Why am I buying from your site? There is no additional discount I can get the same from Amazon. I was hoping to get a discount from your site cuz you call yours discount juicers.
Anthonia Farfalli ig you choose to buy from his site your supporting his store and not only that but your helping him be able to have the time to be able to create videos like this, more purchases they his account while eventually educate us more about juicing since we can all learn method for juicing more efficiently from his other videos...
*I'm INLOVE with this machine replaced my infants eating processed baby food to boosting **MyBest.Kitchen** her immune system with super fruit and veggies. Supper easy to clean!*
If you dont like my long videos, where I show IN DETAIL why each juicer is different.. In the end, I declare the VSJ843 is better for my needs. Watch the video to learn why.
I bought my VSJ843 before discovering your channel. Imagine how delighted I was to know that I have one of the best juicers on the market after subscribing to your channel.
You should have showed and compared how dry the pulp was on both machines also. And you can dehydrate the pulp to make chips or put in your baking dishes. Thank you for this video information I watch the video on TH-cam, fat sick and nearly dead. So I wanted to find out what actually was the best cold-pressed juicer for the price and the micronutrients, so thank you for this video and all the other ones do.
I owned the Omega VSJ843 and I bought the Nama. My impressions: the prep time to juice in the Nama is outrageously long. The Omega juices faster, and handles much larger pieces of fruit and vegetables. The thing I dislike about the Omega is it is WAY harder to clean than the Nama. I need tweezers. I can clean the entire Nama in under 2 minutes. The Omega takes 5-6 because it holds on to fibers. Recently the Nama has been locking up, making disassembly difficult to impossible. There are finally videos available that show how to make release the parts when it locks up. Juice quality? About the same. Warranty? A joke. And the feed chute is so small, it's a pain in the ass to have to cut things into small pieces in order to feed them into the auger. Conclusion? I'm with you. The Nama is hyped by a lot of people who have never owned a decent juicer, but the Omega is a better machine.
@@hazelgriffith4515 I think John and I agree that a number of juicers are better than the Nama. If you can afford it, the Sana 727 is the best juicer I have EVER used. Right now it is $100 off in black.
With the Omega you put the lettuce leaf down first and with the Nama you put the lettuce stalk down first. Could that have made a difference in the time and oxidation? I have a Nama and my only complaint so far is that the shoot is too small thus taking more time but I have never experienced the level of oxidation that was in this video. They both seem to be great machines. Thank you for your demonstration.
I got BOTH juicers. John is right! The Omega VSJ is less hassle, easier to clean, larger fed chute, loner warranty, faster to use, and to me does a better job at not oxidizing green produce. However, I would say that Nama does have more torque and juices hard produce like carrots, beets, etc better. Hope that helps with your choice. To me , the nod goes to the Omega VSJ. You choose.
@@anitacarrington Good morning 🌞 Anita. Originally I was in the market to buy a juicer. I saw some videos on TH-cam and then I decided to get the Nama. After watching John's video, I decided to get the Omega vsj and comparative to. I decided to keep both. It's good to have a backup anyway. I had a issue with the vsj and had to wait for a part. In the meantime, I was still able to use the Nama 😊 Which one you got?
@@ultarivera2813 good morning. Good idea to have both. But, they are for home use not commercial use. Youre going to have to in between juices to clean them which does not take long. Should be ok.
@@cedrickanderson453 thank u for replying. Maybe I can run each for 30 minutes per hour, Don't know. But I can't wait for them to arrive. I keep u posted.
My Nama arrived yesterday. I read the instructions last night, and I'm ready to use it for the first time today. I have decided to buy the Nama, way above my budget, because I am just tired of buying juicers that just make me waste money on the juicer itself aaaand the ingredients. I will not name all the ones I bought, but i even went as high as $219.00, and was still disappointed. So, after lengthy researches by me and my children, we narrowed down the Nama and the Omega. We really were stuck between the 2, but went with the Nama. So I will update after a week how my Nama holds up to its name.
@@healthybalancedjess2178 actually, Yes! I have to say, so far, I am not disappointed. I love my juicer. It is everything they say it is. It is a beautiful machine. It juices very well. I would have loved for the pulp to be a little dryer, but it is ok for the amount of juice I get. I do not throw the pulp away. I make meatloaf, meatballs, burgers with the veggie pulps and something sweet with the fruits. No juicer is gonna be 100% perfect, but I would recommend the Nama cause I feel it's the closest.
I have been waiting for this particular video! Thank you. I bought the omega based off of my research and you showing me which juicer best for my specifics needs. I am grateful for your videos and honesty.
@@TheIntrovert83hi there my name is Mohammed. Honestly, I received it and unboxed it but haven’t tried it yet. Give me your WhatsApp or Snapchat and I will give you an update & direct review
It was a fair (and enjoyable) comparison up until 1:09:10 when you started forcing the romaine in butt-first. You fed it in leaf-first on the other brand and you even mentioned why you fed it in leaf-first. Inconsistencies like this make it "appear" as though you are purposely trying to fudge the numbers.
I noticed that too. plus he said the omega brand too 4 mins when it was actually over 5 minutes. the Nama was longer but why make it seem like it was so much longer also the oxidation talk made it seem like that's the only horrible thing he could point out so he kept bringing it up.
From my experience with juicers, the centrifigul juicers started out with small chutes and became easier to juice with larger chutes. I also noticed after making a point how to feed lettuce that you didn't feed the same way. Otherwise a decent presentation
I'm so happy to see this guy again. lmao. he stopped posting on his main channel. That or i didn't hit the bell. Love how honest and passionate John is. The difference in color is remarkable... VSJ by far.
I have to agree with almost everything he said. I just bought the Nama and I am VERY disappointed. It jams all the time. I even cut the produce smaller to try to avoid it. The foam is way too much. Juicing greens was a nightmare. It just clogged and got stuck around the auger. Some of the juices had big chunks. And the machine is pretty difficult to clean. I've had it a little over a week. I'm going to give it another shot before I send it back.
Yeah, thanks...sorry you had such a bad experience with it. I’ve seen about 98% positive views on Instagram and was preparing to click that purchase button, but decided to watch a review video first.
@@deejay8403 most people that do personal reviews tend to be bias because they don’t want to admit they bought a dud LOL. That’s why I love this channel. He has no reason to be bias, he has every juicer you can think of.
Hello Trenita, I'm so sorry to hear you had a bad experience with our juicer. Would it be possible to share some of them with us via support@namawell.com so we can potentially assist you through so of them? There's a lot of tips and tricks that you can do to prevent all of the above from happening! Make sure to read the manual carefully and review all of our videos on our website. - Nama Team :)
Omega has been in the market longer and have the history to back their product. I’m glad I did some more research before jumping on the Nama bandwagon.
Amazing review - probably the most thorough I’ve seen AND it’s nice to have a non-sponsored review when everything else is the same syntax from people “in the Nama family”
A couple things that I didn't see were that no pulp comparison to see which was the driest and could it been that the darker Nama juice was because it got more of the nutrients out of the lettuce 🥬 than the vsj843. Me personally I don't care about the time difference or smaller chute. Im looking for the most nutrient dense juice!
I decided on the omega vsj843 because of the 15 year warranty! 20% off and overnight shipping for $410. It beat your price by over $260 dollars for the same item and overnight shipping!!
Actually, that is not true. You can tell he loves the Omega over the Nama....plus if you look at his website, most of the juicers being sold are Omega machines. Still, I noticed, he put the lettuce leaf side in the Omega but opposite way in the Nama. The color, I agree... I think they are both great machines if you wanting to work on getting healthier.
@@bamatina777 I really wanted to LOVE the Nama. In some ways it is superiors to the VSJ843 on paper, and in "design" . That being said, in REAL WORLD JUICING, it does not happen that way. I have used the Nama for MANY months before making this episode, some of my comments are based on my experience using the Nama DOZENS of time, prior to this video. Since this video was filmed, I the Nama broke 2x on me, which Nama corrected under warranty.
@@rnwks2008 that video brought me here because it through me off that she really taped the name of the other juicer but called the video comparison video... that didn't make sense to me
I can't help but wonder if Nama juice would have been a better color/taste had you cut to produce up more and not forced it through in such large bunches. It leaves the question of whether or not this test fairly represents the way the Nama should be used instead of how you want to use the juicer. We have to consider the possibility of diminishing returns, in terms of both time and results, due to the juicing method.
