Omega VRT350 Vertical Low Speed Juicer, Silver

I had them too, I wondered never juicing before if I should spend as much as Omega requires romstepminto the Vrt. Would it serve my juicing needs? I did all the hours of research most modern consumers do, and narrowed it down to the VRT 350, the 8006, and the Green Power Kempo. What I wanted was a great juicer with longevity that I could throw a variety of produce at. I don't care for making my own nut butters or sorbets, I just wanted incredible juice. I plan on doing about 60% greens and veggies, and the rest fruit. Does the VRT deliver? A resounding YES! Better than you would believe, there hasn't been a produce item yet that it hasn't squeezed the life out of into tasty juice. We've been running the juice gauntlet ever since it arrived a few days ago, spinach, carrots, celery, cucumber, pineapple, oranges, apples, ginger, and garlic are just some of what our Vrt has chewed on. It has handled all of it from the soft fruits to the leafy spinach it works like a champ. I'm sure there are a variety of juicers out there that would do the same, but I know I picked the right one for our household. Overall I'm very pleased, and had a friend come over who has a juice fountain centrifugal design and was amazed. Y the quietness, the yield, and the quality. The Omega puts out the best tasting juice you've ever had. Here's some questions I had in the beginning, I'm not sure they are yours but they would've helped me being a new juicer, they are curiosities I didn't see the answer to during my search for juice. 1. Is there a ton of pulp? I saw mixed reviews on this and wasn't sure what to expect, I'm not a huge pulp fan, but I don't hate it unless it overpowers the texture of the entire glass. The VRT comes with a large and small strainer and I've never used anything but the small/fine screen. If you've ever ordered fresh squeezed OJ at a restaurant and know what it's like you can expect less pulp than that. If you bought a store bought juice the VRT produced it would probably say "some pulp." it's not pulp free but it doesn't get in the way either. I've been pouring my juices over ice and I don't even notice the pulp. It lead me to believe that some people want a lack of pulp on the level of something packaged that isn't even juice, like a vitamin water or Gatorade. I was taken aback by the first glass, as it was so smooth I can't figure out what people are complaining about. If you must have a pulp free juice a cone masticating juicer like the 8006 or centrifugal juicer is probably better. personally I think the vrt outs out a rich flavor and a glass that's easy to drink. In short no one I've handed a glass to has mentioned the pulp. 2. Preparation and cleaning time, is it a hassle? Again I say, these can't e serious complaints. I'm a person in a rush like many of us are and taking the minimal time to prepare juice has been beyond easy, let's take cucumber, carrot, celery and spinach. That's one I like, basically I chop the cuke and celery in under a minute, lop off the tops of the carrots, and start stuffing spinach in the thing. There are some great tips on juicing out there, especially by John over at discountjuicers.com --- nothing has ever gotten stuck on me and while I don't feed everything I possibly can into the thing at full speed it chomps through produce very quickly. I simply listen to it chew up the previous item as I toss the next one in, it's really fast though, and I find myself lagging behind the juicer frequently. Cleanup is a snap, see my forest sentence here, there is no complaint, it takes no time at all. One caver is if you are utterly lazy, the parts on the Omega say they cannot be thrown into the dishwasher or it will be damaged. I'm not going to do that anyway with an appliance this pricey. I'll time myself in the future but right now prep and cleanup has to be under 5 minutes it's quicker than making a cup of coffee. 3. Is it worth the admission? That friend I told yo about with the breville, well we had a juice off last night and the difference in quality and yield was astounding, not to mention that we were all laughing at the lawnmower like sound the juice fountain produced. In contrast I was running the vrt on the counter next to our barstools with music playing from an iPhone and conversation going. Then I heard "what are you doing, you can't juice spinach" as I lumped a handful together. The quality of the juice, and what it can juice is simply amazing. It's so consistent in the glass it's like you bought something off the shelf or went to a juice bar, except that it's even better! I do a lot of exercise and meditation and I like to think I know my body, and like most Americans i have too much fat, refined flour, and processed food in my diet. I'm an organic consumer, go to farmers markets, but I don't kid myself, I know what my modern diet is doing to me. The first glass of carrot and spinach changed me into a complete believer, I instantly felt a prolonged sense of energy throughout the day. Already I find myself craving a glass of juice in the middle of the day. If you are struggling with the finance, maybe do what I did and tell your friends you would like an amazon card to put toward better health. This was our Christmas present to my wife and I this year, and for the price of good health it can't be beat. 4. Is juicing expensive? It looks that way, especially if you watch the videos of the vrt where John is using 3 pounds of carrots :) in truth you can build a glass or two for yourself with as little as, 3 carrots, 2 apples, one celery stalk. I was ale to find 3 pound bags of organic apples for $3 at a regular store, carrots for a $1 per pound, and the yield with the VRT is so high you don't need a ton of reduce. The first couple times I actually made far too much following juice recipes online. Besides those bacon and eggs I like so much are equally expensive if not more so. It's only been a few days but I feel like we made the best choice going down the path of slow juicing. I'll try to check back in a fe months and report my progress. Right now I feel the choice should have been a no brainer with a lot less deliberation, but hindsight is always 20/20. It may not be the right juicer for you, but I feel like any juicer in this range is going to be a boon to your health. For me, that is the VRT 350, and I'm utterly pleased I watched all those comparisons on the web and pulled the trigger. Best of luck to you and your juice!

