Very helpful video: methodical, logical, and balanced - a comparison fit for a scientist :) Really great that you're an advocate for that 15-year warranty, just really impressed all around with what you're doing. Just clicked your link (with discount) and bought mine. Thanks John!
Please tell me if the Nama j2 is better than the horizontal omega masticating juicer . Thanks
John, I am new to juicing and can't thank you enough for your detailed videos. After going through many of your videos, I have decided to purchase the Nama J2 with your code.
Thank you again!
I’ve been going round and round and finally ordered my NAMA J2 yesterday!! The ease of not having to push through every price and that warranty on all parts of the juicer can’t be beat!!
Thanks for the review! We are enjoying our NAMA J2. And look forward to your future videos.
Hey John! I love my Nama J2. I upgraded a few months ago and wish I had your coupon code. I am looking forward to juicing my homegrown vegetables with it. Love your detailed comparisons. I upgraded from a centrifugal juicer to a slow juicer years ago because of your videos! Keep up the great work.
After seeing your TH-cam channel, I have decided to send my Nama J2 back and purchase the Omega Effortless instead I had heard of that juicer and I own an omega. Thank you for showing it and the deciding factor for me was the extraction cup you don’t need a brush to scrub food particles out all you do is rinse it out. That was a win-win for me. Also, the Omega has a stronger warranty.
The omega has more than 15 years warranty?
Hi John, I have been using a J2 based on your comparisings since 2 years, fully satisfied. Now, after watching your tests with H400 and present Omega models I am very happy with my J2.
Thanks for very detailed corrects tests! BR Zsolt/Hungary.
I was very close to buying an Omega Juicer. I watched this video and it was the first time I had even heard of Nama. This video was my deciding factor that Omega was out and the Nama J2 was the juicer I wanted. Just got my Nama J2 in today. Setup was simple. Used it for the first time and was very impressed. I didn’t even need to look at the directions since I watched quite a few of your videos on this item. Thanks for going into such detail about the products.
Thank you for this great comparison and for the helpful coupon code. Although both juicers look great, I chose to buy the Nama due to its reputation for being able to gracefully process celery, wheatgrass and other greens. I don't have room (nor the pocketbook!) for two juicers, so I am willing to go through the extra work of preparing the celery and wheatgrass properly, while still being able to juice multiple veggies, fruits, and greens in the same machine. I put my old auger type juicer to rest by irreversibly clogging the mechanism while juicing ginger. The machine was too old (30 years or so, and had a good productive life!) to be able to get replacement parts. I am looking forward to this new way of juicing!
I appreciate the seasoned opinion of an industry insider. Currently deciding between Nama j2, omega effortless batch, and huron h300. This video helps tremendously! Leaning towards Nama J2
Bought the Nama2 juicer from your site. It's a good juicer. The major PLUS about this juicer is that it's FAST. You can juice a lot in a short time frame. However, extraction for me, is poor. Carrot pulp still wet. Apple pulp...wet!! Let's not even talk about oranges.
I had an Omega (horizontal) juicer before and the extraction was amazing! Pulp was 95% dry. I'm not worried about speed when juicing so I returned my Nama2 and will be buying an upgraded Omega Juicer.....horizontal.
Thanks for this feedback.
I loved my Omega horizontal one when I bought it. The problem was, it took so long to use that I didn't use it. I think in general, horizontal juicers seem to extract more juice. Personally, I need a faster juicer, one that can take care of itself while I do other things and I don't have to stand there and feed it. I returned my Omega. These batch juicers are time savers, but may not be as good. For me though, I need that extra time. I am hoping that they can somehow in the near future figure out how to make a batch juicer with the horizontal juicer technology. That would be perfect.
Clearly he’s taking a cut on purchases. Fake reviews. Shame. Throwing his reputation away for a few bucks.
@@andreaanonymous5474 I agree! The nama juiced in 60 seconds!!!!! Listen, that was gold! But, I just feel horrible knowing it not extracting all the juice. Both juicers are great but like you stated, you got to buy what works for you. You, it's speed, me, extraction. If the nama remakes their juicer and it's extracts like the omega, I'll buy again. OR if the omega figure out a way to allow you to juice efficiently without compromising extraction, I'm upgrading 😁.