@@johnkohler8711 My assumption was that the Nama instructs users to chop up greens into small bits (the way you'd cut and dump in celery). If Nama promotes that juicer as not requiring precutting, that's a HUGE problem. There appears to be little "grabbing and pulling" action that you see with many vertical juicers when juicing green vegetables. I cut my greens into 8ths or 10ths and then just let them fall in. That seems to be the more logical way for the Nama. Having to use the pusher so much on on such a slow juicer is bound to impact the service life and surely require replacing the screen after a few years.
@@yamamancha One of "Nama's" claim to fame is the fact that "due to more torque" no PRECUTTING is required, saving you time. I personally would not advertise the Nama in this way myself. Other verticals do recommend precutting greens although not to the smaller size I recommend. Surely it is best to precut produce, but even when I do in the nama it can "hang" in the top of the feed chute and not drop in as easy as other verticals I have used.
I could have chopped it up into small bits and dropped it into the juicer, and it MAY have worked better, but this would even take MORE time. So if you want to go slower, you can. But in all cases, the vsj843 would still be more quick to juice due to feed chute size/convenience of opening and more easily accepts produce. Nama promotes that this juicer does not REQUIRE precutting of greens (which I disagree with). So you have to push with MORE force to get them in there. This is one of the pros/cons that each person needs to determine for themselves.
I just saw that the new Nama J2 has an opening as big as a food processor and that is about the most awesome thing: no more one thing at a time trying to squeeze it through the narrow chute...now you can just layer everything just like processor or blender...I think that's the best option I have seen. What do you think?
In your opinion which one is better?? Because I bought a Nama and it’s still in the box. But after seeing this guys video I thought about returning to get either the green star pro or the vsj he keeps speaking on?? You’re opinion?
@@LoLo-vh2hn I'm looking at buying a juicer again. Not had a Nama before but just finished with a Green Star - it's going into juicer heaven after 1.5 years, the plastic casing cracked, customer service not amazing. Glad I bought it from Amazon who refunded straight away... Shame because it was an excellent juicer and made phenomenal juice.. Maybe I was just unlucky - but I won't be buying a juicer with plastic case again...Good luck with your purchase!
@@zuzanachuda2925 Thanks for sharing your experience. I just received mine yesterday. I’m still considering on returning but I want to do just a bit of research first before making a final decision.
Yes I watched this video then I went to go watch your video I’m already seeing one from fully raw video but your video was very honest and doing all those comparison now I’m going back to Nama even though you did tell me the pros and cons I can definitely see I’m gonna get Nama
I understand you feel I am "biased" with the Omega. I personally believe I tend to be very analytical, and CLEARLY if you watch the video, you will learn the pros and cons of every juicer. I strive to SHOW WHY I say the things I do. Am I perfect? of course not, but I strive to do the best job I can. I have nearly a hundred hours of juicing with my nama juicer to date. and this video shows 1.5 hours of that. I can say IMO In Fully Raw Kristinas videos, she does not show the full video, only "clips" out parts she feels to be important. The fact of the matter is each juicer offers their own set of pros and cons, and each person needs to determine which juicer "checks more boxes" for them. I strive to make the best juicer comparisons on youtube to help people make this decision, despite my commentary, if people do not agree with what I am saying.
Well to be fair every video “review” I’ve seen for the Nama might as well be an infomercial for the juicer. While it’s easy to see that John favors the VSJ, at least we’re finally seeing the downside of the Nama. Quite honestly a small chute would drive me nuts. Sometimes I wish I got the Kuvings over the Slowstar because even the Slowstar’s feed chute is pretty small. So if the Nama’s is even smallEr that’d make juicing that much more tedious. And so far John’s the only one I’ve seen to mention that or say anything negative about the Nama.
@@YaBoyKelzz Let me tell you im returning my Nama after the first use, it got clogged with carrots on the first use and the machine is now stuck. First use, that is why im here trying to figure out which juicer to get and Nama being $400 i though it would be better.
Everyone is saying he's biased, maybe, I'm not sure. I thought it was informative. However, I do have the nama! Used it yesterday for the 1st time. I can confirm all the problems he is having w it. It gets jamed, stuff gets stuck on the top, the pusher stick does not do a good job to push stock through! I got the nama because our slow star is a pain to clean! The slow star is an amazing juicer! Such a great juicer but it is difficult to clean!!! So I am now regretting my nama purchase! I ripped up the box w out thinking I would want to send it back. Now I wonder if they will even let me return it. I feel like i down graded from the slow star to the nama. I wish I would of got the omega simply for the easier cleaning!!
Just an update. I have purchased the omega mentioned in this video and I got to tell you, its fantastic. Great performance and way easier to clean than the slow star and nama. We are definitely keeping this one!! I recommend the omega.
Why did you feed it in the other way? You went leaf side first with your favorite juicer and then did stem side first with the Nama. You were also more forceful with the Nama. Not cool man.
I was not paying attention when feeding lettuce into the nama. I'm not perfect. That being said, no matter which way you feed, the following time you feed, you will get the "stem end" which is what matters, as it will help push the softer material thru the juicer. Next, I HAD to be more forceful with the nama, the lettuce got STUCK in the feed chute, and would not go in as easy, due to the design of the top of the auger. In addition, due to the higher level of backpressure the nama puts (due to the design, which may make a higher yield) the produce doesn't feed thru the juicer as easily as on the VSJ843. I encourage you to purchase BOTH juicers, and do this test, I am confident you will get similar results as I did. Due to having more backpressure, it also causes more oxidation, see my video on the MM900, where this also occurs.
Not feeding both juicers the same way (stem up so it pushes the light bottom part to make more juice which would get lost) is not a fair comparison, why not re-do the video?
@@discountjuicers ur lying bcus you said putting in the produce the other way is better, bcuz the bottom part have too much fibre, when u were feeding it thru the vsj John ur fake like raw Kristina.
Purchased the Nama and I've been happy so far, except the cleaning is a pain in the butt and the leaves aren't chewed up entirely. I wonder if I could return it, because the oxidation comparison blew me away. If I can return my Nama, I will get the Omega VSJ843. Thank you for your unbiased review! (:
So glad I didn't pull the trigger on a Nama juicer last night and I am glad I waited to watch your video this morning. I am an analytical person, so I appreciate your attention to detail and the thorough and detailed video comparison of the Nama and Omega VSJ juicer video you produced. Finally, I didn't find your video long at all, because your detailed explanations of the differences in both machines was the information I needed to make an informed decision about which juicer was right for me. Next, I will checking out your website to purchase an Omega VSJ. Thank you John for taking the time to make your excellent juicer comparison video!
Hi John the OMEGA VSJ843 is the winner for me, I’m Going to Stop using May Green star Elite, It is a great juicer I bought it from you on 11/2008 But the cleaning time is getting to me ha ha Ha I love the Taste of the Juice And it has saved me a lot of money on my Produce, I only use it every two days since I make juice for two days and I can vacuum pack it And two days later it still taste the same It was a great buy, I’m very happy with it thank you John
John. You make a very useful videos. Thank you so much. If I want to juice hasrd veggies, like beets and carrots, and green leaves only what juicer would you recommend?
Hey John just wanted to say that I’m a huge fan of yours, I love your videos they are amazing and unique, I wish I had more time so I can watch them all...Please keep up the good work, I will be buying a juicer from you of course pretty soon...stay safe John🌹✌️
While that is possible, I highly doubt it. As evidenced by the more brown pulp inside the juicer. Also if you were taste the juices, you would taste the very minor difference in taste. I have juiced 1000s of pounds of produce using many different juicers, and am quite familiar with how oxidized juices taste and look. If I used a champion juicer, it also browns juices, and it is TOTALLY because of oxidation in that juicer that will also make a more brown juice, which is caused by more friction in the creation of the juice. In the old days, champion would advertise this as a more "rich juice".; which I personally dont believe is accurate. If it was more chlophyll, I believe it would be more of a darker green, (not brownish). think wheatgrass juice from a dedicated wheatgrass auger juicer. Some juicers such as the Pure juicer, when I press pulp (from a slow juicer) DOES make a darker juice, because I believe it is extracting more phytonutrients by crushing cell walls. I will make a video about this one of these days.
