Omega Vertical Low Speed Juicer, 150-Watt, Silver

Despues de estar leyendo reviews de extractores me decidi por este modelo y no me equivoque. Este es mi primer extractor de "cold press" y estoy sorprendida de su efectividad, extrae mayor cantidad de jugo, es silencioso y no es tardado; y de la limpieza del mismo es muy sencillo y practico.

Very happy with the results. Bought on a friend's recommendation. It extracts a lot of juice. I find it easy to take apart and clean. You need to clean right after juicing as then it is an easy task, instead of leaving it as the fruit pieces get dried and stuck otherwise. Would recommend to anyone who wants to juice regularly.

I had them too, I wondered never juicing before if I should spend as much as Omega requires romstepminto the Vrt. Would it serve my juicing needs? I did all the hours of research most modern consumers do, and narrowed it down to the VRT 350, the 8006, and the Green Power Kempo. What I wanted was a great juicer with longevity that I could throw a variety of produce at. I don't care for making my own nut butters or sorbets, I just wanted incredible juice. I plan on doing about 60% greens and veggies, and the rest fruit. Does the VRT deliver? A resounding YES! Better than you would believe, there hasn't been a produce item yet that it hasn't squeezed the life out of into tasty juice. We've been running the juice gauntlet ever since it arrived a few days ago, spinach, carrots, celery, cucumber, pineapple, oranges, apples, ginger, and garlic are just some of what our Vrt has chewed on. It has handled all of it from the soft fruits to the leafy spinach it works like a champ. I'm sure there are a variety of juicers out there that would do the same, but I know I picked the right one for our household. Overall I'm very pleased, and had a friend come over who has a juice fountain centrifugal design and was amazed. Y the quietness, the yield, and the quality. The Omega puts out the best tasting juice you've ever had. Here's some questions I had in the beginning, I'm not sure they are yours but they would've helped me being a new juicer, they are curiosities I didn't see the answer to during my search for juice. 1. Is there a ton of pulp? I saw mixed reviews on this and wasn't sure what to expect, I'm not a huge pulp fan, but I don't hate it unless it overpowers the texture of the entire glass. The VRT comes with a large and small strainer and I've never used anything but the small/fine screen. If you've ever ordered fresh squeezed OJ at a restaurant and know what it's like you can expect less pulp than that. If you bought a store bought juice the VRT produced it would probably say "some pulp." it's not pulp free but it doesn't get in the way either. I've been pouring my juices over ice and I don't even notice the pulp. It lead me to believe that some people want a lack of pulp on the level of something packaged that isn't even juice, like a vitamin water or Gatorade. I was taken aback by the first glass, as it was so smooth I can't figure out what people are complaining about. If you must have a pulp free juice a cone masticating juicer like the 8006 or centrifugal juicer is probably better. personally I think the vrt outs out a rich flavor and a glass that's easy to drink. In short no one I've handed a glass to has mentioned the pulp. 2. Preparation and cleaning time, is it a hassle? Again I say, these can't e serious complaints. I'm a person in a rush like many of us are and taking the minimal time to prepare juice has been beyond easy, let's take cucumber, carrot, celery and spinach. That's one I like, basically I chop the cuke and celery in under a minute, lop off the tops of the carrots, and start stuffing spinach in the thing. There are some great tips on juicing out there, especially by John over at discountjuicers.com --- nothing has ever gotten stuck on me and while I don't feed everything I possibly can into the thing at full speed it chomps through produce very quickly. I simply listen to it chew up the previous item as I toss the next one in, it's really fast though, and I find myself lagging behind the juicer frequently. Cleanup is a snap, see my forest sentence here, there is no complaint, it takes no time at all. One caver is if you are utterly lazy, the parts on the Omega say they cannot be thrown into the dishwasher or it will be damaged. I'm not going to do that anyway with an appliance this pricey. I'll time myself in the future but right now prep and cleanup has to be under 5 minutes it's quicker than making a cup of coffee. 3. Is it worth the admission? That friend I told yo about with the breville, well we had a juice off last night and the difference in quality and yield was astounding, not to mention that we were all laughing at the lawnmower like sound the juice fountain produced. In contrast I was running the vrt on the counter next to our barstools with music playing from an iPhone and conversation going. Then I heard "what are you doing, you can't juice spinach" as I lumped a handful together. The quality of the juice, and what it can juice is simply amazing. It's so consistent in the glass it's like you bought something off the shelf or went to a juice bar, except that it's even better! I do a lot of exercise and meditation and I like to think I know my body, and like most Americans i have too much fat, refined flour, and processed food in my diet. I'm an organic consumer, go to farmers markets, but I don't kid myself, I know what my modern diet is doing to me. The first glass of carrot and spinach changed me into a complete believer, I instantly felt a prolonged sense of energy throughout the day. Already I find myself craving a glass of juice in the middle of the day. If you are struggling with the finance, maybe do what I did and tell your friends you would like an amazon card to put toward better health. This was our Christmas present to my wife and I this year, and for the price of good health it can't be beat. 4. Is juicing expensive? It looks that way, especially if you watch the videos of the vrt where John is using 3 pounds of carrots :) in truth you can build a glass or two for yourself with as little as, 3 carrots, 2 apples, one celery stalk. I was ale to find 3 pound bags of organic apples for $3 at a regular store, carrots for a $1 per pound, and the yield with the VRT is so high you don't need a ton of reduce. The first couple times I actually made far too much following juice recipes online. Besides those bacon and eggs I like so much are equally expensive if not more so. It's only been a few days but I feel like we made the best choice going down the path of slow juicing. I'll try to check back in a fe months and report my progress. Right now I feel the choice should have been a no brainer with a lot less deliberation, but hindsight is always 20/20. It may not be the right juicer for you, but I feel like any juicer in this range is going to be a boon to your health. For me, that is the VRT 350, and I'm utterly pleased I watched all those comparisons on the web and pulled the trigger. Best of luck to you and your juice!

