OmegaCold Press Juicer Machine, Vegetable and Fruit Juice Extractor and Nutrition System Makes Nut Milks Baby Food and Sorbets, Triple-Stage 80-RPM Slow Masticating Juicer, 200-Watts, Chrome

Had an Omega centrifugal juicer for 20 years (until the motor blew). Lasted long time (but I was a light user before; juicing daily now.) Didn't like either the cleaning chore or the fact that so much was wasted -- really quite excessive. Looked at ALL options. I was inclined towards the newer versions, but settled on this J8006 to a large extent because of the reviews. (Thank You, Everybody!)* I'm way happy that the fiber output is very dry -- just like everyone said. 300 times better than the centrifugal. Exceedingly little waste.* Maybe it's called "slow" but it is just fine. I still can't chop and peel quick enough to keep it running. Speed is no issue. Yes, it stays cool.* Someone complained about no screen provided in the newer ones. What I thought might be a point turned out not to be (for me). With the screen in place, what comes through is pretty watery. And about half was above the screen and half below the screen, so forced me to stop and deal with it way before I was ready. I wasn't about to throw out 50% so used a spoon to see what went through the screen -- 99%. Tiny bits of fiber (smaller than with the centrifugal) in the juice is better, I think) as gives body to the juice and good for my body and its plumbing, even as minor as the amount of fiber coming through is. Really, it's just fine straight out and I'm not using the screen after that first use.* There were many complaints about breaking plastic on the newer ones. This weighed more, I figured likely more metal, likely more solid.* From the photo, it looked like the plastic bins were pretty cheap. Wrong! They are sturdy and good quality. The juice bin holds a quart, the refuse bin is larger.* The number of reviews and great reviews on the J8006, including recent reviews in light of newer options available, impressed me -- it's still going strong. Even on the Omega website, it's shown pretty much first.* Yes, can't say why, but the juice does taste better.* Cleaning is way easier. Less parts, less mess, easier on and easier off. I did discover that I had to brush the fine screens harder -- but happy to do so as they do a great job!* I just finished juicing two pomegranates. They came out terrible with the centrifugal; came out perfect here. What else I've juiced: beets, carrots, cauliflower, collards, parsley, two kinds of kale, lemons, oranges, celery (lots!), leeks, cucumber (I like ending with that as it flushed out the system). Everything comes out absolutely perfect - absolutely!* Citrus juicer gains far, far more juice than any other kind - squeeze top, hand grip compression -- this gives way more juice. The time to cut off the peel (can be done quickly, doesn't have to be exact) is worth every bit of the output. Lemon, orange. grapefruit -- all fabulous!* And a 15-year warranty? My last Omega lasted 20 years. Just can't beat that!

The media could not be loaded. I didn't really wanna do it but I had to! I sent the pulp back through the machine because it was just too dang wet. I've been juicing now for about 15 years. I've owned, tried out so many juicers throughout the years. So if you're reeaally into juicing read on. If not, then pls stop here. There’s a few reasons I was lead back to omega. #1. I got tired of cleaning my centrifugal juicer! (I've owned several breville models) #2. Throughout the years I had an issues with part failure especially debris collecting in the basin you could NEVER clean. #3. The difference between centrifugal and masticating juicers is simple. If you care more about nutrient extraction vs. obliterating/oxygenizing those nutrients then stick with a good masticating juicer like this one.If you don't really care about the details and love cleaning alotta parts then by all means go breville or another like brand.)This time around, I researched "easy to clean juicers. Now just because its easier to clean doesn't necessarily mean higher juice yield. But thats the trade off between masticating vs. centrifugal.Centrifugal is fast but harder to clean.Masticating is slow but easier to clean.If ur anything like me and just plain tired of cleaning so many parts and tired of failure issues, then go with this model. The down side as far as this model goes is why I'm giving it 3 stars. The auger could be a little bit bigger so it can be more tightly pressed so the pulp wont come out so dang wet! If they ever redesign the auger for this model, I will definitely upgrade and keep it because cleaning this baby is such a breeze! BUT I hate that I had to send my pulp back through the machine because I know this can mess some juicers up. But I know the model and knew it could tk it. Plus if I had an issue with the pulp there's also a reverse button. (which I didnt even have to use because sending the pulp back through was a breeze as well. As you can see in the video, the pulp did come out drier but some people just simply do NOT have the time for all of that. BUT if you want to extract more nutrients like me and you have a bit more time on your hands then by all means go for this one you won't be too sorry that you did. To me the price, is simply because of the motor. The previous model, which I owned too, was only 150 watt (and oddly more expensive probably b/c of the more attractive design) This model is 200 watts. So they cranked it up a bit. Just need to do something about that auger. I was looking at omegas commercial juicers. I'll try that next. I know that would be a better option for me as much as I love juicing! Anyway, if you made it to the end of my review, HAPPY JUICING KIDS! Hope this helps you to make the best decision for you! :)UPDATE 2022: Still going STRONG! The issue about the pulp being too wet was solved by adjusting the knob in the end more and also NOT sending so much through the chute at once helps as well! Slow and steady with this baby and you’ll get used to the speed! Oh also chopping up the veggies or fruit into smaller bits help! Happy juicing fellow earthlings!😉