My husband and I have been fully immersed in a healthier lifestyle for the last 2 1/2 years. We eat all organic, all whole foods, raw milk, etc, etc - the Weston Price way of living. We got interested in juicing after watching the Gerson Therapy documentary - not because either of us has cancer or any other chronic diseases, but because we want the best health possible . I've been researching juicers for the last year and finally settled on the Omega VRT 350. We looked at the Norwalk and Champion (both recommended by Gerson), the Omega 8000 series, the Green Star and Green Power series, as well as a plethora of others I can't remember. Centrifugal juicers were never in the running for us, as we want to actually preserve and utilize the nutrients in our juices - not just create something sweet to drink. We got our Omega VRT this week and I must say I am quite a fan and really really pleased I went with this juicer. Here are some reasons why I would recommend the VRT: 1) Extremely easy to use, clean, and store. a. The feeding shoot is much wider than I expected it to be, allowing much quicker loading of produce (although I always cut the produce into smaller pieces - that just seems prudent for any kind of machinery...why stress your motor?). b. The only time I have had to push the produce down with the feeder bar was when using leafy greens that don't have enough weight to fall on their own, otherwise I don't have to do a thing to get the produce masticated - it works very very efficiently without any extra effort on my part. c. Cleaning takes just a couple minutes and the juicer is designed to be able to get all nooks and crannies cleaned quite easily with a provided oversized toothbrush. d. It's about the size of a blender, making it much easier to store versus the size of the Omega 8000 series or the Green Star, etc. 2) Quality of the juice and dryness of the leftover compost "meat" of produce. a. With the low rpm, we are told that we are preserving the most nutrients and enzymes possible. This becomes fairly obvious when you actually taste the juice. Even my brother in law - the ultimate skeptic - commented on how rich, thick, and "full" the juice tastes. He even tried tasting the "meat" of the produce that is shot into another bucket after the juice is pressed out. When he tasted that fibrous compost, he was shocked to realize that there was zero flavor in it. The "meat" of the carrot now had no flavor, as all the nutrients, vitamins, and enzymes had been pressed into the juice we just drank (the juice he called "rich, thick and full"). b. Additionally, when you touch that leftover fibrous material (the remains of the vegetable or fruit in the compost bucket), it is dry, indicating that the juicer truly did "press" as much of the juice out of the produce item. 3) Initial health response. a. While it is really too soon to tell for sure, I will say that I have battled insomnia for most of my life. Although it's only been a week, I have consistently slept better in this past week than I have for years. We juice once in the evening after dinner, and each night has been a full night of sleep...five in a row, which is unheard of for me. Maybe there are other causations, but it is interesting to note that this started happening the day we started juicing. b. Additionally, I have always had a rash on my upper arms. Again, it is not gone entirely, but the bumps have reduced in size. Maybe it's the power of the mind, but I do think there is a link to getting such a potent shot of vitamins direct to the blood stream and organs. Overall, I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to keep improving their health. Don't waste your money on a centrifugal juicer, rather take a few more months to save the cash and buy a masticating or triturating juicer. You will be quite pleased with the results. I would also recommend you youtube this guy named John with discountjuicers.com. He has a number of youtube videos that really help explain what each juicer does and the pros and cons.