Which Omega juicer would you guys recommend?
John I've been a customer and viewer since 2012 and though I've taken a break from juicing I'm back and will be looking forward to getting anothe juicer. My Omega 8006 is still going strong but I'll be passing it on to my mom who's dealing with stage 4 cancer. So, obviously I'll be needing a replacement juicer. I refer anyone to your channel when shopping for juicers because your vids are so comprehensive giving real world use cases- even cleaning tips. You were always helpful if I ran into an issue with my juicer and I really appreciate your customer service efforts. Thanks for all you contribute to making us that much healthier.
Sorry to hear about your mom. Is she following the Gerson protocol? Also, how is the omega juicer holding up for you?
Thanks for this video I was undecided between the omega and the nama. I just purchased the namaj2 using your code!! Thanks so much for your detailed review.
I have been waiting for this comparison!❤❤❤
Thank you John Kohler you’re the best possible juicing guide & knowledgeable teacher! The education & guidance and you , are heartfuls of truly sharing with each and every nuance of each machine so well covered just wonderful info. you’re truly a spectacular human being ! So dedicated ! Thank you for all the ongoing generosity , practicality and easy to understand details covered & machines compared even to the lfirst and last drop ! A Million Kudos and Best of Health and Longevity To You!!!
The video I have been waiting for!! After you said in the comments that it would be a bit before this video was done I went ahead and ordered the J2 using your discount code. This video may be a bit late for me, however; seeing the two tone celery juice melted away any second thoughts that I may have had.
Thanks John for all the great content!! I watched a lot of your videos lately and got into juicing with Hurom H-AI. Perfect juicer for my needs :)
That was a great comparison, thank you. I purchased an Omega Effortless because I could buy it on Amazon and they weren't selling the Nama J2. I had been using a Breville Juice Fountain Elite and while the Breville is a fast juicer, it produced very little waste. The Omega leaves large chunks, at least in my machine. It would have been interesting to see if the Nama left any waste in the machine. At the end of the day, I bet it's six of one and half a dozen of the other. I will stick to my Omega and break out the Breville every now and again.
Just order Nama J2 using your code, thanks for all the great comparison help me make my mind!
I literally searched your channel last week for this comparison. Nice timing sir 😊
I love the Omega. Thanks for your review.

Would you say these are masticating juicers? Or centrifuges?
Did I miss the discarded fiber comparison which is drier? That’s the only thing I focus on
I appreciate the review comparison. I am getting closer to a decision based on all the juicers reviews I am seeing.
Thanks for this video...I just bought my first Nama Juicer, will be here on Wednesday ❤
John, thanks for reviewing the Omega, I was one of the people that requested it. I noticed you didn't take apart the juicers to see which one would be easier to clean or if any or how much material didn't get juiced.
Alan, the video was getting long enough. I showed the parts in this video. In some ways the Omega is easier to clean, but in some ways the Nama. I explain this when I share all the different parts. While the screen/auger on the nama may take more time, the bowl is easier to clean, with the Omega the auger will take less time, but the bowl will take more time. Both machines left pulp in the machine that was unjuiced. I would say the Omega left a tad bit more.
He is bias to the Nama...they are paying him off ..so he is going to promote that over any other
Wonderful, informative video!
Great as always, John.
So helpful. Thank you.
Okay this video was very clear he was pushing nama juicer. The nama juicer got a head start to juicing celery.
While This was the first time I was using the Omega Effortless Batch Juicer, to me this model looks to be IDENTICAL to the Hurom H300 that I had tested previously in the episode th-cam.com/video/-kh0EDAmDEw/w-d-xo.html and in that episode, it did not do too great either. That being said, I am here to share the pros and cons of each juicer so the viewer can decide the best juicer for their needs. I share much "insider information" that you wont hear on other channels.
@@discountjuicersI’ve been thinking about getting the Nama J2 but I already have the OmegaVert 350. Was looking for a comparison between the two on ur channel. I’m still looking. Do you have a comparison in your videos?
