Product Description
Features & Specifications The Omega 8005 Nutrition Center Juicer is quick, efficient and affordable compared to most! The Omega Juicer Model 8005 provides an easy solution for multi-purpose functions not just limited to juicing. It is easy to clean, carries a lengthy 10-Year Warranty and comes in at a decent price for all the functions it can accomplish. The Omega name has been around for more than 30 years and continues to produce a high quality machine. The Omega 8005 Juicer replaces the older Omega 8001 and 8002 models. Low revolution auger speed The Omega Juicer 8005 has a slow turning 80 RPM auger which preserves nutrients longer than high revolution juicers. While some people may be concerned that this means it juices very slowly the speed difference is not all that noticeable. The extra time is well spent in preserving all of the nutrients in the juice and creating a much better tasting juice too! Quality While the price tag may seem high - consider the fact that this juicer has a 10-Year Warranty. We have clients who have had their juicer (older models) for 10-20 years without having any problems. All of the parts on this machine are built to last with no loose ends (they fit together solidly!) Functions: Vegetable juicer! - Kale, beets, wheatgrass, spinach, yams, leafy greens, pine needles, arrowroots, carrots, peppers, radishes and more Fruit juicer! - Apples, pears, peaches, carrots, oranges, grapes, kiwi, melon, tomatoes, and more. Does an excellent job on both hard and soft fruits. Meat / Fish Mincer - Mince and chop just about anything! Seasonings

 Quality Product September 13, 2008

I have had this unit only a short time, but I am very pleased with it. I seems to be of good quality, is easy to clean, and is an attractive design. I think that it is worth the $253.00 it cost.
Not for the first time Juicer September 12, 2008

If you are a first time juicer go get the The Fountain Elite and you will be happy with it. But hey, if you have a little time to spend, and actually want to make the best juice, then this is the machine for you. You have to cut your veggies and fruits into pieces, perhaps you can't get more than 5 glasses of juice without going through a cleaning cycle, but if you are willing to take that time sacrifice get this unit. It's solid, it works well with all leafs and it spits out carrots that taste like cardboards.
I have had this machine for 3 days, and I am enjoying it.
I would have given it a five star if I didn't have to cut the veggies and fruits in to such small pieces.
I like it... March 6, 2008

I bought this juicer mainly for juicing wheatgrass - and am happy with it - the only thing is that I find I have to run the wheatgrass pulp through about two more times before the juice is completely extracted - and for veggies you have to cut them up pretty small. I don't know if this is 'normal' for good juicers as I have nothing really to compare it to -other than an old (cheaper model)Juiceman from about 15 years ago..and the Omega is a lot better than that, of course.. It looks good and is pretty easy to clean.

I don't know why people complain about cutting up the fruit. It barely takes any time to do so, and the juice from this juicer is the best I've had - and I've tried a couple of other juicers before this, one of them being the Juiceman.
First of all, although there are a few parts to clean, they rinse right off - no fuss. The screen is easy to brush, unlike most other juicers where you're stuck cleaning them for 5-10 minutes because they're so huge and the juicer didn't do its job right.
I am now addicted and juice every day - something I never did with my last juicer. You might find some juicers where you can drop in a whole fruit but those ones tend to have higher RPMs and therefore run hotter - starting to kill enzymes and nutrients in the juice. And of course, they will also take longer to clean.
If you'd rather take a little more time to chop instead of cleaning and want the most out of your juice then this is the best choice hands down.
Makes juice just like the juice bar at the health food store and VERY EASY TO CLEAN! January 14, 2008

I wanted to buy this juicer but after reading some of the negative reviews, I almost changed my mind and bought something different which would have cost me way more money. I am sooooo glad that I didn't because I LOVE THIS JUICER!
My father bought a less expensive juicer a few years back. After only using the thing a few times when he first bought it, he stopped using it because the clean up was so time consuming. The juicer ended up just taking up space on his shelf. Later, I started getting interested in healthy foods and so he gave the thing to me. I was so excited to start but found that cleaning the thing took sooo long that it wasn't worth it. It was depressing from day one and so I sold it at a garage sale.
A few years later, I thought I would give it another try so I bought a different model juicer. I guess I forgot how long cleaning took so the same thing happened. I found myself always standing over the kitchen sink with a little scrubber trying to get all of those tiny little fibers from food out of the straining screen which was very tiring. Also, shortly after purchasing that juicer, I learned about the value of juicing green leafy vegetables. I tried juicing them but they just sat on the bottom of the screen and clogged up the juicer.
Now again, a few years later I thought I would give it one more shot. They say that the 3rd time is a charm and they are right! This time I thought I would do it right and spend a little more money. You get what you pay for right? When I read on Mercola.com that Dr. Mercola recommended this juicer I knew I had found what I was looking for. Still, I thought I would read the reviews on Amazon.com to see what other people thought of the juicer.
I was a little hesitant and wondered if I should buy it because of some of the negative reviews about the small feeding tube and it being time consuming. My mom had already bought one and loved it so I took a chance and bought it anyway.
I can't say enough about this juicer! It is amazing! Yes, it has a smaller feeding tube but you can put celery and regular sized carrots in easily. Things bigger such as apples need to be cut into smaller pieces but big deal!
My 7 and 9 year old kids love helping make their green lemonade because it is fun to watch. They didn't like the juice from the other juicers because it was too pulpy for them but THEY LOVE DRINKING THIS JUICE! This comes out with VERY LITTLE PULP just like the juice bar at the health food stores. You can juice green leafy veggies such as cilantro, spinach, kale which are all sooo very good for you!
The clean up is simple and easy!!! From my experience if it isn't easy to clean you won't be doing much juicing. The straining screen is itty bitty. Maybe a kiwi cut in half would be about how big the screen is compared to a cantalope which was the size of my last one. EASY TO CLEAN MEANS HEALTHY, FRESH, GREEN VEGETABLE JUICES FOR EACH ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS EVERY DAY!
A good recipe my kids love is this:
1 head romaine lettuce or celery
5 to 6 stalks kale (any type)
1 to 2 apples (as needed for sweetness - organic Fuji recommended)
1 whole organic lemon (you don't have to peel it)
1 to 2 tbsp fresh ginger (optional)