The main things I'm noticing are: 1> Noise level, masticating juicer running at low 80rpm to "crush" the juice out of the little bits of pulp. This thing is very quiet compared to the centrifugal juiceman. Heck it's almost as quiet as my Bosch ultra quiet dishwasher. 2> Cleanup, pulp ejects out of the juicer. I bought my juiceman knowing it had a self-contained pulp catcher. I didn't think about how much produce(pulp) you have to go through to get a large glass of juice. With the pulp ejected out the side everything else is just a rinse in hot water. The screen requires some brushing with the included "toothbrush", but the wiper design gets most of the pulp off the screen. You will normally have 5 parts to clean: 1)body(juice/pulp spout section), 2)masticator[?], 3)wiper, 4)screen, 5)top feed chute. If you're doing greens you may have to wipe the 6)pusher but you shouldn't need to use the pusher for most items. If you clog up the pulp or juice outlet you may overflow the juicer onto the 7)base so you'd have to wipe it down. 3>I'm not seeing HUGE differences in juice production, maybe 10% more but I'm thinking closer to 7-8%. Some drawbacks: 1> Can't juice "lots" of soft stuff like apples. Some of the pulp won't flow down into the juicing area. I juiced 2 medium granny smith apples and got right at 8oz of juice but the pulp wasn't flowing through the bottom of the masticating part as I finished the last apple. The masticator[?]is like a fat teardrop with threads that get smaller near the bottom. The top half is a formed "tooth/blade" to cut/bite a piece of produce and the threads work that produce into the screens/filters and tiny teeth that break it into small pieces of pulp that are squeezed to extract the juice. Items like carrots, ginger, celery that have bulk flow better. Note: need to cut stringy items like celery sort of short so that the machine can process them properly without having them hang on the pulp outlet tube. 2> Can't just drop things into the feed shoot willy-nilly. There are some very good youtube videos about the VRT350 and VRT330(although I do think the "host" works for Omega in some way). The jist of it is alternate produce of different textures and let the machine work it through at its own pace. As I noted in #1 drawback, single item juicing with soft stuff leaves some pulp in the machine. pulp=juice. Carrots, Kale, spinach, cucumber, ginger, celery all went through no problems. Something to note again, you shouldn't need to use the pusher. If you try to force things into the body of the juicer too fast you will either totally lock it up or plug the pulp ejector. I really like my VRT350 much, much better than the juiceman--but it's not really a fair comparison since they are two different designs. My parting piece of advice would be to cruise to youtube, search on juicers. Then watch anything by the rawfoods guy. He's a VRT fanatic but has good advice and pointers on using the machine. Since I'm not seeing a rule against it in the "guidelines" here's a copied url to get started: [...] The only reason I'm giving a 4 instead of 5 stars is that the base is smooth and has some bulk to it so it feels like it's going to slip out of your hands. It is small enough to leave on my counter but if I had to move it often I'd be thinking it would be nice to have texture or a handle on the base.

