Samson Brands Samson 6-1 Single Auger Wheatgrass & Multi Purpose Juicer – Model GB9002 – BLACK : A mixed review

Posted by Élise Goulet on in Masticating Juicers

Purchased this juicer for $229 here on amazon june 2010, after researching thoroughly and considering other units of all prices. My budget was low 200’s so this fit the bill. My number 1 use is to juice it for wheat-grass and occupationally other stuff, since this is a 6 in one. It does do lots of other stuff.I’ve made peanut butter fresh fresh and that’s fantastic tastingquality:out of the box the design is simple and well made the parts are super easy to put together and you can figure it out even without the directions, which by the way our clear concise and very well put together. I enjoyed reading the structures since each and every page had diagrams and photos and examples of the many things you can do with your juicer. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with this juicer whatsoever. You can’t beat the 10 year warranty, which is five years on the parts. It seems well-made, and so far. I will update this one year, two years in maybe five years from now. Just in case you’re still looking to purchase this juicer.

I mainly needed a new juicer for juicing wheatgrass. This machine is great because not only can it juice grass but it can also be used for vegetable and fruit juicing. It has completely replaced my other vegetable and fruit juicer. Now i just have one machine that does it all.Also a big bonus is that is also makes soy milk. Frozen healthy sorbets, and all natural nut butters, i made cashew butter and it was great and cheaper then buying at the store. Oh yes, i also made fresh pasta, and salsa. The clean up is so easy, the parts won’t rust, (which is the reason my old juicer needed to be replaced). It’s a breeze a take apart and put back together, just a few seconds. It’s a dream, couldn’t be happier with this product.

Samson 6-1 Single Auger Wheatgrass & Multi Purpose Juicer – Model GB9002 – BLACK

  • Make sure this fits
    by entering your model number.
  • Excellent single auger slow gear (80 RPM) masticating design for Wheatgrass and Leafy Greens
  • Mulitpurpose Juicer for extractin juice for all types of Fruits & Vegetables
  • Easy to Operate and Clean – Top Rack Dishwasher Safe
  • Motor Speed 1750 RPM, Auger Speed 80 RPM, 120V 80Hz, 160 W 1/3 HP Motor
  • Manufacturers Limited 10-year warranty on motor, 5-year warranty on operational parts

This is the best juicer i have ever used. I have used the juiceman and the jack lalanne juicers, but this one tops them both. It is quiet; there is less mess and reduced vegetable/fruit waste; and it is easier to clean. The fact that it is multifunctional (making pasta, sorbets, baby food, peanut butter, etc) is a bonus.

I have never had a juicer before and this really squeezes the fruits and veggies. It is very easy to assemble and take apart. The whole juicing process takes about 15 minutes, including prep of fruit and veggies, and clean up. You do have to chop up and prepare because the chute for the juicer is made for about the size of an apple slice. Anyone that is new to juicing should get this machinei have also made hummus, mashed potatoes and frozen fruit sherbet.

I’ve had this juicer for almost 10 years. I have not had any problems with it. , or any of the parts the chute to load the food is small, so yes, you will have to prep some foods for juicing, but i think you have this with any juicer. It handles greens and wheatgrass well. The pulp that comes out is almost dry, so you are getting a lot of juice out of your food. If you are looking for an excellent juicer, this is one of the best.

Bought this for wheatgrass juicing, but i am really impressed with the fact that i can make other stuff with it. Several pasta attachmentsthe one negative review on this product vaguely talks about it taking too long, which is not my experience. Maybe they want something more like a blender. Anyway, its a hard-core juice extractor, so you wouldn’t expect it to process the food at warp speed. It works about as fast as the wheatgrass juicer they use at jamba juice from what i can tell.

Wthis is probably the best juicer on the market anywhere. It has a slower rpm, so it does not effect the enzymes with heat which id found in the high speed juicers. This is actually what id call an emasticating grinder, which is different from a regular juicer. If you are juicing carrots of greens, this machine will produce a pulp and little juice. Then you use a ‘wells press’ to press the juice from the pulp. It is so much darker and richer in color than the juice that is collected while the machine is grinding the vegetable into pulp. You are getting the most beneficial juice possible. I researched juicing and the best machines on the market when i was diagnosed with cancer and decided to fight it using all natural products. This is the best machine i found anywhere and guarantee is the absolute best in the industry. Btw, i did beat the cancer = juicing, natural supplements, vegan diet and tons of people praying – no chemotherapy or radiation, just all natural.

All the good things from the other reviews are correct. Versatile, long warranty, easy to clean, etc. I purchased only for wheatgrass which i juice daily for health reasons. The manual says to feed very small quantities at a time, less than with other juicers, or several of the plastic bits won’t take the strain. So you can either constantly watch how you feed the hopper or pay the price. I am on my third juice strainer (an internal non-optional part) because the other two shattered.

Loved using this and loved the juice even more. Was surprised at how easy it cleaned too. Experiment, have fun and health.

I only kept this juicer for about a year and then due to unrelated circumstances it was easier to re-sell it than to drag it along in a move. But i really enjoyed using it. I love that it doesn’t heat up the food as it juices it, which also keeps more of the nutrients intact. I didn’t find it too difficult to clean, as you just have to take it apart, similar to a blender, just maybe with a few extra parts. My biggest complaint would probably be the size of the shoot, so i really had to cut things up before juicing them. Also awesome for making ‘banana ice cream’ by freezing a fresh banana then sending it through the juicer.

Omega Juicers Omega Vertical Juicing System VSJ843RR – good customer service. good juicer

Posted by Élise Goulet on in Masticating Juicers

It’s the second omega i own. The first one is still functioning well and giving us many great juices.

I’ve had this juicer for about 6 months and i love it; not too much pulp, high quality juice, easy to clean and assemble, works quietly, and upu can’t beat the warranty. Hard veggies, like carrots and beets, can be a challenge but i’ve learned to slice them thinly and that eliminates jams. Very happy with this juicer.

I am really happy that i bought this. Really good juicer with high concentration juice output. With my old juicer, my juice grocery lasted only 2 days and with my omega juicer, it lasts for 4 days and thereby saving money and gets double the output. Also very easy to clean and takes less counter space with the round configuration. Here are the specifications for the Omega Juicers Omega Vertical Juicing System VSJ843RR:

  • Make sure this fits
    by entering your model number.
  • The tighter fit tolerance of the new dual-edge auger strains more juice and breaks down fiber to a palatable level for a smoother, nutrient-dense juice. This gentle squeezing action keeps healthy enzymes intact, reduces heat build-up, delays the oxidation process, and increasing the juice’s shelf life. Squeeze juice from fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, even wheatgrass or make nut milks. Automatic pulp ejection, so you can juice continuously.
  • The AUTO-CLEANING system keeps the screen clear, increasing the machines efficiency. After you are finished juicing, the AUTO-CLEANING system minimizes the clean-up process.
  • The vertical design is compact, contemporary and productive. With the Omega VSJ843RR, form and function combine to give you the highest degree of extraction and the healthiest possible juice.
  • The VSJ843RR, Juicer is the newest, lowest speed vertical masticating juicer in Omega’s offering.

Ok, so i have only used this once so far but. I still have a jack lalanne juicer sitting on my shelf. I used it quite a bit for a while, but got tired of the amount of time needed to juice and clean up. I juice for 4 people at a time. And any juicer that doesn’t have continuous pulp ejection is not worth the money. I was able to whiz through all the fruits and veggies and not have to take it apart to empty the pulp reservoir out. And the flavor of the juice was incredible.

It is a nice machine making rich juice and the self-feeding with munching sounds is fun for kids. Some of the reviewer mentioned about not overfeeding the machine – this is very true. If you become a friend with the auger and follow its speed, it is very quick and no hustle. I was hesitant about the need to pre-cut produce but actually the self-feeding function (again, if you follow the juicer’s speed) allows you to cut veggies and fruits that need so while already juicing. Just to give an idea to those who are like me all about speed and efficiency, it took me 1 hour 15 min on my second time to juice 1. 2 gallons out of very different produce (leaves, carrots, apples, beats, celery), including washing the produce and disassembling and washing the unit. Not superfast but much faster than the units that require constant pushing and much more juice than from centrifugal juicers. Cons: not dishwasher safe and a needs some time to adjust to the process of assembly.

Reviews from purchasers :

  • This was my second juicer and I am super happy with it
  • Solid machine a serious juicer.
  • Great juicer for serious juicers. 😉

This is the bet slow juicer i have had. Previously i’e used breville fast juicer and kuwing slow juicer. This exceeds the kuwing whole slow juicer by far. Because less much less pulp in the juice than kuwing whole slow juicer. I highly recommend this to everyone.

