Thanks for this - most organized video I've seen yet and super helpful. I had no idea a juicer would be such a big decision but there's so much to know! Your breakdown was excellent - thanks again!
Thank you bro for posting a concise video devoid of personal anecdotes and other loud annoying commentary made by others that do reviews. I mean this is an awesome video
Great video, thanks! Very straightforward and helpful. I just purchased this model today - can't wait to try it out tomorrow morning. I"m retiring my 40 year old Braun centrifugal juicer - it's still working fine, but doesn't do greens very well. I don't have eczema, but have several autoimmune issues, and am trying to regain my health naturally because the medicines prescribed to me only mask symptoms if they even do that. Here's to healing from within!
I lucked out. Managed to pick this up for $100. Was a little suspicious but once I heard the story I wasn't anymore. Turns out the guy had broke up with his girlfriend and she wanted it even though he paid for it. So....ya I got a great deal off the back of heart breaks.
Read the directions - the screen strainer is only to be used after juicing is done to remove pulp from the juice if you like less pulp for a thinner juice. The directions say to pour the results of the juicing through the strainer when pouring into a pitcher if you like your juice thinner. I prefer it thicker. I think the extra fiber is good for you.
Look at 1:55. You have the strainer on top of the juice receptacle. According to the directions you strain when pouring the juice into a pitcher or glass, not when you are grinding the product. Putting the screen there could cause a back up and overflow. Try it without the strainer one time. Juice is thicker and adds some very healthy pulp to the juice.
Thanks for the review. Have you had any problems with the filter screen breaking? This seems to be a problem with quite a few reviewers. Here is one such review - "I bought this juicer and was very pleased with it... until the juicing screen broke only 1 week later. I juice 2 ounces of wheat grass daily. I have broken 3 screens so far! Omega is quick in sending me new screens, but I'm stuck with aging wheat grass and unable to juice until the new screen gets to me. And really, how many screens is too any? When will they start charging me for shipping? They should specify this is for occasional wheat grass juicing. I seriously need to return this. Hasn't been 2 months yet so I'll try to return it where I bought it."
+Carlos Hernandez Are those really old reviews? I remember the original design has some flaws, but these ones in the past couple of years have been faultless. I personally know of 4 of these juicers in daily use, and they've all been fine.
Thank you for your review. Very detailed & I like how you reviewed after a ton of use! That’s very telling of the quality of the machine. I now know the type of juicer I’m getting l! :)
Thank you for a clear concise report on this juicer and your long term experience with it. I just received my new Omega NC800 and am looking forward to many years of excellent juicing. Is there anything you use your pulp for? Seems like it could have a purpose. Thank you.
I just wanted to stop by and see if you could give a word or two of advice. I just bought mine a week ago and the very first juicing was amazing. I was so impressed by the auger as I made my very green juice. However, I don’t know what I’ve done differently because the very next day it’s less impressive as I find the screens getting quite caught with fruit/vegetable fiber and pulp which I have to then stop the machine and clean out very frequently. The first day I juiced all greens: romaine, celery, cucumber, parsley, and kale. The next juice that same day was pineapple, papaya, lemon, ginger, and turmeric. Both times I was so pleased with the result. The next day is where I found it struggling and collecting a lot of pulp in the clear chamber and the mesh screens were full as well. The ingredients were grapefruit, papaya, lemon, ginger, and turmeric. Not much different from the previous day. I sliced off the peels on everything as well. I will reach out to the company to see if I’m doing something wrong with the assembly since it worked perfectly the first day and not there after. If you have any thoughts, please let me know. Thank you in advance and be well 🙏
this is a great machine but I think it doesn't work well with just soft fruits like the papaya and the grapefruit...try mixing the soft fruits with celery, carrots or greens...just a suggestion..
Perhaps there wasn't enough fibre in the day you did grapefruit to keep the juicer running well. Remember, your omega is like a human digestive system - needs fibre! When juicing, alternate your produce as you go through. And also make sure the juicing screen is thoroughly washed and brushed so the holes are clear after each session. 9 years and going strong!
I love mine! Bought the newer model - 8006HDC. Was wondering - have you had to replace any parts during your 1000+ juicings. If so, what were they? If so, id the warranty cover any parts you may have purchased?
Ayda Rodriguez ikr...and I can’t find anything about it anywhere. Kind of an expensive juicer to have to stop juicing halfway through and clean just to finish an average amount of juice.
i do not use the pulp and I always use or run the pulp a second time. to clean use a bottle brush 1 1/2 inch to clean everything. You lose the fiber but i love because i never throw away anything. I just juice it . What a bargain it juices well and is easy to clean. Number one juicing items, kale follow by carrot and celery You can juice almost all veggie and fruits I never throw anything away i just juice it. 5 stars because it paid for itself.
