Omega Vertical Slow Masticating Juice Extractor - Compact 43 RPM Design with Auto Pulp Ejection, 150-Watt, Silver Review

Works very well and is VERY easy to take apart, clean and reassemble. I'm new to juicing and I love this juicer. The fact that the whole procedure after juicing doesn't take much time is a BIG plus. You have to cut fruit and veg to feed the machine, but that doesn't bother me. The only thing I would wish for is a more funnel shaped attachment/feeder. The tiny little platform makes it a bit of a hassle when you're trying to feed lots of items down the slide all the time. If the flat surface was…

This is my first time using a juicer. I did extensive research to select the product. I also watched videos on using my juicer, specifically the Omega VSJ843R, after making up my mind. The main thing is to alternate soft and hard foods. For example, I put some cabbage, and then a piece of carrot. A few strawberries and then a piece of beetroot. If you alternate, the pulp will keep moving with no problem. I also take a few minutes to chop anything fibrous like celery and chop the veggies into…

After 4 weeks of completely changing my diet and adding a vegetable juice program, I can say that I feel like I'm getting back into my life. 4 years of constant brain fog, fatigue, anxiety have greatly improved. This juicer is very easy to clean after juicing and overall very easy to use. However, most vegetables require preliminary work, as it is best if you cut them into small pieces before adding them. *** The only problem I have is the turmeric root. Never try to extract juice from…

I have been using the Omega VSJ843RS slow juicer for 18 months now, usually 5 days a week. It replaced the discontinued Breville low speed juicer. Both juicers have essentially the same moving parts: an auger, a strainer, a rotating brush, and a juice cup that extracts the juice and pulp. Crate. I juice beets cut into small pieces daily as part of this juice. Beetroot is probably the toughest vegetable that the snail can shred with the filter basket. Lately, even though I'm slowly adding…

I have had no problems with this juicer for over a year. In all that time, I've never squeezed too much juice from celery at once. I don't like the taste of celery juice but figured I'd drink a lot of it as it's considered unhealthy. Healthy tonic for the nervous system. So I juiced 5 or 6 large stalks at once, plus some Italian parsley, tomatoes, and carrots. But mostly celery. Then it happened. The Omega still managed to squeeze it all out, but when I was done, no matter how hard I tried, the

I was so excited when it arrived. I took everything out of the box. I tried separating the parts of the juicer so I could put them in a baking soda bath, but it was almost impossible. I tried calling the company at 1:30am PST but they are closed. And they say to call next business day without specifying hours or time zones. I kept fighting, reading the instructions, and finally, with a titanic effort, I disassembled, washed, and reassembled the parts. I followed the instructions and couldn't…

I've been using the VSJ842RS almost every day since I bought it a few weeks ago. I like it, but there are two downsides to a juicer at this price point. First, it easily sticks to carrots if you don't cut them fine enough, and sometimes there's a little leak. I did a lot of research before purchasing this juicer, so I knew it would stop at carrots. If I only made carrot juice I wouldn't buy it. The pros are that this juicer is good at everything. I make juice from veggies, fruits, and hard…