I hate to use the words ‘love it’, but it is everything i had reviewed, and researched. I have owned two juicers before this one. One i wouldn’t recommend to my enemy. Burned the motor up after about twenty juice makings. The second was a replacement i bought and i am very happy with the cuisinart cje-1000, fantastic juicer and will probably keep it for a back up juicer. While having this one, i did my homework on masticating juicers. I looked in stores, read more reviews. Talk to others on their top rated juicers. It was tough, because there are so many. I decided on this omega vertical vsj843rr juicer for the following reasons: warranty 15 years, can you believe that, then 43 rpm (faster isn’t better) and a tough 150 watt motor.

I am in love, i wish i would have bought this a long time ago.

This was my second juicer and i am super happy with it, most veggies and fruits go through and come out dry on the other end. Clean-up is easy, it pretty much churns out most everything, just make sure to dice hard tubers like yams and sweet potatoes into small chunks, reprocess veggies like cucumber, they need to go through twice to get all the juice out of them. For the most part this juicer works amazing and produces minimal foam, which means very little oxidation of the food stuffs.

Without question, the best slow juicer on the market. The warranty alone justifies spending the money.

Just received my omega vsj843rr and made two batches of juice (apples, spinach, carrots, parsley, lemon, celery). Having watched all of the youtube videos prior to buying has helped avoid a lot of beginner mistakes, and i had no jamming on either run. Clean up is simple and straightforward as is assembly and dis-assembly. However, the whole bowl/auger unit wobbles slightly when it is turned on, even before loading any fruits or vegetables into it, not a ton of movement but it is noticeable. Seems like it shouldn’t have any movement, and when i watch the youtube videos of this machine i do not see any wobbling. Did i get a faulty machine?.

The product said any seed so i put in a mango seed(do not try this) and it got jammed so sent it for replacement and the are sending me one. Great juicer though but i thought i could get the mango seed out but i couldn’t.

The seller was very accommodating, and knowledgeable – i found this out after the fact. The manufacturer’s web site had inaccurate information, so i didn’t order the juicer i would have wanted. The seller made up the difference, which i appreciated.

This is an awesome coldpressed masticating juicer. It is pretty quiet for a juicer and very easy clean the parts. Also the tenure warranty is unheard of feature in today’s manufacturing world. I could not be more pleased.

Juicer works well and there is a huge difference between what you can get at the store and what you get out of this machine. It’s tricky to get together correctly in the beginning, but once you know how to do it, it’s really a nice machine.

His response ‘one of the best juicer ever and would recommend it’.

Great deal on a great product. This item arrived on time and was well packaged. After much research i bought this one. I have used it several times and it has performed as anticipated.

Not as good as the horizontal omega. This vertical option is a pain in the neck when it comes to carrots.

Very efficient in carrot juicing and easy to clean.

Juices everything from beets, carrots, apples, parsley to wheatgrass. Extremely easy to cleanpulp is very dry, so you get even more juice every time.

I bought this unit over a month ago and have been using it every day, even twice a day some days. It works great and is easy to clean. It takes 10 minutes to prepare the food, 10 minutes to juice, and 10 minutes to clean, so expect a 1/2 hour of your time using this machine each time. When i clean i also dry the components. I have juiced a lot of fruit & vegetables like, kale, chard, romaine, cabbage, collards, parsley, cucumbers, carrots, celery, apple, oranges, kiwis, pineapple, pears, strawberries, with great success. I am very happy with this machine.

Tribest Star GS-3000 Deluxe Twin Gear Juice Extractor – Juice it!!

Posted by Élise Goulet on in Masticating Juicers

The juicer was so easy to use and easy to clean up afterwards. I look forward to using this juicer for years.

I only wish it wasn’t such a pain to clean. Guess my health is worth it. Great machine and it’s so quiet.

Helped my boyfriend with his acne. Its all about cleaning the inside out. Here are the specifications for the Tribest Star GS-3000 Deluxe Twin Gear Juice Extractor:

  • Make sure this fits
    by entering your model number.
  • 110V GS-1000 Model with deluxe set of juicing and food processing attachments
  • Automatic pulp ejection for continuous juicing and easier clean-up
  • Easily juices most fruits, herbs & vegetables and grinds nuts & grains
  • Works as a food mill for preparation of baby foods, sorbets and nut butters
  • Easy to clean and assemble
  • 2 pasta settings: fettuccini, spaghetti

I bought this juicer after using one that my cousin had and i fell in love. It can do everything and i have only just begun using it. The vegetable juice even seems to taste better then the juice high speed juicers make. I love the ‘sorbet’ you can make with fruit and look forward to making baby food with it in the future, it is awesome.

A friend lent me this for two months and i think it’s great. It’s built very solidly from high quality materials. It’s powerful as hell, which is one slightly worrying part, as there is enough room for your fingers to reach the gears, so you have to be careful with it. The only issue i found is when i put in apple slices and orange slices the foam backed up a bit. That’s really not an issue though, as a carrot or two fixed it right up. I have read complaints about how time consuming it is to clean and i can’t disagree more. All the parts come out and it’s quite easy to clean it thoroughly. You just use a toothbrush with some soap on it. Even the filter is easy to clean in this way. If i had the spare money i would buy this in a second.

Reviews from purchasers :

  • the bestest 🙂
  • Great product, if only Amazon could have sent me the right model
  • My Juicer for life

I’ve used centrifugal juicers for over 10 years. They are good machines but upgraded to a green star recently. The machine is heavy duty and appears well made. I get about 1/3 more juice with this machine than with my current centrifugal juicer, (i. , l’equip standard sized machine). I drink the juice immediately so i don’t know about storing it, etc. Clean up takes a little longer but is very easy. I can’t think of any bad things to say. It definitely does a much better job with greens than the centrifugal machine. This is a solid juicer imho. Also, it makes very good frozen sorbets like strawberries, blueberries, etc. (another reason i upgraded from the centrifugal juicer.

This juicer definitely produced the best juice. Put cool veggies and fruit in from the frig and get cool juice out, and the quality is outstanding. We have been juicing now for a month and we feel so much better. Because of the energy i get from the juice in the mornings, i was actually able to quick drinking coffee.While one of the other reviewers was correct in that this juicer does take up some counter space, the parts are definitely not made cheaply – at least on our model (the green star 3000). After all the junk that is being made these days, this machine is made of quality parts, and is actually a little bit heavy (but it has a nice handle). We love having the best possible product coming out of our machine. The only drawback, and it is a slight one, it that the machine does take a few minutes to clean, and should be cleaned immediately after use. The parts are good quality, strong and durable, but not for use in a dishwasher (according to the manuafacturer.

This juicer will juice anything, wheat grass too, the only drawback is that it is time consuming to clean, and not dishwasher proof. This is my second one, and the first one was used daily for just about 15 years. The old one had superficial cracks in the casing from putting it through the dishwasher. Reason for buying a new one, i gave the other one away to a friend.

This did everything that the websites and consumer reports said it would. Truly a wonderful item that every kitchen should have.

I had purchased this juicer about 8 yrs ago and is still going strong. The twin gears crush the fruits and veggies creating optimal juice and drier pulp compared to other juicers. My only hang up, which is minor, is i have to chop the produce is pieces because the shute is small.

I purchased the juicer as a gift. He seems to use it very often almost daily. The only downfall is that you have to put your juicier fruits through the juicer first.

Pulp so dry and this thing is a tank. Leafy greens, pineapple (all but the outside of course), and anything else i feed it.

This is the best juicer around. It is so versatile and juices everything, i have had this type of juicer for 15 years and just bought another one. The pulp comes out very dry and i juice everything from wheat grass to carrots and everything in between.

This machine is just as great as everyone says. I use it every morning and a glass of fresh juice is the first thing i consume. The green star is tough as nails, produces more juice volume than pulp volume, and the quality of the juice is phenomenal. Plus it’s shockingly quiet, so you can guiltlessly make juice in the wee hours and not worry about waking the other members of your household with the racket coming from the kitchen. Clean up is not that big of a deal, start to finish the whole process of making, cleaning up, and consuming my breakfast is around 20 minutes. My only complaint, and this is minor given the overall performance of the machine, is that information about using the pasta and bread stick attachments is very minimal. The dvds focus exclusively on juicing and sorbet making, almost to the point of being tedious, and the manual has only very brief descriptions for either process. I’ve made amazing sprouted wheat crackers because i’m willing to experiment, but the booklet only mentions sticks. The pasta recipe calls for ‘premade pasta dough mix’, which i didn’t know existed, and the only piece of advice given for processing is that the dough shouldn’t be ‘too wet’. I’d appreciate more specifics, especially when considering the same manual includes multitudes of recipes for juice concoctions, which are far easier to come up with by good old fashioned trial and error.