Thank you for your very extensive video comparison. I was going to buy the Omega because I have the horizontal Omega 8600. I love that thing. But I don't have time to cut these veggies!!! I decided to purchase the Nama J2 and I am grateful for your discount code, it saved me a bit of coin. The additional savings allowed me to also buy the sorbet attachment. I am excited to get back into juicing. I appreciate your content and time.
Excellent video as always. Looking forward to a comparison between the Nama vs the new Hurom H400.
The Nama J2 hands fown is the winner. Thanks a bunch for the comparanson😊
WOW… this is an excellent video! Incredible! Thank you for the link to Nama! The evidence is all there.
I torn…..but will stick with Omega as I’ve had my vertical for about 6 years and no problems and never had to make a call so I don’t care about customer service. I am ready for a new one however so I’ll give another Omega a try when it goes on sale.
$399.99 at Costco until 2/4/2024 if you are someone you know has a Costco card.
I've been waiting for this video
Great comparison video! Thank you for posting.
I just juiced 5lbs carrots, 1 head of celery, 3 oranges, 4 apples, 2 lemons and a piece of ginger in my Omega VRT... chucked entire stalks of celery in and rotated between the soft apple, lemon and orange halves and the harder carrots and celery. No jams, no clogs and the machine just chugged right through it. 1/2" to 3/4" pieces is crazy.... these machines are workhorses.. let em work!
Which Omega vrt?
@@TheFriendlyPsychopath VRT 350... it's a workhorse slow speed juicer!
@@pesto12601 That's the one I have, do they have a upgraded version of it?
@@TheFriendlyPsychopath they might.. but I'm still using the original I purchased 15 years ago.. still going strong and no need for these "bell and whistles"... it literally clogs like once every 10 times I use it and I don't cut my produce - if it fits in the shoot.. it goes in! The motor just cranks through it and the screen is very tough.
@@pesto12601 I never had a problem with mine either,. It's just a pain in the neck all the prep work and then the clean up afterwards.
Amazing.
Thanks a lot for all the EFFORTS made to make us Happier.
I would like to recommend to make them WIRELESS WITH RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES.
I will start to a seller for the Company.
CONGRATS FOLKS
Great work! Thanks John
Ive watched your video of the juicers i was interested in and in my opinion i think the nama is better for what ill use it for. Thanks for these detailed videos and helping me decide. 😊
The NAMA J2 seems like the cat's meow or bees' knees of juicing today, with a moderate $500) price tag for suer kitchen appliance for our health.
Thanks for a good video comparison. The Hurom is very similar to the NAMAJ2, both being made in the same Korean factory. I got very lucky and bought on eBay an Angel commercial mini juicer and love it. It makes 40% more juice out of the same amount of produce as many juicers. Every time I drink its juice I instantly think of its being like drinking PAINT because the pigments and mineral flavors are so rich from superior extraction. That means more minerals and deepest taste.
The household Angels still have all stainless steel contact which is great, plus a slow speed for little oxidation.
I have had most juicers: Acme, Miracle, Champion, Breville, Omega, and even a Norwalk press, the predecessor of the PURE juice press which has a few subtle improvements over the Norwalk. I also had a GoodNature Juice It hydraulic press with built-in grinder which made fantastic juices.It had been used in a grocery store setting.
Going for the ultimate I hopped up 2 Champion juicers with bigger motors (3/4 and 2hp) and used them as superman grinders before pressing. I also rigged one with a 1/2 hp slower speed motor with a variable speed controller for soft fruits- by themselves without an added step of pressing the pulp, these 3 make fantastic, pigment-mineral rich juices. Champions have an auger with hundreds of tiny teeth which really rip open fibers of produce. ..Too bad they quit making them. They do spin faster- usually 1725 rpm, and my hopped up ones spun at 3450 rpm's for the big 2hp, 1725 rpms for the 3/4 hp and 100-500 rpm's for the variable speed 1/2 hp. All were fun experiments and make super juices with double the pigments and minerals of centrifugal juicers.