@@johnkohler8711 do you have a video comparing the Greenstar elite with the Nama juicer or omega vsj843? I’m confused how the nama did so much better in Kristina’s video... unless her Greenstar is just old and doesn’t work well anymore.
@@lovesgibson I have yet to run the nama vs green star elite. I do have a VSJ843 vs Green Star Pro th-cam.com/video/oQ92n-tz55g/w-d-xo.html IIn my videos, I show the full juicing process, In hers she just shows results. So I Wonder what's going on behind the scenes, personally. One some items, the Nama may perform better than the twin gear, but I have not done side-by-side comparisons yet, although it is on my list.
To be fair he probably wasn't paying attention but he did put some stem first in the omega too, and he did some leaf down in the nama as well. I think he just didn't realizing he was doing it.
My review on Juicers I have used 4 juicers to date. One of them Breville Fountain Plus, Omega 365, Omega 1000HDS, and finally Nama. Breville - Could extract only 50% juice from Produce. Completely inefficient and a waste of money. Omega 365 - Could extract 70% juice from Produce. A bit of a compromise in terms of efficiency. Biggest Con, Weak parts, broke in 2 months. Omega 1000HDS - Could extract 90% juice from Produce. Satisfied with efficiency but the con was it could only juice hard vegetables, gets completely stuck with soft produce especially fruits. Only works for vegetables. Nama 5800 - By far, the best juicer I have used. Extracts up to 90% juice. Works equally good on both vegetables and fruits. Completely satisfied. It does make a squeaking sound now and then. I don't know if it means something but hoping the parts keep up with juicing. Otherwise, I am happy.
One thing about me I'm not sleep I'm wide awake. You said you don't like to feed the vegetables stem down because it can jam the machine up, but I notice you fed the vegetable stem down using the Nama machine which caused it to jam up a little and made the motor sound strange, but when you use the Omega machine you fed the vegetable stem up which made the machine run smooth...WOW what a big disappointment I thought you was going to be fair about Nama vs Omega, but I see I was wrong about you
Mike, Honestly, I get "caught up in the video" and sometimes move too quickly. This was my oversight. That being said, EVEN if juiced the other way, which is not optimal, it doesn't matter THAT much,. The issue is When you feed stem end first then leaf end, the juicer "gets the crunchy stuff, that works BEST" folled by the softer stuff. If you feed the stem end first, you get the crunchy stuff first, then the leafy stuff, BUT the next piece, you get the same CRUNCHY stuff first, which in the end accomplishes the same thing. Also because the nama lettuce was cut into 1/4s there was NOT as much crunchy stem to affect the juicing process as much as on the VSJ843, which each time got 1/2 a crunchy stem. In any case, I believe IF You purchased BOTH juicers and did this exact comparison, if you DID properly feed "perfectly" each time, you would get similar results that I show.
finally an honest unbiased review. I have been using a centrifugal and I was going to get a Nama because every youtuber and their grandmother is talking about the Nama. I am an engineer and I am pretty skeptical, especially when everyone is saying something is the best.
Hv you considered horizontal models? From a durability & ease of cleaning & versatility standpoint there're unbeatable. All Verticals seems too many downsides. From a 8006 owner.
this comparison is kinda messed up. The juice in the nama clearly oxidized more because you overloaded the feeding shoot and had to push it down so it got jammed. and then that's why it took longer to juice. the shoot is that size for a reason. lol if you had just cut it smaller it woulve fit and you would have a fair side by side
Hey! I'm new to juicing and I'm wondering what you consider to be one of the best juicers? I want to juice both fruit and vegetables and I plan to store them for as long as possible
Not that I am aware. If they did release a new version, I personally dont see how it could be better than the VSJ843 because newer technology (across all brands) still are not as good (IMO)
Hello i love your videos!!! I watch one a day and learn so much from you. Thank you!!! My vsj843 moves a little bit when its juicing. Not the base of the juicer but the black part. Is that normal for it to move a little during the juicing process?
John. You make a very useful videos. Thank you so much. If I want to juice hasrd veggies, like beets and carrots, and green leaves only what juicer would you recommend?
I just ordered a nama today. I was so excited. Now reading these comments I’m wondering if I made the right choice. But I’m sure it’s better than the one that I have now but wish I had remembered the omega as I had my eye on it years ago but couldn’t afford it.
I got the omega vsj juicer & after having it a month I just sent it back. It's a good juice but it was jamming a lot. The area were the pulp comes out of wouldn't come out but only a little bit. And that got annoying b/c that would jam the machine. I thought I could get past it but I nope so sent it back. Now I'm thinking of the nama or kuvings.
Hello. I have both NAMA and VSJ. After using both, go VSJ. The nod would go to VSJ in my opinion. Got mine from John. His customer service is top notch. Do yourself a favor. Go Omega VSJ843 from John. Have a good day.
Dang. I wish I had seen this before. I just got my nama delivered earlier this week. I understand the importance of ease of juicing long term. And I like the greener shade of the juice from Omega. Less oxidation. The 15 year warranty is also preferable. I am going to try out my nama today at lunchtime. As long as it's functioning and reasonably okay, I'll stick to it for now. But next time, I will do more research. I swear their website said that it was very quiet. In this video, it doesn't seem as quiet as I thought.
Hi John, Thank you for this video. I’ve made my decision what juicer to buy and I’m looking forward to living a healthier lifestyle...Love you...Sincerely, Mrs. Jacqueline M...
I really liked the thoroughness of this review as you compared the components of each machine. Where I wish you had changed your comparison method is when you put the romaine lettuce into the juicers. Each manufacturer has recommendations as to how to put vegetables/fruits into the respective machines. When you were demonstrating the Nama, I wish you had cut the romaine up a little bit more so that you didn’t have to use the pusher as frequently because as you pointed out, the chute to the Nama was significantly smaller than the Omega. I think that would have prevented leaves from falling all over the place including into the juice container, as well as getting jammed in the chute because more romaine was put in than the chute could handle. The Nama would have taken even longer had you done that. Last, looks of food do influence our taste. In fairness, I wish you had blind folded your self so that you didn’t know which juice you were tasting. I feel that would have been fairer. That being said, all of the comparison that you did machine to machine, convinced me that if you want juice, I would go with the Omega. Thanks so much for doing this video and sharing.
Over the past 30 years I've had about every juicer out there, but my favorite juicer that I use all the time is my high speed "Juice man" juicer as promoted by Jay Kordich the original Juiceman. It's not the best but it's what works for me. I use mine every day. I only make apple/carrot juice with it daily and it's very good.
LOL I gave up after 4 minutes, I am with you. I noticed on his website, they are both the same price. Omega has a stellar reputation but I like the versatility of the Nama juicer, good for nut milks and smoothies as well as juice and sorbet. Did you purchase one?
JOHN! Placing order on your site right now. Are all three colors of the VSJ (silver, white, red) the exact same juicer and all made in South Korea? You're the goat
Hi John, I've been a Subscriber of yours for years! Love, Love, Love the very detailed info you take the time to put out. With that said, I went to your 'Purchase' page & couldn't find this Omega VSJ843 machine for sale. has it been discontinued temporarily? Please advise, I am looking to make a purchase by Friday, Thankyou! & let me know how I can retrieve your answer back to me?
I will re-watch, I have always enjoyed your very detailed info, it helps me in knowing what choices are available. I will re-watch it, I don't know how I missed it. Do you also still purchase your wheatgrass from that nice couple you did a video on?
Hello, I have a quick question about order of operation (which vegetables or fruit in what order) and the Omega we purchased specifically from this review. So far we can’t even make a days worth of juice without the underbelly of the masticating shaft getting packed with remains. Even when processing all items into 1” of smaller pieces. Do you have any advise on this? Thanks so much.
pulp will always fill UNDER the auger when you are done juicing. Please watch th-cam.com/video/g6Qt4pGCI4o/w-d-xo.html for my usage tips. Also watch th-cam.com/video/53pT6N8Kh58/w-d-xo.html for my bulk juicing tips.
I purchased the VSJ last week from omega website when they were restocked. I'm trying to find out more info on my order (tracking, was it received, anything at this point) and I'm having trouble getting a hold of someone. I've called, emailed, used Facebook and Instagram. Any suggestions? Are they always like thus?
I have the omega and a breville. I never stick with the omega. Cutting everything up, cleaning etc takes A LONG TIME! with the breville I juice consistently. And yes I know the difference between the two. Time is also money...
