After starting juicing and going through 4 different centrifugal juicers (including a popular brand out there that Joe the Juicer turned me on to..... bad choice and a waste of money) I decided I needed to do some serious investigating and find a different juicer that would work better for me and not break down! I found the Omega slow masticating on some online reviews and youtube demos. I was completely taken with how well this juicer worked. I went out and purchased it right away and have not looked back!!!! Hands down this juicer is the best on the market as far as I'm concerned! It amazes me how dry the pulp is and the yield of juice it makes! If anyone asks me what kind of juicer I use...... I tell them there is only one for me.... my OMEGA!
