Did you know that live enzymes found in veggies and fruits are quite beneficial to the proper function of the body?
Juicers have been through a revolution, from back in the day when they only made bulky, commercial types, to the present day when aesthetics play an important role in each release. We look into a company that has been in the market for the long haul and one that seems to keenly follow the trends and respond through new generations of releases. If you have owned a juicer from Omega for years, you will be interested in the features they have on their new generation juicers. If you are new to this trend, we are bringing you up to speed with this review.
Omega Juicer Reviews
1. Omega J8006 Nutrition Juicer
As is the norm with Omega juicers, the Omega J8006 model has a glossy exterior that could have you fooled of its capabilities to take a fall. It is made of durable material and has the horizontal auger placement.
It takes a bit of space on the counter, but it makes up for that with its elegant design. The detachable parts are quite easy to clean, and they are dishwasher safe for when you need a thorough cleaning.
It is a masticating juicer, so it has the cold-press quality that makes you gladly spend more money on it without feeling the pinch.
You have to admit that they took their time creating this baby. It appeals to the eye, and its glossy black and chrome exterior makes any kitchen look classy. It may have a large footprint, but when you find a permanent spot for it on your counter, you will not have to worry about space. Think of it as your motivation to juice every morning.
The motor is slightly powerful but silent enough to allow you to work in peace without causing chaos in the entire household.
The motor’s rotation rate, 80rpm is ideal for the retention of nutrients. At 80rpm, the live enzymes and sensitive vitamins that fruits and leafy vegetables contain will not degrade. The juicer does not overheat at that point, either, and so you can make large batches to consume later because the value of your juice will not be compromised.

Pros
- Great design
- Powerful motor
- Not noisy
Cons
- Need to chop your ingredients into manageable pieces to fit into the feeding tube
2. Omega J8004 Nutrition Masticating Juicer
The Omega J8004 Juicer stands boldly, white and majestic on your counter. It only weighs 18 pounds, so you may need to place it at a corner where you will not have the need to move it much.
This juicer complements any surface with its shine and gloss. Do not let the delicate exterior fool you. The manufacturer has used only the strongest material to make it.
It is multifunctional, works at a slow but sure pace and allows you to keep juicing for as long as 30 minutes.
Apart from juicing, the Omega J8004 it also great for grinding coffee beans and spices, making baby food, making nut butter that is healthier than what they have in stores, and extruding pasta. For the price of a juicer, you get yourself a food processor too.
The motor rotates at 80rpm to give you the highest quality of juice. You can feel the difference through the taste, which will not change for another 72 hours. You do not have to make juice several times a day to enjoy flavor and quality.
Because it does not overheat, this juicer does well with leafy vegetables and wheatgrass. These two categories of ingredients are heat-sensitive, so a rotation of 100rpm and higher would not do well with them.
Pros
- Include several nozzles for various activities
- Easy to disassemble and clean
- Does well with leafy vegetables and wheatgrass
Cons
- Need to chop your ingredients into manageable pieces to fit into the feeding tube
3. Omega NC900HDC 6th Generation Juicer
After several productions and tough lessons, Omega brings you this 6th Generation juicer that is an improved version of those before it.
All the concerns of the previous one addressed, high quality of juice and other products (yes, it is multifunctional), and an unbeatable design. This juicer is chrome and maintains its shine for the rest of its useful life. The manufacturer throws in an attractive 15-year warranty on this piece.
At a motor rotation of 80rpm, you can expect to reap the full benefits of juicing fruits, both soft and hard vegetables, and wheatgrass. Fans of edible grasses know that they are hard to extract given their delicate nature. This juicer will make you the healthiest glass of juice, uncompromised by heat and oxidation.
Pros
- Include several nozzles for various activities
- Easy to disassemble and clean
- Does well with leafy vegetables and wheatgrass
Cons
- Take up a lot of space due to its width
4. Omega VRT350 Low-Speed Juicer
The Omega VRT350 Juicer has a vertical auger placement. You know what that means, don’t you? A smaller footprint. If you are worried about space (which is the common concern for people with horizontal juicers), this juicer will address those concerns.
The only concern would be its height, which any countertop can handle. It weighs enough to keep it grounded on the top as you work, but I believe juicers should be allocated their permanent place.
If your plan is to start your day bright and early with a shot of goodness, then you need it there, staring back at you as a reminder.
Pros
- Only occupies a small space on your counter top
- Not noisy
- Ideal for making large batch of juice at a go
Cons
- Strainer picks up a lot of pulp and takes long to clean
5. Omega NC800 HDS 5th Generation Juicer
Every new generation of juicers that comes after the previous has the upper hand. It is always an improvement over the previous model. It means the manufacturer took the time to address your concerns and rectified them when they created the next big thing.
