I did A LOT of research before picking this juicer. I looked at different brands and different models of Omega. I am VERY happy with this pick. My previous juicer was a cheap centrifugal juicer and it was extremely loud. Not only is the 8006 MUCH quieter, but it also juices greens as well as harder veggies like carrots and beets. It works on everything from apples and pineapple to ginger and turmeric root to the veggies I mentioned above--and more! My boyfriend and I drink juice very day, and the fact that we can make up enough juice to last for 3 days (because of the slow speed and the slower oxidation) is pretty awesome. Less work! Despite multiple parts, it is very easy to clean.
