Overview
['The 809 runs at 240W with a single speed and uses an Ultem PEI auger paired with an ABS housing. Ultem is a high-strength polymer widely used in masticating juicers for its durability and resistance to wear from repeated use on hard produce. The 20.3 oz juice bowl is a useful spec to see listed, as many competitors omit bowl capacity entirely.', 'The machine measures 7.5 by 8.5 by 19.7 inches and weighs 18.3 lb. The nearly 20-inch height means you will need to measure clearance under upper cabinets before placing it on the counter. The color is listed as black with an upgraded motor designation, suggesting Ventray has iterated on earlier versions.', 'At $149.99 with 438 reviews at 4.3 stars, the 809 presents a strong case for shoppers in this price range. The 240V rating is the most important thing to verify before ordering, as it may not be compatible with standard US household outlets without a converter.']
Performance notes
At 240W, the 809 has substantially more motor power than 150W competitors. The Ultem PEI auger is harder and more durable than standard polycarbonate augers. The 20.3 oz collection bowl is on the larger side for a personal-use slow juicer. Dimensions are 7.5 by 8.5 by 19.7 inches, meaning it needs nearly 20 inches of vertical clearance. Weight is 18.3 lb. The 240V rating is a critical compatibility point for US buyers.
What buyers say
Four hundred and thirty-eight reviews at 4.3 stars is a solid and meaningful sample for a sub-$150 juicer. The volume of reviews suggests this model has been selling consistently, and the above-average rating indicates repeat-buyer satisfaction. The voltage note is a practical concern that buyers regularly raise in this model's review section.
Is the Ventray 809 compatible with standard US 110V outlets?
The unit is listed at 240V, which is not the standard household voltage in the United States. Most US homes have 110V to 120V outlets. Running a 240V appliance on 110V without an appropriate step-up transformer can damage the motor or result in poor performance. Confirm compatibility with the seller before purchasing for use in a standard US kitchen.
What is the Ultem PEI auger and why does it matter?
Ultem is the trade name for polyetherimide, a high-performance engineering plastic that is harder and more abrasion-resistant than standard polycarbonate. In a masticating juicer, the auger grinds and presses produce repeatedly, so material durability matters for long-term use. Ultem augers are found in several premium slow juicer brands and are generally considered an upgrade over basic plastic augers.
How loud is the Ventray 809 during operation?
Masticating juicers as a category are significantly quieter than centrifugal juicers because they operate at low RPMs. The 809 at 240W may be slightly louder than 150W single-speed machines under heavy load, but it should still be quiet enough to run in the morning without disrupting others in the house. Exact noise levels vary with produce type and fill level.
