Juicer Help....? (UK!)

Ok so Im technologically stumped!!

I havent a clue where to start!!

I am looking for the best juicer I can get on a budget! (preferably WAAAAAAY less than £100!)

I am hoping to make green juices, so will be needing to juice vegetables and leaves as much as fruits!!

Any help would be fantastic!!

    I've just bought one of these:

    It's a blender that does dips / smoothies / soup / ice so I guess you could use it for juice but it's a lot more useful, you will get all the extra fibre too from the bits proper juicing machines throw away. It's super bargain they are over £100 in Currys!!!

    I make awesome smoothies with my blender! But you cant really make juice with them :( Sucks but its really really difficult to separate the juice from the pulp!

    Thanks though :) x

    Champion are the best but aren't affordable for those of us on a budget! I bought a £75 Phillips one after going away for a two week juice fast a year ago but it isn't very good, you get a lot of fruit or veg in the pulp bucket.

    I'm not sure if any of the lower price ones are any good so I'll see if anyone else come sin with a recommendation.

    No worries!!
    I've seen quite a lot of them while I've been looking at blenders last few days, amazon has loads in and they all have reviews so good for seeing which is best for what you want it to do :-)

  • I love my Breville but it isn't cheap. If you want to juice greens and veg you need a good juicer. I speak from experience. Just save until you can afford a decent one. Until then just do smoothies.

    Ditto. I went from a cheap Jack Lelane juicer to a Breville and I started getting almost double the juice back. You can make decent fruit-based smoothies with the cheaper ones but you won't be able to properly juice greens; its just kinda how it is :-/
