-This is a "nutrition center" which means that it comes with additional pieces for dough, pasta and other such needs. I did not try these out yet, but it at least offers additional functions.
-It is very heavy and solid. The auger is a heavy duty plastic and is sturdy. The feeder, juice screen and end cap are a lighter plastic but not really needed to be any heavier. The housing around the auger and part of the feeder is lighter and clear which is useful when monitoring for juice/pulp. Overall, I do not get the impression that any of the plastic parts are cheaply made.
-The manual recommends juicing for no more than 30 minutes at a time. This is to protect the motor. After about 20 minutes, you will feel motor housing get warm. This does not affect the juice in any way.
-The feeder tube is small, but once you see how it juices, this is more understandable. The auger moves the vegetable/fruit through a smaller and smaller space to produce the juice. If the feeder tube were larger, then the auger would have to be much longer. I was able to cut pieces to about 1" and it worked with no problems. Anyone handy with a kitchen knife can do this in no time at all or you can use a mandolin slicer to aid in cutting the smaller pieces. At 1" I found that the pieces do not need to be pushed down through the tube (for carrots, celery, limes, etc). Even at 1", leafy greens still require pushing, but with moderate to light force only.
-Juicing is slower than other types of juicers but it produces more juice with less product.
-The noise is very minimal. I would compare it to the same level as an electric can opener.
-When juicing firmer vegetables like carrots, you will notice the plastic "wiggle" a little bit. I actually found it useful. The slight give actually prevents the clogging of the auger which would lead to burning out the motor. The amount of "wiggle" was proportional to the size and amount of the item I was placing in the feeder tube. If I tried to put too much, you would see more "wiggle". I did not get the impression that the plastic was being strained in any way.
-The pulp comes out dry but not completely dry. This is probably standard for most juicers. I did find that you could run some of the wetter pulp back through and get even more juice. For the most part, this was not required.
-The pulp container is easy to dump and rinse while in the middle of juicing.
-The juice container is a good size. I didn't measure it, but estimate it to be able to hold at least 20-24 ounces of juice at least.
-It comes with a strainer to help with foam and pulp.
-The resulting juice is of good quality. I found that there was hardly if any pulp still in the juice after straining in the included strainer. When drinking, I did not get a textured feel to the juice like I have with other products.
-While juicing leafy greens and carrots, I did notice that the auger would hold onto some of the pulp (after 10-15 minutes of juicing). At the time, I think it was because I was not mixing vegetables like the manual recommends. I was juicing 1 type of vegetable at a time. It was fairly noticeable when this occured, as you will see a small amount of juice in the housing for the auger. Despite other reviewers comments, this juice never got back into the motor housing. To correct the issue, simply stop the machine, pull off the end cap, then slide out the juice strainer and auger. Knock off the pulp on the auger and rinse both pieces. Put the machine back together and you are back to juicing. It took me about 15-30 seconds to do this. I have only had to do it when juicing for an extended amount of time.
-There are exactly 7 pieces to clean after normal juicing and it is very very easy to re-assemble. The only piece requiring additional effort is the juice strainer. Using the included brush made this an easier task. The other pieces come clean with just a light rinse. All told, a soap and water cleaning should take you about 2-3 minutes.
-Juicing results so far: 1lb carrots = 8oz juice. 1 bunch of spinach = 6oz juice. 1 bunch of parsley = 2-3oz. 1 bunch of Turnip greens = 6oz juice. 1 bunch of celery = 8+oz juice (2 stalks = 2oz).
-I did not witness any warming of the juice. I refrigerated the vegatables before juicing and the juice came out at about the same temperature. The juicing is slower so depending on how long the juicing session lasts, your juice may be warmer, but only because it has gotten closer to room temperature. You could prevent this by pre-cutting your vegetables and keeping them in serving size containers/plastic in the fridge.
Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for good quality juice from a masticating juicer. The juicer is quiet (so good for early morning juicing). The juicer yields a good amount of juice for the amount of product. It is very easy to clean (I am really lazy so this is important). The need to have such small pieces is a negative in that it adds to juicing time. The occasional clogging of the auger is a negative, but not a big one since it is so easy to address. The additional functionality beyond juicing is a plus above comparably priced juicers.