I ended up ordering one of these from outside of amazon. The first unit they sent me was a gpe-1503, not a gs-3000. I filled out the form indicating that the wrong item had been sent, and sent the incorrect unit back. A little while later, a new box arrived. Inside was, again, a gpe-1503. I called amazon’s customer service and explained the situation. They claimed to put a hold on all shipments so they could verify the warehouse stock. I sent this second incorrect unit back. After a few weeks, i placed an order again. The third shipment had, again, a gpe-1503 inside, with a green ‘verified by amazon’ sticker on the outside of the packaging.

I bought this juicer to juice leafy greens. I had read at least a hundred reviews on various websites and everybody seemed to give this juicer two thumbs up in the juicing leafy greens department. But it was said that it didn’t juice fruits very well. All i want it for is to get the most out of my green. But i came to find out that it doesn’t do a very good job at all juicing collard greens or kale. Those are the main 2 i wanted to juice. I don’t care what screen you use (fruit or vegetable) or what knob you use on this juicer and how much you tighten or loosen it,(the control knob) it just won’t work. You’ll get a lot of pulp an unbelievable amount of foam and very little juice. It does a good job with broccoli (the stalk).

I had my greenstar for four years. I juiced from 8-13 juices a day and it kept running. It was much cheaper than the norwalk juicer and probably a lot easier to clean with less steps involved in juicing, although the pulp was not as dry as it could be. I decided to try the super angel mainly because it was impossible to clean the green star. The plastic pieces are stained and it looks pretty awful (but remember 4 years of daily juicing) since the super angel 3500 is made entirely of stainless steel. The green star is around $450 and the super angel is $800 so you are paying more. But here are the differences: sa much easier to put together- 3 parts vs gs at 7. Sa much easier to clean and sterilize (you can put stainless steel in dishwasher but not the gs with its plastic). Finally, the pulp is drier with the sa meaning you are extracting more vitamins and minerals and buying less produce.

Great item will buy again if need to.

This unit and brand was recommended by a family member. What a great piece of equipment. Strong, well built, easy to clean, and makes great juice from literally anything. I’m not looking back or second guessing on this purchase. It does everything far better than any unit i have owned prior to getting this one. I have read some reviews that were not to kind, and i can only wonder why those folks were having problems. Nothing is perfect, but this is quite close. I also like the seven year warranty, but doubt i will have to use it.

Was recommended to me by my aunt and i bought it for my mother. She has gone all organic and loves that she can juice her own organic fruit and veggies to make juice ice cream smoothies and more. She also loves to make pasta in it.

Omega VRT330 Dual-Stage Vertical Single-Auger Low-Speed Juicer – Great Juice, much better than the Breville Compact Juicer

Posted by Élise Goulet on in Masticating Juicers

Great product just hard to keep it up everyday. I know it good for you just a little bit of a mess.

Faster than i thought it would be. Only 2 cons are 1) having to cut up stringy veggies to avoid clogs 2) clean up of 6 pieces plus the base does take 20 minutes. But with a masticating juicer, the juice is still nutrient packed for 3 days, so i make enough for 3 days every time i juice. Update, 6 weeks later: i have stopped using. With all the prep time + juicing + clean up = too much for me. I have switched to blender, and make only 1 or 2 servings. Much quicker + u get the all the fiber with the produce.

This is a fast,easy to clean,and quiet juicer. I had a horizontal juicer that slowed down when putting carrots in but not this omega. I’m seeing pulp but not a problem. Just strain it with a strainer.

Great company to work with answered all my questions fast.

This is a solidly built machine that leaves very dry pulp in dump bin, however there is entirely too much pulp in the juice, it is practically the consistency of a smoothie. Also, and this is probably just a problem for me (elderly, disabled widow) the housing base is extremely heavy and due to the fact i have limited counter space it can’t live there so, has to be picked up and placed there each time for use. Cleaning is not a deal breaker but prepping vegs and fruit is time consuming since the hopper opening is tiny. Great machine for the job if you are young and strong and enjoy slicing product for juicing. I will be returning this item and i am hoping that will go smoothly. Update: the ups man picked up the package today (03/22/16) and they say i get my total refund within 2-5 days after they get the product back, which should be by the end of this week. Machine received (3/25/16) and refund already in bank. Thank you for a painless return. I will continue to shop here knowing that i can shop/return with confidence. Also, prime is a lifesaver, thanks again.

My wife bought this juicer and loves it. She had a jackolane and this thing blows it out of the water. It is very quiet and easy to clean. She juices everyday and this thing kicks butt. You get what you pay for with these things.

  • Quiet, lots of juice, easy to clean, tough juicing greens
  • Buy something you will use!
  • It is very quiet and easy to clean

Top cover flexes a little when juicing harder items.

Great slow spin juicer with fantastic customer support. It’s small enough to take with me when i travel. There is a bit of pulp in the juice as some reviewers have said but most juicers (except the norwalk juicer) contain some pulp without doing a 2nd strain of the juice.

Met all of our needs, we love it.

I purchased this juicer from another website and received it today. I couldn’t wait to use it and i am not disappointed. It is quiet when working and more of a space saver than my other juicer. I have a jack lalanne and it is a very good juicer, but i read that a masticating juicer saves more nutrients than a juicer with blades. Compared to my other juicer, this vrt juicer leaves less waste than the lalanne juicer which tells me i’m getting a lot more juice. With fruits and vegetables getting more expensive, i know i will save money. This juicer also has a 10 year warranty since i purchased it new. Cleanup is a breeze as long as you clean as soon as you juice. I don’t think i will go back to a juicer with blades.

I was very pleased with the glass bottles i have not had any problems with them i use them for my juices they are the perfect size highly recommend them to anyone.

Solid, easy to use, easy to clean. You’ll be juicing in no time.

My purchase of the breville compact juicer for $99i purchased this juicer as i was new to juicing and wanted something that was quick and easy to use, as well as having a small footprint on my counter. For the most part, i like this juicer, however, my one and only dislike is the pulp container. I like to run my pulp through the juicer to extract even more juice, and collecting the pulp from this unit is cumbersome and messy, and if fills rather quickly. I prefer to have the pulp ejected from the machine which makes for easier collection and cleaning. I’m still torn between the centrifugal and masticating juicers, so i ended up purchasing the omega vrt330s. I have yet to use it and will update this post once i compare the quality of juice as well as the clean up effort. I will say that i’m not looking forward to dicing all of my fruit as i’ve gotten used to inserting entire beets, apples, lemons and limes in my juicer. Even if you’re new to juicing and have already committed to it mentally, i would suggest you definitely take some time to look around. Sometimes it pays to pay more for a better machine that has the additional features and functions that you’re looking for. My review of the omega 330s juicer after using itafter using the omega juicer, i noticed off the bat the quality of the juice.

I really like it so far, making a lot of juice.

Sometimes hard veggies get stuck in it. Lots of pieces to clean after each use.

This was the second juicer we have bought. We really love this one more than the first one. Masticating juicers are so much better.

I purchased this one in advanced of our apple harvest. While i can a lot of the apples in different forms (applesauce, pie filling, chutney), also dehydrating them, i still have plenty for juice. This separates the pulp very well and produces a delicious apple cider, one can let ferment or can, if not drinking fresh.

Single auger turns at a low 80 RPMs to retain nutrients.

First off, i had trouble getting this juicer to turn on. Thought i followed instructions lining up red dots. The hopper can be assembled with arrow lining up with the dot, which was wrong. Called omega customer service and they quickly steered me right in getting the arrows lined up on the rear so it would run. Ok, just getting started on day one and i put it side by side with my trusty jack l. ‘pro’ juicer (not the amateur model 🙂 i started using 2 apples and one carrot in each machine of similar size. Both yielded 8 ounces of juice but the jack l’s juice looked watery. Richer, more froth and flavor.

The only thing i can say is that it was everything i expected and more.

After omega 8006 had cracked after used one week. I wanted to avoid omega if possible because my bitter experience of 8006. But i returned 8006 and they refunded it, it was good. So after carefully compered, i decided to buy this virtical juicer. I’m using this about half month, so far no crack at all. But when i put wheatgrass without cutting, it clogs. And cleaning task is little harder than 8006. But i tried to cut wheatgrass before shoot them. After i opened the cover i didn’t notice cloged grass. But when you make wheatgrass juice , you’ll get little pulpy juice. At this point 8006 was better and more cleaner, but it’s okay, i don’t care little pulps. If you make another vegee juice such as kale, carrot, cabbage, grape, apple ,etc. Carrot is honor role student of vegees. It makes no clog and is crashed very easy. Wrap this up, this juicer works okay, but if you make wheatgrass juice, you should cut them small pieces before you put them in.