Each style of making nut milk has its own set of pros and cons. I like the less parts to clean of the vacuum blender/VSJ to make nut milk. I like the "richness" and thick and rich taste of the nut milk made in the nutramilk The nutramilk also provides you a better benefit as you get more fiber in the nut milk than made with the VSJ843. Nutramilk saves you more money as there are very little waste when you are done. Of course, if you want the pulp and dry it you can turn it into almond flour for baking gluten free goods. The nutramilk will not provide this. I suppose it depends on what you like in the end. In general, I personally use the vacuum blender/VSJ843 when making nut milk over the nutramilk. I do use the nutramilk to make nut butter over using a juicer, as it works significantly better.
Thanks for another informative video, John. I bought an Omega 8006 from you years ago, before the vertical masticating juicers came out. It’s never had so much as a hiccup in over 10 years so no complaints from me. My family can do whatever they want with it after I die. 😄
I have the Jack Lalane juicer which is still going good for me, my only complain is it cannot juice leafy greens. I observed that you purposely sabotaged the Nama by the way you were putting the leaves in, head first as opposed to leaf first as you said to. I also noticed that you might like the name a lot more than you are letting, because it has way more use than the omega.
I got the omega recommended here manufactured June 2020 on ebay. Very light use from previous owner. I was surprised that greens stuck to the underside of the black thing that turns and after parsley and kale I used reverse and it dislodged the whole thing forcing me to take it apart. What a mess! Clean up is not what I expected either. Not sure if this was an exception or if omega is going down hill. Opinion?
John is the juicer GOAT! Purchased the omega juicer and hands down the best juicer I’ve ever encountered 🙌 Definitely a great investment if you wanna take your health to the next level. I appreciate you John! Thank you for sharing light and knowledge to all of us on your channel 🙌🙏
Watts are not a measure of torque. Watts indicate the power consumption of the motor. The Nama motor may very well produce more torque than the other one. You'd have to look at the relative torque specifications for each motor to know for sure.
Man, I've been researching juicers for months and can't decide on one. I want one that will be able to do greens so I feel that puts centri's out of the choices. Then going over all the others still can't decide.
I did view that video, and in my expert opinion, it is flawed. Here are some of my thoughts: 1. She does not weight out produce to let you know it is a fair comparison. 2. She juices OFF camera, she could add more or less juice to affect yields. 3. She has a financial relationship with Nama but NOT the other two companies. 4. The other juicer names are taped over. Is she afraid of getting sued for slander? Why else would she tape them over? In the future, I Will make my own video showing the truth juicing carrots and celery in three different juicers. So subscribe to my channel to be notified when it comes out so people can learn the truth. Im not a gambling man, but I almost guarantee the other two juicers will yield more than she shows, In my personal opinion. Would love to do the juicer comparison with her to ensure it is fair and accurate.
@@sharnetteraye-brown9523 Hello Sharnette, thank you for your feedback. I believe Kristina covers the brands of the other juicers she uses because she does not want to bash on any specific brands out there that is doing their best to encourage a healthier lifestyle! As long as you have a juicer and is juicing everyday, that is all that matters! :)
I just bought the Omega Juicer from Home Depot. The unit working fine: 1. The juice seems sweeter than the Horizontal Juicer H8008C making juice. I have this H8008C almost 3 years. 2. The Unit produces less yield than the H8008C 3. The pulp is finer and less volume than the Juicer H8008C 4. Noise of this machine is quieter than H8008C, Range: 47db - 52db 5. The pulp of VSJ843Q is moist comparing to Juicer H8008C is dried bone. 6. It is easier to clean the juicer H8008C than the juicer VSJ843Q. But no big deal. I have to return the VSJ843Q juicer because there are No RED color (missing) on the triangles. It is a visual AID for alignment. It is hard to align without the RED color triangles. The made in China H8008C is the good one for me. Omega customer Service is VERY quick and helpful.
You could support a small business that is providing free information that you are apparently consuming or you could line the pockets of a guy with a net worth of over $177 BILLION!!! Come on, people! Support this man! He is knowledgeable and works hard to give unbiased reviews.
@David R He gives you plenty of information to decide on which juicer will meet your needs. Why should John take the loss because somebody decides that juicing is too much bother or something similar?
@David R I understand what you are saying. I have watched so many of John’s videos, I feel that he has answered all of the questions I could possibly have. I placed my order last night with him knowing the juicer cannot be returned after opening. I’m at peace with it.
@Richard Gray Your critique is not fair. Sometimes people don’t truly know a machine until they’ve use it for some time. And no amount of TH-cam videos can replace actual experience. I’ve had frustrations with my Slowstar from using it that I wouldn’t have ever learned if the only knowledge I had was TH-cam vids.
@Ms overcomer We are not talking about returning something that is defective. We are talking about returning something because the customer decides for some random reason that he would like to try out different juicers at John's expense.
For VERTICAL juicers: I would buy the Omega VSJ843. It is the one I come back to after testing all the major brands. See all my videos for comparisons.Full explaination th-cam.com/video/pHvAXTKlrhw/w-d-xo.html

Why am I buying from your site? There is no additional discount I can get the same from Amazon. I was hoping to get a discount from your site cuz you call yours discount juicers.

If you dont like my long videos, where I show IN DETAIL why each juicer is different..
In the end, I declare the VSJ843 is better for my needs. Watch the video to learn why.
John, I enjoy your long detailed videos
Really appreciate your detailed videos. I bought my VSJ843 because of your thorough review. Keep up the good work!
You're awesome, John! I appreciate your truthfulness and integrity. Thank you!
I bought my VSJ843 before discovering your channel. Imagine how delighted I was to know that I have one of the best juicers on the market after subscribing to your channel.
You should have showed and compared how dry the pulp was on both machines also. And you can dehydrate the pulp to make chips or put in your baking dishes. Thank you for this video information I watch the video on TH-cam, fat sick and nearly dead. So I wanted to find out what actually was the best cold-pressed juicer for the price and the micronutrients, so thank you for this video and all the other ones do.
I owned the Omega VSJ843 and I bought the Nama. My impressions: the prep time to juice in the Nama is outrageously long. The Omega juices faster, and handles much larger pieces of fruit and vegetables.
The thing I dislike about the Omega is it is WAY harder to clean than the Nama. I need tweezers. I can clean the entire Nama in under 2 minutes. The Omega takes 5-6 because it holds on to fibers.
Recently the Nama has been locking up, making disassembly difficult to impossible. There are finally videos available that show how to make release the parts when it locks up.
Juice quality? About the same. Warranty? A joke. And the feed chute is so small, it's a pain in the ass to have to cut things into small pieces in order to feed them into the auger.
Conclusion? I'm with you. The Nama is hyped by a lot
of people who have never owned a decent juicer, but the Omega is a better machine.
Same here
Thank you for this review.
@@hazelgriffith4515 I think John and I agree that a number of juicers are better than the Nama. If you can afford it, the Sana 727 is the best juicer I have EVER used. Right now it is $100 off in black.
@@garyhenderson6504 Thanks...
With the Omega you put the lettuce leaf down first and with the Nama you put the lettuce stalk down first. Could that have made a difference in the time and oxidation? I have a Nama and my only complaint so far is that the shoot is too small thus taking more time but I have never experienced the level of oxidation that was in this video. They both seem to be great machines. Thank you for your demonstration.
I bought my Omega juicer from you three years ago. I juiced three apples and it netted me 1 cup of juice. I love it!! Thank you, John.
I got BOTH juicers. John is right! The Omega VSJ is less hassle, easier to clean, larger fed chute, loner warranty, faster to use, and to me does a better job at not oxidizing green produce. However, I would say that Nama does have more torque and juices hard produce like carrots, beets, etc better. Hope that helps with your choice. To me , the nod goes to the Omega VSJ. You choose.
Why did you buy both, just curious?
@@anitacarrington Good morning 🌞 Anita. Originally I was in the market to buy a juicer. I saw some videos on TH-cam and then I decided to get the Nama. After watching John's video, I decided to get the Omega vsj and comparative to. I decided to keep both. It's good to have a backup anyway. I had a issue with the vsj and had to wait for a part. In the meantime, I was still able to use the Nama 😊 Which one you got?