I would definitely buy this juicer again.
So I have never used a masticating juicer and read other reviews of this product. The reviews I have seen seemed a little mixed so I was sort of scared to make this purchase. The reviews lean more toward the better end of the spectrum however. The issue I see is that no matter what you get into the price for something superb is always more than I want to pay. It doesn't seem to matter what the product is some snobbery is expected. So with that I hope those are all outliers. I just received the product today as well so some of what I have to say could be prejudice.
I unpacked the item and really it seems more than solid. Everything seems very well constructed but only time will tell. The motor is quiet, not dead quiet but nothing like what other machines sound like. When its grinding up food it sounds like its crunching away in an almost comical way. The pulp comes out the end very dry. I know my rabbit loves the pulp usually this she is not even touching. So I know its dry too dry for her. Also it comes with two containers one for the pulp and one for the juice.
The results, well let me first say the juice I made is not unique. I used to make this all the time so I know the exact taste from the other machine. With this it was greener and cooler actually down right cold when it came out. I always wash my vegetables then leave then in cold water right up till I start making them into juice. Usually when the juice comes out its almost room temperature with the other machine. The process with this is more extensive but not that overly laborious. I had to cut my apples into 8 instead of 4 and cucumbers into 4. This doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Also this juice can be stored in a dark container with no loss of vitamins which is a huge plus. The taste is amazing. It was so much better than I have had before. That alone made up for the cost difference.
The clean up is not bad either. I was able to pull everything apart fairly easy and really it cleans easier than my other machine. I can almost never get everything out of the metal strainers. I think in all it has the same amount of parts to clean as a top feed juicer. I agree these are not for everyone as its difficult at times to get everything down the shoot. In all though for the taste and nutrients this is well worth it. Now just to hope that it endures. My Walmart juicer broke in a year and the Sams club juicer is now going to be a gift. So that is really my only concern.
*** update ***
I have had this now for around 6 months. I really don't see it breaking or that it looks like it has had use. It seems to be very well built and I don't see how it wouldn't last. Of course I don't use it as much as I did up front. I still make around one juice a week or so. My favorite drink so far has been cucumber, carrot and sometimes a beet or ginger in the mix. For green juices I think this is a good way to go.

Well, price was definitely an obstacle, but when I found this one, I just had a feeling it would be the right one for me! I read reviews and loved the fact that it's a single-gear masticating juicer. This means less friction and heat as it's juicing, which translates to more nutrition in your juice!
I placed the order and received it within 2 days!! woot. woot! I got it out of the box, put it together, then read the directions. :-) All good so far and started juicing right away. What a pleasure to use!! No problem with the celery, no problem with the kale and great job with the orange and cucumber. The juice was delicious, easy to make and the machine was super quick to clean.
I love this juicer and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family!
Also love what a great job the Omega does of getting the maximum juice from the produce - as evidenced by how dry the pulp is coming out. That pulp, BTW, is excellent to save in the fridge and sprinkle on salads - heck, we even put some on our dog's food and he loves it. The Omega can also make pasta/noodles as well as sausages - not sure if we'll ever use that, but kinda cool. I also really likes the warranty - the product description reads 10 years, which is great, but the warranty card that came with it says 15, which is even better. Clean-up is super easy as well, no more than 5 minutes to completely clean it after use. It does call for a little more chopping and prep than the wide-mouth feed chute the Breville has, but that only adds a couple of minutes, so no big deal.We're loving the juice this creates - just enough pulp left to add taste and texture, and juicing takes no longer than a high-speed juicer.
We've had it only about a month, so I'll try to come back and post a review after some more time has passed, but as of now I would recommend this to anyone.
1. It is heavily weighted, and stays put on the counter.
2.The pieces are so easy to wash and reassemble.
3. It is quiet - family members in the next room aren't even aware that I'm using it.
4. It works quickly.
5. It separates the fiber out into a plastic bin that I can store in the fridge and then add this fiber to our salads throughout the day.
I liked it so well, that I purchased one for my daughter and her family and she is thrilled with it too.
The only drawback is that I wish the chute was a little bit wider, so that I didn't have to chop my vegetable pieces up quite so slender. (It still takes 1" to 1 1/2" wide pieces, however, so this is not a big issue).
