The problem with Kuvings CB1000 auto vacuum

Vacuum blenders remove air that would otherwise cause things like smoothies to oxidize much faster.

Never had a problem with mine. You need to contact kuvings.

[@DerekNheiley]

i did contact then, after some questions back and forth i decided to return it, not the machine for me 😢

[@liyahb5567]

I’ve been thinking about purchasing this. Now I’m hesitant

[@DerekNheiley]

i think if you use less frozen ingredients, and liquid, and keep the overall volume low, you might have better luck

No warranty??

[@hmmcrd]

Hi Derek, thank you for posting this. Does it break the vacuum seal frequently?

[@DerekNheiley]

Yes it does, it was about 1/3 the time for me, before i returned it. Mostly with more frozen ingredients that would cause the jar to rattle when starting out.

Does the juice taste better for real or it's just a marketing gimmick?

[@andrerodgers5809]

there is no gimmick , its a proven fact oxidation destroys the food , and promotes degradation of the cells. a easy way to try to is to blend a watermelon with a regular blender vs vacuum blender , you notice a subtle difference in the color/ pink and the taste is very bland, similar to watermelon powders.

[@DerekNheiley]

it does taste different, it’s very subtle, but i noticed it almost immediately, even though it wasn’t a reason i got a vacuum blender

[@jellojoe00]

Why does it need a vacuum?

[@mrsquid_]

i don't get it either

[@DerekNheiley]

Vacuum blenders suck out air that would otherwise oxidize the smoothie sooner. it also makes the smoothie taste better. it's a whole thing

[@shehateme9955]

Upgrades the nutrient value, taste & appearance. Also preserves longer. You get more out of your nutrition

[@RobertLombardi-r8o]

Did you get it replaced and working better with the replacement?

[@DerekNheiley]

I ended up returning mine. My daily smoothie with frozen fruit just has this issue to many times. Never heard from custom support after sending the unit back. I hope they come up with a work around if other people also run into this edge case.

I’ve had mine for a week and no issue with the vacuum seal. There’s multiple places it could leak. I noticed it is important to close the lid all the way or else it doesn’t seat against the seal well. I suspect one of the seals may have become unseated and just needed to be pressed back into place

[@roblumba]

I would also recommend putting all the frozen fruit at the bottom closest to the blade from the get go it starts breaking those down and reduces the jolting impacts from whole chunks hitting the blade individually. It’s better to use the strong motor to break down the frozen fruit immediately.
