Are you looking for an emaciating style juicer where you end up tossing out a lot of pulp? I picked up this and have been happy enough with it. It sort of meets the simple construction style: auger, screen, and plunger. Omega makes a few higher priced ones that may allow greater capacity to be juiced so it moves along quicker.

Alternatively, vitamix will give you many more applications, incl. smoothies, and if you really want no pulp you can filter through cheesecloth.

The Omega J8006 is great. Used to juice wheat grass and turmeric at a small juice bar, gave a great yield.

If you like cooking:
My Omega 8006 juicer can function as a juicer, nut butter maker, spice grinder, coffee grinder, flour grinder, baby food maker, and ice cream maker. It's pricey but not if you consider the cost of all the appliances it replaces. I use it everyday.

I also hope at some point to get a multi-cooker which will replace my slow cooker, rice cooker and pressure cooker. I know some would say just use a pot but you can't beat the convenience of slow cooking/ setting rice to be ready when you get home from work, at least for myself.

Haven't gotten one yet because of the initial outlay of money, it's a delicate balance to seek multipurpose and quality but not think that magic things you buy will fix everything.

I have this omega juicer that I got as a gift a few years ago. It works super good for anything I've put in it though I primarily use it for making carrot juice and juicing greens for adding to soups not drinking direct. You would not believe just how much fresh juice made from greens and carrots can add to soup but it's amazing!

I bought the Omega J8006 masticating juicer for $300 about six months ago after doing a bunch of research and have been very pleased with it. It's heavy duty and can handle anything I throw in it. My only complaint is the container the juice drips into is small and requires frequent emptying if you're making more than one juice.

When doing research on my options, I found Joe Cross' Reboot website to be helpful, as well as the reviews and comparisons on Amazon.

The drink you see in the picture is from a quarter head of red lettuce, 3 celery sticks, 6 strawberry's, 2 stalks of Kale, a handful of spinach, and 2 large carrots. I've lost about 5 lbs so far from 190 to 185 so far. Its great because juicing lets your body absorb all the nutrients very easily and it detoxifies. Its also quick, I have the Omega J8006 juicer and clean up is less than 2 minutes.

This juicer is a badass machine that also makes nut butters. I make different nut butters all the time with it. The only drawback is that for very creamy butters you need to run them through twice - sometimes three times.

But it works well and for much less money. Read the reviews. It is a beast for less money than other options.

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/Juicing

amazon has it for 299. (http://amzn.to/1d8peGi) and refebushed for $220 (http://amzn.to/1cSRYT0) bed bath and beyond 20% OFF is awesome also.

u/iowasam · 1 pointr/Juicing

I had a centrifugal juicer before and just a few days ago bought a masticating one (like this but a european imitation) and that's probably the best purchase of my life... it extracts the juice of leafy vegetables really well. So I would say that's your best bet yes.

Haven't tried it yet, but am researching it. This unit looks good:

and here is a discussion on the juicer where "EverythingAnything" mentions using this unit to juice cannabis:

u/Rivalrous · 1 pointr/Juicing

I invested in an Omega J8006. I actually get a kick out of cutting everything up and watching it work. For me, it's a great machine, but it doesn't suit everyone. I don't think I'd upgrade to another machine unless I had to.

I used to have a Jack LaLanne juicer, but it kicked the bucket pretty quickly and hated greens. I don't think they're bad juicers, though. Just not for me.

u/notpandora · 1 pointr/Juicing

I have an Omega Horizontal Masticating Juicer and as you can see, the chute is stupid narrow, so I have to cut up my apples pretty small. I cut pretty much everything except for the kale.

Since it's a masticating juicer, it's pretty slow no matter what, but I found that cutting stuff into smaller pieces (especially the apples) lets it feed more smoothly, I don't have to jam down the masher and the machine will just "eat" the produce without much assistance from me.

I also find that cutting stuff up in a certain order and then having it ready to feed helps me regulate blockage in the masticating chamber. If I do a bunch of cucumber or apples in a row, there's a build up of pulp which can even manage to build up and leak out of the detachable part and leak down the machine if I just let it stay that way. Having my stuff "layered" in the big bowl I put the chopped produce in helps me alternate, some cucumber, some apple, then some celery and kale. The celery and kale will push the pulp of the cucumber and apple out into the waste hopper. It also helps clean up, if I finish off with kale, then when I clean the main masticating piece off, it's easy to just brush off the remaining pulp and there is less dripping or accidental mess.

