles of Auto-Clean and the Mega Hopper
The auto-clean function, which runs the machine with just water, handles the first rinse. With the unit assembled, adding 1–2 cups of warm water and running it for 30 seconds to 1 minute removes most of the residue. The spacious mega hopper also reduces the burden of prepping ingredients, and long-term users consistently report that cleaning and maintenance have become far easier.
What Changes Cleaning Time
The Deciding Factor: 'Do You Wash Right Away?'
The most common advice in user reviews is to wash within 5 minutes of finishing juicing. Washing immediately resolves 80% of the residue with water alone. Once the pulp dries and hardens, scrubbing becomes necessary, and ingredients like carrots and beets can cause discoloration. The timeline is simple: wash right away and it takes 5–7 minutes; let it dry and it takes over 20 minutes.
It Also Depends on the Ingredients
On days when you juice fibrous celery or leafy greens, fibers lodge in the gauze and mesh, lengthening the process. Carrots, beets, and berries have strong pigments, and skipping an immediate rinse leaves stains. If stains have already set, soak the parts in warm water (40–50°C) with 1–2 spoons of sodium percarbonate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to restore them. This deep clean, done once a week, takes only 15–20 minutes.
Part-by-Part Difficulty and Tailored Care
Parts That Just Need a Rinse
The juice strainer, auger (screw), and rotating brush shed residue easily under running water. Not being the parts that consume most of the cleaning time is one of the H75's strengths.
The Time-Consumers Are the Packing and Mesh
The rubber packing and ring parts easily trap residue in their crevices and require a toothbrush. Left unattended, they can cause mold, so it is recommended to detach and scrub them with a toothbrush once a week. Check the packing for wear every 1–2 years and replace it through a service center if needed. When fibers get stuck in the juice cup or mesh, using the dedicated cleaning brush (included) cuts the time significantly.
The 5-Minute Practical Routine
Set a Three-Step Order to Eliminate Wasted Movement
First, unplug the unit and disassemble it before the parts dry. Then rinse in this order: hopper, scoop, auger, rotating brush, strainer, juice cup, base — this minimizes movement. Finally, scrub the feeding chute and packing crevices with the dedicated brush and dry everything completely in the shade. Following this routine completes cleaning within 5–10 minutes on most days.
Prepare Water in Advance
Preparing slightly warm water — warmer than drinking water — before juicing lets you run the auto-clean function right after finishing. However, avoid hot water above 50°C, as it can deform plastic parts. The dishwasher is also off-limits: the rubber packing can deform or discolor, so hand washing is a must.
Two Precautions to Keep in Mind
Water must never enter the main body — the motor section — which should only be wiped with a damp towel. Assembling the unit while it is still wet invites mold and odors, so thorough drying is essential.
Compared to Competing Models
Clear Advantages Over Older and Rival Models
The Hurom H-AI (H100) takes a similar 5–10 minutes, but older Hurom models like the H200 and 310A require 10–15 minutes due to strainer disassembly. Rival vertical juicers take 8–15 minutes, while Omega horizontal models, requiring three types of mesh to be washed, take 10–15 minutes or more. The H75 is among the easiest juicers to clean, manageable for daily use with an average daily investment of 5–10 minutes.
Three Things to Remember
First, immediate cleaning is best — the difference between 5–7 minutes and over 20 minutes comes down to a single habit. Second, using the auto-clean function daily reduces the burden of hand washing. Third, set up separate tools for each part — a toothbrush for the packing and the dedicated brush for the mesh — and even full disassembled cleaning takes only about 10 minutes. Like the joke that six months after cooking a meal you're back where you started, cleaning is a daily repetition — but the H75 is a product that compresses that repetition into under 5 minutes.