Good review, thanks for the effort. The fact you've had it for so long and can recommend it still after over 1,000 juices is good enough for me. I wonder if a cost analysis would reveal this as even a better buy. I mean, if you juice each day how hard would it be to spend a couple of extra dollars a day because of poor extraction. Low temperature of this kind of machine seems to make sense from a nutrient retention point of view as well.
That pulp kinda looks like theres a lot left in it??? Im i wrong??? Really wanted to try this one out but I'm kind of getting worried about it now... have you made pasta with it????
Hi there , could it be that the Omega 8006 is the same as the Hurom Oscar Da 1000 ? They are selling those now in Europe, with the relatively small feed, but with the nice 5 setting end bit.(As well as all the different attachments for Pasta and 2 different screens. I paid 260 Euros for it , the Omega NC 800 selling for 400 Euros.
I got my J8006 and haven’t used yet; but I am looking forward to use it... I only need some advice on how to use it... thank you for your insight, i think I made a good choice buying my Omega juicer 🤗
I have an Omega and love it. I do find it annoying when juicing certain items (ie an entire pineapple, cut up) that I have to stop 3 maybe 4 times to clean it otherwise it will just internally slosh the contents. Is there anything I can do to help stop this? I found that starting with fiber then pulp ==> carrots, then add pineapples chunks, then back to carrots, pineapple, then ginger as an example seems to help vs saving pineapple for the end (because I dread it). Thanks!
I've seen people put it into breads and soups/sauces. Also good if you compost, or just bury it in your backyard/garden. It'll break down and add nutrients to the soil.
I just juiced for the second time. Is there anything wrong with juicing the mushy inside of a hokaido pumpkin , including the seeds ? I was wondering aboit this , because everybody throws this away .
Like the review, most videos out there are (obvious) commercials but this one seems very honest, thanks for that man! Now it'd be really interesting if you'd also have experience with the solostar 4 (weaker but should yield more) and sana series (larger input) by omega since I have pretty much the same recipe except for more greens and less hard vegs/fruit and am about to buy a juicer. Also wanna make some (pre-cooked) lentils/beans dips and alike, which should be no problem whatsoever with any of these. Started juicing a week ago to test if, what, how much etc and am working with my Omniblend + nutmilk bag which is a pain in the ass ;)!
Hey man, thanks for your answer! Yeah I know him, I've already watched a ton of his videos and some others too. Since I found a company that sells the Omega juicers here in my area, I'll go with something like that. But I actually found out that Hurom seems to produce all the Omega, Bionika, Oscar and Vidia (maybe even more) and it's just that the Omega is the newest model and/or gets the most attention. The core is still the same (materials, design), they just have some with and some without adjustable endcap, or in the newer model, a juice screener with big and one with smaller holes (+ glass bowl, stainless steel jar). Obviously the design on the outside is different. And the Vidia has 10 years more warranty on the motor, same length on all the other parts, and is 60 bucks cheaper.
I have a similar juice but not the same brand i have a problem with kiwis, mangos or anything of the same texture it seems to sometimes overflow when i push down with the tamper and not push pulp out properly does yours do this? any tips?
+N 9 N E Yes, this style of juicer works best on harder fruits and veggies, but it's OK for soft ones too, you just don't need to press down very hard on the plunger. Alternate your soft fruits with harder ones during the juicing, to keep things crunching through nicely.
+Jake It is possible indeed. In fact it's quite normal for that to happen due to the increased level of vitality the body has, i.e. the increased amount of energy it has to push toxins out. Detoxification is a topic I've covered fairly extensively on the channel - have a scroll back through past videos :)
+EczemaHealing.org thanks! Would you say it's a positive thing that this is happening? and will eating fruit always have this result because it has put me off a bit
Maybe the Omega 8007. I have had the Jason Vale Retro slow juicer for 3 years which has been great but it's not working at its best now after 3 years of heavy hammering!!!!
if you are going to juice a lot I would avoid omega juicers due to a problem with the juice screen breaking, every 1-2 years and it cost $15 shipping to get the replacement if still under warranty.
They might have taken care of the problem but anyone who has bought one of the older models has to deal with poor customer service and a product that breaks all the time therefore I would advise people not to support omega products
Great video! It was interesting to see what was left in the head after juicing. Just one criticism - you say several times that it’s a ‘masticating’ juicer but it’s not. It’s a cold press, slow juicer. The difference is shown in a video by John Kohler th-cam.com/video/9pc1bQqH2Jk/w-d-xo.html. Basically, a masticating juicer has an auger with little teeth at the top end which grate/chew the vegetables, then the auger pushes that pulp along and presses out the juice.
Does the pulp ever get stuck in the filter/chute? I have an Angel juicer and the pulp builds up in the twin gears and the tiny filter so I have to take it apart and clean it out 4-5 times just to make around 800ml of juice. I lose about 15 minutes just cleaning as I juice!

