A decent juicer no longer costs a fortune: the 8 picks here range from £31.39 to £88.99, covering cold press, centrifugal and citrus styles to suit most UK kitchens. Cold press models run quietly and extract more nutrients, while centrifugal juicers get a glass on the table in under a minute. Read on and you will find the right machine for your morning routine.
What to look for
01Cold press vs centrifugal: which type suits you?
Cold press (masticating) juicers use a slow-turning auger, typically spinning at 40-80 rpm, to crush and squeeze produce. Because there is little heat or air introduced, the juice retains more vitamins and keeps in the fridge for up to 72 hours. The trade-off is speed: expect 3-5 minutes to fill a glass. Centrifugal juicers spin a shredding disc at 6,000-14,000 rpm, producing juice in seconds, but the foam and oxidation mean you should drink it straight away. For busy weekday mornings, centrifugal wins on convenience. If you juice daily and care about nutrient density, or you want to batch-prep juice for the week, a cold press model is worth the extra prep time. Both types work on the UK 240V mains supply without an adaptor.
02Motor wattage and what it means in practice
Wattage figures on juicers can be misleading. A centrifugal juicer listed at 900W is quoting peak draw; the continuous motor rating is often 400W, as seen on the FOHERE model. Cold press juicers run at much lower wattage, sometimes 150-200W, because the slow auger needs less power. On a UK 240V circuit, even a 900W peak draw is well within a standard 13A plug fuse, so there is no wiring concern. What matters more is torque: a stronger motor handles hard vegetables such as carrots and beetroot without stalling. If you plan to juice mostly soft fruit, a 400-600W centrifugal is perfectly adequate. For hard root vegetables or leafy greens, look for a cold press model or a centrifugal rated at 800W or above.
03Feed chute size and prep time
A wide feed chute saves you chopping time. Most centrifugal juicers in this guide feature a 3-inch (approximately 76mm) chute, wide enough to fit a whole apple or a halved orange without pre-cutting. The NutriBullet 800W also quotes a 3-inch chute. Cold press juicers tend to have narrower chutes, so you will need to quarter apples and roughly chop celery before feeding them in. If you are short on time in the morning, a wide-chute centrifugal is the more practical choice. If your kitchen worktop space is tight, note that cold press machines are generally taller and narrower, often fitting within a 200mm footprint, while centrifugal models tend to be wider. Measure your under-cupboard clearance before buying: most UK kitchen cupboards sit around 450mm above the worktop.
04Cleaning and dishwasher compatibility
Cleaning is the main reason people stop using a juicer. Centrifugal juicers have fewer parts and most components are dishwasher safe, including the NutriBullet's 1.5L pulp basin and juicer pitcher. Cold press juicers have more components, including the auger, strainer drum and juice bowl, but they produce drier pulp that rinses off more easily than the wet, sticky residue from a centrifugal filter basket. If you live in a hard-water area (most of England and Wales), limescale can build up on plastic components over time. A monthly soak in a diluted citric acid solution keeps parts clear. Avoid abrasive scourers on stainless steel components, particularly on the NutriChef citrus juicer, which has a stainless steel finish.
05Price and 90-day value
All eight picks here sit under £90, but prices fluctuate. The NutriBullet 800W is currently £88.99 but has dropped to £56.00 in the past 90 days, a saving of nearly 37%. The two AMZCHEF cold press models are both £69.99 at time of writing, down from a 90-day low of £59.49. At the budget end, the Reemix 800W centrifugal is £31.39, and the Juilist 900W is £31.95. If you are not in a hurry, it is worth adding the NutriBullet to a price-tracker wishlist on Amazon UK and waiting for a deal. The FOHERE at £36.99 has held its price steadily, suggesting it is unlikely to drop significantly.
Our top picks
Best cold press juicer for daily useAMZCHEF Cold Press Juicer Machines
Priced at £69.99 (90-day low: £59.49), the AMZCHEF slow masticating juicer has earned 4.5 stars from nearly 6,000 Amazon UK reviews. The cold press auger is designed to handle whole fruits and vegetables, reducing prep time, and the kit includes two cups and a recipe booklet.

