Rank #1 in Best Slow Juicer 2026: Nine Ranked, and Two Listings That Contradict Themselves
Fretta Cold Press Juicer, 135mm Chute, 1.8L Hopper
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Fretta cold press juicer takes the top slot in this guide. It is a 250W masticating machine with a 135mm feed chute and a 1.8-litre hopper, sold in black at £84.98, rated 4.6 out of 5 from 1,531 ratings. The listing's own pitch is that whole fruits and vegetables go in without pre-cutting, that the hopper holds enough produce to cut down on refills, and that the machine cleans in about five minutes with the supplied brush.
This is also the cleanest example in the guide of the problem the guide is built around: the same field does not mean the same thing twice. The 'Capacity: 1.8 litres' line on this listing is the hopper you load fruit into, not the jug you pour from, and one review on the page talks about a 1L capacity instead. The listing also carries two model numbers of its own - F5000 as the model name and F4500 as the model number - and its material line is split between PCTG in the title and Tritan in the bullet text. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as written, not from a juicer we bought and tested.
How those 1,531 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Really impressed with this cold press juicer! The large feeding chute makes it so convenient to add whole fruits and vegetables without spending ages chopping everything first. It produces fresh, great-tasting juice with good yield, and the self-feeding design makes the whole process simple and effortless. The 1L capacity is also ideal for making enough juice for the family. Easy to use, practical and a great addition to the kitchen. Highly recommended!”
Verified purchase“I've been using this juicer for about a week now and I'm really enjoying it! The large feeding chute means I don't have to spend ages chopping everything up. I've tried apples, carrots and oranges and the juice comes out smooth with very little pulp. It's easy to use, reasonably quiet and not too difficult to clean. Really happy with it so far and I'd definitely recommend it!”