Warning this is long, but if your buying a juicer you need to read this. Remember, the best juicer is the juicer you will usei purchased this juicer from amazon warehouse originally and was sent the wrong product. So i had to switch the juicer for one from amazon. When i got the juicer it was packaged nicely and simply put together. It was a puzzle not hard at all like the other reviews have mentioned. I’m impressed with how much juice is expels and the discharge is very dry. Very impressed with that aspect.It does soft and hard foods well.

Quiet, efficient and makes great juice. Has a little bit of pulp which i like better than pure juice.

Hi so i just bought and started using my juicer yesterday, as such this review may be a bit premature. So far i realllllllllyyyyy love this juicer. I have had a hamilton juicer for a few years and mine finally just stopped working. But before it did i was already searching for another one that yielded more juice. This omega juicer is: fast, easy to use, and surprisingly very easy to clean. Pulp seems pretty dry in comparison and it makes soooo much juice. I never thought that i would actually break down and pay so much more for a juicer, but i think in the long run it will save me money on my produce. I am very happy with this juicer and will update later if that should in anyway change.

The two stage juicer system extracts the most juice out of your fruits and vegetables.

Great juicer and it takes 10 minutes to clean it up. No spills during the juicing process. The fresh juice is not heavy and contains no physical pulps from the veggies or fruits. Thanks to an good old friend’s recommendation who is a rare food eater and uses it on the daily base.

Bought for this juicer for a newbie juicing friend and she can’t get enough. Easy to use and clean, and the yield is great.

It’s great at juicing a lot of things but greens are the toughest because they get stuck in the area where the pulp comes out. I think the reason they made a newer version of this was for a stronger powered motor?. But now i try to do my greens last and cut them really small because i don’t enjoy a lot of pulp in my drinks unless it’s oj. Still, i get way more juice than in a centrifugal juicer, it’s quieter, takes up less space on my counter so it stays in plain sight (and is used more often).

Easy to use and does a great job.

You get slot of juice with little produce.

Great product; however, it required more time to process leafy vegetables.

I really like this juicer, however, it takes a little getting used to. The first basket cracked in three places, because the chunks of vegies were too large, i think. I called the company and they said they would replace the basket if i sent pictures showing the breakage. I did so, but have not received the replacement. In the meantime, i can still use the cracked basket and am cutting the pieces much smaller. It is very true that the juice tastes much fresher because you are ‘squeezing’ the juice out at a low speed, not grinding it out at a very high speed. I highly recommend this juicer, just be careful about the size of the veggie pieces you feed into it.

Auto-Cleaning System. Easy to Use. Easy to clean.

Well made juicer that lives up to the reviews. It does an excellent job of extracting the juice from fruit and vegetables, but like all juicers, it’s a pain to clean after use. So i recommend you do your juicing to last several weeks and freeze that which you aren’t going to use immediately. This is also the brand preferred by dr bergman (see his youtube videos).

I bought this juicer locally in 2012 because my wife was having severe health issues where she needed to get most of her nutrition in juices. Because of this, we were putting great quantities of veggies through this juicer every week, and it wasn’t just a short fad thing; to this day i continue preparing juices for her. In the past two years i have run hundreds of pounds of vegetables through it, with no problems whatsoever. This is one of those cases where you get exactly what you pay for: the price is in line with the quality. Before this one, we used the jack lalanne centrifugal model, but it was clear that it wasn’t going to handle the amount of juicing we were doing. The omega is quiet: you can have a conversation with someone while you are running the machine, something that cannot be said about centrifugal juicers.

Easy to use, squeezes all juice out so little waste, easy clean up. The juice comes out ready to drink and is always good.

Juice a variety of ingredients and store the juice up to 72 hours without degradation.

Omega VRT400HDSx Low Speed Juicer w/Tap – Five Stars

Posted by Élise Goulet on in Masticating Juicers

We got it on time and i’ve have the model before this one and really love the updates on this model.

I am very glad that i bought a refurbished juicer rather than paying a premium for a new one. I was surprised by the amount of pulp that is left in the juice. Also, clean up is not as simple as i understood it to be from reading other reviews. I did my homework before purchasing this item, and maybe my expectations were too high. I suppose it works well enough. Vegetables go in and juice comes out. You just need to be ready to deal with the fact that there will be sludge at the bottom of the glass that resembles a well-chewed salad.

Super easy to use and clean.

I absolutely love this juicer. It was given to me as a birthday gift to start my juicing business which i did a few months ago. I was extremely suprised by the ease of use. Once you get down packed how to put it together you will be able to navigate it much easier. After several months of use the only bad thing i have to say about it is that it starts to look worn from use. I’m looking for a cleaning product to remove the grit it has built up. Pulp: you will have to strain you juice because it will produce a bit of pulp. It is one extra step but it’s the best juicer for it’s price point.

I’m making delicious juices every day.

  • Great juicer! But didn’t work well with green, leafy veggies.
  • Great Juicer
  • Very good while it lasted

Awesome juicer – tiny countertop footprint – what more could you want?.

It juices and works fairly well, but does get jammed up quite a bit with fibrous veggies and the plastic components that rub together are wearing away a bit.

Pros: bigger mouth allows for less prep time when cutting fruit/veggies(can do a whole watermelon in minutes), vertical feed allows for faster juicing and i love the cap for the spout. Cons: has difficulty with high fiber veggies(kale stems) this causes discharge narrowing(i just use the reverse end of the brush to clear as i go. . Kinda a pain), cleaning is a bit more difficult(fiber as mentioned before), the refuse is a bit wet so sometimes i put them through twice. Final con: it broke after 3 months of use. I am going to write omega for a refund and i will be getting another. If this didn’t break down the pro’s far exceed the cons. If it had not broke i would have given it 4 1/2 stars.

The only thing is the output of the pulp is very narrow and sometimes gets stuck. This should be improved on future models.

Everything works as advertised.

I’ve used this juicer regularly and can truly say i love it. If you’re a fan of juicing, this baby delivers the most bang for your buck, and i know because i’ve owned centrifugal juicers with less of a warranty that did not fully extract juice from fruits and veggies. I bought this refurbished, thereby saving money, but the unit functions incredibly well.

This juicer was a gift for my sister.

For years i used the jack lallaine juicer and loved making fresh juice. Before purchasing this juicer i watched just about every youtube video out there on all the different models that i could find. I came to the conclusion that this would be the best juicer for me. It is relatively quiet and very fast. I juice a weeks worth of juice at a time. This usually takes a couple hours and makes me a few gallons of juice. Half of that time is in preparation of the fruits and veggies. I have to say it works excellent on everything i juiced so far with the exception of tomatoes and pears. These were too muchy for the juicer and my lalaine juicer did a better job at this type. I use this juicer about 3hrs a week and consider it my most used kitchen appliance.

Worth the cost and super nice.

I purchased this juicer after hours of research. I was very excited about using a masticating juicer. I had only used a centrifugal one in the past, and i wasn’t impressed. I heard great things about this particular one. After receiving it, i actually didn’t get around to unpacking it for a few weeks, due to going on vacation. When i did finally get back, i was excited to get started. I actually purchased a refurbished one. It came packaged very nicely, and looked brand-new. I was very, very impressed on how it juiced all of the fruit, and most of the vegetables. But for some reason, it didn’t seem to want to juice the green, leafy veggies.

No scratches or any look of wear and tear. I was hesitant to make the purchase but i’m so glad i did.

Low speed juicing prevents oxidation on degradation of juice, no foaming or clogging

My wife uses it all the time.

These are factory refurbished machines and come with all the parts a non new refurbished machine would come with, saves you around 100 dollars and this one also comes with a warranty as well. It juices very well compared to centrifugal juicers. Sure this juicer may take a bit more time to juice than them but the quality of the juice is better. It is also very easy to take apart and clean, the longest part that takes to clean is the stainless steel screen since it will require brushing and you want to always make sure it is clean after you’re done juicing. Takes around 1-3 minutes while being meticulous. A good quality juicer on the cheap (still expensive but refurbished so a bit cheaper). Factory refurbished with a 10+year warranty. Also easier to clean than the 350 since they changed the design a bit and i think they only added a stopper to keep the juice in, so might be able to get 350 slightly cheaper. I really enjoy this product and it is very well made. If anyone has any other questions i will try to answer :).

I received the juicer in less than three days. It was ready to go out of the box. The instruction manual was missing, but that was taken care of by customer service at amazon within 8 minutes and a replacement strainer shipped within 30 minutes after contacting juiceblenddry. That’s what i call customer service. I would have no problem ordering from them again. The price was right and the delivery was right on time.