+weantoine Thanks!
Agreed, why do so many videos contain 14 years worth of life story before getting to the actual point
And the pulp is great for soups! I love this juicer for making carrot risotto and pastas in addition to juices.

I just bought one of these juicers today!!! I made juice and drinking it made me feel good! Looking forward to juicing everyday to heal my eczema :)
Anna Banana, how has it been for you so far?
Best review! Mahalo for the honest description!

EczemaHealing.org he's right actually. The directions say to not lay the screen under where the juice chute is.
It's for afterwards when pouring.
@@Teramydog Thank you for highlighting this precious information. I did it wrongly too in the past.

+Marilyn Bakst Occasionally, soup stock. If not, give it straight back to the soil, that's not wasted
Soup stock is a great idea. Composting the pulp is also a great idea. Thanks for the suggestions! ;)
Excellent review - organized and thorough.
Yes. The warranty is from the company (Omega). I have the same juicer and I bought mine from QVC.

2000+ juices now, solid as a rock, no new parts
Is the pulp very dry? Can you juice wheatgrass in this juicer? Thanks for sharing :))
Yes, and yes.
This was a wonderful review and very helpful. Very thorough and nice to have a review from some that has used it over time and still loves it.
+Erika De Jesus Thank you
Mine has started backing up through the feed chute. Everything is clean. I have no idea what it could be.
Mine is doing the same. I have to wash it, and then keep on juicing.
Ayda Rodriguez ikr...and I can’t find anything about it anywhere. Kind of an expensive juicer to have to stop juicing halfway through and clean just to finish an average amount of juice.
Im looking to get a new one and this just hit the lead based on the 15 year warranty.
It's a real sign of confidence from Omega. Double check the warranty for your country of purchase :)
i do not use the pulp and I always use or run the pulp a second time. to clean use a bottle brush 1 1/2 inch to clean everything.

Good, practical, no nonsense review. Thanks!
Thanks for this video. I am in the process of replacing my old juicer. Can't decide between Omega 8006 or Omega 8007/8. This was very helpful.
What one you gonna get?

Quality review, thank you!
I like to dry the fiber out further, grind it up and sprinkle it on my food.
+J.W. Good tip.
I've seen people put it into breads and soups/sauces.
Also good if you compost, or just bury it in your backyard/garden. It'll break down and add nutrients to the soil.
How much does it cost. Bro
I just juiced for the second time. Is there anything wrong with juicing the mushy inside of a hokaido pumpkin , including the seeds ? I was wondering aboit this , because everybody throws this away .
I'm really not sure how safe that is, or how much juice you'd get from doing that. Sorry!

Sounds good! Have you come across John Kohler? His channel is okraw, and he's the juicing DUDE. He may have even done the comparison you're after...

It seemed that you didn’t peel the lemon. Did I see that correctly?
That's correct, organic, unwaxed lemons.
Do you have to peel the apples before putting them through the juicer?
+Not True Nope :) Don't even peel lemons. That's the beauty of juicing.. anything that isn't juice goes down the pulp shoot.
If you buy it off amazon, does it come with the 15 yet warranty?
It used to, please double check the latest information.
So thorough. Thank YOU

have you tried making coconut milk or almond milk with this??
+Mama Penguin I haven't, but am confident it would be fine
Can it make fresh coconut milk/cream or pomegranate juice
Can you please describe how loud is the juicer?
It's not too bad. Much quieter than a blender or centrifugal blender. You can still have a conversation while it's going.
@@thevitalityproject Thanks for the reply.
How do you use the pulp?

That was a good video. Thanks.

+AbstractOvechkin This one isn't bad, takes me around 2 minutes to wash up (I never use chemicals on it)
I like this Machine! Celery Juce evry day !
Banana through a juicer, wtf? Good video otherwise.
This is the 8006 nutrition centre - you can make banana ice cream in it!
Does the pulp ever get stuck in the filter/chute? I have an Angel juicer and the pulp builds up in the twin gears and the tiny filter so I have to take it apart and clean it out 4-5 times just to make around 800ml of juice. I lose about 15 minutes just cleaning as I juice!
+Acacia Gray No, that doesn't happen with this model
Thanks!
