    Just wanted to thank you for all your videos. I just got my Omega 8004 yesterday. Thanks for the quick delivery; I ordered the juicer on Thursday and it was on my doorstep on Monday. Just had my first green juice from it.

    while you can do this, if you put pulp thru the vrt, it may actually work worse, as the vrt will not be able to push the soft pulp thru the juicer.. on some juicers, choppping things up may be beneficial. The produce I used in this video was BABY produce, and very tender, so s-blading would not be recommended.

    Another solid juice off from John. I've never tried straight up greens in my VRT juicer and I was surprised to see just how much foam is created.

    The 8006 is more effective when juicing straight leafy greens in my test. I do have a video showing the 8006 makes 25% more juice when juicing ONLY leafy greens.

    Each juicer has their own pros and cons. I have other videos where I compare the GSE to the single auger juicers I show in this video. Overall, the GSE will yield more when juicing hard vegetables and fruits than the single auger juicers. the GSE will also make a higher nutrient quality in the juice.

  • @discountjuicers

    Its a centrifugal ejection style juicer. They are juicers and they work to get people to drink juice. That being said, overall I prefer slow rpm juicers, that maximize the nutrition and yield more on leafy green vegetables.

    I have friends that eat the pulp as a salad after adding a dressing or raisins. Some people use it for baking, for eye masks, I feed mix it with dog kibble to feed my dog. Some people dehydrate it into crackers. You can feed it to your worms to make worm castings for gardening.. Most of the time I just compost it to build fertility of my garden soil.

    I went with the Omega vert 350hd after watching all of you're videos on it, it makes amazing green juices and everything else as far as I'm concerned :)

    All single auger juicers may be prone to auger scrape. Please see

    Hi John you have inspired me to purchase 2 Omega juicers, the 8004 and a BMJ 390 Big Mouth. I love what you do and I always look forward to seeing your next video. I have a question. Why when you are doing demo videos and juice offs why do you usually use a store bought container of greens when you have a HUGE garden? Just wondering. Listen to this Man People. He is the real deal. I have never rated anything on the internet before. John truly inspires Me and my family to live better.

    Thanks John, enjoyed this video. I'm going to get the 8006

  • @discountjuicers

    Most fruits and vegetables that can be juiced can be juiced in the vrt if you prepare them properly.

  • @discountjuicers
    @discountjuicers  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I havent specifically juiced only 1 bunch of kale in the 8006 plain. So I dont know the answer. If you have both juicers, I recommend you making a video juicing 1 bunch of kale in each juicer to show people the results!

  • @reggoler
    @reggoler 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks John! It arrived this week and I am really pleased with it! It is quiet and pretty much self feeding (I've only had to use the pusher once!). I like the fact that it comes with 2 screens so you can decide how pulpy you want your juice. Cheers!

  • @steveman223

  • @discountjuicers
    @discountjuicers  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Often times they are more consistant (size/weight) than the food I am growing. On many occasions, I also use the produce from my garden.

    great video! ..and I'm so glad to see my juicer come out on top :)

  • @discountjuicers
    @discountjuicers  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    This can happen if you are not rotating produce properly and/or feeding too quickly. It can also happen if you are not preparing the produce properly. I always try to end juicing in the vrt with hard produce, ie: carrots to minimze this effect.

    Hej John I love you man. Keep up good work so I can learn from the best. Greetings from Poland. PS. Today I bought my Omega 8006, delivery man gonna bring it to me tomorrow, I'm so excited xD

  • @discountjuicers
    @discountjuicers  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    the best thing to do is to contact omega directly at 1 800 633 3401. Their website may not be updated with the latest inventory status.

  • @justgivemethetruth

    Love these juice-offs!
    One thing I notice about the 8006 is that when I clean it there is often smashed up greens that collect around the auger ... actually quite a bit most of the time.

    while the twin gears will juice leafy greens, they tend to create alot of foam. They do best when juicing hard veggies and leafy greens.

  • @EarthAngelinKC
    @EarthAngelinKC 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    John, have you ever used or tested the Nutri Bullet? I was watching the infomercial and it looks similar to the Magic Bullet. Would be good to use when traveling or on the road.
    Love watching your videos ~ very educational. Thanks for all the good info.

  • @discountjuicers
    @discountjuicers  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    This video only compared single auger juicers. I have other videos where I juice only greens in the greenstar.

    Thanks. Non-organic vegetables may also have miticides.

  • @tmalonso
    @tmalonso 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this vid, John! I am gonna be getting an 8004 soon to start juicing the greens from my indoor organic garden. Namely stinging nettle, stevia, and fresh fan leaves (non-psychoactive) from my organic medical cannabis plants. I will experiment with additional flavors and textures like chamomile, aloe vera, strawberries (and their greens), tangerines, peppermint, lemonbalm, and maybe catnip as well. I'm hoping to have a medicinal, tasty, nutritious, and non-psychoactive juice...eventually

    Hi John, thanks for your videos. I started 2 years ago with a Jack LaLanne : ) In August, I became vegan and invested in my first VitaMix. Seeing the diffence in quality tools, I am ready to "upgrade" my juicer. After much research, my heart is set on the VRT 350... but I can't seem to find out where the machine is manufactured. Would you happen to know? Thanks in advance!

  • @discountjuicers
    @discountjuicers  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I juice celery in the VRT all the time. It does fine, IF you prepare the produce properly, as I show at

    I just went and purchased the omega 8006 because of your video and I have the centrifugal breville juicer but it spits out the kale just like you said. I juiced 3 bunches purple kale and it only yielded 10oz of juice in the breville. How much juice do you get from 1 bunch of kale on the omega 8006?

  • @charlesmarkgraf6758
    @charlesmarkgraf6758 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    would it be better to use a food processor with an s blade to chop greens up first?

  • @kitcrk105
    @kitcrk105 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    John what is your opinion one the green star elite which won is the best between all of juicers? If you want to do the combination of fruits & vegetables?

  • @Grhino67
    @Grhino67 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    John, there are a lot of different answers on how long you can store fresh green juice for. What is your recommendation? I would like to be able to make enough juice for 48-72 hours in advance.

    Love my 8006! but unfortunately the juicing screen broke and I cant find that part anywhere. Omegas website has them on backorder. Know of any places where I can buy an 8006 juicing screen?

  • @TheAmanations

    Why no Greenstar? Are you just comparing single augers?

  • @dhdoctors
    @dhdoctors 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I was going to purchase the 8006, but read several negative reviews at Amazon talking about plastic from the auger getting scraped into the juice? Is this true for all those machines, or just random defective ones?

  • @discountjuicers
    @discountjuicers  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    depends on what you are juicing. I for one, would rather have the vrt any day, because its electric and will work much quicker. On wheatgrass, the zstar will win.. On something like oranges, the vrt will win.. Its better to compare the 8006 to the vrt as they are both electric models. Please see my other videos on this comparison.

    thank you for this video John,but if you add one or two green apples it tastes better.
