Omega J8006 masticating juicer

This excellent masticating juicer built by Omega comes equipped with a very powerful motor that allows the unit to thoroughly chew up plant fibers and fully extract vitamins, enzymes and minerals from fruits and vegetables.

The Omega J8006 features a dual-stage juicing system for maximum efficiency. The low rotation speed motor (80 rpm’s) means that there is no clogging, no foaming and no heat build-up. This unit measures 14-1/2 x 6-1/2 x 15-1/2 inches, it weighs 15 pounds and it has an amazing 15-year warranty.

Some other great features of this Omega masticating juicer are the automatic pulp-ejection function for continuous juicing, the high juice yield with dry pulp, four stabilizing feet and a very quiet operation. The juicer is UL and cUL approved.

Centrifugal juicers tend to be more noisy and they work at much higher speeds than the masticating juicers. A masticating juicer is the better choice when you are juicing green leafy vegetables like parsley, spinach, wheat-grass, cilantro, kale etc.

A centrifugal juicer is nowhere near as efficient as a masticating juicer in this case, especially that they put out a lot of heat that can possibly damage the enzymes in the juice. A masticating juicer does not create the same friction and it needs less vegetables to create more juice.

The power switch on the Omega J8006 is located at the lower back of the juicer and allows the auger to be reversed if something gets jammed in the tube. This Omega auger is patented and it has a two-stage screen for a much greater juice output.

For instance, when you juice 5 medium-sized apples, this masticating juicer produces a full quart of deliciously clear pulp-free juice and the juice does not turn brown as fast as the juice from a centrifugal juicer as there is lower oxidation from the 80-rpm motor.

You will have to spend more time on preparation because the chute is smaller than a chute on a centrifugal juicer. You have to cut the veggies into smaller sizes to fit into the juice. The clean-up is really easy, all the parts can be taken apart and there are no sharp edges so you can just rinse with water and do an overall wipe.

Because of the slow rotation of this masticating juicer (80 rpm), the juice is less oxidized than with the 13,000-rpm centrifugal juicers. It means that the juice retains its taste and vitamins better, and this is important if you are juicing for one or two days at a time.

The Omega J8006 has a smaller chute and all the large carrots, apples and cucumbers have to be sliced. This unit juices everything beautifully, even sweet potatoes, beets, collards, kale or wheat-grass. The pulp is very dry and it collects in a plastic bin for composting or dumping.

A masticating juicer is also more versatile than a centrifugal one. A masticating juicer squeezes the food items you put into it, and this way it can also be used to make baby food, fresh pasta, grind meat and even nut butter. They are also called cold-press juicers or slow juicers.

This Omega masticating juicers is an amazing all-in-one gourmet machine. It is not like most standard juicers, it is actually advertised as a commercial juicer because of its sturdy design. This is a juicer for people that take juicing seriously and are doing a bit more than just having a glass of orange juice in the morning.

A normal juicing machine would produce a few glasses of orange juice out of an entire bag of oranges. It is not the case with the Omega J8006. This machine can make pitchers of juice with the same bag. This is a very important feature if you juice on a daily basis and you are looking for quality.

This excellent masticating juicer does not rely on a strong motor that rotates at very high rpm’s for the blades to squeeze out fluids from plant fibers. This unit relies on a strong motor that rotates at just 80 rpm’s so it can properly squeeze every last drop of juice out of fruits and vegetables. It is like a Diesel engine compared to a gasoline engine.

A single speed means that there is hardly any tweaking and tinkering that you have to do with the juicer and its innovative pulp extractor throws out the waste simultaneously from the side as you push down on the food items. The dual-stage feature means that it can squeeze the fruits of all their nutrients into a clear fluid without any froth or waste of pulp.

This masticating juicer is everything you want in a juicer. This unit has an attractive style with a chrome and black finish that will fit any décor and it does not take up a lot of countertop space. The low speed is one of the biggest factors in making an exceptional tasting glass of juice.
