We analysed the Amazon.co.uk subcategory Vegetable Mills and kept only products with at least 200 reviews and 4.3 stars — and the entire subcategory holds just 11 listings that qualify. Ranked by estimated monthly revenue, the top four earn real money, ranks 5 to 7 moved between two and six units, and the last three recorded no sales at all.
The revenue leader is a manual chopping bowl rather than a food mill, and with 18,665 reviews it is also the most reviewed listing here.

The best-earning genuine food mill in the list, with three discs and a 44% price fall over the observed period to £44.99.
The larger 900 ml version of the chopper at rank 1: £6.31 more for 400 ml of extra bowl, on its own pool of 11,116 reviews.
The most expensive entry here at £115.20 after a 74% rise, and at roughly five units a month a specialist purchase rather than a popular one.
The German classic, sold here under its Flotte Lotte name at £81.20, shipped by a German merchant and moving about two units a month.
A 2,811-review mill at £38.83 that still moved only about three units in the observed month, shipped from Germany rather than out of Amazon stock.
The cheapest entry here at £11.99 and the odd one out — a Japanese sesame grinder sold as a direct import, under a machine-translated title.
Listed at £54.13 with 713 reviews behind it, but no measurable sales in the observed month and a bestseller rank past 1.7 million.
Three grinding sizes for £43.68, but with no recorded sales in the observed month this is effectively a dormant listing.
The one mill here with a plastic body rather than all metal, at £34.72 and likewise without recorded sales in the observed month.

A food mill forces food through a perforated plate and leaves skins, pips and fibre behind in the hopper. A chopper cuts and keeps everything, tomato skin included. The two highest-earning listings here are choppers, which is the single most useful thing to know before buying from this page.
Most mills here ship with three plates, roughly fine, medium and coarse. The fine plate gives passata and baby food, the coarse one gives a chunky sauce or a rustic apple purée. A mill with one fixed plate has already made that choice for you.
A rotary mill works clamped over a pan or bowl, so the lugs underneath have to span your pan. A 19 cm mill perched on a wide stockpot tips at the worst moment, and the listing measurements are worth checking against the pan you actually use for sauce.
Everything on a rotary mill happens one-handed while the other steadies it, so how freely the blade sweeps and how the handle sits matter more than the steel grade. Two listings here make a point of a non-slip handle, which earns its keep on a full batch of tomatoes.
Pulp sets like glue between the plate and the scraper blade. Mills that dismantle fully, as the WMF listing states, go straight under a tap or into a dishwasher. Ones that do not have to be scrubbed while everything is still wet.
This subcategory holds only 11 listings that clear a 200-review, 4.3-star filter, and several ship from Germany, the United States or Japan with no Amazon stock behind them. Three of the ten sold nothing at all in the observed month — a real risk of long delivery or a dead listing.
No. It chops in a bowl and keeps everything you put in, skins and seeds included. A food mill pushes pulp through a perforated plate and holds the skins back, which is why it is used for passata, apple sauce and lump-free mash. Both sit in this subcategory, and the chopper earns more.
Because they genuinely recorded none in the observed month. Ranks 8 to 10 carry bestseller ranks between 1.7 and 2 million and are listed by overseas merchants. They pass the review filter, so they appear — but a 700-review listing that moves no units is a warning rather than a recommendation.
Three is the norm in this list and covers most cooking: fine for purée and baby food, medium for sauce, coarse for a rustic texture. One fixed plate is fine if you only ever make one thing, and it is one fewer part to lose in a drawer.
The products are ordered by estimated monthly revenue per ASIN, not by star rating and not by bestseller rank. Only products with at least 200 reviews and an average of 4.3 stars were included. In a subcategory this small, revenue also exposes how little actually moves below the top four.
The score is not our own hands-on test. It is calculated transparently from public Amazon data: 75% from the average star rating and 25% from the number of reviews, weighted logarithmically. The ranking order itself comes from estimated monthly revenue per ASIN. Prices, ratings and review counts were retrieved from Amazon.co.uk on 22 July 2026 and can change at any time.
