Juicer Cold Press Vertical 43 RPM Slow Masticating Compact Juice Extractor for Fruits and Vegetables Quiet Operation with 3 Stage Auger Automatic Pulp Ejection and No-Drip Tap, 150-Watts, Silver

UPDATE 3.15.2017 I should have updated this post sooner. I was able to send the Juicer back to Omega directly and they took care of replacing it ASAP. Excellent customer service, great and fast response time. The replacement blender has worked flawlessly since we received it back in October, so about 5 1/2 months now. Omega can't be beat for customer service and responsiveness, this should give anyone the confidence to buy their products. Had I read through the warranty I would have seen the company backs up their products for over ten years. I doubt I will still be using my juicer that long - hoping that technology moves better solutions forward by then! UPDATE 8.8.2016 Two months after purchase I have purchased hundreds of items from Amazon over the past couple of years and never wirte reviews. I was pretty happy with the initial performance of the Omega VERT slow juicer and so busted out a quick raving 5 star review. Now only two months later the juicer is broken and in a box, never to be used again, the seller only had a 30 day warranty. If you plan on using a juicer with any frequency, plan on buying another juicer and not from this seller. I had high hopes for this juicer only to be very, very disappointed in its acutal lack of performance. Save yourself the time and money and look for a horizontal auger type juicer, they last longer. *************************** Omega VERT Slow Juicer VSJ843QS, Square Version, Silver . We have a small beverage business and fresh press our organic fruits and roots. Over the past two years we have used the Omega J8006 and tried the Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus. Our goal is to have as much pure juice and the least amount of pulp or residual byproduct in the juice, so we are willing to take more time to achieve this result. While the Breville is a great machine and probably good for someone juicing for personal health purposes, it had too much pulp and a lot of it was too wet. The Omega J8006 has been a staunch work horse, but after a year the parts started wearing out. Omega's customer service is top notch however and has been very helpful in getting us replacement screens at no additional cost to us. The OJ8006 finally broke down a few days ago so we are sending the base unit back to Omega as they have a 7 or 10 year warranty. In the mean time I did a Yuge, huge, HUGE amount of research looking for a replacement and came up with the Omega VERT Slow Juicer VSJ843QS. I will spare you the details, only because I don't have the time to elaborate since I spent all of it researching and actually have to get back to work, but I wanted to get a quick 5 star rating posted on this product. DISCLAIMER, I am writing this after the first use and will update later if my experience changes. This Slow Juicer is the bomb, It squeezes 4 cups of Pineapple juice out of one Pineapple, whereas we typically only get 3 cups. Try getting those results for Pineapple in any other juicer. We just sliced the pieces and dropped them in the chute, didn't even have to press down on the plunger. And there was hardly any foam whatsoever, a stark contrast to both of the other machines we have used. Then we put ginger into the plunger which you have to use to process ginger. It did get stuck a few times, but the reverse button offered a quick solution and we were able to churn out some ginger juice that was as pure as any I have seen. The pulp was so dry you could have used it for kindling. I realize that writing a review after juicing two items, a pineapple and ginger, is not a thorough review. But after you have juiced for two years in a small business environment you know what to look for and anticipate. This juicer is very quiet and the wide auger with low RMP does a great job of giving us the most juice and therefore bang for our buck. So make sure to include this juicer in your research and save yourself a whole lot of time. If you find something better, please let me know!

