I had Omega VRT350 and it had a rubber piece that squeezes the pulp before ejection. Some inexpensive juicers dont have them? Does this have that too?

No it does not squeeze the pulp, but generally speaking the pulp is rather dry when exiting the shoot.

There is a drive rod (hexagon shaped) that fits into a hole on the left had side which turns the rollers. Juices stay on the rollers and never touch the drive rod or mechanism. They just lift out for easy cleaning.

It comes with a strainer that you use after juicing. It gets rid of all the pulp so the juice is smooth.

Hey Meghan,some of the pulp goes into the top but not much. I do not stop and clean while I am juicing I have emptied the external collector and just continued with the juicing process..I only clean up when I am done juicing for the week.Sherrie

Yes and Yes. This is not a secret. It's a well known fact that this juicer ejects pulps into the juice (just google it). What's not clear and hard to define is the amount and the size of pulps because it depends on the greens. Also, the personal tolerance or preference to pulps is different. Some people claim that they like the pulps in their juices but that's kind of absurd. One of the important reasons that we make juices over blending is that it's pulp free, fiber free, and easily drinkable so that the body can absorb nutritions faster. I'd tell people that to make blending instead if they like pulps, which I do in the morning to get extra fibers. To make comparisons to other juicers that I have used, Breville and Omeage 8006 do not eject any pulps to the juice. If I may add, nothing tastes better than smooth, silky, fresh, delicious juices!

All the solid matter is ejected out the side from my experience. However, I've only been using the fine juicing basket. The coarse basket looks like it might allow some pulp to get through.

My neighbor had the 8006 which is why I looked at Omegas in the first place. I borrowed it and ultimately decided to get a centrifugal style juicer because of two shortcomings: clogging, difficulty with soft veggies and fruits, and the small strips you had to reduce your veggies into in order to fit them through the feed chute. So when this model came out, addressing those limitations, I purchased it without hesitation and have no regrets. Absolutely worth the higher price.

there is a circular thing with holes in it that keeps in pulp while letting juice go to spout. Pulp never gets to spout.

Once you have juiced, the pulp will be in the strainer as noted but all you do is lift it out and take as much pulp as you want. The strainer is one of the parts that must be removed and washed when you are finished juicing. Maybe Pixel has another juicer that looks like the Alessi.

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.

Should not be . Call on omega customer care number and speak with them. Your juicer has 10 ur warranty. They will fix your problem. For free. They replace one broken part in my juicer.

I'm not sure, I returned it because it wasn't a very good juicer. I did however get an Omega and it is fantastic.

Yes, i always use a metal mesh strainer before i drink it or before i put in mason jar for storage. This type of juicer juices faster, but also puts out more pulp.

Yes, this model has two gears that are made of metal and a hard plastic-like material. The material being juiced is crushed by the metal part of the gears with the plastic-like part pushing the pulp through a metal screen through which the juice is separated.

Yes. I have in the past. This is my first juicer though. Pleased with it but not very aware of other products.

Yes, there is pulp. If you wish to have less pulp, there is a strainer included with the machine that you can use after juicing. Since the machine does not "chop" the things you juice, the waste pulp can be rather dry and stringy (especially leafy greens), so if you want to add it back in, you may need to mince it up a bit.

Sunny: Here is my thinking on the top squeezer. It will make pressing down easier, but is not as efficient as the hand in juice extraction. The top can only press downward and does not accommodate all sizes of oranges and grapefruits. The hand will squeeze and ocilate, making it more efficient in extracting all the juice. If you get the top, please let me know if you find my thinking to bre true.Thanks,Ian
