The Sana 818 is the younger sibling of the premium Sana 878 — built around the same hands-free juicing idea, but in a compact, more accessible form for everyday fresh juice. It gives customers an easier way to choose Sana, with EcoHub’s local support and launch stock ready to ship in South Africa.

Fill the hopper, walk away
The Sana 818 is a self-feeding cold press juicer: load the 1,600 ml automatic hopper with whole fruit and vegetables, switch it on, and let the dual-blade system sort, cut and feed everything in for you. No standing over the machine pushing pieces through one at a time.
A circular opening in the lid lets you drop in extra ginger or greens while it runs, and the built-in juice tap lets you mix and pour when you’re ready. It’s an automatic slow juicer built for a real morning routine — carrot, apple and ginger before work; cucumber and celery on the way out.
Compact, without the compromise
Sana set the juicing chamber lower inside the motor body and trimmed the overall dimensions, so the 818 keeps a neat footprint (17.9 × 20.7 × 43.6 cm) and slides in comfortably under wall cupboards. For singles, couples and smaller households — or anyone short on counter space — it’s a practical compact vertical cold press juicer rather than a scaled-down one.
The soft-white finish, smooth curves and simple rotary dial keep it understated, and the few parts that need washing come apart quickly for easy cleaning after each use.
Why 50 RPM matters more than wattage
The 818 uses a 150 W slow-juicing system based on Hurom’s proven cold-press design, turning at a gentle 50 RPM. With cold press juicers, a bigger wattage number on the box doesn’t mean better juice — a slow juicer isn’t meant to spin like a blender. Efficient gearing and low-speed torque press produce gently through a stainless steel screen, keeping the machine quiet and the juice smooth, with less foam and oxidation than fast centrifugal machines.
The Sana 818 is built on Hurom’s proven slow-juicing design — the same low-speed pressing approach that defines the Sana range — in a compact model made to sit at a more accessible price. — Sana 818 · Hurom slow-juicing design

Where the Sana 818 sits in the self-feeding range
Hands-free juicers now run from budget OEM machines to large premium batch juicers. The 818 lands deliberately in the middle: specialist-brand engineering at the most accessible point.
If you want maximum capacity, extra screens or the longest warranties, the premium tier earns its price. If you want genuine specialist build at the lowest entry point, that’s exactly the gap the 818 was made for.

Sana 818 — frequently asked questions
What is the Sana 818?
The Sana 818 is a self-feeding (automatic) vertical cold press juicer. You fill its 1,600 ml hopper with whole produce and a dual-blade system cuts and feeds it through at a slow 50 RPM, so you get smooth cold press juice without feeding each piece by hand.
How is the Sana 818 different from the Sana 878?
Both are self-feeding Sana juicers. The 818 is the compact, more affordable model with a 1,600 ml hopper and a single screen, built for everyday juicing in smaller kitchens. The 878 is the larger flagship, with a 2,000 ml hopper, three screens, a vacuum storage container and a stainless steel pulp bowl, for larger households and bigger batches.
Where is the Sana 818 made?
The Sana 818 is manufactured in China and built on Hurom’s slow-juicing design. Sana’s premium models, such as the 878, are crafted in South Korea. Across the range, the shared thread is Hurom’s proven cold-press design.
Is the Sana 818 worth it over a cheaper hands-free juicer?
It depends on what you want. Budget hands-free juicers cost less and juice everyday fruit and veg perfectly well. The 818 steps up to Hurom’s slow-juicing design, a more refined compact build and local after-sales support with genuine Sana parts. If you want larger capacity or the longest warranties, look at the premium tier such as the Sana 878 or the Kuvings AUTO 10.
Does higher wattage mean a better juicer?
Not with cold press juicers. A slow juicer applies steady pressure at low speed rather than spinning fast. The 818’s 150 W system, based on Hurom’s slow-juicing design, uses efficient gearing and low-speed torque to press produce gently and consistently, which keeps it quiet and protects juice quality.
Is the Sana 818 good for celery and leafy greens?
It handles celery, ginger and greens as part of everyday mixed juices. For heavy leafy-green, celery and wheatgrass juicing, a horizontal Sana (707, 727 or 929) is the stronger choice. Cut long, fibrous ingredients into shorter pieces before juicing.
Where can I buy the Sana 818 in South Africa?
The Sana 818 is available from EcoHub, South Africa’s official Sana importer, and from SanaStore.co.za, the official home of Sana Products in South Africa. Both carry the R5,499 launch offer, local warranty support and genuine Sana spare parts.
Can I pay for the Sana 818 in instalments?
Yes. Through SanaStore.co.za you can split the Sana 818 into 3 zero-interest instalments of R1,833 with PayJustNow. EcoHub offers its own secure payment and pay-over-time options at checkout.
