Consumer Ratings
Consumers left an overwhelmingly positive rating for the Omega J8006. Even
Though it has a small feed chute that required a little bit of pre-cutting, this is
Made up by the amount of juice it can extract that tastes better compared to a

minimized and this means less oxidation.
The juice that comes out has less foam as consumers noted in their reviews.
You may read complaints about plastic shavings caused by the auger scraping the

8006 juicers that come from the factory. These are probably manufacturing
defects where burrs scrap the plastic auger.
Some consumers have resorted to using a Dremel grinder to smoothen out these
Burrs but doing this WILL VOID THE WARRANTY so if you see signs of plastic

the three I've mentioned.
If you don't mind getting another color, the Omega 8004 is around $20 cheaper
But offers the same functionality and has the exact same 15 year warranty.
Conclusion
This juicer will work great if you plan to juice mostly green leafy vegetables like
Wheatgrass, parsley, kale or spinach as it's efficient enough to squeeze
juice out of them without the need for a harder ingredient like carrot to push out
pulp.
You can still juice more watery stuff like cucumber or apple but pre-cutting will be
needed because it has a rather narrow 1-1/2 inch feed chute.
If you happen to have arthritis or any debilitating illness in your hands or
Joints, consider a vertical auger juicer such as the Omega VRT or Hurom HU-100
Because some effort is needed to push produce right through the chute unlike the
Later where it is almost self-feeding.
Cleaning will not take more than 10 minutes because you'll only need to clean
Around 4 parts and it comes with a brush to clean the mesh screen.