@@cedrickanderson453 well I just ordered both of them. Lol. I'm trying to do a sml juice bizniz for myself
@@ultarivera2813 good morning. Good idea to have both. But, they are for home use not commercial use. Youre going to have to in between juices to clean them which does not take long. Should be ok.

My Nama arrived yesterday. I read the instructions last night, and I'm ready to use it for the first time today.
I have decided to buy the Nama, way above my budget, because I am just tired of buying juicers that just make me waste money on the juicer itself aaaand the ingredients. I will not name all the ones I bought, but i even went as high as $219.00, and was still disappointed. So, after lengthy researches by me and my children, we narrowed down the Nama and the Omega. We really were stuck between the 2, but went with the Nama. So I will update after a week how my Nama holds up to its name.
Any update?
@@healthybalancedjess2178 actually, Yes!
I have to say, so far, I am not disappointed. I love my juicer. It is everything they say it is. It is a beautiful machine.
It juices very well. I would have loved for the pulp to be a little dryer, but it is ok for the amount of juice I get. I do not throw the pulp away. I make meatloaf, meatballs, burgers with the veggie pulps and something sweet with the fruits. No juicer is gonna be 100% perfect, but I would recommend the Nama cause I feel it's the closest.
@@notaslaveoffear5114 great, I ordered mine earlier today!
@@healthybalancedjess2178 did you get a chance to test your juicer and if so do you like it????

I have been waiting for this particular video! Thank you. I bought the omega based off of my research and you showing me which juicer best for my specifics needs. I am grateful for your videos and honesty.
I’m a bit turned between the pure juicer and the omega. I don’t know which one to get.
Update
I order Omega and it’s on the way
@@Momo-yl3hs Hows it working so far is it worth it?
@@TheIntrovert83hi there my name is Mohammed. Honestly, I received it and unboxed it but haven’t tried it yet. Give me your WhatsApp or Snapchat and I will give you an update & direct review
It was a fair (and enjoyable) comparison up until 1:09:10 when you started forcing the romaine in butt-first. You fed it in leaf-first on the other brand and you even mentioned why you fed it in leaf-first. Inconsistencies like this make it "appear" as though you are purposely trying to fudge the numbers.
I noticed that too. plus he said the omega brand too 4 mins when it was actually over 5 minutes. the Nama was longer but why make it seem like it was so much longer also the oxidation talk made it seem like that's the only horrible thing he could point out so he kept bringing it up.
I absolutely love my Nama juicer! I haven’t had any issues with it at all and I use it every single day 💕
Where did you get it?
@@Dideeeee from the Nama company
Hope this is not to personal but are you in the us ? I can’t have it shipped to my state is there a different website for us customers?
@@ddw125 Hi, yes. I’m in the US
@@ddw125 oh I forgot. I simply went to the Nama website. It took a little over a week to get
From my experience with juicers, the centrifigul juicers started out with small chutes and became easier to juice with larger chutes. I also noticed after making a point how to feed lettuce that you didn't feed the same way. Otherwise a decent presentation
I'm so happy to see this guy again. lmao. he stopped posting on his main channel. That or i didn't hit the bell. Love how honest and passionate John is.
The difference in color is remarkable... VSJ by far.
He's still uploading on GrowingyourGreens and okayraw...
He just posted a video on TH-cam a day ago.
I was honestly thinking about getting the Nama, but this video has changed my mind. Thanks for this review!
Same here!!!
Yeah me too! Was thinking about getting Nama. Luckily watched this. Thank you 👍
I bought the Nama and returned it immediately...disappointing.
Ditto!
I have to agree with almost everything he said. I just bought the Nama and I am VERY disappointed.
It jams all the time. I even cut the produce smaller to try to avoid it.
The foam is way too much.
Juicing greens was a nightmare. It just clogged and got stuck around the auger.
Some of the juices had big chunks.
And the machine is pretty difficult to clean.
I've had it a little over a week. I'm going to give it another shot before I send it back.
Yeah, thanks...sorry you had such a bad experience with it. I’ve seen about 98% positive views on Instagram and was preparing to click that purchase button, but decided to watch a review video first.
@@deejay8403 most people that do personal reviews tend to be bias because they don’t want to admit they bought a dud LOL. That’s why I love this channel. He has no reason to be bias, he has every juicer you can think of.

Hello Trenita, I'm so sorry to hear you had a bad experience with our juicer.

There's a lot of tips and tricks that you can do to prevent all of the above from happening! Make sure to read the manual carefully and review all of our videos on our website. - Nama Team :)
Omega has been in the market longer and have the history to back their product. I’m glad I did some more research before jumping on the Nama bandwagon.
Amazing review - probably the most thorough I’ve seen AND it’s nice to have a non-sponsored review when everything else is the same syntax from people “in the Nama family”
A couple things that I didn't see were that no pulp comparison to see which was the driest and could it been that the darker Nama juice was because it got more of the nutrients out of the lettuce 🥬 than the vsj843. Me personally I don't care about the time difference or smaller chute. Im looking for the most nutrient dense juice!
IMO the darker juice was because of oxidation. If you tasted the juice and were a supertaster, this would immediately be apparent.
I decided on the omega vsj843 because of the 15 year warranty! 20% off and overnight shipping for $410. It beat your price by over $260 dollars for the same item and overnight shipping!!
@@ybesom what do you mean it beat his price by $260?
@@ChefNaomi81 $260 savings compared to his price and overnight shipping!
@@ybesom how is your omega vsj holding up? I really need a juicer but I'm so confused. Do u know anything about the kuvings juicers,?
Finally a unbiased review with the nama it seemed everyone was sponsored by them and they would pick the worst juicer to go up against!
lol I just saw that FullyRawKristina video today
She is definitely biased. So sad
Actually, that is not true. You can tell he loves the Omega over the Nama....plus if you look at his website, most of the juicers being sold are Omega machines. Still, I noticed, he put the lettuce leaf side in the Omega but opposite way in the Nama. The color, I agree... I think they are both great machines if you wanting to work on getting healthier.
@@bamatina777 I really wanted to LOVE the Nama. In some ways it is superiors to the VSJ843 on paper, and in "design" . That being said, in REAL WORLD JUICING, it does not happen that way. I have used the Nama for MANY months before making this episode, some of my comments are based on my experience using the Nama DOZENS of time, prior to this video. Since this video was filmed, I the Nama broke 2x on me, which Nama corrected under warranty.
@@rnwks2008 that video brought me here because it through me off that she really taped the name of the other juicer but called the video comparison video... that didn't make sense to me
I can't help but wonder if Nama juice would have been a better color/taste had you cut to produce up more and not forced it through in such large bunches.
It leaves the question of whether or not this test fairly represents the way the Nama should be used instead of how you want to use the juicer.
We have to consider the possibility of diminishing returns, in terms of both time and results, due to the juicing method.
@@johnkohler8711
My assumption was that the Nama instructs users to chop up greens into small bits (the way you'd cut and dump in celery).
If Nama promotes that juicer as not requiring precutting, that's a HUGE problem. There appears to be little "grabbing and pulling" action that you see with many vertical juicers when juicing green vegetables.
I cut my greens into 8ths or 10ths and then just let them fall in. That seems to be the more logical way for the Nama. Having to use the pusher so much on on such a slow juicer is bound to impact the service life and surely require replacing the screen after a few years.
@@yamamancha One of "Nama's" claim to fame is the fact that "due to more torque" no PRECUTTING is required, saving you time. I personally would not advertise the Nama in this way myself. Other verticals do recommend precutting greens although not to the smaller size I recommend. Surely it is best to precut produce, but even when I do in the nama it can "hang" in the top of the feed chute and not drop in as easy as other verticals I have used.
I could have chopped it up into small bits and dropped it into the juicer, and it MAY have worked better, but this would even take MORE time. So if you want to go slower, you can. But in all cases, the vsj843 would still be more quick to juice due to feed chute size/convenience of opening and more easily accepts produce. Nama promotes that this juicer does not REQUIRE precutting of greens (which I disagree with). So you have to push with MORE force to get them in there. This is one of the pros/cons that each person needs to determine for themselves.
I just saw that the new Nama J2 has an opening as big as a food processor and that is about the most awesome thing: no more one thing at a time trying to squeeze it through the narrow chute...now you can just layer everything just like processor or blender...I think that's the best option I have seen.
What do you think?
Your reviews are so detailed and helpful. This is great, thanks!!
