Omega Masticating Juicer, Cold Press Juicer Machine For Celery with Adjustable Dial, 200-Watts, Silver

UPDATE 7/15/2020: (Yes... one day later after my original review) I've been juicing larger batches in one sitting (6-10 cups worth of juice) so that I can transfer the juice to a large pitcher and save them for later, and thus avoid having to juice every day. While it still works well and the pulp comes out dry, a recurring issue is that the chamber (where the auger is crushing the produce against the metal strainer) gets clogged with pulp easily. This seems to worsen with cucumbers with skin on, even after chopping them up into small cubes before feeding into the juicer. The only practical solution is to turn off the juicer, disassemble, rinse out the parts (there is a LOT of pulp that falls off during this process), then reassemble and continue juicing. It's a little annoying having to do this two or three times, as a previous and cheaper juicer that my friend owned did not do this, BUT considering how dry the pulp comes out, I'd say that this is a minor setback that I can deal with.7/14/2020: After doing some research, I decided to go with a masticating slow juicer for larger volume yield, better nutritional value, better taste, and longer shelf life in the fridge (as I hate having to juice every day and prefer to juice in big quantities and store them in the fridge for later).I'm not some juicing guru who's been juicing for 20 years and has gone through dozens of brands and models; I'm just a novice who got tired of buying expensive juices from stores. Having said that, I think this does the job very well so far. I've used it about 4-5 times now for celery, apples, cucumber, ginger, and lemon with no hiccups. The pulp comes out very dry, so I know I'm getting my money's worth! It produces a little bit of foam and spits out the occasional cucumber seed into the juice, but not as much as the old no-name brand juicer my friend owns.I'm not sure if the auger is metal or very heavy duty plastic, but it seems sturdy. The product comes with a cleaning brush, which comes in handy when removing the pulp from the metal strainer. It's very easy to (dis)assemble. Hopefully this holds up for at least a few years with heavy daily use! Will update if anything comes up.

I find this easy to use, easy to clean, and a wonderful way to get more nutrition than eating 12 carrots & 3 apples.I use this juicer daily. No, it isn’t whisper quiet but I don’t find it loud either.I have done greens and kale and it does the job. Carrots do great. Celery is my favorite, but I am told to limit the ounces because of sodium. Apple juice for my 2 grandsons. Oranges don’t come out as dry but I will run the pulp through twice and the boys absolutely love it.I can’t say It is perfect, but I am very satisfied with the choice I’ve made.I read many good and bad reviews. The machine I received didn’t have the problems I read about.I did find a few black flakes in my juice from time to time. But I put my clean fruit and veggies diced with blossoms and carrots greens in with the apples and carrots. That is what I see. I also inspect my plunger and filter after each use while I’m cleaning it.I would recommend this juicer to my friends and family if they needed one.I can’t wait for jam and jelly season to come. True organic apple jelly, how sweet is that going to be.If your looking for a juicer give this one a try.

I had the Breville juice fountain for two years and then recently it just stopped mid operation. It wasn't jammed or overloaded, it just stopped. I looked for a thermal reset switch and there isn't one. Then I took it apart hoping that i would find a fuse or breaker. Nope. I searched online and found nothing. I contacted Breville, and instead of telling me how to reset it, they wanted me to send it in and be charged $100 (plus shipping) - and that would take half a month. Well my food in the fridge wasn't going to wait. Screw that. Plus, if this happens again in two more years - I have a Breville that cost more than this Omega (Recommended by Anthony Coviello). So I got the Omega delivered in one day.Now the Omega is great. It's clearly made very well, is much quieter, and produces twice the celery juice for the same grocery money. It cleans up much more easily and quickly. I am sure I made the wiser choice.

When we first got this juicer I knew it was a great juicer, leaving the pulp dry and easy to assemble and use. Over the first few times of juicing, I began to see a white buildup on some of the parts and just couldn’t get it off after soaking and relentlessly scrubbing. FINALLY found out that the parts could go in the toprack of the dishwasher and I’m so relieved. Easy peasy and the parts come out perfect. Do have to scrub the mesh screens with the brush included but no more white dry residue! We’ve had a little of over a year and only do celery for juice….several bottles at once and freeze them. Try it!!!