Best centrifugal juicer for quick morning juicenutribullet 800W Centrifugal Juicer
The NutriBullet 800W centrifugal juicer currently sits at £88.99, but it hit a 90-day low of £56.00, making it one of the best-value drops in this category. The 3-inch wide chute takes whole fruit, the 1.5L pulp basin handles large batches, and the 800ml pitcher has a no-drip spout. Two speed settings let you switch between soft citrus and harder root vegetables.
Best budget centrifugal juicer under £40Juicer Machines
At £36.99, the FOHERE centrifugal juicer offers a 400W continuous motor (900W peak) and a 3-inch feed chute for whole fruit. Three speed settings give more control than most rivals at this price. A cleaning brush is included, which matters because the fine mesh filter basket is the hardest part to rinse. Rated 4.1 stars from over 1,200 reviews.
Best no-frills juicer for occasional useJuicer
The Reemix 800W centrifugal juicer is the cheapest pick here at £31.39, with a 90-day low of £27.87. It has a 3-inch wide mouth chute, two speed settings, and comes with a cleaning brush. Rated 4.0 stars from over 1,100 reviews. It will not handle daily heavy-duty juicing, but for occasional weekend use it is hard to fault at this price.
Best citrus juicer for orange and lemon juiceNutriChef Electric Juicer Citrus
The NutriChef electric citrus juicer is £39.99 and is the only dedicated citrus machine in this guide. The stainless steel construction resists limescale build-up, which is a real advantage in hard-water areas across southern England. The manual press handle and adjustable pulp filter let you control juice texture, and all parts are dishwasher safe. Rated 4.4 stars from 529 reviews.
Best cold press juicer if you skip pre-filteringAMZCHEF Juicer Machines
This AMZCHEF variant at £69.99 (90-day low: £59.49) is designed with a delicate chew mechanism that the brand says removes the need for a separate filtering step, saving washing-up time. It shares the same 4.5-star rating and 5,955-review count as its sibling model. A good option if you find straining juice an extra chore you would rather avoid.
Frequently asked
Is a cold press juicer worth the extra money?
Cold press juicers extract more juice from leafy greens and soft fruit, produce less foam, and the juice keeps in the fridge for up to 72 hours rather than needing to be drunk immediately. If you juice every day and want to batch-prep, the extra cost is justified. If you juice two or three times a week and mostly use hard fruit, a centrifugal model at under £40 will do the job without the longer prep and clean-up time.
What is the difference between a masticating juicer and a centrifugal juicer?
A masticating (cold press) juicer uses a slow-spinning auger to crush and squeeze produce, introducing minimal heat or air. A centrifugal juicer uses a high-speed spinning disc to shred fruit and force juice through a mesh filter. Centrifugal models are faster and cheaper but produce more foam and oxidise the juice more quickly. Masticating models are quieter, slower, and better for leafy greens and nutrient retention.
Can I put a whole apple in a juicer?
With a centrifugal juicer that has a 3-inch (76mm) feed chute, such as the NutriBullet 800W or the FOHERE 900W, a small to medium apple fits whole. Larger apples may need halving. Cold press juicers typically have narrower chutes, so apples should be quartered first. Always remove hard stones from fruit such as peaches or plums before juicing, as these can damage the blade or auger.
How do I clean a juicer quickly?
Rinse all removable parts under cold water immediately after use, before pulp dries on. Most centrifugal juicer components, including the NutriBullet's pulp basin and pitcher, are dishwasher safe. For the fine mesh filter basket, use the included cleaning brush and warm soapy water. Cold press juicers have more parts but the drier pulp rinses off more easily. In hard-water areas, a monthly soak in diluted citric acid prevents limescale build-up on plastic and stainless steel parts.
Which juicer is best for someone on a tight budget?
The Reemix 800W centrifugal juicer at £31.39 is the cheapest option here and is rated 4.0 stars from over 1,100 reviews. The Juilist 900W at £31.95 is a close alternative with a 4.2-star rating. Both have 3-inch wide chutes and two speed settings. For occasional use, either will serve you well. If you can stretch to £36.99, the FOHERE adds a third speed setting and has a slightly larger review base.