You are incredibly thorough with your reviews. 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I have the Omega NC800HDS (the horizontal one) and I also have the Nama. I did a comparison video and the results were very interesting
I saw your video. I actually prefer the NAMA.
In your opinion which one is better?? Because I bought a Nama and it’s still in the box. But after seeing this guys video I thought about returning to get either the green star pro or the vsj he keeps speaking on?? You’re opinion?
@@LoLo-vh2hn I'm looking at buying a juicer again. Not had a Nama before but just finished with a Green Star - it's going into juicer heaven after 1.5 years, the plastic casing cracked, customer service not amazing. Glad I bought it from Amazon who refunded straight away... Shame because it was an excellent juicer and made phenomenal juice.. Maybe I was just unlucky - but I won't be buying a juicer with plastic case again...Good luck with your purchase!
@@zuzanachuda2925 Thanks for sharing your experience. I just received mine yesterday. I’m still considering on returning but I want to do just a bit of research first before making a final decision.
Yes I watched this video then I went to go watch your video I’m already seeing one from fully raw
video but your video was very honest and doing all those comparison now I’m going back to Nama even though you did tell me the pros and cons I can definitely see I’m gonna get Nama
I came here because I thought Fully Raw Kristina was biased in her promotion of Nama, but he's just as biased with Omega smh
I understand you feel I am "biased" with the Omega. I personally believe I tend to be very analytical, and CLEARLY if you watch the video, you will learn the pros and cons of every juicer. I strive to SHOW WHY I say the things I do. Am I perfect? of course not, but I strive to do the best job I can. I have nearly a hundred hours of juicing with my nama juicer to date. and this video shows 1.5 hours of that. I can say IMO In Fully Raw Kristinas videos, she does not show the full video, only "clips" out parts she feels to be important. The fact of the matter is each juicer offers their own set of pros and cons, and each person needs to determine which juicer "checks more boxes" for them. I strive to make the best juicer comparisons on youtube to help people make this decision, despite my commentary, if people do not agree with what I am saying.
I thought I was the only one that noticed. I respect his opinion but it seems like everything about the nama is an issue for him
Well to be fair every video “review” I’ve seen for the Nama might as well be an infomercial for the juicer. While it’s easy to see that John favors the VSJ, at least we’re finally seeing the downside of the Nama. Quite honestly a small chute would drive me nuts. Sometimes I wish I got the Kuvings over the Slowstar because even the Slowstar’s feed chute is pretty small. So if the Nama’s is even smallEr that’d make juicing that much more tedious. And so far John’s the only one I’ve seen to mention that or say anything negative about the Nama.
@@YaBoyKelzz Let me tell you im returning my Nama after the first use, it got clogged with carrots on the first use and the machine is now stuck. First use, that is why im here trying to figure out which juicer to get and Nama being $400 i though it would be better.
Well, Nama is pure B.S., just look at their stupid warranty on the motor ? What a piece of garbage..Omega VSJ beats this hands down..
Everyone is saying he's biased, maybe, I'm not sure. I thought it was informative. However, I do have the nama! Used it yesterday for the 1st time. I can confirm all the problems he is having w it. It gets jamed, stuff gets stuck on the top, the pusher stick does not do a good job to push stock through! I got the nama because our slow star is a pain to clean! The slow star is an amazing juicer! Such a great juicer but it is difficult to clean!!! So I am now regretting my nama purchase! I ripped up the box w out thinking I would want to send it back. Now I wonder if they will even let me return it. I feel like i down graded from the slow star to the nama. I wish I would of got the omega simply for the easier cleaning!!
If you selling - I'm buying. Sooooo, sell it to me
@@TheShopGrandOpening The nama? I shipped it back to them. I do have the slow star if interested
Thanks
Not interested, but thanks
Just an update. I have purchased the omega mentioned in this video and I got to tell you, its fantastic. Great performance and way easier to clean than the slow star and nama. We are definitely keeping this one!! I recommend the omega.
Why did you feed it in the other way? You went leaf side first with your favorite juicer and then did stem side first with the Nama. You were also more forceful with the Nama. Not cool man.
I noticed that too. Really showing some bias towards the Nama Juicer
yes I would like to know this also maybe that is the reason for the oxidation in the Nama juice which is all that matters to me
I was not paying attention when feeding lettuce into the nama. I'm not perfect. That being said, no matter which way you feed, the following time you feed, you will get the "stem end" which is what matters, as it will help push the softer material thru the juicer. Next, I HAD to be more forceful with the nama, the lettuce got STUCK in the feed chute, and would not go in as easy, due to the design of the top of the auger. In addition, due to the higher level of backpressure the nama puts (due to the design, which may make a higher yield) the produce doesn't feed thru the juicer as easily as on the VSJ843. I encourage you to purchase BOTH juicers, and do this test, I am confident you will get similar results as I did. Due to having more backpressure, it also causes more oxidation, see my video on the MM900, where this also occurs.
Not feeding both juicers the same way (stem up so it pushes the light bottom part to make more juice which would get lost) is not a fair comparison, why not re-do the video?
@@discountjuicers ur lying bcus you said putting in the produce the other way is better, bcuz the bottom part have too much fibre, when u were feeding it thru the vsj John ur fake like raw Kristina.
Purchased the Nama and I've been happy so far, except the cleaning is a pain in the butt and the leaves aren't chewed up entirely. I wonder if I could return it, because the oxidation comparison blew me away. If I can return my Nama, I will get the Omega VSJ843. Thank you for your unbiased review! (:
Omg! I ordered one two days ago, I think they have a terrible return policy
@@MoDavI-sl7iy wow, I haven’t even tried to return it. But I guess I’ll be keeping mine. Did they give you a hard time about returning it??

Great thorough review. It was very helpful...Omega it is!! Your biase from the beginning is hilarious though!
So glad I didn't pull the trigger on a Nama juicer last night and I am glad I waited to watch your video this morning. I am an analytical person, so I appreciate your attention to detail and the thorough and detailed video comparison of the Nama and Omega VSJ juicer video you produced. Finally, I didn't find your video long at all, because your detailed explanations of the differences in both machines was the information I needed to make an informed decision about which juicer was right for me. Next, I will checking out your website to purchase an Omega VSJ. Thank you John for taking the time to make your excellent juicer comparison video!
Your best one so far John! Really enjoy your reviews. Appreciate it. Now I got to go home and spank my juicer
Is there ANY vertical juicer that will take a whole stalk of celery and not choke?
Did you find anything yet?
Hi John the OMEGA VSJ843 is the winner for me, I’m Going to Stop using May Green star Elite, It is a great juicer I bought it from you on 11/2008 But the cleaning time is getting to me ha ha Ha I love the Taste of the
Juice And it has saved me a lot of money on my Produce, I only use it every two days since I make juice for two days and I can vacuum pack it And two days later it still taste the same It was a great buy, I’m very happy with it thank you John
John. You make a very useful videos. Thank you so much. If I want to juice hasrd veggies, like beets and carrots, and green leaves only what juicer would you recommend?
Hey John just wanted to say that I’m a huge fan of yours, I love your videos they are amazing and unique, I wish I had more time so I can watch them all...Please keep up the good work, I will be buying a juicer from you of course pretty soon...stay safe John🌹✌️
Is the juice darker because it’s more oxidized? Or because it pressed the produce harder and got out more of the chlorophyll and what not?
While that is possible, I highly doubt it. As evidenced by the more brown pulp inside the juicer. Also if you were taste the juices, you would taste the very minor difference in taste. I have juiced 1000s of pounds of produce using many different juicers, and am quite familiar with how oxidized juices taste and look. If I used a champion juicer, it also browns juices, and it is TOTALLY because of oxidation in that juicer that will also make a more brown juice, which is caused by more friction in the creation of the juice. In the old days, champion would advertise this as a more "rich juice".; which I personally dont believe is accurate. If it was more chlophyll, I believe it would be more of a darker green, (not brownish). think wheatgrass juice from a dedicated wheatgrass auger juicer. Some juicers such as the Pure juicer, when I press pulp (from a slow juicer) DOES make a darker juice, because I believe it is extracting more phytonutrients by crushing cell walls. I will make a video about this one of these days.
@@johnkohler8711 do you have a video comparing the Greenstar elite with the Nama juicer or omega vsj843? I’m confused how the nama did so much better in Kristina’s video... unless her Greenstar is just old and doesn’t work well anymore.

