I have the 8003 and absolutely love it. No complaints from me, except cleanup is a little time consuming. But gonna have to clean which ever one you buy anyways. I love using it to make a mock icecream with frozen bananas too.
Your videos are very well done! Thank you! I do notice a small, very small, amount of yields with the 8006 winning. Even in your NC it did the same. I'm curious if the NC model was dialed to 0 how different it would be to the 8006. I assume the 0 setting is more of a wide open setting for pulp extraction? Again, thank you!
RawNutrition.com Yes, I had to figure this out, cause I had a poor manual for the 8007 (aka J8227S here), what's translated poor in our main language : Dutch.
With my centrifugal juicer I would often re-juice my fiber. What if you were to put your fiber back through again? Would it back up? Is this an experiment I will have to conduct myself?
+Lady McBox You can pass the fiber through again. At some point it may back up due to the texture of the fiber. I would avoid passing wheatgrass fiber through as it is tough once it's been juiced and can break the parts.
protochris Some dealers mention that the housing on the 8007 and 8008 is Eastman Tritan Copolymer and not polycarbonate like on the previous models. However this information is not specifically mentioned on Omega's website. BPA in hard plastics like polycarbonate is generally an issue when high heat is involved as it can cause the BPA to leech out of the plastic into the food. When juicing fruits and vegetables in a slow turning juicer no heat is generated so there should be no leeching of BPA into the juice.
+protochris This can become an issue if you are washing your plastic components in the dishwasher. You shouldn't wash them in the dishwasher though, not just because of the BPA risk but also because pieces can warp from the heating and cooling.
I have read MANY bad reviews on the NC800/900 series. A lot of people are complaining about it so now I am considering the 8008.

That is correct. 0 is open and 5 is the tightest position.

Thanks for the review! I think I will go with the 8006. I believe you :-) , but it looks like that 8006 yielded more juice, than 8007.
Isn't the 8007 BP free, and just how important is it to be BP free?
