Omega Cold 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, Gray

Love this juicer. I waited a few weeks before writing this because I wanted to get past my "first impressions" and see if I still loved using it and if I found any flaws by using it more than the first time. I watched several videos of this juicer in use and the one guy I've seen more than the others always preached putting in soft fruit or leafy greens followed by something hard like a carrot. He even uses a carrot to plunge the leafy greens and soft fruits into the chute and lets it chew the end of the carrot off each time. I have followed this routine and it works perfectly. I was most impressed to see this thing grab and pull an entire stalk of celery down the chute and devour it! That means much less time in prep and more time in juicing. Of course you still have to cut down the apples and oranges, pineapple and beets into slim enough pieces to fit in the tube, but I absolutely love being able to wad up a leaf of kale and stuff it down the tube, stem and all and watch it pull it in. I keep the output cap adjusted to the middle setting and the pulp comes out pretty dry and the juice is great. Even with the pile of greens, (kale, spinach, celery and more) the juice doesn't have hardly any foam on the top when I finish. The juice is full and has a little of the pulp in it, which I like. The yield from the amount of veggies and fruit is amazing, easily the best I've seen from any of the four juicers I've tried. We also have a Champion, but it isn't made to juice greens and does a horrible job of it if you insist on trying, and I ended up with as much foam as juice and had to unclog at least 6 times in one juicing session. That meant taking it apart and cleaning all the pulp out, and brushing the screen, and reassembly only to go a few minutes and do it again. The other two juicers I've used were both vertical masticating juicers and both of them broke pretty quickly, one of them on the first use, and for both of them and the Champion you had to slice up things that had stems like kale, and of course celery had to be chopped up into 1/4" pieces. So you can tell that the prep time with the Omega is going to be much less. Clean up is quicker with the Omega than any of the other three I've used, and I am not making this up. Maybe the holes in the Omega screen are a tiny bit larger, I don't know why, but it only takes a few swipes with the brush provided and it rinses clean. I was fortunate enough to be able to get my money back from the other two vertical juicers so really all that was wasted was my time. I tried to cheap out on buying a juicer and hoped to get lucky. No luck. But with the Omega I am very pleased with how it compares to all the others I've used and I feel like it is absolutely worth what I paid, especially knowing what I went through with vertical juicers that cost $100 less than this one. And the Champion, which cost quite a bit more. This one is a keeper! (My wife hasn't used the Champion since we got the Omega, and she seems to love it just as much as I do) Just remember that this is not a fast process, so make it a relaxing time, slow down and enjoy how well it works, follow your soft pieces with your carrot plunger or whatever, soft, hard, repeat... and I think you will be quite pleased with it. I will try and update my review as time goes on.

We started juicing about a year ago. My husband had researched juicers, and although we knew masticating juicers were supposed to be better, we weren't ready to jump into that price point. If I knew then what I know now, I would have gone straight to a machine like this one. It's much quieter, and faster/easier to clean. The footprint is about the same, but the base can sit back along the counter, whereas our vertical centrifugal juicer needs to be towards the front to clear the top cupboards. The base is pretty much the size and shape of a toaster. I like that this model has the metal screens and thicker plastic cones. There's a lot less surface area to clean than our old juicer, and no sharp edges to watch out for. With the centrifugal design, we'd have chunks of apple or carrot get shot into the waste bin, and lots of stuff sprayed along the top of the outgoing chute. It also sometimes escaped through the pieces of the juicer, and sprayed the walls. It didn't feel like we were getting the most out of the fruits and vegetables, and I was getting tired of cleaning the wall. I also didn't like that much noise first thing in the morning. My husband's favorite juice has kale in it (also celery, apple, ginger, and cucumber). We made his juice this morning, and got 150% of what we usually get. I don't like any pulp in my orange juice, and carefully read reviews about pulp. I've made several fruit juices already, with things like strawberries, grapes, pear, apple, peaches, and grapefruit. I haven't had any issue with pulp. The strawberries were noticeably creamier, in a good way, almost like a fruit smoothie. I felt like I was getting more of the fruit. The grapefruit shavings looked like coleslaw when they came out of the machine. We've been very impressed with the dryness of the pulp. The screen mesh is fine enough that there isn't anything I would call pulp in the juice. There's an extra mesh strainer in the box, but I haven't even used it yet. There's a lot less surface area that touches the food, so a lot less to clean. I don't own a blender or a food processor because I don't like cleaning appliances, but don't mind cleaning this juicer. One of the reviews said that if this one is too much for someone to clean, they probably shouldn't juice, and that may be true (though I'd hate for someone not to juice). Much less screen, much less surface area, and no sharp parts. In our other juicer, not only were there sharp teeth, but the large plastic top part was bulky and hard to rotate around in the sink to clean, plus the plastic triangle that guides the pusher is pointy and was always scraping me. Throw everything into soapy water right away, and it's pretty painless. We also used to use plastic produce bags for the outbin in our old juicer, but I find I don't need them with this new one, since there's a little pile of much drier pulp. I got this model instead of the next version because of the detachable funnel, longer pusher stick, and more durable plastic of the juice/pulp bins. Those were the things that stuck out to me when I compared the reviews. I considered a vertical masticating juicer, but read lots of reviews about the pulp chute clogging, the plastic filter cracking, and too much pulp in the juice. We haven't had those issues with this machine. The vertical models have larger feed chutes, but I don't mind making a few extra slices. It's somewhat relaxing and meditative. It's not that much different than our old juicer, which was supposed to be able to do large things, but required small bits because if a flat surface hit the bottom of the spinning basket, it would just stay there. Rather than cubing the apple for the old machine, I slice it into longer slices for this machine. Our old machine had sharp teeth that could hurt you, but could also get dull. That's not an issue with this machine. All in all, we are extremely happy with this juicer, and heartily recommend it.