Made a quick glass of juice after arrival and cleaning. Carrot, kale, lettuce, and pear. Clean-up was quick and easy. The juicer arrived with a broken pulp container. I contacted amazon and they are taking care of the problem. The main box was shipped inside a larger box with almost no packing material to keep the item from bouncing around. This was the first product bought through amazon with a shipping problem. I look forward to many glasses of fresh juice.

I love this juicer – we are using it every day with vegetable juices and seeing the benefits of it. The cleanup is relatively simple, and this is a great price for the reconditioned version.

Ships within 24 hours (1 business day)

Samson Brands Advanced Single Auger Samson 6 in 1 Juicer GB9005 – 100% satisfied customer

Posted by Élise Goulet on in Masticating Juicers

Amazing and inexpensive (comparably speaking).

Well built, easy to clean, and does it’s intended job well. I use it for wheatgrass mainly and it makes the pulp nice and dry (extracting the most juice possible). It has a 15 year warranty and the auger is metal (not plastic). When you’re spending $250+ bucks it’s nice to know your machine will last and i think this one will.

. Did a lot of research before buying the samson. Watched a lot of youtube videos which comparedthis juicer to several models by omega. The prices for a comparable model were the same. There weretwo deciding factors:(1 the samson (unlike the omega) will protect the motor from over-heating and burnout. (2 the samson – again unlike the omega – has an optional, very sturdy, attachment for pressing flax seed sesame seed, etc oilsboth the samson 9005 and the omega models yield about the same juice quantity. However, when i read the reviews on amazon. Com i was struck by the fact that the samson was not rated ashighly. The overall average was lower mainly because there were fewer reviews and one of these was extremelynegative. The negative review stated that juice leaked from the motor end of the machine. Well, the truth is, i had to learn how to line up the feedtube/grinding end properly with the machinehousing. Here are the specifications for the Samson Brands Advanced Single Auger Samson 6 in 1 Juicer GB9005:

  • Make sure this fits
    by entering your model number.
  • Single Gear Slow Rotates at 80 RPM to ensure high quality nutritional juice
  • FDA approved GE Ultem is used for the augur and screens making them 8 times stronger than traditional juicer parts.
  • Juices a wide variety of vegetables, grasses & fruits a wide variety of vegetables, grasses and fruits • Make sorbets, applesauce, nut butters, baby food and frozen desserts
  • Simple assembly with quick lock style attachments
  • Manufacturers 15 year warranty on motor and operational parts

This is my third type of juicer and i bought this after a lot of research. I’ve had it for 5 years and not one problem. Theirs not a lot of waste because it extracts the juice and spits of a dry pulp.

I have been juicing for 15 + years and have owned 3 different juicers, but they were all centrifugal. The single auger juicer is the only one that truly juices with the least amount of waste, the pulp comes out pretty dried which means more juice for drinking. I actually had stopped juicing because the other juicers seemed to require so much vegetable to get so little juice that it was not worth it. At the time, i didn’t know about single auger juicers. They waste a lot and don’t juice leafy or grassy vegetables well at all. I even owned a breville which i bought at william sonoma and it too was the same as the other centrifugal juicers. But this samson machine really extracts a lot of juice, even from parsley. This is the first auger juicer i’ve owned. Don’t waste your money on a centrifugal, i only recommend a masticating juicer like this single auger.

Reviews from purchasers :

  • to even the score
  • Very good wheatgrass juicer at an affordable price.
  • Best juicer ever made!

The samson was the first juicer i have ever purchased. It was first recommended by john sichel, the president of delimmune for use making juice blends designed to address cancer issues; many of his customers had given it positive reviews. I really hadn’t planned on getting a juicer, but upon online research determined that the device offered great values. I researched the general juicer products and options in depth. Early on, i decided on an auger type juicer, since i was purchasing for health and nutritional concerns and juice from this type of juicer was generally recognized as the best for my intended purpose. Having made that decision, i researched the sampson, read reviews on amazon and numerous other sights, and then utubed it and all auger type juicers. I was looking for durability, ease of use and ease of cleaning, having determined that if it was a pain to clean i would not use it regularly. The sampson product appeared to meet my criteria as well as any, and i liked the multi-function aspect [seems like you’re getting more for your money when you can make pasta or herbal oils or baby food [pureed products. The warranty seemed very good, though when the product arrived, the 10 year warranty contained in the printed materials was significantly less than the 15 year warranty promised in online ads, even at amazon. The product was delivered on the day promised. ]

I said i liked it and that should be enough. I have limited time and you have too many questions.

I use it mainly as a juicer. It does its work as described but eh seller.

Best thing i invested in yet. Worth the extra $$ its loud but much quieter than what i was using, its sleek and looks great on the countertop, oh it does a decent job of juicing wheatgrass, much better than what i was using and you dont have to run it thru but one time. I recommend snipping your wheatgrass in half when you insert it into the machine any machine, we found it doesnt tangle. But if for some reason it does, with this juicer you can use a reverse button- its makes life easier. And this really is a breeze to take apart and rinse clean.

I returned this juicer because i am still working and although the juice may be better than juice from other brands, it was really, really too slow to make it a daily practice.

I really got my money worth. I definitely recommend this product.

Haven’t had this for that long, but i love it thus far. It’s powerful, doesn’t ever sound like it’s straining to get the job done or anything. Very easy to clean if you understand the parts and how they come apart & go back together. I am very happy with this purchase.

I really like my new juicer and use it every morning to may green lemonade. I haven’t expanded my juicing skills or used any of the many attachments, but i really plan to start. There are a lot more moving parts than my friends, but it is still fairly easy to clean.

The most awesome jucier i have ever had. I went ahead and spent the extral money on a one mill juicer bc the centrifugal juicers i have had in the past was such a mess,terror to clean and loud. With my new samson juicer is makes a nice low hum as the mill spins, the juice comes out so smooth with no pulp what-so-ever and the whole house hold doesn’t run when i start it up haha. Its very easy to clean and re-ensemble after every use. It can be used for muliple functions ie pasta, nut butter, meat gringer ect ect. And ive even made a home for it on my counter top :).

Well, this is the first one i’ve purchased, however i’ve used several different kinds in tryouts. The only con is that it has a small chute so you have to cut up everything. I made my own v8 (a full quart) and dr. Oz’s green drink in under an hour. I was impressed at how dry the pulp came out. It was as dry as an expensive 2 gear. And unlike other masticating or centrifuge juicers, when running the pulp through a second time, i got maybe a drop or two of juice. Don’t have to do that messy job twice.

We bought the juicer because we were planning to juice wheatgrass. This juicer is great because it does wheatgrass juicing and more. We’ve made banana ice cream, and it is so easy and just great. This juicer is of course a lot slower than jacklalanes’s one, but we could feel the difference in tasting and energy of the juice right away.My mother liked the juicer very much that she bought one herself just a few days ago and she also loves it.

We wanted something specifically for juicing muscadine grapes for jam and juice. We tried a cheaper juice extractor and too much pulp was wasted. The seeds and what’s left of the pulp come out the tube end almost dry so i know we’re getting everything we can out of the grape. It does take time and we clean out the screen after about 3 or 4 containers of juice to give the machine a rest. The machine will get hot, but the juice stays cool. The instructions say to rest the juicer every 20 mins. This little machine is wonderful. We love it and would definitely buy another one when this one is done.

Like the samson for everyday use do my wheatgrass.

It is quiet,simple, efficient, and easy to clean and it works. We are seeingthe benefits to our health already.

Best wheatgrass juicer ever – pulp comes out dry so you get the most juice every time – hare krsna hare rama.

There are a lot of juicers to choose from out there but this has definitely exceeded expectations. Great device- does exactly what it’s supposed of and very easy to clean.

Hurom Premium Slow Juicer Model HU-700 Pearl – The machine however is great. It is strong and quite

Posted by Élise Goulet on in Masticating Juicers

I’ve had other juicers in the past that worked fine but this one is, by far, the best one. It may produce a little ‘pulpier’ juice but you get so much more juice from this one than we ever did on the fast juicers. I’ve never used the smoothie maker so i’m not so sure on how great that is but for juicing fruits, veggies and greens the hurom is awesome.

For the most part it does what it is supposed to do. However, after less than a year of using it it has begun to clog and leak. As expensive as this unit is it should perform well for longer than a year with moderate use (juicing every two days).