I bought this juicer about a month ago when i decided i wanted to try a juice fast. I probably would have gone for a less expensive brand except i love the 10 year warranty. i could easily spend 3 times as much if i had to replace a juicer every couple of years so that was what i was thinking when i bought it. Once i started using it I knew i had made the right choice. It practically feeds itself, drawing everything down and almost never having to use the plunger. It's quick. It's easy to clean - and i like that i can just run water through it a few times during the day, when i use it and just do one thorough clean at the end of the day... its quicker than doing dishes. My only only complaint is that you get a lot of pulp. I'm the kind of person who doesn't even like pulp in the bought orange juice, so that doesn't work so well for me. But the solution to that is once i've made the juice i run it through my blender - and voila!! super smooth juice with no pulp and soooo flavourful. I know it's one more step but for me it's well worth it. This juicer even feels like quality. I love it and I love seeing it sit on my counter.

I bought this as a gift to my girlfriend who has the world's worst eating habits (she used to eat only once a day, ~1000cal/day). She was always on the go and never had time to prepare meals. Like many others, I saw the documentary about the fella who started juicing raw foods and the dramatic results on his health. I was a skeptic, but splurged and bought her this unit out of love and a healthy dose of concern for her well-being. Many months later, we're still juicing daily. I have quit drinking coffee entirely (I used to consume about 16oz of cuban coffee daily). My first meal in the morning is a tall glass of fresh green juice with some fruits added for my desired level of sweetness. I provides me a quick meal and gives me good energy through to lunch. As for my significant other... She's juicing daily. Consuming quality, nutrient dense raw foods and she has noticed the effects in her practice. She's a Yoga teacher, who practices and teaches almost daily in a heated room so she goes through a lot of mineral and electrolyte loss. The juices have help keep her slim, toned, hydrated and pumped with energy. As long as one has a good source for their produce, the cost isn't overbearing. I will not shop at my corner supermarket because the quality is inferior and far overpriced. However, I have a smaller, local store with better prices, organic selections and it does not break the bank. All my skepticism is gone. I do not replace all my meals with juice - I'm a foody and won't give certain things up. But I do replace one or sometimes two meals a day with a good, nutrient filled juice. I like it less pulpy so I use the finer strainer. My girl likes it with a little more pulp, so she'll "hand-select" the pulp she wants from the ejection chute and put it back into her drink. Tips we've used along the way that might benefit others: * Run some water through your juicer when you juice greens to get "every little bit of green goodness" into your glass. Yes, it will dilute your juice to some extent, but you don't have to run a lot of water through it and your overall yield will be greater. We found that sometimes greens and their juices get "backed up" in the filter and take a while to filter down into the cup. Adding a few ounces of water helps move things along. * Start small. We were a little overzealous in the beginning and added anywhere from 10-12 different items in our first attempts at juicing. Some were outright nasty. Start with 3-4 ingredients and add things slowly. Eventually, you'll find what works for you. There are lots of free recipes out there - the internet is a great resource. * Juice as a family. Yes, really. I started doing all the juicing alone in the beginning. Then, I had to work for a few days and my girl didn't know the first thing on how to juice. She went through the same trials and tribulations (and wasted food) that I did in the beginning. Save each other the trouble and expense and go through this process together. It can actually be fun. * Make more juice than you need. Cleanup is not difficult and does not take very long. However, I personally don't want to sit over the juicer every time I need juice. We make about 4-6 cups of juice at a time and bottle the rest in a mason jar to use over the next 24hrs. Juice quality is just as good as when you made it and you save yourself the trouble if you find yourself needing a snack throughout the day. Hope this helps someone and rest assured that the VRT350 is a phenomenal unit that will provide great results. I bought my mother a unit for her birthday and now she's using it daily too.