I created a manual press I used after pre-grinding produce which makes 1 GALLON of juice per stroke, not the 1 PINT made per stroke on a Norwalk or PURE. That diminuitive quantity was my only disappointment with those- they make way too small a quantity of juice for such a complicated 2-step session, albeit high quality. I may market it one day. Talk about 'batch juicing' with juice of the highest order of quality. We'll see.
I like the simplicity of the NAMA J2 which edged out the Hurom in John Kohler's Discount Juicers video comparison. Anyway, I tell you all of this because this is an interesting subject: juicers, juice presses and getting the maximum possible nutrition out of produce.
“and bought on eBay an Angel commercial mini juicer and love it. It makes 40% more juice out of the same amount of produce as many juicers.“
Surely not 40% more compared to J2, VSJ, NC900, GSE which are all far under $1000?
Also, there are those who believe juicing with the best plastic is better healthwise than juicing with stainless steel. . I haven’t seen any scientific analysis of this question.
Great juice off ! Thanks John !
I’d like to know which pulp was more wet. Thank you for this video.
Just got the omega
Thanks,John for yet another excellent video comparison. In your 'Show More' you may want to correct your link which should read 'https' rather than 'http'
This juicer is not getting the accolades it deserves.Cheaper and better than Hurom and Nama J2 that is so hyped!I have been batch juicing like crazy since i got it.And the best part?Cleanup is REALLY a breeze!!Awesome product OMEGA!!🎉
I agree! Omega juicers have stood the test of time! I'm going to invest in the Omega Effortless!
For those who feel the Nama has a little wetter pulp than other horizontal or twin gear juicers like the Omega or Anjel, you must understand that the whole point of the Nama is the ease of use and time saving with the self feeding design.
I currently own the 2 most efficient juicers I the world, the Norwalk Juicer and the Angel juicer, however it takes so long and a lot of effort to juice in both machines.
You have to push each piece of produce into the machine one piece at a time.
Pushing a carrot into the Angel juicer takes lots of muscle and effort.
I just ordered a Nama J2, and since I already own the Norwalk press, if I find the pulp from the Nama wet I will simply press out the extra juice with my Norwalk press.
“and since I already own the Norwalk press, if I find the pulp from the Nama wet I will simply press out the extra juice with my Norwalk press.“
Makes a lot of sense to pair up these two machines. . Plus if you also want to do a shot of some supreme, pristine, green juice, you can just spread a thick layer of fresh-picked organic kale and romaine lettuce (after a rainy night in the garden) in the Norwalk or Pure. . And press away.
@@heliocentric9971 yes.
When I juiced carrots and apples in the Nama, when I tried to press the pulp in my Norwalk Juicer I got very little juice out of it not really worth it.
Probably only good for high water content produce like cucumbers Tomatoes Etc.
@DougMav
If you ever do a small batch of cucumber & tomato in your Nama, and then put the pulp in the Norwalk to recover more juice, I’d like to hear whether or not you think that was a worthwhile thing to do, i.e., a good payback for your time & effort.
Which produces more yield for fruit juice and green juice is it the omega vertical style juicer or omega batch horizontal
Nama customer service far surpasses Omega hands down! The customer gets a personal email and communication within a few hours. Always willing to help and customer service is in USA locally...no out of country issues with customer service... I own several Omega juicers and have gotten my issues resolved over time. Omega had better CS in the past but with the number John gives customer to call your issues can be resolved.
I’m still torn. I like no metal screen on the omega but sounds more a pain to clean. I have 3, yes 3, omega horizontals. Batch juicing is much needed in my house.
In some past comparison vids, I felt you did have some bias with Nama, but this was actually a very thorough, fair, and excellent review. The Omega (also made in the Hurom factory in Korea) is basically like the Hurom H400 and Nama J2 had a baby. I have the Hurom H400 with the 2 piece auger and while I love the minimal pieces, wonderful ease of cleaning the auger, and super quick assembly... it puts way too much pulp in my juice and for that, I'm willing to spend 3-5 more minutes cleaning. The Omega & H400 also have that same super tiny pulp hole, not a fan when doing green juices, because if that gets clogged and pulp isn't flowing, it will back up into the juice. The only additional thing I wish you would have shown was a pulp moisture squeeze test and weighing the pulp totals in the containers, but other than that, this was an excellent review, thank you!
