Omega VRT350 Heavy Duty Dual-Stage Vertical Single Auger Low Speed Juicer



Purchased the new VRT 350 weeks ago, decided on the Omega due to the longer warrantee period (10 years), and other reviews. Also saw not to get the older 330 version as the auger is noted as not as strong.

The instructions are a bit strange, but it's not rocket science - you can figure it out. Coming from a cheap Hamilton Beach centrifugal, the immediate, dramatic difference in the waste output is clear - we're trying to purchase only organic produce, so wastage with the old machine was a big (messy) and $$ issue for us. I'd say it's cut almost in half, and you can see a clear difference in how dry the Omega waste is. We've used it every day since purchase, and though it's early days, the product is heavy and appears built to last. The silver colour does not stain (we juice beets daily). Also have juiced beet greens and wheatgrass - appears to do a very good job. It's also much faster to clean - the screen is almost clean when you take it apart (assuming you run a bit of water through it at the end of your juicing).

Only 1 complaint - the waste hole gets clogged if you're processing wheatgrass/greens - it doesn't block the machine completely, but it is the only thing that slows down the cleaning. They provided a handy pointed toothbrush-y thing that clears it well.

Net - confident that it's worth the extra $'s (it's ~ the same or not that much extra than good centrifugals), and highly recommended.
