Centrifugal vs Slow Juicers: Is a €99 Juicer Actually Worth It?

14. April 2026

For nearly 20 years, we’ve built our entire philosophy around slow juicers. In fact, we were among the first to introduce them from South Korea into Europe—and to this day, we still believe they are the best choice for most people.

So why are we now offering a centrifugal juicer for just €99?

Let’s take a closer look.

The Key Difference

At the most basic level, the difference comes down to how the juice is extracted.

A slow juicer gently squeezes juice from ingredients using low speed and high pressure. This preserves quality and maximizes yield.

A centrifugal juicer, on the other hand, works at very high speed. It shreds ingredients and uses force to spin the juice out.

In simple terms:
Slow = gentle and efficient
Centrifugal = fast and aggressive

Why Consider a Centrifugal Juicer?

1. Price: A Low Barrier to Entry

One of the biggest advantages is affordability.

Most high-quality slow juicers start around €500 and go up from there. A centrifugal juicer like the Vidia CJ-001, at €99, offers a much more accessible starting point.

If you’re curious about juicing but not ready to invest heavily, this is an easy way to begin. For many people, a centrifugal juicer is actually how the journey begins. It’s quick, affordable, and easy to use. You can experiment, build the habit, and see if juicing fits your lifestyle.

If it does, upgrading to a slow juicer later often makes sense—and that’s where you’ll really see the long-term benefits.

Yes, the juice quality in a centrifugal is lower and ingredient options are more limited—but it’s still significantly better than most store-bought juices, which are often pasteurized or made from concentrate.

2. Speed: Where It Really Shines

Speed is where centrifugal juicers truly stand out.

A typical juice with a slow juicer can take 5–10 minutes. With a centrifugal juicer, you can often make a juice in under a minute.

That makes it ideal for:

Busy mornings
Office use
Holiday homes or occasional use

It’s also why many juice bars still rely on centrifugal machines, they’re simply fast.

The Trade-Offs

That speed comes with compromises.

With a centrifugal juicer, you’ll typically notice:

More foam
Slightly lower juice yield
Wetter pulp

And some ingredients just don’t perform well, especially leafy greens, celery, or fibrous roots like turmeric.

This is where slow juicers are clearly superior.

What Makes the Vidia CJ-001 Interesting?

If you are considering a centrifugal juicer, there are a few things that make this juicer stand out:

Made in South Korea (rare in this category)
Stainless steel juicing components for better hygiene and durability
Dishwasher-safe parts for easy cleanup

These details don’t change the fundamentals, but they do improve the overall experience.

Final Thoughts

If you’re serious about juicing long-term, a slow juicer is still the better investment. It offers higher quality juice, better yield, and far greater versatility.

But if you’re just getting started, or you want something fast, simple, and affordable, a centrifugal juicer can absolutely make sense.

At €99, it’s one of the easiest ways to begin. And ultimately, that’s what matters most: Start juicing.