The only thing to really remember and/or consider is the time it requires to prepare the veggies, clean the machine, and the huge amount of produce required to make a decent amount of juice — but that’s not the fault of the juicer. Overall, a very good product, with good directions and tools included. Here are the specifications for the Hurom Premium Slow Juicer Model HU-700 Pearl:

  • Make sure this fits
    by entering your model number.
  • Hurom’s patented Slow Squeezing Technology (SST) gently squeezes ingredients, preserving natural taste & nutrients lost by high-speed juicers that grind and crush. Slow juicing technology also retains heat-sensitive nutrients such as Vitamins A and C, and live enzymes.
  • The new Pulp Control Lever and Juice Cap allow users to determine the level of pulp they want in their juices or allow users to make smoothies and blended beverages quickly and easily.
  • Masticating juicers from Hurom can easily process fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, wheatgrass, nuts, and soy to make a variety of juices, milks, sauces, marinades, even baby food.
  • Hurom’s durable motor has a 10-year warranty, uses only 150 watts of energy and is practically silent. The cold-press juicer features a heavy-duty Ultem strainer and auger, which is eight times stronger than traditional plastics and handles both coarse and fine foods easily.
  • By choosing between juicing and smoothies, as well as pulp level in their juices, users have the ability to decide how much solid fiber they consume in their juices.

The previous poster got it right. The pulp ejector clogs and pulp comes out into the juice, no matter what setting you put the pulp ejector on. The juice is either really pulpy or extremely pulpy. The plastic rubberized piece that turns and scrapes the bowl strikes me as something that will break in short order and the pulp level switch also strikes me as breakable. Although this thing is aesthetically pleasing and takes up relatively little shelf space it seems cheaper and compromised from a design point of view as compared to a standard masticating juicer like an omega or samson. I have a samson and it has a large footprint but does not have any of the problems listed above. It is a beast and feels like it will never break. Although this juicer is decent there are design flaws and weaknesses that i suspect will shelf this juicer much quicker than the solid alternatives.

I am not sure if the seller is authorized to sell hurom, but this product cam to me with the wrong ‘bowl’ i returned it and they did not have it in stock to replace it. As a result, i purchased this from another location. I cannot begin to say how much i love it. Easy to use, easy to clean, and the juice tastes great. Because it is so easy and so much fun i edned up using it more than i thought i would.

Reviews from purchasers :

  • My Hurom vs. Breville review
  • Nothing beats this Juicer!
  • great Juicer!

We juice usually twice a day and even though this being a slow juicer you have to do a little more prep work the results are worth it. Much more juice out of greens which is what we normally use, and clean up is pretty easy.

Very nice high quality product juice at one side trash out the other works just like its supposed to.

Bought it for my daughter as a ‘good luck on your new life’ present. She hasn’t had time to use all the features yet, but loves the juicer part of it.

Love the quiet motor and quick action. Everything tastes so much better. It is easy to run and clean up.

I love this juicer, it has made smoothies and delicious juices daily. It’s not loud and it performs awesomely. People co,plain about juicing greens, the trick is to cut and roll and juice with an apple following it or a carrot. Anyhow, it has not failed in delivering.

I am using this hurom juicer every morning. Cleaning takes a little time, but it makes a wonderful juice. Unfortunately the plastic container has a little cracks when delivered.

I like the premium juicer much better than the hurom basic slow juicer. Unfortunately, it was missing the juice cap so i am not able to make smoothies.

I need to preface this review with the fact that it is just my personal taste. This is my second juicer, my first was a breville juice fountain at half the cost. I gave the breville to my parents tto try this hurom slow juicer after seeing side by side comparison videos from the manufacturer. Let me just point out that i was satisfied with the breville but the video made me think it was inferior. Top reasons why i bought the hurom and gave up the breville, based on claims i thought to be made by the manufacturer/style of juicer:1. Nutritionally superior juice & somehow it would last longer2. Greater volume of juice with same amount of food3. The ability to make milks and smoothies and control the amount of pulp.

At first, when i bought this juicer, it was an impulse buy and i was pretty excited. However, i didn’t do my research very well and shortly thereafter i found reviews online comparing this model to lesser priced slow juicers and it didn’t stack up. However, i ‘bit the bullet’ and didn’t return this juicer so that i could make my own decision. I ‘upgraded’ to this slow juicer from a centrifugal juicer that i really liked – we used it so much that we thought it was time to move up to a masticating juicer. I gave away the centrifugal juicer, but i wish i would have kept it to work in concert with this juicer. The hurom premium hh does many things well, but i still find myself running the pulp through twice to get every last drop out – which i feel is what it should do in the first run. When i started juicing, i was running food through too quickly and the pulp would get jammed and the ‘juice’ would be very fibrous. This isn’t the worst thing, because i know that the fiber is good, but it was very different from the old juicer. After trying new methods (slowing down, not juicing fibrous foods), i started getting better and better juices and i’m slowly starting to come around to this model. You must go much slower than most juicers and chop your food up very small (celery goes best at less than 1′ long).

This is my third juicer, i previously owned two centrifugal juicers (a cheap one and a breville juice fountain). I’ve used the breville in particular many times of the course of the two years i owned it. One of the most frustrating things about that type of juicer is that cleaning the separation basket can be rather difficult. In addition, i found that the juices would often separate rather quickly after i made them. I also juice a lot of greens, and the pulp from the greens seemed to be rather wet – i could place them in cloth and squeeze a fair amount of juice out of them. I own a model very similar to this one, although i bought it in korea and the model number is a little different. I’ve done some checking, and this one is extremely similar (if not identical, aside from the voltage). I’ve been using it for a few weeks since i bought it, and i’ve found it to be an absolute pleasure to use. Here’s why:1) the pulp is significantly drier than from my old juicer, and therefore i get a lot more juice out of the same amount of vegetables/fruit.

Juices everything, easy to clean, not noisy, i’m really happy, use it everyday.

I was using this juicer to make green juice. I usually juice kale, cabbage, cucumber, apple green apple and such. It makes weird noises at first when i put cabbages and kale leaves but the noise does not bother me since i understand the mechanism of this machine. It makes nice juice but you don’t get 100% juice without pulp. There is some issue with pulp i think. I don’t mind little bit of pulp in my juice but when i don’t want, i just use extra strainer for it. Before someone ask me that i can juice wheat grass, and it does work for wheat grass i just tried. If you mind pulp but you want to get this juicer, william sonoma has this juicer with extra strainer.

1st juicer in many years – a 60th birthday present to myself. Great juicer and unlike so many my friends have – easy to clean,.

My first time juicing so i didn’t realize how expensive it is to produce a small quantity of juice. The machine however is great.

Fast shipping and my juice comes out tasting fresh everytime. I definitely recommend this juicer for prolong fast or if you are juicing daily.

I had been looking around for the perfect juicer. Love that i can make smoothies and control how much pulp is extracted.

SAVTM JE120-08M00 New Electric Masticating Wide Mouth Whole Chute Anti-Oxidative Fruit and Vegetable Slow Juicer – Great Juicer

Posted by Élise Goulet on in Masticating Juicers

It is very quiet and takes large pieces of carrots/apples(whole small size)/etc. – the only problem i have with it is that it does clog up the fiber spout if you juice celery. You have to clear it as you go. Not real hard to do, but you do need to pay attention to that. And you don’t have any sharp (cut you if your not careful) edges like my centrifugal juicer did.

This is my first juicer which i elected over the breville juicers because of the better juice quality. People say that the breville’s are much faster than masticating juicers like this one, but this juicer juices very fast because of the extra large 3. The large opening lets it handle apples cut into one quarters and it sucks the apple pieces down fast. It comes with two mesh filter baskets, one with long narrow slots and one with a fine mesh. The slotted filter basket is very easy to clean and extracts almost as much juice as the mesh filter basket. The mesh filter basket needs to the scrubbed a lot with the included toothbrush type tool to get all of the fruit or vegetable residue out. The slotted filter basket requires very little scrubbing to get all the residue out.

This is the second juicer i’ve owned; i had recently purchased my very first one, a breville centrifugal, and returned it because it sucked. This savtm slow juicer performs way better. It extracts more of the juice than the breville compact, is much more quiet, and is easier to handle and clean. It tackles hard vegetables with ease; raw carrots, celery, sweet potato, beets all crumble before the might of its giant masticating mechanism. I have two minor complaints about this model and one is the rotating feed piece in the top. It can certainly be helpful with certain fruits and vegetables but sometimes i wish it wasn’t there or if i could at least remove it. That said, i think the feature helps increase the safety of the product. I’d let a kid operate this thing since between that extra piece and the height, you’d be hard pressed to get your hand in danger with this thing. My second issue is that the juice comes out a little pulpy. I don’t mind that all the time; fruit fiber is good fiber but sometimes i just need a nice clean juice.

I do not have time for reviews. But for that one it was a must. This is my first slow juicer and i love it. I will recommend it to anyone.