The wife and discussed juicing for about two months and finally decided to do it. After doing a fair amount of reading and watching various videos on the Internet I decided on the VERT 330 HD and ordered it through Amazon. No tax and free shipping was a plus. With free shipping I fully expected to wait a week or more for delivery and was pleasantly surprised when it arrived in two days via UPS. I think the juicer itself is all it is supposed to be, heavy duty and multipurpose. Right off the bat we had to give it a test drive. There were about 20 baby carrots and an apple handy in no time at all they were converted into about 8 ounces of juice. The juicer comes with two screens, a fine and a course depending on how much pulp you may like or dislike in your juice. This first try we tried the fine screen. The juice tasted great and I looked forward to shopping for "judicable's." The next day, after a trip to the local grocery, I gave the juicer another try. This time I used a couple of full size carrots, and apple, and 5-6 collard leaves to see how green juice would be. I had read where long green leaves like collards could stop up the juicer and it would be better to break/tear them up into pieces. The apple was wedged into about 6 pieces and the larger end of the carrots halved. The collard leaves didn't feed quite as well and required a bit of coaxing by using the carrot pieces as a plunger. The combination of the tough/fibrous collard leaves and the hard (and somewhat large) carrot halves required me to reverse the juicer a few times to get it all to feed. This really wasn't an issue and now I know that I need to feed smaller bits of heavy/dense items. The good news is that despite my overloading the juicer, the reverse is a great feature and allowed me to back up and go again with little issue. I would also mention that this time I decided to use the filter screen with larger holes for more pulp. To be frank with you, I did not like the amount of pulp that resulted in the juice. It was just too thick. I ended up pulling out strainer and running the juice through it to remove quite a bit of pulp. The juice itself was fine. Now again, this is a matter of taste and I'm not real sure I like the taste of "raw" collards that much. The carrot to me Is kind of a neutral flavor where the apple adds a bit of sweetness. This helped cut the collard flavor. You just have to get over the dark green color of the juice. I keep telling myself that this is healthy and it's a "good thing." Anyway, no reflection on the juicer, just my first impressions of juicing. I am sure that with some experience I will find some combinations of fruits and vegetables I like more than others. The unit assembles and disassembles pretty easy. Clean up is a bit of a chore. I don't have any other juicers to compare clean up to but it does take a few minutes. Most of the pulp goes into its own catch container and you simply dump it in the trash. However the inner workings, there are 6-7 pieces, can still hold a fair amount of pulp that has to be cleaned out. Once you have collected your juice and both the pulp and juice containers are in place it may help to cycle a cup or two of water through the juicer to help flush out excess pulp. Otherwise you may find the strainer in your sink full of pulp rinsed off the various pieces. You will probably end up with pulp scattered around regardless. A sink with a spray nozzle helps. The most difficult item to clean was the screen. The juicer comes with a "toothbrush" to facilitate cleaning. I had to go over the screen with it 3-4 times, shake the water out, look closely, and go over it some more to ensure pulp was not clogging the fine mesh. This may be "easy clean" compared to some juicers, I can't say. I'm not really complaining here, cleaning up in the kitchen is part of the job no matter what you do. This is just more of a reality check to let you know that cleaning this juicer after use will take a few minutes. As most everyone knows, colored juice, weather its green, or orange or whatever will stain. After two uses I'm seeing some of the plastic components of the juicer starting to discolor. Again, probably par for the course but it's more of a reminder to be cautious of clothes, counter tops, dish towels, or whatever juice may come in contact with. It's probably my inexperience, but I tended to be a bit messy on this second juice outing that included straining the juice to reduce the pulp content. I'm thinking my technique for juicing and cleaning up will get better with a few more uses and I will not doubt use the fine mesh screen. I look forward to trying more recipes and trying more fruits like orange and grapefruit as well as flavors like ginseng, beets, and even a bit of garlic or hot pepper in some juices. I really look forward to health benefits. Though it might come off I'm been negative about this juicer I don't mean it to be. From my limited experience I think it is a great product. A ten year warranty pretty much speaks for itself. I really wanted to convey my experiences as a first time juicer while evaluating the VERT 330 HD while providing a reality check as it were for others that are thinking about juicing.

