9 Tips For Juicers

Omega J8006

The
J8006 is popular thanks to its super low-speed motor, Higher torque system, and
versatile attachment set. It is our favorite all-purpose masticating juicer from
Omega.
Pros:

Hassle from assembly and takedown. In addition, it is easy to clean after you're done.
The plastic parts rinse clean, while the pulp screen comes with a brush for
scrubbing out the holes.


Thanks to the slow speed and minimized oxidation, juice from the J8006 can last
up to 72 hours without degradation! Most juice from centrifugal machines starts

chopping. The homogenizer attachment lets you make nut butters, pastes, and
Baby foods, with a particular grinder head for coffee and spices.
The J8006-also has a few smart upgrades over the previous model (J8005). It has a
Bigger juice bowl, a bigger pulp bin, a built-in handle, and a cover over the base of
the machine.
The J8006 is covered by a 15-year warranty. That wallops any competition from

chunks through any masticating juicer. However, some previous buyers said the
chute was smaller than other models they had used.
Reviewers had mixed experiences with Omega customer support. They said that in
the case that they needed replacement parts, they found that these were often
backordered.
It's not the best choice for wheatgrass. Reviewers said that wheatgrass caused
