Kuvings NJE-3580U Masticating juicer is less expensive. Other functing wise, i have never used Omega juicer. I encourge you to do more research on the comparison of Kuvings and Omega juicer.

I replaced by centrifugal juicer with this Omega and I am so glad I did. The Omega is extremely quiet, and wrings every last bit of juice of of your fruits and vegetables. It works very well, and I use it all the time. You can easily clean it by putting the parts in the dishwasher too. I recommend the Omega to everyone.

Great question. I don't know why there is such discrepancy in warranty. When I purchased my Omega VRT 400 it was out of stock at discount juicers so I opted for Amazon. Fabulous juicer, I love it!

The Omega J8006 produces some foam. When I started using it I used a strainer to take off the foam but no longer do that. It juices the entire fruit/veggie. Lemon, apples ( I core my apples but my son does not)... Keep in mind you will need to cut the produce down to fit into the chute. I love my juicer!

As others have mentioned the softer stuff does not juice "as well" as juicers designed for the softer stuff. But they do juice decently. I you are really worried about quantity of juice then a centrifical juicer works slightly better, but the quality is better with this one. Depends if you want quantity over quality or vice versa. This is an excellent juicer.

Since it is a rotary machine, it juices with speed. I use all of those ingredients, but it does take a lot of kale or other leafy greens to make enough. I cram everything that fits through my juicer and it grinds through it with speed and ease. Clean up is a breeze. From my research, the masticating ones are more efficient, but slower and more parts to clean. Neither were acceptable to me, so chose this one and am very happy.

I have an Omega and a Kuving. The thing with the Kuving is that you are paying for the wide mouth and end up having to chop everything up anyway - or the veggies get stuck and the whole thing stops. So why bother paying for an expensive juicer when the Omega works great and both require chopping things up first?

Mostly stainless steel. However on the inside there are some plastic pieces. Not all stainless steel. I don't think you can get any juicer that is fully stainless steel. My omega is plastic and that cost over $200. This is a pretty good juicer I own this one too. I started with the plastic jack lalaine lasted over 5 yrs. I Graduated to this one. So far i had it for over a yr with a lot of usesage almost everyday. Then later I found the omega for a good deal and couldn't let it go. Both are great. Just somewhat different purposes. The jack lalaine is a quick juicer, omega is a slow juicer. Bottom line it's mostly stainless steel with some plastic pieces on the inside.

First of all, Vitamix are way better than Ninjas. Vitamix = super smooth smoothies. Ninjas = chunkie smoothies. Omegas are juicers. Just juice, no pulp or fiber. The Omega J8006 can juice fruit and vegetables and leafy greens and grasses. Best juicer I've ever owned.

I don't have much luck with kale and spinach. I am considering getting an Omega. I have had this machine for about 4 years. Any tips on juicing the greens?

Absolutely, with no difficulty. The only downside is the somewhat small feed tube. A few seconds of preparation (slicing) to fit the tube is all it takes. With my Norwalk, I can feed much larger produce, but the Norwalk is about 10x the cost. The Omega 8006 is much easier and quicker to clean. By the way, with almost all auger-types of cold press juicer, you may find that you will get best results by alternating harder produce (e.g., carrots, beets, etc.), after you have juiced some softer produce, to keep the auger from getting clogged. By alternating soft and hard produce, you can keep on juicing vast quantities of juice without having to stop and manually clean out any clogs in the auger tube. Absolutely, with no difficulty.

I want to add to my previous comment by saying my juicer with the red feet is the original model- I have had it for decades; it still works great. Sounds like the switch in manufacturers has altered the new model for the worse. Too bad.

I have the 8008 and I love it I use it for both wheTgrass and juicing.It is very easy to cleanI think the 8007 and 8008 mods are very similar because they use the same parts

Hi- This is a masticating juicer. I have one and I also have Omega VRT. If I had to choose one I would take the Champion.

I do not own the 8006. I did buy the NC800 HDS and I am very satisfied with its operation and results. An excellent juicer.

Not terribly bad. I have an Acme juicer (heavy duty) http://www.amazon.com/6001-Juicerator-550-Watt-Extractor-Stainless/dp/B0028RXDFM/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1400894810&sr=1-1&keywords=acme+juicer on my farm and it leaves REALLY dry pulp....BUT....it's more of a hassle to clean. It's an okay juicer. You may also want to check out the Champion juicer http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Commercial-Juicer-in-Black/dp/B000E4C53M which has the ability to run frozen fruit through it for sorbet-like frozen goodies. Heavy duty! At the price point the Breville XL is a decent juicer that is well made, sturdy, and does the job. I am a value shopper so I chose the version with the stainless juicing piece as well as the stainless spigot. I don't trust plastic much in the long run....... The Breville is a nice machine, well designed, heavy grade stainless and produces a good juice with some moisture left in the pulp. Good luck!
