I have owned the Omega 4000 for ten (10) years. It has been exceptional. Customer service, for me, has been remarkable. After nine years of using the juicer, the bowl started to crack. It was a plastic-stainless steel fusion. When I spoke to customer service, they gave me an alternative: I could send the bowl back for them to make a new one, or I could send the whole unit in for a replacement to a newer model with a wider chute. I opted for the latter. The newer juicer -- which I've been using consistently for one year -- is even better, juices more efficiently, and with its wider chute, I don't have to spend nearly as much time cutting my fruits and vegetables before juicing. Truly, I spend less than half the time. Whereas with my original Omega 4000 I could extract, perhaps, 20-25% more juice were I to re-juice the pulp, with the newer Omega 4000, I don't need to. The pulp is exceptionally dry. The process is quick, painless, and makes juicing a delight. My father and close friend own the Champion. They are different than the Omega 4000. In truth, the Omega 8003/8005 is more like the Champion, except that the Omega 8000 series has a slower RPM than the Champion and thus retains more of its nutrients. The Omega 4000 has an RPM in the thousands, I believe, and if enzymatic destruction and oxidation are a concern, perhaps one should consider looking at a different model. I'm not concerned about ruining the nutritional values of my juice, but then again, I typically juice for immediate consumption. For me the Omega 4000 -- with its robust 15 year warranty and phenomenal customer service -- is a top juicer in its class. Highly, highly recommended.

I used Omega 1000 for about 10 years. I make juice for about 4 people every three days. In order to ake that juice you have to stop atleast six or seven times to remove the pulp. Also juicer gets unstable if you put soft stuff. So I tried Breville pulp ejector after reading the reviews. I was shocked how poorly it works. I have to stop more times to clean it as the ejector makes it a mess. Omega pulp ejector is also a poor one. I have to stop more times than Omega 1000 and also I did not get that much juice as Omega 1000.

I like this juicer, but it could be improved. First, the information booklet is not well-written and it is difficult to read and figure out how to assemble and disassemble. Once you figure out how to do it, it is easy. Additionally, more recipes could have been included. Second, the spout is low and you have to find something of a low height to catch the juice. I also found that carrot juice stained the interior the first time I used it, even though I washed it according to directions immediately.

I love this machine. I use it twice a day and have run a lot of fruit and vegetables through it. As with all juice extractors, it is a bit tedious to clean and it is now stained from all the carrot juice, but it continues to perform perfectly. It sits tight in place when operating. I would like a little tool of some sort to clean out the discharge spout. I like it so well I bought two of them for use at each of our homes.

I picked this up on a lightning deal for $129.99 and I am quite happy. I know there are other machines out there for a lot less money, but none of them have the 15 year warranty or performance of this machine, from what I can tell. We have used it a couple of times thus far, and operation is easy, with cleanup being more hassle but not bad. Since the feed spout is only about 3" x 2", you have to cut up apples and similar size items, but the machine really gobbles up the pieces and has lots of semi-quiet power. I wish the outlet spout was slightly higher since we are juicing for 2 to 4 people, but I guess the height is great for people juicing for themselves only into a smaller glass. We found a small stoneware pitcher that fits perfectly and will handle juice for 4 large glasses.
I haven't had a problem with stuff coming out the feed spout- you just cap it with the green plunger as soon as you put the items in there and push them down. The basket is a little tricky to remove for cleaning since it fits snugly on the hexagonal holder, but I am using a table knife inserted carefully under the rim to pry it up a bit- have to be careful not to damage the basket mesh. I wish they had included a cleaning brush, but I'll pick up one with stiff nylon bristles at the $ store. The white plastic lid stained from carrots the first time, but I expected that from other reviews and who cares since it's on the inside?
The juice is delicious- I never realized how much difference there is between fresh apple juice and store-bought. My picky kids give it 2 thumbs up. So far, we've done apples, pears, pineapple, oranges and carrots. Like I said, I am very happy with this well designed juicer.