You can tell that the part I hate most about juicing is the mess and clean up haha.

EDIT - oh, and I found that when my fiance juices, the machine tends to get really hot on the back near the motor because he doesn't cut as fine as I do and just jams everything in and leans down on the masher. It doesn't get nearly as hot when I'm the one making the juice!

Most people here have been advocating a centrifugal juicer, but in my honest opinion, getting a cold press juicer would be better in the long run. Not only do they extract more juice, but they also produce less foamy and higher quality juice as well.

Maybe something like a Omega Masticating Juicer or a Champion Juicer.

My first juicer:

Breville 800JEXLhttps://www.amazon.com/Breville-800JEXL-Fountain-1000-Watt-Extractor/dp/B0002VAFVG

But the high speed really oxidizes the juice and doesn't extract as much. Great if you want to juice 100 apples or 20 heads of celery quickly. But for quality, it leaves a lot to be desired.

My second juicer:

Omega J8006https://www.amazon.com/Omega-J8006-Dual-Stage-Masticating-Revolutions/dp/B001L7OIVI/

Worked well for me for a number of years, but didn't handle some greens very well. After following Lou Corona and making his lemon ginger blast every day, I upgraded one more time.

My *last* juicer:

Tribest GSE-5050 "Green Star Elite"https://www.amazon.com/Green-CHROME-COLORED-Masticating-Juicer-GSE-5050/dp/B075TFHVPH/

I find it makes the best juice, especially for greens (parsley, cilantro, kale, spinach, chard, etc). It's not great if you're only trying to juice, say, apples or oranges. For citrus, I used a $70 citrus press. For apples, I will use the Green Star but the apples should be pretty crisp and I may help move things along with a stalk of celery.

Yeah, it's pricey, but if you're serious about your juice and will make it a life-long habit, then it will be a good investment.

Lou Corona's Lemon Ginger Blast

  • 1 lemon
  • 1-3" ginger
  • 1-3" turmeric
  • 1/2 to 1 habanero (or omit and sprinkle in a quality cayenne powder to the final drink)
  • 1 apple (use green (granny smith) if you're fighting candida)
  • 1 cucumber
  • 1 head celery
  • 1 bunch parsley (helps clean the blood)
  • 1 bunch cilantro (helps remove heavy metals)
  • 1 bunch mint (essential oils, good for digestion)
  • WATER: cut final mixture with 1/3 water; helps the body absorb the rest

    The original lemon ginger blast can be made in a blender if that's all you have:

  • 1 lemon
  • 1 to 3" ginger
  • 1 habanero (or omit and add quality cayenne powder to the final drink)
  • about 3 cups quality water

    .. then blend all ingredients in a Vitamix, strain and drink.

It depends on what your price range is. Cheaper juicers typically use high speed cutters and centrifugal force to get the juice out. Some argue that this gives you crappier juice.

If you've got a bit of cash to spend, look up the Omega J8006 It's probably the best bang for the buck in the midrange juicers.

u/caffiend2 · 1 pointr/Cooking

Well, if you have a food processor, you almost don't need a blender.
I recently got a masticating juicer and love it to death. I had considered getting a Vita-Mix because it juices and also can make soup (friction from the blades heats the contents and you got soup, son!). I decided to go with the masticating juicer (1.5 million uses) and the food processor I already had. I have a blender, but I barely use it. Some day, I will get that Vita-Mix. If you want the best blender ever with the most functions, the Vita-Mix is the way to go.

I made pasta for the 1st time two nights ago. My experience was as follows:

I mixed 2 cups of all purpose unbleached flour and 2 eggs.

I kneaded it and added water for about 8 minutes until I got a ball of dough roughly the consistency of slightly dry play dough.

I covered it in saran wrap and let it sit in a drawer for 1.5 hours.

I processed it through my Omega 8006 to make the noodles.

Put in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes and then they were a perfect al dente.

EDIT: That looks delicious BTW

They tasted good but they were a little chewier than I preferred though that may be related to the type of pasta filter (for lack of a better word) I used. Any tips on making softer or less chewy pasta?