This thing is da' bomb! I previously had a centrifugal style juicer and just the slow process without whipping all the air into the juice made for a much richer tasting juice than my previous machine. This machine is so quiet too compared to the other one that I had. Pros: Cleaning it, setup, dis-assembly, juice quality, quiet, quality of construction. Cons: not really anything. The feeder tube is not a larger mouth style so you might spend another 30 seconds to 1 minute prepping to juice since you need to make sure that the pieces are smaller but what does eight cuts on an apple mean compared to four on my previous machine. I don't think I will cry about losing a minute each time I juice. The end product that comes out of the machine is just so rich and tasty it makes me want to scream. Very nice yield too. Make sure to watch several youtube videos on how to use the slower juicer machines. Things like some leafy greens or celery do need to be cut fairly small due to the cellulose and fiber strands but, again, that is not really adding to prep time unless you like the large mouthed units that you can dump and run the produce. The first juice I did was: beet root (1/2 lb), carrot (1lb), 2 red delicious apples, 1 orange, 2 ounces spinach threw all that into a blender with a banana and flax (a rip off of Jamba Juice's Orange Reviver). The total yield on this, after the banana and blended, was just over 1 quart for those that are curious. I had read that sometimes this style juicer can stop due to too much of a load so I did leave some of the carrots large on purpose to see what the size was that would stop the machine. Now I know that I needed a whopping one more cut on one fat piece of carrot and no more issues. If you currently juice and are curious about slow juicers, go for it. Well worth the money, don't forget 15 YEARS coverage on this bad boy. Or, if you have never juiced but are serious about starting, dive it. Don't waste time with the $129 spinners....like the one I threw away already. High speed spinning parts - anything gets off balance and you have a juicer that will vibrate and slide all over the counter top and that is LOUD when it happens. I'd have to take the old one apart, put it back together carefully and half the time it still felt like I was using a machine that was going to explode.

Llegó un día antes de lo esperado. Producto totalmente nuevo. Promete mucho Omega y también mi familia y yo esperamos mucho de Omega. Es una máquina excepcional, delicioso nuestro primer jugo. Con el tiempo actualizaré mi reseña, pues de verdad esperamos mucho de Omega, en la primer impresión, no le pide nada a Hurom.

Excelente

After using a centrifugal juicer for the past 10 years, I decided it was time for an upgrade. After much research online I decided on the Omega VSJ843 juicer. It turned out to be an excellent choice. I get at least 20% more juice than I was getting using my old Jack Lalanne Power Juicer. So you save on produce, especially if you are using organic. The pulp comes out dry for all hard fruits, vegetables and herbs. Pulp from cucumbers will not be as dry because of the softness and high water content. The best part...NO PULP in the juice, so no straining required. Cleaning and assembling the juicer is easy and fast. Good for juicing spinach and other greens.The auger pulls in the vegetables on its own and you hardly ever need to use the plunger. The juicer is pricey, but if you are a person like me. juicing every single day of the year, it is most definitely a worthwhile investment. My only regret....I should have bought it earlier. UPDATE The juicer stopped working after just 4 months of use. I called customer service and was told that it was probably the motor. They asked me to ship the motor and not the accessories, to their repair center in Florida. Cost me $60 to ship it through Canada Post. They sent it back after 2 weeks with a note saying, " UNIT TURNED ON- CUSTOMER DID NOT SHIP ACCESSORIES TO VERIFY IF A PART MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE- REPLACED UNIT." They sent the motor back with new accessories which was AMAZING!! In order to find out which of old parts was not working I assembled the juicer by putting in one part from the old accessories with the new to see if it worked. Anyhow, I found out that it was the hopper or the lid with shoot that was not working. Although it clicked in place just right, the juicer did not turn on. I was extremely disappointed in the fact that this product broke down in such a short amount of time.

TENGO APROXIMADAMENTE UN MES USÁNDOLO Y TODO EXCELENTE LOS JUGOS SALEN CON EL MAS MÍNIMO DE RESIDUOS, A VECES SI SE LOGRAN COLAR ALGUNOS PERO NADA IMPORTANTE, SI ACASO CON EL PEPINO PERO CON TODO LO DEMÁS NADA.. MUY BUEN EXTRACTOR LO RECOMIENDO

My last juicer was a centrifugal juicer and I bought this juicer because wanted to extract “more” from the fruits and veggies (especially with the higher prices for produce). Setup was weird at first but you get used to it quickly. Juice quality is excellent and the leftover pulp is much drier than my centrifugal juicer. The Omega machine is also quieter. I like to make large batch of juice for the household and this machine handles longer juicing sessions well. Clean up is a breeze. The only negatives…The rubber flaps in the machine are my only worry. They are tricky to put back into place and I worry they may rip one day (hopefully not). I haven’t checked if Omega sells those parts and hope they do. I would happily purchase another Omega juicer.