I juiced three dozen apples and got about 4 cups of very pulpy juice and 2 cups of apple sauce. I am not happy at all with the juice quality as it is way too pulpy. I tried to strain it, but the particles are too small to be stopped by a regular strainer, and that was how i ended up with the apple sauce. Now, i watched the youtube video and the juice did not look that pulpy, so i am going to keep trying different things. The machine came with a very poorly translated book and set up instructions. The top has a weird flip feeder thing that is rather annoying. I am guessing it will void the warranty if i saw that off. I figured for 200 dollars, it was worth a try; going to try greens next and see how that works out. Just to update, i have been using the juicer for two weeks now.

I left off 1 star for the horrible manual. The company really needs to hire someone who can understand and write in english. The manual is an embarrassment to an otherwise nice product.

Posted by Élise Goulet on in Masticating Juicers

I really like this juicer, but it does create more foam than i thought it would. Also, i wonder why some juice keeps creeping into where the auger is turning?. Maybe i am feeding too fast. I do love the solid construction, and the relative quietness of the machine.

First of all i have a breville j98xl centrifugal juicer. I wanted a better juicer so i started researching masticating juicers and came upon the omega 8000 series machines. When looking at the omega brand models i became confused. What’s the difference between them?. I watched some youtube videos and read tons of reviews online and this is what i found:first of all, they are all very similar. They all use an auger that squeezes, or crushes the produce slowly to make juice. The juice drains through the bottom hole and the pulp ejects out the front. The auger presses the juice in two stages to get the most out of it. This machine is referred to as a ‘single auger juicer. ‘the older models used a white colored auger which is made of melamine plastic. The newer models have a black auger which is a much harder plastic material made by ge which replicates the hardness of a stone. (think of stone grinding) as far as i can tell all of the omega models are now coming the new black auger, which is supposed to be 8 times harder than the older ones. In the end i decided upon the 8008 model. Which is the same as the 8007 only in a different color.

I am using it daily and love it. Nothing works better for green juices. I am drinking a daily mixture of kale or some other leafy green along with carrots and apple. I have had perhaps a dozen juicers over the years, but nothing has worked well with leafy greens. Also, the other types of juices really aerates the juice too much and waste a lot of the green juice. I purchased this to supplement my diet with more green juice. This machine is tough enough to have replaced my other juicers for now.

Comments from buyers

“Great bang for the buck and excellent juice quality
, Awesome Juicer!
, So far so good with this juicer
“

I like that this juicer handles pretty much everything i throw at it. It makes easy work of juicing fruits, veggies and even frozen bananas and strawberries. I haven’t tried its other functions. I also like that it is easy to clean after use. The only hard item to clean is the filter but the juicer came with a brush which was a nice and thoughtful addition. It also sets up very easily and everything goes together quite nicely and easily so there is no fussing with parts or anything like that. Sometimes when i juice apples or berries, the mashed fruit gets sort of stuck near the spinning screw instead of exiting the machine easily like carrots or other harder fruit does. Putting through more fibrous fruits and veggies helps to clear this out, but it would be nice if it didn’t happen. Also, after a couple of weeks of use, juice seems to get past some of the rubber washers and behind a plate on the face of the machine making the large plastic lock get gummed up. I have to remove 4 screws to get to this area to clean it which is inconvenient.

Had for over a year and it’s still juicing like the day we opened the box. Powerful, juices everything nicely.

The first one i bought broke. It took longer than expected for the new one because omega did not process the order correctly. Problems i have are:when juicing soft things like berries or apples it turns to mush and will not strain through the filter unless something fiberouse is used as a chaser. I have not tried to make butter or noodles yet but i’m working on it. This machine will take all your greens or fruits, along with an entire marijuana plant and anything else you can think of that might benefit you.

I was pretty sad when my old omega juicer died, even though i’d had it for 20 years. After much research, it seemed that this omega cold press juicer would be my best choice – and we are thrilled with it. Quiet, impossibly easy to use and clean – omega has been doing juicing right for a long time.

The juicer works very well and the pulp is practically dry when juicing fruits and veggies. This guarantees you get the most juice from your produce. The product comes with a little brush to brush off any pulp that can stick to the inner crevices of the machine while cleaning. Overall i am very pleased with my purchase.

My family and i absolutely love this juicer. I haven’t attempted to use it for anything other then juice yet, but so far what i bought it for- it’s perfection. *update 12/29/2014: i used the juicer to grind coffee beans christmas morning, it was a lot quieter then my traditional coffee grinder. It also produced a much finer and even grind. I have now decided that this will become my full time grinder for coffee as well as my daily juicer.

Disappointed the nozzles do not fit. That was the whole point of me getting this particular juicer, because of its versatility. Now i can’t use it for that. Otherwise everything else is functional. No issues with the juicer its self.

I searched too much about issue of buying juicer. First must work low rpm & masticarting system, also must work good with vegetables and must have optimum price. Several months has past to use this juicer. I bought 8008 and my friend has bought 8006. Actually there is no quality,technical or performance difference between them. However i like this metalic gear.

Highly recommend this powerful juicer. Excellent quality and juicing with dry substance discharge, meaning it literally got all the juice out of the produce.

I never put much thought into juicing until it was recommended by my hydrotherapist. She insisted that i try it out after taking numerous things about my dietary needs and body type into consideration. As an o-positive blood type, i love to eat meats and can naturally and easily indulge in high amounts of protein without major impact to how my body functions. I don’t get sludgy after a good steak. Rather, dense carbohydrates are my kryptonite, but i’ve done well in staying away from those. What a high protein diet did accomplish, however, was a stopped up colon. Apologies if this embarrassed you, but the body does what it needs to do, and it is what it is. Anyway, the right types of vegetables in my diet provide natural enzymes that help my body break down the proteins. I bought the omega because i was looking for a juicer that would squeeze as much juice from vegetables as possible.

I juice about 15 lbs of veggies once a week and have juice prepped for the whole week sitting in my fridge and ready to go.

Absolutely love the omega series. I upgraded from the 8006 to the 8008. I think if you can find the 8006 cheaper, stick with that. The touted larger opening and better auger do not seem to make that big a difference to me. This juicer absolutely always extracts all the juice leaving no wet pulp. It also does a very good job juicing greens. The only negative thing and it is minor, is that juicing things like pineapples, blueberries, strawberries will have you needing to disassemble and clean out the soft pulp before you can go on juicing.

I owned omega j8006 and nc900hdc. I did like the j8006 then gave it to my sister to buy the 900 version. The 900 was total disaster, i really hate it, then i return it after a few trialthe 8008 doesn’t have much review but i like the compact size and one review prior to mine here. I took the risk to try it out, everything went very well as good as the 8006. I personally think the 800 & 900 model, omega blew that ones. Adjustable knob is useless and the chute attached to the top plate is harder to clean. I prefer it can be attached. I will highly recommend the 8008 model. If money is object to you, then get the 8006 or 8007 (same as 8008 except it’s silver not chrome). I like to match with my other chrome kitchen appliances, that’s personal preference.

I’ve had this juicer for almost 4 weeks now. Been juicing every day once, sometimes twice each day. I am thoroughly happy with it. I’d say juicing takes about 15-20 minutes tops to make the juice and clean up the parts. I make about 2 pints per session. The juice that results is very delicious, and the machine appears to be very efficient extracting the juice as the remaining pulp is extremely dry. Also the machine, being a horizontally layed out, fits conveniently on the counter top. I would recommend this juicer to anyone.

I got this 8008 a couple weeks ago, and it broke the first time i used it. I was juicing apples and then was going to move to carrots, but while i was juicing the apples, it made a loud pop noise and then stopped working all together. Amazon replaced it and i’ve used the replacement. This time i started with vegetables, carrots, kale, beets, greens, and it did all of them fine, but i finished with apples and limes and these got stuck in the juicer. I guess this might work fine for my purposes as long as i alternate the fruit with vegetables. But it’s awfully expensive of a juicer to not be able to do just apples or just oranges, as my kid sometimes wants. Basically, you might need a second juicer for fruits if you want to have apples mixed in. I’ve only used the replacement once, so we’ll see how long it lasts.

I have to say this masticating juicer is built strong as a tank and will no doubt last forever; and i’m guessing may be one of the best masticating juicers on the market in it’s price point. I’m new into juicing and bought this model as it is more efficient as a percentage of volume in extracting juice from leafy greens (kales, watercress, spinach) than a rotary juicer–like the breville 98xl, which i also bought–and that one is more efficient in extracting juice from the higher water-content fruits and veggies like carrots, tomatoes, apples, oranges, etc. So i figured they would compliment one another: masticating omega for the leafy stuff; and high speed rotary breville for the high-water content stuff. But what i found is for me is:– the omega involved way too much cutting and prepping as the chute is only like 1. 25′ wide versus the like 3′ wide chute of the breville– by nature of the slower masticating design versus high speed rotary; it is so much slower in extracting juice, even with non-leafy stuff: it takes a significant while, and it can get ‘clogged. — the volume of the juice holding tanks is so much smaller than the breville; i’m guessing the breville has a 1-liter juice container, and the omega about 25% of that (not good when you want to make drinks for two. )– by design; the juice if more fibrous in the omega versus more liquid in the breville. — time and effort: the omega is messy and time consuming for clean up with a lot more parts–smaller ones with more nooks and crannies that are hard to get to to clean; and with a lot more fibrous gunk packed on to it after juicing. And this was the big deal-breaker for me.

