3.0 out of 5 stars good juicer for a great price, June 7, 2009

The Omega 9000 juicer is a good juicer.

I've had an Acme 6001 for years and it has served me well. When it was time for a new juicer, I bought the Breville since it was such a "hot item".

Big mistake! Unless you want it to "keep up with the Joneses" and think having a big shiny juicer in your kitchen is more about prestige and less about health, then the Breville is for you.

Back to the Omega. The Omega 9000 makes pulp feel like a shirt. It's pretty dry.

Big up to Amazon & HealthNut for it's speedy pick up of the Breville and quick delivery of the Omega (2 days), which is actually well-designed and has good yield.

Now for the cons: carrot residue sticks to the bottom and along the periphery of the basket which goes inside the bowl. It took me a long time to scrub off. Maybe a filter will help, but I never had that problem with the Acme and it was built many moons ago in the 90's. If it wasn't for that design flaw, I'd give it another star.

One last thing. Make sure you process the fruit & vegetables in the right order. For some reason, if you put, say, cucumber and parsley first, before the carrot, the juicer will flip out and do a dance on the counter. I experienced this w/ the Acme as well. So go slow at first & read the tips about what to process first & how.

Cheers.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS THE ONE, May 25, 2009

This review is from: Omega 9000 Juicer (Kitchen)

I'm amazed that there aren't hundreds of five-star reviews for this item. I shopped for a juicer for MONTHS, literally. After painstaking research - including reading dozens of reviews like this one, and looking at Consumer Reports - I finally decided on the Omega 9000. I wanted the model in black, but shopped at several different websites and couldn't find a black one. So I settled for the white model. That's the only negative comment I can make about the entire transaction. Not only is the juicer easy to use and compact (despite what another Amazon reviewer says, it's much smaller than comparable machines), it's also backed with a 15-year warranty and excellent service. I had a question in my first week of using the Omega and called the number on the instruction booklet: no recorded message, just a friendly, helpful person. As far as the actual operation/performance of the machine, I couldn't be happier. All stainless steel, it's beautiful and sturdy, and built to last that way. A centrifugal machine, it definitely gets all the juice out of the fruits and vegetables. And with the filters (a great value) clean-up takes less than five minutes. Stop looking. This is the one you want. You'll enjoy fresh juice for (at least) the next fifteen years...

5.0 out of 5 stars Filters are the answer, August 5, 2010

This review is from: Omega 9000 Juicer (Kitchen)

This is a great juicer and will last forever. I bought mine about 15 years ago. This is a work horse. I have found filters do the trick. Similar to the Acme but at this point from my research initially and now from experience has better parts. I have replaced the cutting blade once which is good idea to do.....replaced after about 8 years of use...about 20 dollars.
In the beginning I thought filters would somehow diminish the juice in some way and didn't want to buy an extra item. Omega puts out some unbleached (200 pack) for about 12 bucks. It doesn't filter out anything (perhaps a little pulp and therefor thinner in texture) but makes it so all residue is put together in one clump.I have also read that the soft stuff with more water like citrus, cucumber, tomato etc. can get imbalanced in the basket and is not recommended if using the filters. The most efficient use for this type of juicer is the harder stuff. I use cukes and other watery veggies but even out things by putting the harder stuff first, and by cutting the softer in smaller slivers and feed slowly with harder stuff in-between. This helps but you may get some vibration. Keep in mind though this is not the type for leafy greens. Parsley, spinach etc. is okay but if you you want wheat grass, or to get the most out of spinach and other leafy types the "champion" type is the way to go. Then you look back at this one and clean up seems like a breeze! From time to time though for what ever reason you will get some thing that imbalances things and then I shut it off and take out the stuff with the filter and put in another one. If you don't have an attitude about it, it takes less than a minute and then onward. From my experience this is the norm from time to time and filters help in all this. But most of the time there is no problem...just don't rush things or over load it and things should be fine. Every machine takes a bit of use to get to know it.
Another thing: A lot of talk about all that pulp going to waste...(put it in your compost or there are recipes that use it). Juicing is for specific goals in healing therefor to work right needs the fiber out of the way. It should not be gulped but respected.

To sum up: For a centrifugal type juicer I don't think there is a better one out there. When you compare though, this should at least be in the line up. 2 stars really does not give this model an accurate view. The quality on the 9000 is amazing. It is based on the 1000 which is more expensive with a plastic top rather than this metal one. And the 9000 has a 15 year guarantee!
I have used some that slow the motor if putting in a carrot. With a good blade (this one really does last for years)a carrot whispers through. 1/3 horse power? I have never had a problem thinking that it was too weak.
