Omega Nutrition Center Heavy Duty Masticating Juicer

Product Review

Equipped with a powerful commercial motor, this masticating juice extractor thoroughly chews up plant fibers to fully extract vitamins, enzymes, and minerals from fruits and vegetables. The unit's dual-stage juicing system ensures maximum efficiency, while its low rotation speed of 80 RPMs means no foaming, no clogging, and no heat build-up. Other highlights include a high juice yield with very dry pulp, an automatic pulp-ejection function for continuous juicing, heavy-duty construction, four stabilizing feet, and quiet operation. Easy to assemble, operate, and clean, the UL- and cUL-approved masticating juice extractor measures 14-1/2 by 6-1/2 by 15-1/2 inches and carries a 10-year warranty.

We have been happy with the Omega's performance and the dryness of the pulp produced. We have found that there is more pulp in the juice than we were accustomed to, but this has not caused any problems with taste or drinkability.

This particular model of juicer has a stronger auger than Omega's other models. The built-in handle makes the juicer easy to handle, and the chrome body makes clean-up quite easy. Preparation of the fruit and vegetables is...Read more
