Woman in Real Life

My daughter (who is also my youngest child) is heading into year four of university (yes, I’m emotional just typing that). This year she’ll continue to live in a small home shared with two roommates. While the apartment has its perks over a small dorm room (a full kitchen, a cozy living room to hang out in and watch movies with friends), it also comes with typical university space constraints: a tight kitchen, shared counter space and roommates whose sleep needs to be respected (ie., no noisy juicer running at 7 a.m.).

So, what did I get her as a little “you’ve got this” gift as she looks towards her final year of undergrad? The H310 Easy Clean Compact Juicer—and I’m telling you, it is a total game-changer. A real MVP for my health-focused Kinesiology student.

A Juicer That Actually Fits in Student Life

First off, this juicer is smaller than the usual juicer. When you’re living in a student apartment with limited counter space, the last thing you want is a huge appliance taking over the kitchen. The H310 is compact enough to tuck into a corner next to the toaster, yet it’s still powerful enough to handle all the fruits and veggies. Plus, it’s sleek, modern and attractive, so it blends right in with their minimalist chic, IKEA décor.

If you’re someone who likes to keep your countertops clean and clutter-free, the H310’s compact design is a game-changer. It’s small enough to be tucked away in a cabinet (it's 15.5" high) when not in use, making it perfect for anyone who wants to store their juicer out of sight and maintain that clean kitchen vibe.

Bonus: The H310 is exceptionally light, which makes it even more perfect for my daughter—who can take it on weekend trips to visit friends or family (including mom, of course!). She can easily pack it in a suitcase (yes, really!) and take it on the road, so she never has to go without her fresh juice—even when she's away from home. I've been known to travel everywhere with my milk frother, so I understand the inclination.

I wanted to gift a small appliance that wouldn’t get shoved in a cupboard, forgotten after a week. This juicer is perfect—it’s cute, unobtrusive, and best of all, quiet. It makes a kind of soft, gentle munching noise you can hardly notice, like somebody chewing on an apple. 

Easy to Use = Time for Studies

Now, let’s talk about ease of use—because no one has time for complicated gadgets in a busy student apartment. The H310 is a slow juicer, meaning it uses a masticating process to gently squeeze juice from fruits and veggies. That means more nutrients preserved and less foam.

One of the best things about this juicer? The self-feeding hopper. My daughter can just toss in a chopped-up apple, a handful of spinach, and a couple of mango chunks, and the juicer takes care of the rest. No need for her to stand there poking things down or holding onto a plunger—perfect for a busy college student who doesn’t have time for extra steps.

And the clean-up? It’s a breeze. The juicer comes apart quickly, and there are only a few parts to rinse off. It cleans up in less than five minutes—which works well in a home shared by three very tidy roommates (they have cleaning charts!). Plus, with less time spent cleaning, she has more time to focus on what matters most—her studies and her health goals.

Boosting Brain Power + Health Goals

Let’s face it—university life can be stressful. Late-night study sessions, early-morning classes, and the juggling of work and social life can leave you feeling drained. That’s why I love that this juicer helps my daughter stay on top of her health goals. Whether it’s a green juice packed with vitamins to boost brain function, or a refreshing citrus smoothie to fuel her for a busy day, the H310 makes it easy for her to add more nutrients into her diet without spending hours in the kitchen.

The fresh juices from the H310 are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals—all the good stuff she needs to fuel her body and mind. Juicing kale, spinach, and other brain-boosting greens is a quick and delicious way for her to stay sharp during long study sessions. Plus, the boost in energy from nutrient-dense juices helps her power through those late-night assignments. She’s feeling better, thinking clearer, and getting the most out of her studies.

Part of Hurom’s Easy Clean Series: Say Goodbye to the Scrub!

One of the standout features of the H310 is that it’s part of Hurom’s Easy Clean Series, which means they’ve really nailed the clean-up process. A common issue with many juicers is the mineral build-up that happens on conventional strainers. You know, that icky stuff that dries on the mesh and turns into an absolute nightmare to scrub off? Well, the H310 doesn’t have a traditional strainer. Its innovative strainer-free auger design ensures you get a smooth, nutrient-rich juice with zero pulp build-up—and no mineral residue to worry about. This is a huge win for anyone who doesn’t have time to spend hours scrubbing after every use (read: any college or university student).

Healthier Choices Without the Smoothie Bar Price Tag

Let’s be real for a second: university students don’t always have the budget for juice bars or fancy smoothie bowls. But the H310 makes it super easy (and much more affordable) to make fresh juices, smoothies, and even frozen fruit sorbets, particularly when the juicer was gifted from Mom. I love that she can pop some frozen fruit in there and have a refreshing treat, or mix together some kale, cucumber, and apple for a quick detox juice without having to drop $8 at a café.

And her roommates are actually getting in on it too. They’re making grocery lists together to pick up some fresh produce for juicing. I’m just over here waiting for them to start a juicing club. (Do you think they'd let me join?) Healthy, budget-friendly, and bonding over shared meals? Couldn’t ask for more.

Final Thoughts from a Mom Who’s Been There

If you’re a parent shopping for back-to-school for a college or university student (especially one in an apartment with roommates), the Hurom H310 is an absolute win. It doesn’t take up space, it’s quiet, it’s easy to clean, and it’s a much better way to get them on track for healthy habits than another coffee maker or ramen cooker. Plus, it’s the gift that keeps on giving, as it’s helping her save money while still nourishing her body with fresh, homemade juices.

Honestly, I wish I had something like this when I was in school. I definitely would have eaten more vegetables instead of ordering late-night pizza. Definitely maybe.

When gifting the juicer, here are some care package ingredients that pair perfectly with it:

• A bag of frozen mango or berries (so she’s ready to juice!)

• Fresh lemons or oranges for a vitamin C boost

• Reusable juice jars (because she’s going to need somewhere to store all that deliciousness) or cleaned jam jars

• Reusable straws

• A cute produce brush to give those fresh fruits and veggies a good scrub

Trust me, she’ll feel so spoiled as she heads back to school!
