good at juicing and grinding. sux at pasta; all but 1 attachment makes it too thick
 Omega Juicer August 12, 2008
Fantastic juicer. Works well for soft stuff like fruit, all the way through to wheatgrass and nasty green stuff. Really easy to clean too. Highly recommended.
Powerful and creates tasty juices! Bonus pasta extruders! August 7, 2008

I have one of the old Jack L's, Juiceman Jr. Juicer- JM1 for juicing. It is showing its long teeth and decided I would try one of the macerating juicers. Upon receiving the Omega 8500 juicer I was amazed at its heft and quality of craftsmanship. Comparing this juicer to the Juiceman Jr. is like comparing a Hyundai Excel to a Maserati Quattroporto. The quality of the Omega 8500 is hands down superior to that of the Jr.
The mechanical differences are stark, and so is the quality of the end product; the juice. With a centrifugal extractor the juice is markedly more pulpy. With a macerating (chewing) juicer such as the 8500, the juice is almost clear. It goes through several increasingly smaller screens before being put in the cup. I was amazed at how dry the discarded vegetable pieces were at the end.
The real bonus is that this kit came with a set of pasta extruders. A very nice bonus indeed. I made several vegetable based pastas and the result was fresh pasta that cannot compare to dry store-bought.
Overall a great product and highly recommended!
Well worth the money. Save up if you have to. May 20, 2008

I got this juicer a few months ago after researching various different brands and models. I knew it was going to be an investment, so I didn't want to get something cheaper that was easier to afford "right now" but have to replace later on. I chose Omega because of the great customer service I've read about. I actually have the 8003, which is the same model in white.
When the juicer arrived, I'll admit that we didn't use it for the first month or so. We'd never juiced before, so it was part intimidation, I guess, and part being afraid we'd break the machine or just not be able to get it. Plus it seemed like it would be a huge chore to assemble it, cut the food up, and then take it apart to wash every nook and cranny each time. I figured the lazy person in me would win out for sure.
But then I got a nice book on juicing, and took their challenge for a beginner's week- it covered fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens. I haven't stopped since. This juicer is set up so conveniently. It's easy to put together, the two cups collect the juice and pulp (which is squeezed so dry that running it through a second time just to see provided no extra juice) well, so you don't have to empty it or stop in the middle. If a piece of food is not getting "eaten" by the machine, the masher thing works great, and has a rubber stopper for splashback.
It does squeak a little when you put very wet foods like pineapple in it, but all in all it's really quiet, and almost relaxing to hear. You could easily juice without someone in the next room knowing you were doing it. It takes oranges (which I've heard you just can't get everything out of unless you use a citrus press)and bleeds them dry. Leafy greens are great too, and it really gets everything it can from everything we've put in it.
The first time we used carrots, it did sort of stain the auger (the white part inside that turns and squishes the food) but it's not stained now, and if it were, that wouldn't bother me really. As long as it stays clean, you're fine. And cleaning- is so easy. What you can't get with a rag or sponge and soap, you can get with the attached toothbrush accessory. It's really easy, there's no hard to reach spots, and then just let it all air-dry and you can put it back together to use again.
I highly recommend this juicer, it's very full-functioning, very well made, and despite the lack of information in the book, really quite easy to put together. In fact, mine came already assembled (not attached to the base, though) so just taking it apart showed me how to put it together.
wonderful juicer! May 19, 2008

I just bought this juicer a few days ago and have used it a few times already and absolutely love it!!! It looks very nice and modern and has a very sturdy frame and design. I did alot of research before purchasing this one and decided to go with it since it also juices wheatgrass and leafy greens. I'm so glad I chose this one! It is very easy to use, is very nice looking, very quiet, not too hard to clean, and the juice is absolutely delicious!!! I just came up with this recipe for 2-3 glasses and LOVE it: 1/3 cucumber, 1 kiwi, 2 apples, 3 celery stalks, 3 carrots, 1 orange and a squeeze of lime/lemon juice. It is soooooo delicious and I feel refreshed and re-energized after. [...] I recommend this to anyone and think it is a great investment in your health! Its my first juicer and I already feel like a pro! =)
