Omega NC900HDC Juice Extractor and Nutrition System Slow Masticating Dual-Stage Extraction with Adjustable Settings, Plastic, Metallic

I previously had an Omega juicer purchased around 15 years ago. It's been an excellent appliance. I've used it for juicing, making hummus, tahini and vegetable purees. I never quite got proficient at using it for pasta, but it would be worth trying again. My old juicer would probably have lasted another 15 years if not for a silly mistake I made. I got careless and grabbed a metal spoon (iced tea spoon) to brush a piece of fruit from the tray into the feed tube. Somehow I dropped the spoon when it was directly over the feed tube. It went straight down and jammed the device. This motor has a lot of torque! The metal spoon shattered the auger. Everything jammed so hard that I couldn't take it apart afterwards. Amazingly, the motor still worked but the attachments were broken. I was surprised to find a new Omega juicer on sale for about the same price as the replacement parts. It actually cost less than the one I bought 15 years ago. Happiness! I strongly recommend this juicer. A masticating juicer is very efficient but slower than the "blender" variety. Cut the fruit or vegetables into reasonably small pieces and feed slowly. The new model comes with an improved juice collection cup and additional nozzles for pasta. It's great! A hint if you are juicing: the fine particulates will create a "foam" on top of your juice. It's harmless, of course, but can be easily scraped off, if desired. Or you can filter the juice through a strainer. The juicer comes with recipes. I recommend creating your own based on your preference for raw vegetables and seasonal fruit. My favorite is a combination of apples, celery, kale, lemon and a little bit of fresh ginger. I only have one complaint, and it is a small one. The top of the hopper seems to be permanently attached to the the feed tube and drum. It's supposed to detach. This makes it slightly less convenient to clean, but it's not a significant issue. Speaking of cleaning: if you are juicing, resist the urge to sit down and sample your creation right away. First, disassemble the juicer and clean everything thoroughly. Make sure every bit of residue is cleaned off of the juicing screen. You don't want any fruit or vegetable residue to dry on the fine mesh. After this brief pause, pour the juice over ice and enjoy.

Leider können wir die Saftpresse nicht ausprobieren, da sie keinen europäischen Stecker für die Steckdose hat. Wenn wir aus Deutschland bestellen, dann geht man auch davon aus das der richtige Stecker geliefert wird. Auch in der Beschreibung wird nicht darauf aufmerksam gemacht, dass die Saftpresse nicht für die EU Steckdose geeignet ist. Rücklieferung geht in die USA 😕 Kosten für die Rücklieferung müssen wir bezahlen. Erstattung der Transportkosten ist noch in Klärung.

Outstanding. This is my 3rd Omega juicer. The first one I had for nearly 15 years. Eventually, I upgraded, although the juicer still worked, it was ready for retirement, and I wanted a newer model. I bought an Omega similar to this one (sorry, I can't remember the model number), but the chute was smaller. Amazing machine. Loved it. But I completely trashed it through no fault of the machines -- a long complicated story, involving a move, not paying attention, and some strange once in a lifetime variables. After two years, I trashed my beloved second Omega, that I used for everything, including wheatgrass. As I had a lot of life changes going on, I picked up a much less expensive Breville to get me through for a while. Was not happy. Although it did give me "juice," the amount of waste in the pulp was painful to see, and I'm not one to spend the time to re-juice pulp. It's a messy, time consuming process. I gifted much of the pulp to friends for compost (I don't have a composter set up, yet), and could use some pulp for soup bases, raw crackers, etc., but I wanted more JUICE, less waste. The cheap Breville lasted me less than two years, and then it busted. I stepped up to the plate and bought this Omega. The best Omega I've owned yet. Love, love, love the larger chute. Yes, it's slow, but the pulp is nice and dry, and I know that it's extracted as much juice as possible. For those who don't like using the masticating juicer for softer items (e.g., apples, cucumbers), there's an old juicing trick that holds true for anything softer: just put in a few softer items, and then the really hard fibrous greens or roots (beets, carrots, sweet potato) or celery. Mix up hard and soft items, alternate, and everything will go through fine. Machine clean-up takes a minute. While a masticating juicer does take longer to juice than a faster machine, the clean-up is much quicker and easier. And the larger chute is wonderful -- still some chopping of some things required, but the trade-off is a fully extracted juice with as little waste as possible. I adore this machine. In a strange way, I feel no regrets about the second machine being accidentally trashed, because I would have used it for fifteen years, and this machine was worth the wait, with its larger chute, increased efficiency, and better juice and pulp holders. Well worth the wait. Highest recommendations. p.s. Over the years, I've dealt with Omega customer service many times, and they have always been fantastic. Another reason I'm a loyal Omega customer.

The machine has a burning smell and smoke comes out

Es buen equipó, se calienta muy rápido no sé si sea normal, hasta ahora lo he usado tres veces y el resultado que he obtenido es muy bueno.
