Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Would a maker-listed 2-liter produce hopper change how you load ingredients?
Sana USA identifies a 2-L self-feeding hopper. The 67.6-fl-oz equivalent is produce loading space, not juice volume or yield.

The exact U.S. page lists a 1,500-ml vacuum receiver; capacity describes the vessel and not the juice amount a recipe extracts.

Sana lists a separate smoothie screen for the 868 but lists fine, coarse and sorbet screens—not a smoothie screen—for the 878.
Explore this need in the finder →The Sana 878 Self-Feeding Juicer is a vertical single-auger machine for shoppers who want to load more produce at once and reduce repeated hand-feeding. Sana USA’s exact U.S. product data identifies black SKU 878BlkNew and red SKU 878RedNew, each listed as a 120-volt configuration. Its U.S. page specifies a 2-liter hopper, a 1,500-ml vacuum receiver, 50 rpm, 200 W, and three screen setups. The central caution is that the 878 manual linked on Sana’s global site states 220–240 V, so it is not the manual to use with the U.S. unit.
What “self-feeding” changes
Sana describes a 2-liter hopper with a dual-blade mechanism that sorts, cuts and feeds produce, plus a small circular opening in the lid for adding ingredients. This is a real distinction from the Sana 868: the 868’s 3¼-inch trap-door opening is wider, but its U.S. materials do not describe a preloaded, automatic-feed hopper. The 878 is the more relevant of these two if your routine involves repeated ingredients and you want to stage a batch before starting. “No prep necessary” is the maker’s headline, not a guarantee that all ingredients go in whole or that the machine safely handles every food. The global 878 manual’s preparation section says to cut produce to fit the hopper, and it warns that very soft fruit can build up. However, that manual is explicitly rated for 220–240 V, whereas the U.S. product page lists 120 V. Its preparation and operation details are therefore not adopted as U.S. instructions. Plan to wash and prepare ingredients as appropriate, and use the exact U.S. manual supplied with the machine before operating it.Three screens, not the 868’s four
The U.S. page lists fine and coarse juicing screens plus a sorbet screen. Sana describes the fine setup for more ordinary produce and the coarser one for softer fruit or a pulpier style. The sorbet screen is a separate installed setup; it is not an extra mode that runs at the same time as the fine screen. Unlike the 868, the 878’s listed package does not include a separate smoothie screen. If a smoothie strainer is essential, the 868’s product page does list one, while the 878 page does not. Sana’s U.S. materials also describe a 1,500-ml vacuum juice container and a hand pump. The container is roughly 50.7 U.S. fluid ounces by unit conversion, and its nominal storage capacity is not expected juice yield. Sana’s three-day storage period is a product claim, not proof of safe storage; follow U.S. instructions and food-safety guidance.The regional manual is not a U.S. guide
The current U.S. listing names a 120-V machine and gives 200 W, 50 rpm, 13.8 pounds, 8 × 10 × 18¾ inches, and a 15-year warranty headline. Black 878BlkNew and red 878RedNew are finish variants; the available black product image depicts the hopper and body, not the full list of accessories or the condition of an individual retail unit. Warranty conditions were not established in the listing captured for this review. Sana Products’ global page links a manual whose cover is for the Sana 878, but the manual’s safety page says not to use it in countries with a different voltage than 230–240 V and its specification page lists 220–240 V. That conflicts with the U.S. listing’s 120-V rating. The model-family name alone does not reconcile the electrical configuration, and a plug adapter cannot change voltage. Do not use that regional PDF as the U.S. operating guide; ask Sana USA or the seller for the exact North American manual. Dishwasher, run-time, assembly and cleaning instructions for the U.S. unit are not treated as established here.Hopper volume and juice volume are different
The 2-liter figure is the produce hopper’s loading volume, not the amount of juice the machine will extract. The separate vacuum receiver holds 1,500 ml. Sana also lists a large stainless-steel pulp container but publishes no numeric capacity. Product-page copy about making juice ahead describes the intended convenience, not a measured extraction batch or guarantee of shelf life. For counter planning, the page lists the assembled sequence as 8 × 10 × 18¾ inches without naming width and depth; do not assign those axes from a photograph. Measure the assembled machine and the space needed to lift or open the hopper, load ingredients, remove the pitcher and reach the sink. Its 13.8-pound listed weight may also matter if the unit will be moved regularly.Who it suits—and who should pass
The 878 is worth considering when batch-loading is an essential convenience, a nominal 2-liter produce hopper is useful, and the package’s 1,500-ml vacuum receiver is a fit. The 868 is the contrasting option when reducing cutting through a wide feed opening and getting a separate smoothie screen matter more than automated feeding. A horizontal 707C or 727 is a different family if you prefer an auger laid across the counter. Do not choose the 878 for a verified dishwasher-safe parts requirement, a U.S.-manual-confirmed sorbet procedure, or a specific uninterrupted-run minimum based on the global manual; those details remain unresolved for the 120-V offer. The screen count and vessel capacities are useful listed differences, but they do not predict yield, taste, noise, or cleaning time. No independent performance or ownership testing is claimed.