IIn my videos, I show the full juicing process, In hers she just shows results. So I Wonder what's going on behind the scenes, personally. One some items, the Nama may perform better than the twin gear, but I have not done side-by-side comparisons yet, although it is on my list.
Great job John. Awesome juice-off!!! Very telling after all the hype.
To be fair he probably wasn't paying attention but he did put some stem first in the omega too, and he did some leaf down in the nama as well. I think he just didn't realizing he was doing it.
I noticed that too on the nama he did alot stem first but did most leaf first on the omega.. that might explain the color difference
Great video, thank you for the education. Will make sure to support you next time I buy a juicer / blender.
Which is easier to clean?
This is a riot!hahaha. Thank you John.Youre the best!
My review on Juicers
I have used 4 juicers to date. One of them Breville Fountain Plus, Omega 365, Omega 1000HDS, and finally Nama.
Breville - Could extract only 50% juice from Produce. Completely inefficient and a waste of money.
Omega 365 - Could extract 70% juice from Produce. A bit of a compromise in terms of efficiency. Biggest Con, Weak parts, broke in 2 months.
Omega 1000HDS - Could extract 90% juice from Produce. Satisfied with efficiency but the con was it could only juice hard vegetables, gets completely stuck with soft produce especially fruits. Only works for vegetables.
Nama 5800 - By far, the best juicer I have used. Extracts up to 90% juice. Works equally good on both vegetables and fruits. Completely satisfied. It does make a squeaking sound now and then. I don't know if it means something but hoping the parts keep up with juicing. Otherwise, I am happy.
I wanted to purchase the omega juicer but not sure anymore 😕😞. I really didn't like the comparison too bias.
How does the two juicerscompare in juicing berries such as aronia berries
One thing about me I'm not sleep I'm wide awake. You said you don't like to feed the vegetables stem down because it can jam the machine up, but I notice you fed the vegetable stem down using the Nama machine which caused it to jam up a little and made the motor sound strange, but when you use the Omega machine you fed the vegetable stem up which made the machine run smooth...WOW what a big disappointment I thought you was going to be fair about Nama vs Omega, but I see I was wrong about you
Mike, Honestly, I get "caught up in the video" and sometimes move too quickly. This was my oversight. That being said, EVEN if juiced the other way, which is not optimal, it doesn't matter THAT much,. The issue is
When you feed stem end first then leaf end, the juicer "gets the crunchy stuff, that works BEST" folled by the softer stuff.
If you feed the stem end first, you get the crunchy stuff first, then the leafy stuff, BUT the next piece, you get the same CRUNCHY stuff first, which in the end accomplishes the same thing.
Also because the nama lettuce was cut into 1/4s there was NOT as much crunchy stem to affect the juicing process as much as on the VSJ843, which each time got 1/2 a crunchy stem.
In any case, I believe IF You purchased BOTH juicers and did this exact comparison, if you DID properly feed "perfectly" each time, you would get similar results that I show.
finally an honest unbiased review. I have been using a centrifugal and I was going to get a Nama because every youtuber and their grandmother is talking about the Nama. I am an engineer and I am pretty skeptical, especially when everyone is saying something is the best.
Hv you considered horizontal models? From a durability & ease of cleaning & versatility standpoint there're unbeatable. All Verticals seems too many downsides. From a 8006 owner.
@@penangtv6108 what horizontal models do you recommend?
@@penangtv6108 oh yay, yet another fng rabbit hole to go down now.
this comparison is kinda messed up. The juice in the nama clearly oxidized more because you overloaded the feeding shoot and had to push it down so it got jammed. and then that's why it took longer to juice. the shoot is that size for a reason. lol if you had just cut it smaller it woulve fit and you would have a fair side by side
Hey! I'm new to juicing and I'm wondering what you consider to be one of the best juicers? I want to juice both fruit and vegetables and I plan to store them for as long as possible
Did you find out??
Does Omega have any plans on releasing a newer version of the VSJ843? I would hate to buy it now and then a newer, nicer models comes out!
Not that I am aware. If they did release a new version, I personally dont see how it could be better than the VSJ843 because newer technology (across all brands) still are not as good (IMO)
Hello i love your videos!!! I watch one a day and learn so much from you. Thank you!!! My vsj843 moves a little bit when its juicing. Not the base of the juicer but the black part. Is that normal for it to move a little during the juicing process?
yes, it is normal to have some movement in the topset while juicing.
John. You make a very useful videos. Thank you so much. If I want to juice hasrd veggies, like beets and carrots, and green leaves only what juicer would you recommend?
I just ordered a nama today. I was so excited. Now reading these comments I’m wondering if I made the right choice. But I’m sure it’s better than the one that I have now but wish I had remembered the omega as I had my eye on it years ago but couldn’t afford it.
Do you like the Nama??
.
I got the omega vsj juicer & after having it a month I just sent it back. It's a good juice but it was jamming a lot. The area were the pulp comes out of wouldn't come out but only a little bit. And that got annoying b/c that would jam the machine. I thought I could get past it but I nope so sent it back. Now I'm thinking of the nama or kuvings.
Hello. I have both NAMA and VSJ. After using both, go VSJ. The nod would go to VSJ in my opinion. Got mine from John. His customer service is top notch. Do yourself a favor. Go Omega VSJ843 from John. Have a good day.
Thank you for a great review. I learned so much. Never even considered an Omega vertical juicer til now!!!
thanks very much for sharing on the Juicer
Dang. I wish I had seen this before. I just got my nama delivered earlier this week. I understand the importance of ease of juicing long term. And I like the greener shade of the juice from Omega. Less oxidation. The 15 year warranty is also preferable. I am going to try out my nama today at lunchtime. As long as it's functioning and reasonably okay, I'll stick to it for now. But next time, I will do more research. I swear their website said that it was very quiet. In this video, it doesn't seem as quiet as I thought.
Another excellent video John !
Thank you for your video, I just purchased the omega juicer and looking forward to receiving.
Are the juicing screens of both juicers made out of stainless steel? What material they are made out of?
I have the Omega, but I kinda felt sorry for the Nama, like it was getting picked on in the school yard. Lol
Hi John, Thank you for this video. I’ve made my decision what juicer to buy and I’m looking forward to living a healthier lifestyle...Love you...Sincerely, Mrs. Jacqueline M...
I really liked the thoroughness of this review as you compared the components of each machine. Where I wish you had changed your comparison method is when you put the romaine lettuce into the juicers. Each manufacturer has recommendations as to how to put vegetables/fruits into the respective machines. When you were demonstrating the Nama, I wish you had cut the romaine up a little bit more so that you didn’t have to use the pusher as frequently because as you pointed out, the chute to the Nama was significantly smaller than the Omega. I think that would have prevented leaves from falling all over the place including into the juice container, as well as getting jammed in the chute because more romaine was put in than the chute could handle. The Nama would have taken even longer had you done that. Last, looks of food do influence our taste. In fairness, I wish you had blind folded your self so that you didn’t know which juice you were tasting. I feel that would have been fairer. That being said, all of the comparison that you did machine to machine, convinced me that if you want juice, I would go with the Omega. Thanks so much for doing this video and sharing.
Over the past 30 years I've had about every juicer out there, but my favorite juicer that I use all the time is my high speed "Juice man" juicer as promoted by Jay Kordich the original Juiceman. It's not the best but it's what works for me. I use mine every day. I only make apple/carrot juice with it daily and it's very good.
An hour and a half. I need a summary of 10 mins or less.
Fast forwarding, past min 6 can't find the actual review.
LOL I gave up after 4 minutes, I am with you. I noticed on his website, they are both the same price. Omega has a stellar reputation but I like the versatility of the Nama juicer, good for nut milks and smoothies as well as juice and sorbet. Did you purchase one?
I watch such videos at 1.5x speed and skip forward as necessary.
@@NamasteTexas but he said u can't do nut milk in the nsma
@@tanshievlogs
Yes you can I just received mine yesterday you can do ice cream sherbet nut milk and juicing
PLEASE, WHAT IS THE BEST JUCIER ON THE MARKET??? NEED TO KNOW AND TRUST YOUR DECISION...Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you for this indepth review. Very informative
JOHN!
Placing order on your site right now. Are all three colors of the VSJ (silver, white, red) the exact same juicer and all made in South Korea?
