I purchased the J8006HDC(Same as J8006HDS, but in Chrome). This machine is solid, even the plastic pieces are heavy and substantial. My first recipe I did was “ No cold for me”, which can be found on Omegajuicers.com. It was delicious and very easy to make. I used pre-washed baby carrots instead, about 6 equaled one med carrot. The pulp I am using to make bran muffins. The orange peal and excess pulp I threw into a small crock pot with a cinnamon stick, water and a few whole cloves, instant potpourri.