Provides clear juice, unlike the high speed blender types that yield a smoothie type product. It is large so storage needs to be a consideration. If you have the room, it is great.

I purchased this unit a while back, but felt it was time to put in my two cents. Built to last, strong motor, makes great juices and butters, has a easy clean up, and seems to still be going strong. Cons for the unit are it does not like too soft of fruits. The screen on the juicer get clogged when too soft of fruit is used. I have got around this flaw by doing a soft fruit and then following up with a crunchy veggie or fruit. Would buy againnin heart beat.

I had been using another juicing machine for a few month before it broke down. The amount of juice yield from that machine was not great, as the pulp still very moist. I thought that was how juicing machine work, until i got this omega 8008 juicer. The juice yield is much better than i thought, and most importantly, this machine is quiet and almost vibration free.

Filter-thingy gets clogged with lemon or garlic but that’s understandable. Inspired by sprouts (of tahoe) we now have a ‘hot shot’ every morning (grass, ginger, lemon and hot spice). Recommended by a guy who hates most things.

Posted by Élise Goulet on in Masticating Juicers

I’m fighting bone cancer, which there is no cure yet, ( but that is another story) this a fine product wife makes me a glass of juice daily owner over 6 months a sweet operating machine love it i think it going to save my bacon. My wife found that running the pulp thru a second time get additional juice out of pulp. Buy it you won’t go wrong this the 3rd different juicer we’ve purchased this a deal at $109 my $600 machine died then bought a low cost pos it died in 2 months. This baby is like the proverbial timex watch takes a licking and keeps a ticking.

Exactly what i was looking for. I’m on day 4 now of fresh juices and very happy with this machine.

This is my first juicer, so i wasn’t sure what to expect. I had a little frustration getting the juicing screw seated properly, but one it was in place, the lid went on easily. As recommended, i cut my fruits and vegetables into chunks that fit easily into food chute. I have used cucumber, carrot, spinach, apple, ginger root, red cabbage and lemon (without the peel). The only thing i would do differently is cut the cabbage smaller and do a better job of interspersing the cabbage with the other produce because it clogged the pulp tube a bit. The resultant pulp was pretty dry and the juice had only tiny bits of pulp. The juice tastes very fresh and bright due to the cold processing. Clean-up is very easy, just a little attention required with the brush to insure nothing is left behind in the strainer.

So far it works great and produces some great pulpy juice. Cleans easy and the pieces are put together easily.

  • Clean up isn’t bad, made a decent amount of juice although it
  • the lid went on easily. As recommended
  • shef juicer the first time and find it a great juicer. Easy to assemble and easy clean up

It’s a decent juicer if you are planning on only juicing fruit or vegetables that do not have stems or stands. I chopped celery and kale into about inch long pieces, with the kale i removed the stem only leaving the leaf sections and alternated between apple slices, kale, celery, carrots and cucumber with hopes of avoiding clogs. It clogged up after a few minutes and each time i would clean it out it was always the celery. Clean up isn’t bad, made a decent amount of juice although it had some pulp it wasn’t bad. If you are considering this and plan on trying celery or something similar you might want to keep looking. I attached a couple pictures showing the clog and how it gets backed up when it does clog. I ended up returning it, knowing i will want to juice celery.

Quiet, efficient, and easy to clean. Does a better job than some of the centrifugal type juicers that i’ve used in the past.

Let me start off by saying that the picture is misleading. There is not a large opening to place your food. Most items have to be cut which can be an inconvenience. The juicer itself shakes and appears rickety. I typically only juice celery so it’s not as if i’m putting bulky food into it. The excess food has trouble dispelling from the machine. It’s bunches up which requires digging it from the machine. This alone should earn one star but because it does produce the juice that i expected and because it’s hardly the most expensive of the juicers, i have it 3 stars. If you’re on a budget, it may be a decent choice. If you can spare the extra money, go for the breville.

This juicer completely surprised me at well it worked. I have enjoyed many a juice made from kale, apples, and other fruits and veggies. For the price this juicer is amazing.

Must cut fruit/veggies into small pieces. Don’t jam a whole carrot down there. Does not like pineapple, celery, ginger or any stringy fruit/veggie; these plug the machine very easily. Pulp is very wet still after being extruded, i had to buy some cheese cloth to squeeze out the extra juice. Easy to clean, easy to handle once you get the hang of it. Never owned any other kind of juicer so nothing to compare it to.

. It’s not perfect because is a little difficult clean. By the way i like this machine.

I was quite surprised by how sturdy it is. It is easy to assemble and use especially if you read the directions first. I cut up apples, oranges, used baby carrots and spinach. After reading the directions i put spinach first and then carrots got good juice. The pulp seems dry but i have never had this type of juicer before so i don’t know what to compare it to. This is the first day i have had it so tomorrow may be different. It is a little taller than i thought but that is no big deal.

Is quiet and really gets the nutrients. The pulp tends to get caught with more fiberous vegetables and is a pain to clean up. It works for me as a beginner. Maybe should have done more research to find one that is easier to clean and maintain.

Works well, reasonably easy to assemble and clean. Only odd thing is that you need a phillips head screwdriver to remove the silicone restrictor to clean the pulp channel.

Seems well made, has safety interlock, pulp is very dry, lots of juice.

Does what it is supposed to do. I have been juicing for the past week with this affordable machine. Saves me a trip and a ton of money by helping me avoid my favorite juice shop. I just would highly advise anyone considering purchase to be careful with celery-maybe break it up a bit and alternate a “juicier” fruit (like apples/pineapples/citrus) or veggie in between to keep it from clogging. I use a knife to declog the chute. Also, the black giant screw looking thing needs to be firmly pressed down. Don’t be like me and spend 10 minutes trying to figure out how to snap the lid shut— the screw more than likely is the reason lol. There’s a convenient brush to help with cleaning and once you get the hang of taking everything apart (it all comes apart), you will see the cleanup job is similar to most juicers. Minus when celery is involved lol.

It’s very good but it leaves way too numerous residue fiber which i have to unusual out about 3 or four times ahead of i drink it.

Started using my new vonshef right away and i absolutely love it. It extracts the juice very well leaving behind a dry pulp and it’s not noisy. It’s easy to wash after each use and doesn’t make a big mess like some juicers i’ve had in the past. I did my research before buying this one and highly recommend the vonshef professional.

Most of the occasions i operate the pulp in various periods at times. A great deal of pulp be trapped on the inside so no a whole lot of juice goes to waste. Great when producing almond milk, and with carrots, first rate with leafy greens.

I acquired this juicer in june of 2017 (one yr and four months) and the basket that holds the fruits and veggies whilst they are currently being processed, broke. Way too highly-priced to brake this shortly.

Enjoy it simple to cleanit truly fulfill my speciation.

I purchased this soon after borrowing my buddies cheapo $30 walmart juicer. New juice looks to be the only factor i can preserve down this pregnancy so i did a good deal of investigation and arrived throughout the von shef line of juicers. The slow juicers supposedly get much more nutrition from the fruits/veggies which is ideal for me simply because of my incapability to intake a large amount of nutrition at this point, it has a very compact design and style though it is tall and will not match in my counter with the lid on but that is wonderful for me as it can sit to the aspect or in a cupboard when not in use or drying on the drying rack. I love how quiet this is, i get up nicely just before my little ones in the mornings to make my juice and have some peace and quiet right before all hell breaks free in our home and the other juicer was so loud it would wake my youngsters up. This is unbelievably quick to wash which is constantly a bonus as a mom with a fast paced daily life to just rinse and set down to dry on the rack. It is also exceptionally efficient as eradicating all liquids from the veggies/fruits, the other juicer in essence just blended it up and kinda mashed the juices out which remaining the pulp sopping wet, this juicer leaves the pulp pretty dry so i sense like i am getting all the juices and hence the nutrients achievable from my fruits/veggies. Total with the steep discount getting presented on this i am extremely content. Update 08/17/2017: i managed to break just one of the gears that enable make this juicer spin so i established about trying to get in touch with the buyer service section. The electronic mail in their web page held currently being returned as undeliverable ([email protected] Com) so i searched the organization on facebook and messaged them to each their us and u.