You're the goat
Hi John, I've been a Subscriber of yours for years! Love, Love, Love the very detailed info you take the time to put out. With that said, I went to your 'Purchase' page & couldn't find this Omega VSJ843 machine for sale. has it been discontinued temporarily? Please advise, I am looking to make a purchase by Friday, Thankyou! & let me know how I can retrieve your answer back to me?
I will re-watch, I have always enjoyed your very detailed info, it helps me in knowing what choices are available. I will re-watch it, I don't know how I missed it. Do you also still purchase your wheatgrass from that nice couple you did a video on?
Hello, I have a quick question about order of operation (which vegetables or fruit in what order) and the Omega we purchased specifically from this review. So far we can’t even make a days worth of juice without the underbelly of the masticating shaft getting packed with remains. Even when processing all items into 1” of smaller pieces. Do you have any advise on this? Thanks so much.
pulp will always fill UNDER the auger when you are done juicing. Please watch

This is an awesome video. I was going to buy the nama. No way. I'll pass. Thanks for your honest review
you should have put the omega juice in a blender to see if you get it to the same color as the Nama
I purchased the VSJ last week from omega website when they were restocked. I'm trying to find out more info on my order (tracking, was it received, anything at this point) and I'm having trouble getting a hold of someone. I've called, emailed, used Facebook and Instagram. Any suggestions? Are they always like thus?
I have the omega and a breville. I never stick with the omega. Cutting everything up, cleaning etc takes A LONG TIME! with the breville I juice consistently. And yes I know the difference between the two. Time is also money...
John would you prefer using the nutramilk over the VSJ for nut milk 🥛. Or stick with the vsj strictly for juicing and use the nutramilk for nut milks.
Each style of making nut milk has its own set of pros and cons.
I like the less parts to clean of the vacuum blender/VSJ to make nut milk.
I like the "richness" and thick and rich taste of the nut milk made in the nutramilk
The nutramilk also provides you a better benefit as you get more fiber in the nut milk than made with the VSJ843.
Nutramilk saves you more money as there are very little waste when you are done.
Of course, if you want the pulp and dry it you can turn it into almond flour for baking gluten free goods. The nutramilk will not provide this.
I suppose it depends on what you like in the end. In general, I personally use the vacuum blender/VSJ843 when making nut milk over the nutramilk. I do use the nutramilk to make nut butter over using a juicer, as it works significantly better.
Thanks for another informative video, John. I bought an Omega 8006 from you years ago, before the vertical masticating juicers came out. It’s never had so much as a hiccup in over 10 years so no complaints from me. My family can do whatever they want with it after I die. 😄
Die? I thought Juice People Live Forever! 😉
@@SDSunriser 😀 😀
I have the Jack Lalane juicer which is still going good for me, my only complain is it cannot juice leafy greens. I observed that you purposely sabotaged the Nama by the way you were putting the leaves in, head first as opposed to leaf first as you said to. I also noticed that you might like the name a lot more than you are letting, because it has way more use than the omega.
John, who do you recommend for best price for the omega vsj
843qs juicer...
Buy your Omega from John!! :)
John what kind oil press do you recommend I need your advice 🙏
Have you done a review of the pure juicer?
Thank you for sharing such detailed information
It is the details for me! Yay!
What does he mean by Low “D” at the end of the video anybody?
Loved your review. Very well done
I got the omega recommended here manufactured June 2020 on ebay. Very light use from previous owner. I was surprised that greens stuck to the underside of the black thing that turns and after parsley and kale I used reverse and it dislodged the whole thing forcing me to take it apart. What a mess! Clean up is not what I expected either. Not sure if this was an exception or if omega is going down hill. Opinion?
Any reviews on a newer juicer for plant milks that don't have a wiping blade?
Hi John can you make video on optimum evolve vacuum blender..
Can you make a video of the latest Hurom juicer? You're videos are the best..
Its on my list to do
What do you do with all the juicer you review?
I drink all the juices I make :) I have a collection of 20+ juicers. I sell juicers that do not perform well.
@@discountjuicers " I sell juicers that do not perform well".
Why?
Low D juice? What’s that?
Low Deuterium, yet another benefit of some green juices I have not yet publicly discussed.
Did you have a part number for the course screen mesh on the omega?
John is the juicer GOAT! Purchased the omega juicer and hands down the best juicer I’ve ever encountered 🙌 Definitely a great investment if you wanna take your health to the next level. I appreciate you John! Thank you for sharing light and knowledge to all of us on your channel 🙌🙏
Can you do the comparison between hurom and nama juice
Watts are not a measure of torque. Watts indicate the power consumption of the motor.
The Nama motor may very well produce more torque than the other one. You'd have to look at the relative torque specifications for each motor to know for sure.
Man, I've been researching juicers for months and can't decide on one. I want one that will be able to do greens so I feel that puts centri's out of the choices. Then going over all the others still can't decide.
fully raw kristina just did i vdeo on the nama juicer and the nama made more juice
I did view that video, and in my expert opinion, it is flawed. Here are some of my thoughts:
1. She does not weight out produce to let you know it is a fair comparison.
2. She juices OFF camera, she could add more or less juice to affect yields.
3. She has a financial relationship with Nama but NOT the other two companies.
4. The other juicer names are taped over. Is she afraid of getting sued for slander? Why else would she tape them over?
In the future, I Will make my own video showing the truth juicing carrots and celery in three different juicers. So subscribe to my channel to be notified when it comes out so people can learn the truth. Im not a gambling man, but I almost guarantee the other two juicers will yield more than she shows, In my personal opinion. Would love to do the juicer comparison with her to ensure it is fair and accurate.
@@discountjuicers I noticed she covered the other juicers names as well...thought that was suspect.
@@sharnetteraye-brown9523 Hello Sharnette, thank you for your feedback. I believe Kristina covers the brands of the other juicers she uses because she does not want to bash on any specific brands out there that is doing their best to encourage a healthier lifestyle! As long as you have a juicer and is juicing everyday, that is all that matters! :)
I just bought the Omega Juicer from Home Depot. The unit working fine:
1. The juice seems sweeter than the Horizontal Juicer H8008C making juice. I have this H8008C almost 3 years.
2. The Unit produces less yield than the H8008C
3. The pulp is finer and less volume than the Juicer H8008C
4. Noise of this machine is quieter than H8008C, Range: 47db - 52db
5. The pulp of VSJ843Q is moist comparing to Juicer H8008C is dried bone.
6. It is easier to clean the juicer H8008C than the juicer VSJ843Q. But no big deal.
I have to return the VSJ843Q juicer because there are No RED color (missing) on the triangles. It is a visual AID for alignment. It is hard to align without the RED color triangles.
The made in China H8008C is the good one for me. Omega customer Service is VERY quick and helpful.
Also, I am trying to understand the advantage of buying from discount juicers over Amazon. Can you please help? How is it different?
You could support a small business that is providing free information that you are apparently consuming or you could line the pockets of a guy with a net worth of over $177 BILLION!!! Come on, people! Support this man! He is knowledgeable and works hard to give unbiased reviews.
@David R He gives you plenty of information to decide on which juicer will meet your needs. Why should John take the loss because somebody decides that juicing is too much bother or something similar?
@David R I understand what you are saying. I have watched so many of John’s videos, I feel that he has answered all of the questions I could possibly have. I placed my order last night with him knowing the juicer cannot be returned after opening. I’m at peace with it.
@Richard Gray Your critique is not fair. Sometimes people don’t truly know a machine until they’ve use it for some time. And no amount of TH-cam videos can replace actual experience. I’ve had frustrations with my Slowstar from using it that I wouldn’t have ever learned if the only knowledge I had was TH-cam vids.
@Ms overcomer We are not talking about returning something that is defective. We are talking about returning something because the customer decides for some random reason that he would like to try out different juicers at John's expense.
What about compared to the nama j2. It is 450 as well.
Thank you for your time and knowledge.
John could you please tell me which slow juicer you going to buy after youve tried most of them. thanks!
For VERTICAL juicers: I would buy the Omega VSJ843. It is the one I come back to after testing all the major brands. See all my videos for comparisons.Full explaination th-cam.com/video/pHvAXTKlrhw/w-d-xo.html
@@discountjuicers Hi, I am a new subbie. Quick question, is the vsj843QR and vsj843qs the same? I want the better one. Thanks so much.