So before I write my review of the product I'd like to include a few facts/qualifiers about myself. As the name suggests, I am a graduate student. I'm getting my PhD in a social science field, so when I say I've extensively researched it I mean that I have done much more than simply looked at a review or two. I have both a limited income for expensive purchases and an over abundance of experience and education in the researching of things. Additionally, this is my first juicer. I enjoy juices (fruit and green), and I've had many of them over the years, but haven't had the opportunity/will/desire to purchase a juicer before now. I have several friends with centrifugal juicers and have been able to see them in use and try juices from them, so I did have somewhat of a base of comparison before making my purchase. Ultimately I chose a masticating juicer, and this particular model, because I felt it was what best suited my lifestyle. I would strongly recommend that anyone considering purchasing a juicer as conduct their own thorough research in order to decide which one will be best for you or your family. So on to the Omega VRT 350: I decided on a masticating juicer because I knew that I wanted the ability to store juices for at least a day. One of the benefits of masticating juicers is that you can do just that due to the low oxidization of the juice. The longest I have stored a juice is about 48 hours. I tend to make large juices (I get very close to overflowing the container that comes with the juicer) and I will normally pour the juice into 1 or 2 glass bottles to store, then drink the rest. The juice is definitely best fresh. There is a bit of separation when the juices are stored overnight (from what I can tell this is the pulp and the juice separating, it is nothing like the separation you see with centrifugal juicers!), but a good shake and they takes almost exactly the same as they do fresh. The juicer comes with two filters, one coarse and one fine. The coarse filter definitely leaves a lot of pulp in the juice. So much that it seems more like it was blended rather than juiced. While it does make the drink a bit...chewier...it also makes for a much more substantial and filling juice. My goal is to transition myself to the coarse filter so that I can gain even more of the benefits from the produce I am juicing. The fine filter, on the other hand, strains most of the pulp from the juice. I would not say all of it, there are definitely still a few bits and pieces of pulp. This will not be a super smooth juice, like that concentrated "orange juice" garbage they sell at the grocery stores. If you absolutely cannot stand pulp in your juice, this may not be the machine for you. One option would be to further strain the juice with a sieve or cheesecloth, but I have not tried it. As far as functionality, ease of use, cleaning, etc. the Omega VRT has it's pros and cons. Overall I would say that most of the parts seem to be very well made and are holding up quite well after several weeks of juicing. I have noticed some wear on the plastic parts of the sieve that I am keeping an eye on for now. I also found that the juicing basket (for lack of a better word - I'm referring to the main part of the machine that houses the auger) is very difficult to remove from the base. A small amount of coconut oil rubbed on the black locking mechanisms has made this problem non-existent. The filters can also be a bit difficult to clean. I find that tiny particles of produce easily clog them and these components easily take the longest out of everything for me to wash after a juice. Even still, I do not find clean up to be terribly difficult. I have tried the "self-cleaning" trick of running water through the running juicer, but I found this just made a mess and the juicer still had to be hand washed afterwards. When I make a juice I usually clean the juicer immediately, taking apart the machine and cleaning each piece right away so nothing gets dried on. I would say the whole process from start (taking veggies out of the fridge, cleaning & prepping) to finish (cleaning all components, wiping the counters, etc.) takes me about 30 minutes. Again, I am making at least 3-4 juices at a time, so this averages to 10 minutes or less per juice. I'm also slow and methodical, so this process could probably be shorted for people in a hurry. I feel like I had a lot to say about this juicer, and I'm sure I'm missing some points that I wanted to make. Overall, it is definitely a product that I would buy again. But like I mentioned earlier, this is because I feel this particular style of juicers suits my needs best. There are some basic issues: celery doesn't juice particularly well (this is true for anything stringy, it will clog the port where the pulp comes out), it can be time consuming to prep everything (you need to cut things like carrots/beets/apples into small chunks to get them through the opening), and there is still pulp in the juice even with the finest filter. However, none of these issues concern me terribly. I simply don't juice large amount of celery (no more than 2 or 3 stalks in a juice) and make sure to cut it into small piece, alternating it with harder items like carrots or beets. The extra prep time doesn't bother me. Something about cleaning, chopping, and preparing a giant bowl of veggies, some fruit, and the odd herb or chunk of ginger is relaxing and exciting. I never juice from a recipe, so I have no idea how they will turn out (answer: so far so good!) so it's always a bit of an adventure. The pulp doesn't bother me as I've always liked my OJ with lots of pulp, so having a bit of something in my juice doesn't seem weird or gross to me. Overall, I think that the Omega VRT is a great masticating juicer. I like it for its compact size and ease of use. You can also supposedly make nut milks with it, a feature I have yet to try. I hope that this review has been helpful for someone who is considering purchasing a juicer. Researching what you want is very important (unless you just have money to throw away on $300+ appliances). I have one friend with a centrifugal juicer who loves it because it is exactly what he wanted, and another with the same juicer who regrets not having done more research and spending the extra money on the masticating juicer she later realized was what she really wanted. On that note..happy juicing!