I still use my tried-and-true Omega horizontal auger, which never clogs, not matter what I throw at it. I've run 10 lbs. of stuff through it before in one session. Also, easy to clean, with a small screen. No wonder John said in an old video, that this is the juicer that he got his parents to use. .. easy peasy lemon juicing.
The NC900 looks like the “last of the tribe” not made in China.
In Europe there is Hurom h400 now. It looks like improved h300 mixed with h200. H400 is the hiest hurom model yet. I'm waiting for your opinion about it John. Thank you.
Great video… those are some nice machines
A true professional comparison video.👌
Loool at the 40:45 mark he tried to open the Omega with one hand and said "as you can see it's more difficult to open the Omega" then opened the Nama with 2 hands and said "as you can see it's much easier to open the Nama". 😂
I liked your comparison of which one is the better son!
Thanks
I wanted you to test the wetness.
Good to see the technology of the 2 piece plastic screen is improving, less pulp in the juice, would love to see a comparison of the Huron H400.
One advantage of the Omega is a 15yr warranty on the parts compared to 2 year with the Nama. I know there's been issues with Omega customer service but hopefully that will improve.
H400 Looks to have same juicing mechanism as the H300 but has a "hidden" look and much smaller hopper. 2L vs 550ml according to specs.
The Nama J2 now has a 15 year warranty on the MOTOR and PARTS (after much debate with Nama). They upped the parts warranty to 15 years last month.
Very big news, indeed, can you add a scrolling banner near the beginning, middle, and end of the video?
I would pick the Omega.
can you please review the Hurom H400 vs Nama J2
Thank you so much for your excellent demonstrations. I appreciate your knowledge and tips
Costco currently has the Omega juicer on sale until 2/4 for 399--
Thank you for the demonstration. Are the plastic on both juicers BPA free? Some reviews mentioned that the Nama J2 leaves very wet pulp, which could generate more juice. Also which one cleans easier?
Both Juicers use the same materials - Eastman Tritan and Ultem for the auger/Screen as far as I am aware. These plastics are generally considered free of BPA based on testing I have seen. On easier to clean. It depends on you. Each have their own pros and cons. I consider them a "wash" or take about the same time. From 3-5 minutes, depending on how well you actually "Wash". I do not recommend a quick rinse of parts, as you will get mineral and phytonutrients build up on parts that can reduce their effectiveness over time.
Would love to see a video on the Sana 868. Thx.
The Sana 868 is basically the Kuving EVO820. Kuvings makes it for Sana and as far as I can see has the same specs, but may look a bit different. See how the Nama J2 compares against the EVO820 at th-cam.com/video/pDsgwi9NYuc/w-d-xo.html
John the omega is exactly like the hurom 300
After viewing your channel on TH-cam, I had both machines trying to decide on which one I should get the mega effortless or the nama J2 I went with Omega effortless not only did I get 20% off for the memorial day weekend & save me $110. I didn’t have to pay tax or shipping the highest you can get off of Nama j2 was $55 which equals out to 10% off.and you also had to pay tax.
I've been using Omega for over 15 years -- great machines. I'm sure the Nama is good as well too.😀
Surely, if price is the MOST important factor to you, then maybe the Omega will be less expensive in many cases. Of course in this video I share other factors that may be MOST important to some people when considering a juicer purchase, such as the company, the warranty, the performance of the machine, etc.
I am wondering, would the Omega have juiced the celery faster if you cut it up to the recommended approx 1 inches? 43:47 So thankful for your comprehensive information!😊
It might have been a little faster, but the issue is the speed at which the auger turns and how it funnels the produce into the machine.
Why isn't the Nama J2 sold on Amazon?
Great video John. How do find these juicers handle leafy greens as compared to my Omega horizontal juicer?
Horizontal Juicers in my mind always juice leafy greens better than verticals, inherent due to the design and the less space between the auger and juicing screen. However, I juice greens all the time in my Nama J2 because its much easier, and does a sufficient job for me. See th-cam.com/video/xjIO-geOlAU/w-d-xo.html as I can juice alot more produce faster in the J2 since I dont have to push each item in.