We've used this a few times now. It works wonderfully. Yes, I do have to cut the size down to about 1" width or less. But, it juices much quicker than some reviews led me to believe. It squeezed out so much liquid, that the mulch is almost dry. It only takes me a few minutes to make a 24 oz cup of veggie juice (Kale, broccoli, spinach, ginger, garlic, jalapeno, lemon, apple, carrots, tomato, blueberries, and sweet potato). Everything went through easily and was as fully 'juiced' as think would be possible, without a centrifuge. I plan on recycling the veggie pulp for veggie broth. Waste not want not. :-) Cleanup is a breeze. It states it is dishwasher safe, but I figure why bother, it only takes a couple minutes with a sponge and some dish soap. I've used both a food processor and a blender for making veggie/fruit drinks before. I like this better. Best wishes and happy juicing! (Deducted 1/2 star for having to prep fruits and veggies more than I prefer. Besides, is there really anything that is 'perfect' in everyone's eyes?)

This is the best juicer I have ever had. I've bought 3 previous ones by different manufacturers that all lasted a mere 2 years before giving up the ghost. The Omega is of superior build quality and an absolute joy to use. Cleaning is very easy and it is so much quieter than my previous ones. I know it is expensive but it is certainly worth it. I just wish I had bought it sooner.

Before I buy anything I do the research. After about 10 hours of researching juicers in general I decided on the Omega. I wanted quality, durability, and warranty and the Omega certainly has all three and more. Juicing is a significant lifestyle change and before you buy make sure you understand this. When you juice you cannot be in a hurry - it does take time. The Omega fits precisely into this "not in a hurry" philosophy. It is a slower process (but not significantly so). I can usually juice my recipes in about 20 minutes from start (setting up the machine, washing and cutting the ingredients, juicing) to finish (disassembling and washing the Omega). The Omega is quiet and masticates (i.e. chews) through 99% of the things I put into it (I did get Lemon Grass stuck in the machine but got it out easily by simply putting the Omega in reverse. I also didn't really understand what Lemon Grass was - I quickly learned however!). The Omega is attactive and blends in nicely with the rest of our kitchen decor. I have read comments about the feeder chute being on the small side. Well, it is a bit small but not a big-deal - simply cut your ingredients a bit smaller. I look forward to having the machine for many years to come.

Muy ricos jugos muy resistente, sin problemas Boca muy chica pero funciona bien Me gusto la garantía por muchos años

I’ve wanted the omega juicer for years. Eventually purchased it and I have no regrets. Omega is perfect for celery, carrot, beetroot, spinach, kale, apple, and other other fruits and vegetables of such. If you’re looking to purchase omega for citrus fruits and pineapple, unfortunately I must say it’s not the best juicer for that. It takes time, hard work, effort, and you’ll have to stop every couple of minutes to clean it out before you can continue juicing your pineapple and citrus fruits. It’s not loud, easy to clean, and easy to assemble. It doesn’t take space so perfect for small kitchen. It is well worth it. No regrets.

Works awesome! Juices everything I put into it well except for spinach strange enough. Kale yes. Easy to clean and reassemble. I use it every day!
