Omega Juicers 8005

It took a few months of research but I finally bought a juicer and opted for this one based on my research. It seems the consensus is that masticating juicers are the best in terms of securing the nutritional value of your juice.

The juicer is extremely easy to setup and clean. I'm a bit neurotic in terms of cleaning my juicer but most normal people could probably disassemble, clean and reassemble the juicer in 5 minutes.

It juices extremely well, I was surprised at how much juice it produces and how dry the pulp is. Some veggies produce wet pulp but putting the pulp back through the juicer solves that problem.

It juices leafy veggies extremely well; I don't use it for fruit so can't comment on that. It also juices carrots far better than I could have imagined.

I was disappointed with the way it juices tomatoes. It seems to mush them into a pulp and that pulp kind of makes it through as juice. If you use the screen to prevent froth from entering your juice then it ends up gumming up the strainer preventing juice from getting through.

I also read that masticating juicers are supposed to produce less heat than centrifugal juicer but have definitely noticed that the pulp and juice is noticeably warming than when I put it in.

The cons are far outweighed by the volume, flavour and quality of juice that is produced.