I have an original omega vertical juicer. What I don’t like about it is cleaning the screen. It’s a hassle to push and pull those parts out and the dishwasher doesn’t do well with it either. Would you also happen to have an omega juicer code? I’d like to try this new tech :)
Btw Great review John!
How do I get the Nama Juicer in dual voltage ? I do live in the USA but I would like to have it with me while traveling to South America - please do give me your advise on this
Thank you
I have owned both of these machines and returned both of them. I went to having the omega 1000HDS premium to homogenize and then a sana hydraulic press to press the homogenize. This combo makes gerson therapy juice 👀 but has taken over 5 hours for 3 days worth of juice. I think that I am going to re order the Nama J2 because of how much time I save. Yes. THE PULP IS WET. This directly equates to waste of time, energy, resources… in a hungry world. So I will take only the waste of nama J2 and press the remainder. This way you have your quick and easy juice and then the press of the waste will give you gerson therapy quality juice. Another thing might mention is that the nama j2 made way too much foam for me. The omega effortless was worse. It clogged more too. Both clogged though. Nama I would have to take apart and unjam quite often. Going to pro and con my options and reorder everything. I have owned over 10 juicers. I do the research, and I think very carefully before executing. Best tasting juice that isn’t pressed is the sana 727 which is just a premium version of the omegas premium horizontal nc1000hds but it’s vertical so both these take forever. Any other juicers that you think might compare to these, or this combo… please send me a message!
What if you could put something like the best commercial centrifugal juicer in a Nitrogen Box (to prevent oxidation)?
Has anybody ever tried to design something like this?
Hurom ... manufactures parts for Omega and Nama is the Hurom version for the US Market
That is not entirely correct. The Hurom Factory in Korea produces juicers for many of the TOP brands out there, including Omega, Nama, and Sana here In the USA. While they make the juicers, the companies in the USA are responsible for selling them and are separate companies. Nama is NOT owned by Hurom, they have a business partnership. Hurom USA sells the juicers that Hurom Korea manufactures... That being said, Most Omega Juicers these days are made in China, not in the Hurom factory, with few exceptions, including the Effortless Batch Juicer, VSJ843, NC800, and NC900. Hurom has its own versions of the vertical self-feeding juicer in the USA that are a much different design than the Nama J2. Hurom's models are a screen-less design that is similar to the Omega Effortless Batch Juicer.
I have a Nama J2 that I got from one of your videos. Thank you for the discount. By the way I do Love this Jucier! Can the Nama J2 juice Wheatgrass? If so how should it be cut?
YES! It can juice wheatgrass, watch my video and duplicate what I do; th-cam.com/video/qMuf0fjWXDk/w-d-xo.html
Hello John, thanks for your reviews. Could you recommend a Cold press juicer for a Juice bar? with maximum nutrients yield in mind
I deal with mostly home juicers myself. The two best NSF certified juicers for a juice bar are something like a GOOD NATURE press that will get the highest yield and good nutrition. or the Kuvings CS700 model, that will have less yield, but in many cases more nutrition IMO. You can see my videos on the CS700 at th-cam.com/video/p37hcMDl6wM/w-d-xo.html
Someone gifted me a Nama J2 for Christmas and I love it! However, the auger won't go into the screen, spin basket unless I work and work at it(it gets stuck, horribly while trying to get it all the way in). I've googled and don't see any videos about this. John, do you have any info on this?
YES. Happened to a few of my customers. This may be caused by some defective parts that were out of spec that happened on a few machines. If this is the case, contact nama customer support, and they should replace under warranty for the original purchaser (which means your friend may need to contact them)
The Hurom 300 also requires the 3 cm cut
I live in Vietnam and own the Hurom H300. I believe it is the exact same machine as the Omega, part for part, and I love it. I tried ordering the Nama J2 from Nama earlier this year, but due to trade restrictions, Nama was not allowed to ship the unit here. Now here's the best part, I was able to purchase the Hurom H300 in Vietnam on Lazada, an Amazon-like online shopping service here and it was shipped to my door for a grand total of $269.00 USD.
