I'm in love! I LOVE, LOVE this juicer!! I had read a lot of reviews from different sites (positive and very negative ones!). I don't understand those that complain about how slow and "messy" the juicer is...messy?! are u kidding me? this juicer is not messy at all, the clean up is easy; just rinse under the tap and leave out to dry. I didn't even have to use the little brush to scrub the parts. As for speed...Juicing isn't fast food!! Don't be put off by people saying that the juicer is slow; I previously had a centrifugal type juicer (and those things are fast!), although the Omega is slower, once you start juicing you'll have a glass of juice in less than five minutes. For those complaining that they have to chop up the vegs into small pieces, give me break and don't be lazy! if you actually bother to chop your veg/fruit into appropriate sizes, all you do is drop it in and the juicer takes care of the rest all on it's own, you don't even have to bother to push it in with that plunger thing. Some have mentioned that it doesn't juice carots too well; this one was a big concern of mine, but I found no problem with juicing carrots, it juices them just fine for my taste. I found myself using a little less of what I usually use to make juice, so this juicer makes plenty of juice! I haven't used the other features yet (I bought this mainly for juicing), but I'm sure I will be impressed. Buy this juicer, you won't be disappointed and your mind and body will thank you. Peace Omega Quality For Leafy Greens- I purchased this juicer at least partially out of curiosity. I've had a Champion 25+ years, an Acme for 20, and Breville, L'Equip and Omega centrifugal juicers. The problem with these centrifugals is that they are awful for leafy greens. The Champion will do leafy greens okay, but I was interested in higher yield. Plus, I do enjoy a shot of wheatgrass and the Champion won't do it at all. I looked at both twin-gear and single-auger types. Twin-gear juicers are still being developed, so I ended up single-auger. After watching the TriBest infomercial demonstrated by some babe who acted like she was on cocaine, I went to Omega. My Omega centrifugal works flawlessly. I purchased the 8003 over the 8005 or 8006 because I like white appliances. The 8003 is heavier than it appears in photos. However, it is quite compact, smaller than my Champion. Assembly is quite simple; the auger housing, auger, screen and end cone fit logically and the locking wheels are able to be operated with wet hands. As stated by another reviewer, the feed tube is not large; if one wants to drop whole pieces of fruit in this isn't the juicer for you. This is by far the quietest juicer I've owned. No, where this juicer excels is with leafy greens. It will happily chomp its way through any green one wants. Unlike the Champion, stringy greens such as celery won't accidentally get wound around the auger. The trick with this juicer is to let the slow-turning auger feed at its own speed, helped with the pusher. BTW if anyone wants to see this juicer in action, go to YouTube and there are several excellent demos. I can run several carrots at a time through the big-mouth Breville; not on this juicer. However, of course, the Breville won't do leafy greens as this one does! The downside to a white juicer is that carrots and beets can stain. Doesn't bother me, but if that could be a problem, buy the chrome finish one with black peripherals. I know there has been a model 8006 introduced recently with an auger that's supposed to be several times harder than the melamine one used here. For ~$125 more, I don't see the benefit. I expect the price on the 8006 will drop when the novelty wears off. If one wants to juice carrots, apples, and other firm fruit, a centrifugal will probably be the juicer of choice. I still use mine for these. However, if one wants to increase leafy greens in one's diet, one of these will definitely fill the bill. Sweeeeet! I LOVE this thing! What more can I say?? I got it based on positive reviews and I have NOT been disappointed. It even gets all the oil out of flax seeds when I run them through--the waste is dry as cardboard! With juicier things like grapefruit I have to run them through a couple times but it only takes a second, and it's worth it. It gets all the liquid out of anything--wheatgrass, seeds, fennel...definitely worth it!