The Omega NC800 HDS model borrowed from the 4th generation in its category and cleaned up real nice to get you the sort of machine that will be worth your money.
Masticating? Yes, because you deserve the highest quality nutrients in your body if you are going to go to the trouble of making a glass of juice each morning.
Pros
- Juicer does not overheat
- Extract the highest quality with live enzymes and sensitive vitamins
- Safety measure to prevent your hands from entering in the juicer during operation
Cons
- Ejection spout clogs if you do not chop up your ingredients
6. Omega J8005 Nutrition Center Masticating Juicer
This chrome and black mean machine from Omega looks like it is designed to one thing alone: to transform you into a healthier you.
We do not consume enough leafy vegetables, and we do not eat all the fruit servings we should on a daily basis. This is why juicing presents a better option for those who are keen on transforming their bodies.
Not every glass of fresh juice is equal, though. Only the kind that is made using the highest quality of juicers will give you all the benefits of juicing.
Pros
- Protective feeding chute that prevents you from inserting your hands as you feed the juicer your ingredients
- Does not overheat or allow in oxygen
- Auger is made of sturdy material for thorough extraction
Cons
- Ejection spout clogs if you do not chop up your ingredients
7. Omega VRT330 Dual-Stage Low-Speed Juicer
Most of us start juicing to reap the benefits of fruits and vegetables that we would otherwise neglect. If you are going to go to the trouble of juicing every day, you should get the most from your ingredients.
What if you can hardly afford to invest in the kind of juicer that will give you the highest quality output?
We all know that masticating juicers are quite high-end, but Omega VRT330 Dual-Stage Low-Speed Juicer solves the dilemma for those who are serious about getting into this habit but on a limited budget.
Pros
- Get the high quality of nutrients
- Motor is quiet
- Chute wide enough to allow you to place large chunks of produce in
Cons
- Ejection spout has a hard time ejecting the fiber
8. Omega Chrome Masticating Juicer J8008
When you set out to spend your hard-earned cash on the best juicer, there are a few things you should look into. Ensure that the juicer is the best there is for the money, that the manufacturer has a reasonable warranty period for it, and that you can actually afford it.
This juicer is one of the best of the masticating kind from Omega. As though to stamp authority on this fact, the company has given it the longest warranty period on parts and motor; 15 years.
Pros
- Elegant design with a chrome and black finish to upgrade your kitchen
- Auger is made of stainless steel to endure the crushing and grinding
- Motor does not heat at slow pace, and so your juice retains its nutrients and flavors
Cons
- Quite pricey and takes up more space than the vertical kind
9. Omega VERT Slow Juicer VSJ843QS
The difference between juicers and blenders is primarily the outcome. A juicer gives you juice that is devoid of pulp, while blenders take in the whole fruit or vegetable.
Additionally, when you juice using a cold-press machine, your ingredients are subjected to minimal or no heat; hence the ingredients retain their nutritional value. All live enzymes and sensitive vitamins stay intact.
Omega VERT Slow Juicer (VSJ843QS) is one of its kind, squeezing all the juice in your produce without hurting their value and yielding highly while at it.
Pros
- Makes your kitchen look beautiful with its futuristic design and beautiful exterior
- Live enzymes in juice will be retained with low rotation rate
- Can extract as much juice as possible from your vegetables and fruits
Cons
- Not auto-feed, so you have to push your food through using a pusher
10. Omega BMJ330 Commercial 350 Watt Stainless Steel Pulp Ejection Juicer
Centrifugal juicers; we know them for their speed. While it is true that they do not produce the same level of quality as their masticating counterparts, the serve a share of the market that wants to get into juicing but without the ability to make a substantial financial investment.
The Omega BMJ330 Commercial Juicer is a decent juicer that you can use on the commercial front; thanks to its capacity to make tons of juice in record time. This particular one comes with a 10-year unlimited warranty.
Pros
- Cutting and slicing the ingredients in the shortest time possible
- Large chute to save you prepping time
- Large pulp collection tank with an enormous capacity to allow you to keep juicing without stopping to empty
Cons
- high-powered motor makes too much noise
- Vital nutrients are lost in the heat that emanates from the machine owing to its speed of operation
Recommendation
Omega renovates now and then to keep up with the market. The company listens to its clientele then retreats to come up with an even better version of their existing products. While we love their juicers, our first and second choices are Omega J8006 Nutrition Juicer and Omega VRT350 Single Auger Juicer for function and aesthetics. Yea, we like our kitchen looking a certain type of way even as we embark on healthier choices. We hope that this review makes your choice easier. Cheers to your health!
