Best juicer ever!
I got this for my girlfriend and I when we wanted to start eating healthier. I did a lot of research and found this to be the best one on the market. It is way more expense than most juicers out there. But if you have the money to invest in a great product that will last a long time and meet every expectation you have then this is the one you will have to purchase. It comes with many different attachments to do things like make peanut butter or pasta, but we mostly use it for juicing. It is amazing how much this machine can take with just a plastic drill piece. We find it works great with hard vegetables like carrots, raw beets, and ginger. We usually put our apples in with every part of it and just cut into pieces that will fit in the juicer opening. We do this with many fruits and vegetables to make sure we are getting all the nutrients and juice possible. My girl friend even likes to put the beet stems in (minus the leaves since she says it gives the juice a different taste) the juicer with the beets. We purchased a book called juicing with the Omega juicer since we were first timers to the juicing world. It really helped get to know what our machine did best for us. But going online and reading articles and watching YouTube videos for free would help to. Just learn about what this juicer can do for you because everything it does is amazing! I also want to note that this juicer does do wheat-grass. Just be careful though that you don't put too much in at a time. I found out that it will get tangled up in the drill piece and knotted up if you put too much into it at one time. I had to keep taking the juicer apart to get all the grass pieces out that were just wrapping themselves around the drill piece. It worked great after I figured this out but you might want to start with small batches and see where that takes you. It helps if you are putting bigger things like oranges or apples through with the wheat-grass. But if you want a fresh wheat grass juice, definitely start small. And don't think that all the stuff that comes out the other end is a waste! If I am making a juice with carrots and beets, I will juice just them first and save the shredded pieces that are left over and put them on my salads. Nothing goes to waste with this machine if you don't want it. You can also you the shredded left overs for composite, which I am really thinking we might do for the spring!
One more note: When putting things like oranges, lemons, grapes, and other soft fruits or vegetables, make sure to put some hard fruits or vegetables through with them. Alternate the density of your fruits and vegetables because sometimes the softer ones will clog up the strainer and not get pushed out the other end of the juicer.