If price is not an option then this is absolutely the best juicer. I won't bore you with another review repeating the same thing other reviews detailed. I am familiar with all styles of juicer from the old school Champion to the supposed latest and greatest high speed juicers. I do not fully grasp how the machine quietly devours anything you put into it but it juices any and everything. The juice is delicious and the waste comes out completely dry. This machine gobbles pomegranate, seeds and all, like it is nothing. It is easy to use, does not take up too much counter space and cleaning is easy. This is a juicer you will use. Update: My second juicer did not turn on after the fifth use. I called Omega customer service and left a voice message after being on hold for about fifteen minutes. Eventually I was forced to leave a voice message and that message was never returned. I called again two weeks later and again was force to leave a voice message which has not been returned as of this email. I also used the email request from on the Omega website which was not responded to. I call the parent company Legacy Products and they said they were only able to send an email to the Omega division and that the Omega division was "very busy" which may be a sign of problems with the product. I purchased the Omega branded version of the Hurom Slow Juicer, the actual Korean manufacturer of the juicer, specifically because I expected a domestic company to provide service commensurate with a domestic supplier. I do like the juicer and the technology but I would not buy a third juicer and I suggest you call the following Omega service number as objective evidence of the lack of customer service. Omega Products, Inc. 800-633-3401 717-561-1105 6291 Lyters Lane Harrisburg, PA 17111 I am confident there will be no answer even if you push the option of "sales." You know a company has problems when they do not pick up the phone to make a sale.

I did a quick review of 'the reviewers' giving 5 stars to this juicer and the ones I looked at haven't done many reviews or have given most products high ratings. Go check it out yourself. Very suspect, and this leads to the title of my review because I think it's all propoganda. I was only able to make it through 3 sessions with this machine, which I hesitate to call a juicer. It's a grinder mostly and not a very good one due to the clogging issues. It seems to have a design flaw with the output. Unless fibrous greens are cut very short, the rotation effect aligns them and clogs the output very thoroughly. Of course I did see some of the amazingly convincing u-tube videos by sellers of this product. That's a key point to keep in mind, those people sell juicers for a living. A new one comes on the market and they try to sell it. Again, they are sellers of a product they want you to buy. Ease of use? Not really. Sure you can feed things like carrots into it fairly easily and retrieve smaller quantity of juice than with any other juicer I've used before. But with most anything else, somehow I ended up being very messy. It's not my first time with a juicer, I've been doing this for years. Pulpy? Yes, it's pulpy juice, so its necessary to strain it. Frankly, I've just never met someone who will take a drink of pulpy juice and then pulp free juice and then reach for the pulpy juice. So I don't believe it when a review states "Pulpy, just like I like it." Sounds more like something a paid reviewer would write, rather than someone who plans on drinking a lot of juice or drink it daily. Cleanup? Took around 10-15 minutes. On the outlet, which is covered by a silicon flap, small pieces of matter get between the flap and the hard plastic and using the brush end pick it's possible to get most of it. Most of it, but not all of it. Dissassembly with a philips screwdriver is possible. That's just not my idea of how to clean a daily juicer that I plan to use for years. Running pulp through again to get more juice? This is a pretty consistent way to clog it and increase your cleaning time. The output is more like a soupy mash that again needs strained and yields not much more juice. A better juicer strains it for you automatically so you don't have to run the pulp through. But why would anyone think to run the pulp through again? Yes, you got it, because the pulp is pretty wet. High quality juice? Well, I'm not sure, but as informed from the media machine there's less oxidation. I read on one review of a masticating juicer that apple juice will stay un-brown longer, as a sign of less oxidation, but I didn't try it. So to summarize, you can read pros and cons on all the other reviews, but my take is this is a faulty machine driven by marketing hype. It's going back and has really soured me on the Omega brand, though I know they just repackaged a Huron. I'm going to try the Green Star and Angel juicers next. Update of August 2013: Surprised this juicer is still out on the market. Have heard many additional stories of dissatisfaction. The only people I've found who liked this machine are newbies who're not experienced or have not tried a quality juicer. As for me, tried the Green Star and Angel 7500. Kept the Angel and use it frequently with no complaints. The Angel is likely the most efficient juicer available and uses a twin gear masticating process, it's built like a tank and is all stainless steel. The Angel is excellent for leafy greens and hard veggies but will struggle a bit with softer fruits unless harder veggies are interspersed. As an aside, I use it to get the juice of black currants for wine and then keep the pulp to toss in a fruit bag to get extra tannins. Using a pressure cooker to extract black currant juice, a frequently relied upon method for notoriously hard to juice currants, changes the flavor and requires additives to adjust the wine's flavors, but using the Angel results in excellent outcome and allowing a pure black currant wine with no additives (no raisins or banana). Mentioned this here because I run about 18lbs of currants through the Angel at one time without problems of any sort. The Omega wouldn't even be able to juice more than a few ounces or pound before requiring dis-assembly and cleaning, but also doesn't provide dry pulp like the Angel. Anyway, the Angel is 3X as much in price, but once you've experienced the efficiency (more juice, dry pulp) of it the thought of the high price is easy to digest. As an aside, there's small juicing business start-up that was using this juicer as one of their daily juicers for some specific juicing chores (not as a primary juicer). The owner said she liked it and I saw her working with it nearly daily over the course of several weeks. But then I started working in a different part of town and didn't visit for several months, but when I did visit again found she'd grown the business and replaced the Omega with a Champion and an Angel. Another local health food store that provides juicing as a key part of their business relies upon Champion juicers.