Hum the no screen on the omega is definitely interesting. My problem with the screen is that it’s hard to clean some times fruit does stay in holes.
Very interesting that you dont weigh the pulp in any of your tests. You weigh the strained part from the juice, but the pulp is what the juicer supposedly squeezed out. Why wouldnt you weigh the fiber pulp to see how much water it retained?
With the j2 can you put a full orange unpeeled or do you have to peel
It first?
Technically the Nama J2 CAN juice orange with the peel. However, the peel has undigestible chemicals we can not digest and can make us sick, and give you stomach discomfort. So I recommend peeling the orange or minimally removing the orange coloring, but keep as much as the white pith as possible. It is best to cut oranges in half or quarters so that you can more effectively load up the hopper.
I keep hearing different things about the pulp being wet and not extracting all of the juices. Have you had any experience with either of these machines being better or worse in this department?
Pulp wetness is completely subjective. For one person they will say the pulp is wet, for some dry. I prefer to compare yields, which will show how effective the juicer was compared to another juicer so the person has a measure of effectiveness. Of course, each produce may leave more wet or more dry pulp. For example, leafy greens and celery leave a more dry pulp, and if you use the technique I show in the celery nama j2 video th-cam.com/video/L77lEb1F2G0/w-d-xo.html (rejuicing the pulp) it gets it even dryer. However if you juice straight cucumbers, the pulp will be more wet in the j2 as well as other slow juicers. Unless you juice cukes with jicama or carrots or another root veggie, and that will help the machine get the softer fruit pulp more dry;. Only the Pure Juicer ($2500) will get the pulp bone dry every single time. See the J2 vs Pure juicer video at th-cam.com/video/r9Bmb85ycOQ/w-d-xo.html
These types of horizontal juicers give better yield for juicing fruit. It would have been much more of an appropriate test for you to compare just juicing oranges or grapefruit juice versus the root vegetables you juiced
John, how do these juicers compare when juicing items that are wet like citrus, pineapple, cucumber and tomatoes? How do they compare with wheatgrass, kale, spinach etc?
It would depend on the specific item. In the past when I used cucumbers in the H300 (same as Omega effortless) it backed up. In addition, softer fruits are likely to be less effective and have more pulp when juiced in the Screen-less design, in my views, but I would need to further testing.
Nama j2 for the win!🥳
What juicer is best with cane and celery.
What juicer is good for celery and cane?
The omega juice looks darker. Which makes me think has more nutrients in it.
You are free to have any observations you would like to believe, for sure. That being said to me, in the celery juice, it definitely tasted more "bitter/strong" and due to the increased processing time, I believe the darker color is due to more oxidation/enzymatic reactions that IMO lowers phytonutrients.
I just bought the nama j2 and yes it's fast, but I was bummed about how wet the pulp is. I thought it would be saving me money by extracting more juice than my $100 omega juicer. Not the case. Also it leaves a lot of pulp in the juice And the juice separates pretty quickly.
Just to clarify and get an understanding... you're saying your $100 omega juicer is better than the nama j2 ....very curious... looking for a GOOD juicer but don't wanna waste money either...thank you
@@brownsugabradley9699 If you are a daily juicer or high volume juicer and want to save time with the nama you could juice twice as much in half the time, but in every other aspect I think there was nothing else that was outstanding about the nama that you couldn't get from a less expensive juicer. I did buy my omega second hand so that's why it was $100, but works great. I think normally they're closer to $300, but still half the cost of a nama j2.
I owned an omega and a breville and disagree with you in all aspects. This Nama worked circles around my 8006 omega. Just saying it’s all perspective. As long as you’re happy with what you have
I have the SAME PROBLEM with Nama2!! I was very surprised how wet my pulp was even when juicing carrots. I just returned mines a few days ago. I had a an Omega juicer (horizontal one) and the pulp was dry!
For Nama2 costing $500, I expected more extraction.
