Omega Cold Press Juicer Machine All-in-One Nutrition System for Vegetable and Fruit Juice Nut Butter Baby Food Pasta

The description is accurate. this item is very quiet, as detailed. i live in an apartment and did it at 5am and legit you cant hear it from the other room. it also gets the pulp very dry. i saved the pulp, and made it into crackers, veggie meat balls, stir fry. i kept all of it and added it to recipes to give it more umff. lasagna. etc. i didn't try making nut butter, sorbet, baby food, or pasta, but i bet that this product makes those things very well. it is a very effective. cleaning it isn't terrible. there are YES a lot of pieces, but i found it a lot easier to clean than the centrifugal juicer that i had. not too many knooks or cranies for food to get into, so pretty much you just rinse every piece and its good to go. fast cleaning. do your research. look up differences btwn masticating and centrifugal. look up the vitamins that are kept. look up the risks of taking the fiber out in your diet. look up how long juicing shelf life is. look up other companies/brands and where they source their plastic and labor. all that being said, i found that the OMEGA J8006HDS was the best fit for me and my needs. the price is worth it too for the warranty - not every brand offers that warranty. I was very hesitant to buy bc i didn't feel the company had a lot of transparancy with the parts and where the plastic came from. the reviews were also confusing and contradictory. here is my correspondance with the company: ("is there bpa in the plastic?") Yes and no. We use BPA Free materials in as many parts as we can. This means the plastic used has zero BPA in the raw material. Problem is, these are not always strong enough for the juicing process. The auger and screens are made of GW Ultem which is a petroleum-based product. Meaning, it has BPA in the raw material used when making these parts. Luckily, the plastic extrusion process is done under extreme pressure and at high heat. This transforms the finished product so it is less likely to leach BPA into the juice. Additionally, when you hear of BPA and the need for BPA Free products, it is normally referring to containers and other items that have long contact with your end product AND/OR are used under high heat with your end product. Examples: Spring water in a plastic bottle. Microwave containers. Each of these gives the chance for leaching as the items are in contact for a very long time or in contact during a heating process. Since the juicing process does not happen under high heat and the juice is not in contact with the parts, except for a few seconds, this is not an issue. All of the testing we have seen in the past shows that there is no BPA leaching into the juice under normal juice conditions. i also asked about which country mine came from: The NC models are made in South Korea, no difference in operation just made in different countries. The plastic from south Korea is a little stronger. i decided to return this as i felt that juicing was not for me. i am a very healthy person - been vegan for years, run marathons, great diet and exercise. i take herbs and prefer natural medicine. i bought this juicer with the hopes of adding extra vitamins to my life to treat anxiety, better sleep, and more energy. however after more research, i felt that taking the fiber out of the fruits and veggies wasnt the best for absorption of the sugars and certain vitamins. i what i wanted was a new diet every day method, not just an every-now-and-then activity. i dont think juicing every day aligns with my diet philosphy, or goals. so i returned it. but that doesnt mean it isn't right for others.

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

I’ve been through a number of different juicers that turned out to be poor quality. This is by far the best juicer I’ve found! It’s great for juicing celery, which is the primary reason I bought this. It’s also great for juicing all sorts of other veggies, even leafy greens. I highly recommend this product! Read more

Overall I really love the juicer. It is easy to assemble and disassemble; cleaning isn't too much of a hassle either. The juicer creates very high quality vegetable juice without any of the pulp. Also, if some pulp sneaks into the mix, they provide a nice strainer that ensures the pulp is removed. I can honestly say this juicer has changed by eating habits as well. The mornings that I juice, I notice that for the rest of the day I feel much better and am less likely to make poor diet choices. My only critique is that the juicer is not great a juicing soft fruits. Instead of squeezing all the juice out of the fruit and discarding the fibrous material, it just ends up as a pulpy mess within the juicer. However, this is not a problem if the majority of your juicing is done with vegetables. Read more