I just purchased the Omega Vert350 HD through Amazon. The seller was Kitchen Kapers and the order shipped via Amazon Prime and arrived 2 days later as promised. Took the juicer out of the package and set it up. Very easy, only a few parts and straightforward. There were however no other instructions other than setup. Since I was new to juicing I spent the next hour on the internet researching juicing recipes and how to prepare the fruit and vegetables. A trip to the local specialty foods (Nino Savaggios) and I was juicing away. The unit is quiet, works great on everything I threw at it and cleans fairly simple. Then I went to register for the 10 yr warranty. Once again, no documentation but some searching on the Omega website and I found a link to register the product. So if you know how to juice and/or don't mind researching via the internet, this juicer is great. It is extremely quiet which is a key as I want to do this early in the morning without waking family. It handles grean leafy vegetables and hard vegetables like carrots just the same. The juice may be a little pulpy and I have simply strained it again with a fine strainer before drinking. Side note: I spent many hours prior to purchase researching juicer types and watching videos of side by side comparison in YouTube. I think if you want an all around juicer that is quiet and will juice reliably for a lifetime this is the best unit out there. But if you want specialty juicers for wheatgrass or you want extremely quick units and don't mind the noise, there may be better/cheaper alternative. Do your research, there is more than enough info on the internet. Good luck. If you end up back at this one and only worry about the cost, go ahead and purchase. 10 yr warranty equals only $37 a year for use. That was my rational. This juicer has exceeded my expectations and I believe is worth the cost.

Despues de estar leyendo reviews de extractores me decidi por este modelo y no me equivoque. Este es mi primer extractor de "cold press" y estoy sorprendida de su efectividad, extrae mayor cantidad de jugo, es silencioso y no es tardado; y de la limpieza del mismo es muy sencillo y practico.

Very happy with the results. Bought on a friend's recommendation. It extracts a lot of juice. I find it easy to take apart and clean. You need to clean right after juicing as then it is an easy task, instead of leaving it as the fruit pieces get dried and stuck otherwise. Would recommend to anyone who wants to juice regularly.

I bought this juicer about a month ago when i decided i wanted to try a juice fast. I probably would have gone for a less expensive brand except i love the 10 year warranty. i could easily spend 3 times as much if i had to replace a juicer every couple of years so that was what i was thinking when i bought it. Once i started using it I knew i had made the right choice. It practically feeds itself, drawing everything down and almost never having to use the plunger. It's quick. It's easy to clean - and i like that i can just run water through it a few times during the day, when i use it and just do one thorough clean at the end of the day... its quicker than doing dishes. My only only complaint is that you get a lot of pulp. I'm the kind of person who doesn't even like pulp in the bought orange juice, so that doesn't work so well for me. But the solution to that is once i've made the juice i run it through my blender - and voila!! super smooth juice with no pulp and soooo flavourful. I know it's one more step but for me it's well worth it. This juicer even feels like quality. I love it and I love seeing it sit on my counter.

Soy feliz, con mi omega. Obtengo unos jugos deliciosos.. Se conservan los sabores integros. Gracias por su recomendación, el servicio de primera.

Great product. Looks and feels very sturdy. My wife absolutely loves it.