@@sosheseeks thank you for the info... will definitely look into/research more juicers
To take a temperature on the juice adds more info on nutrients
I have not done temp testing on juices in some time. Maybe I should revisit. With these two machines there will not be a significant difference in temperature. th-cam.com/video/oXuVrab9Mxs/w-d-xo.html
You should put pulp in opposite units to see if the yield height is due to pulp……
Did they come out with the sorbet attachment that’s included in the price?
The Nama J2 Now has the sorbet attachment available. While the Smoothie Screen is included with the Nama J2, the Sorbet attachment is a $50 optional part. You can save 10% off the price of the part or juicer by using coupon code HANDSFREE10 at HTTP://www.bit.ly/j2juicer
The nama j2 has brighter green juice
This is an excellent comparison. I would have liked to see you clean both machines after juicing, to complete the comparison. I literally just unpacked my new Omega batch juicer and was watching this video while washing my produce. I'm concerned about the cleaning difficulty of the Omega, even though they promote it as "easy to clean". After reading the manual, I was tempted to return. The manual explains how you have to clean all the silicone "packing" seal components. When they referred to them as "packing", I thought I was supposed to remove them, but the manual explains that these seals are "consumables" and they recommend replacing them every 6-12 months!! Does the Nama J2 have similar components? I am not sure I made the right choice, but I had a $150 Amazon rewards credit, so I went with the Omega. I use a different juicer (Omega J8006HDC) for celery juice. I could still return the Omega. Help me decide?
Hey Pamela, Honestly, cleaning is a "wash" as the bowl as I explain in this video is a bit more difficult, while the nama j2 screen and wiping blade are more difficult but the bowl is easier. I feel the Omega will show more stains over time due to the design, personally. There are two silicone parts in the J2, the pulp flap and there is a silicone gasket that lines the pulp flap trap door. I am not sure of the official word from Nama, but I would say these are NOT consumable and should last quite a while. You may lose the pulp flap, which can be purchased from nama for $3 should you need one.
Keep the Omega
Hey John, can the vaccum craft work on the nama ????
You can not juice under vacuum with any juicer on the market at this time. You can vacuum save your juices after you make it. You can also use a vacuum blender to vacuum juice if that is what you want to do.
What is the ultimate juicer in regards to quality of juice
For Quality of Juice, hands down, the winner is vacuum juicing. See th-cam.com/video/CSyS8QJfMNs/w-d-xo.html where I share this.
I noticed that you said that the Nama J2 juicer has 24 hour service. I tried calling today 5/20/23 in the a.m. and a 24 hour service is no longer available. The service now is only Monday through Friday.
How about cleaning? Which one will win?
They are so similar in cleaning. As I explain when showing all the parts, you are trading off cleaning the screen, for cleaning a two-piece auger and a juicing bowl that is more deep and has more nooks and crannies to clean. It also depends if you are just rinsing them off (which I do not recommend) vs properly washing them with soap and a brush. I estimate both take me about 4 minutes to clean.
I have a Omega auger juicer, I have a VitaMix...Do I really need or want another $500+ machine? Too bad I cant convert the Vitamix to vacuum, If I use both these machines, I get the best of hard and soft juicing. But too much air in the VitaMix.
Many Vitamix models can be converted to vacuum see th-cam.com/video/O9dbDd84Ey4/w-d-xo.html
Honestly, I would upgrade your Vitamix to a vacuum blender before I bought another juicer, since you already own an omega.
At over $200, I'll wait for a model that has a $15 lid and a tube with a $12 vac pump. LOL, but thanks for all your hard work, I bought my original Omega from you maybe 18 years ago!! If the lid was even priced at $100, I would easily buy it. But I think the extra $130 is a vegan lifestyle penalty charge, LOL, like many vegan things. Folks vegan diet is not just for the pocket rich, its also for the pocket poor and mentally rich!!@@discountjuicers
Are they suitable commercial jucers?
These are not certified for commercial use. Some home customers use the Nama J2 to make juice and sell it. Keep in mind the nama j2 has a 30 minute recommended duty cycle, although I have used it for 1 hour at a time, after which it must have at least an equal amount of time to cool down.
Were can i get one
