Is there anyone who purchased this product the (Victorio ) that wishes they had upgrade to the Norpro Stainless Steamer, Juicer instead?

I used the Victorio Stainless Steamer a few times last fall and was quite happy with it. It was great making clear juice from our grapes to make jelly! I believe it will get lots of use this summer. Have no idea about the Norpro.

I am happy with the Victorio, I only use this a few times a year so I might not be the best judge

My mother purchased this product (Victorio) and it seemed to work well for her. She didn't seem to think it was cheaply made or difficult to use and it got the job done :)

no - satisfied with the victorio . . .have used it to extract juice from our apples and grapes, if anything I have found some of the Norpro products to be less than satisfactory - the are carried by a local vendor here and don't seem to hold up as well as other brands I have purchased.

I bought a Chefs Star Juicer, only three times, the last run only three minutes to stop moving, and now it has not been able to use, I suspect it is not good quality, perhaps my bad luck?

You know... at the end of the day... I use the steamer for about 20 minutes at a time. All can goods now have BPA in them and they sit in them for weeks if not months. I think the 18 mins it takes to steam salmon and veggies isn't near what it would be in can. And keep in mind that BPA isn't toxic, the complications come from the fact that it mimics estrogen. I'm happy with my steamer, because it has really turned me on to steaming... will I move to stainless steel... more than likely, but this little bugger is a great starting point.

Run the juicer a bit longer...there will always be a bit of moisture in the pulp. Unless you want to go with the $1500 models on the market you can't avoid it.

I can only speak from my experience from the Tribest product. It would have trouble juicing anything hard like carrots, beets, etc. It would continually stop. I would have to clean it out every few minutes. It was not worth the effort. I never owned the Omega product. I can not recommend the Tribest piece of junk.

Same here. I don't think this machine is as good as it used to be. I wish I could help. I'm really disappointed with this purchase.

I just sold my new (4 Month old) Omega 8004; I also sold my Omega VERT 350. I will not experiment with anymore juicers, as IMO, there is no better juicer on the market than a Champion!

Yes, it worked very well on mine! The only drawback I saw to it was the Finnish to English translation was a bit off and it there were some confusing directions. But, I love it. I made tons of crab apple juice with it for jelly. I filled the water bath/stock pot (bottom portion) almost to the top with water and let it come to a boil. I then left it on high to medium high and the juice just kept coming! I set a bowl on a chair by my stove and just let the juice run into it. I also poured the first batch of juice back into the fruit, as the book recommends, to break up the fruit a bit. I love my steamer! Made beautiful thick concentrated clear juice. Any other questions, just ask!

I love mine.use it all the time from making jelly, tomato juice, even like a ricer for smooth mashed potatoes. Definitely not smooth.

did you ever get your steamer to work. I have to keep hitting the reset button. It only last a couple of minutes and the steam quits again. Someone said I may need a new thermostat. Just wondering if you found a fix or tossed it!

Maestro: The plastic model works well, But for the few extra $'s (10.00) I would get the stainless if I had to do it again. DO NOT put the plastic version in the dishwasher. If you take it apart and do this it will loose its shape.

I was excited when I purchased my Omega BMJ330 before Christmas in 2014.......then the motor burned out this week. Thank goodness I still have my nutri bullet for smoothies. Before this juicer I had had a Juiceman Jr. Juicer for 10 years using it quite often. The motor had been grinding and that's the reason for my new purchase. Won't be buying another BMJ330 and don't know if I'll ever buy and Omega again. Loved the stainless steel though. It juiced pretty good for a couple months. If I were you I would keep looking or don't spend alot for one. I bought mine from Amazon for 65.00. which was a deal.....not again.

I have both and I absolutely love both. If you are wanting more vegetable drinks I would go with the juicer. Veggie drinks blended up in a vitamix just look yucky.

I don't remember because I returned the juicer after 2 uses. It's no where near as good a product as the Omega J8003 I did have nor the Omega J8004 that I replaced the VRT with. Too much pulp in the juice, too much foam, too much money for a less than acceptable juicer. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

Have not used the steamer yet. Don't know. Maybe you can contact Aroma customer service.

I just contacted Victorio Kitchen Products @1-866-257-4741 and they advised that these are NOT interchangeable. You might give them a call to see what you can use. OK ThanksSharon
