Its my first juicer and I am quite happy with it. Easy to clean and works perfect. Not sure about soft fruits like persimmon, all fruit was waisted.

Please be aware, that the 8006 is sold in Europe under a different model name. The 8226 European model is identical to the 8006, but it is built to be compatible with a 220 volt power supply. Other than this, no changes have been made to the motor or parts.Since its UK launch in 2010, the Omega Juicer 8006 Nutrition Centre has led the market, carving a global reputation as one of the best single auger masticating juicers ever made. A durable build, eye-catching design and comprehensive warranty have helped to set Omega Juicers apart from the field. With the best juice yield from a single auger juicer that we've recorded, the 8006 is also fantastic at processing both leafy greens and wheatgrass and it sees heavy use of premium materials such as GE Ultem throughout its key juicing components. Key Features With a gentle 80 RPM operation, the augur in this juicer prevents heat from building up and reduces oxidisation as it processes ingredients. This helps to preserve the essential enzymes and vitamins found within them, which are gently released by the strong crushing power of the 8006. This all results in juices that have unequalled nutritional value and taste.

A really great investment - compact and powerful it really produces the goods; the juiced remains and squeezed dry! Each of these functions can be easily carried out in the 8006 with the aid of the homogenising blank and the various additional accessories. All together this leads to a very versatile product that has moved well beyond the bounds of being a juicer. When used to it's full potential you could make a huge range of foods, including: sorbets, nut butters, breadcrumbs, pates, coffee, herbs and much more in the 8006. Simple and Refined Accessories included: Homeginising attachment, a 2nd pusher, coarse screen, cleaning brush, a recipe juice book, sieve, pulp and juice collector.The 8006 isn't simply a juicer, it is a full nutrition centre, that can lend itself to aid any area of kitchen life. In particular it is brilliant for the processing of different types of food and has a variety of useful functions in this area.

Our Verdict Having strong durable parts makes juicing that little bit easier and Omega has not disappointed in terms of high-quality parts. Using an automatic wiping system whilst juicing enables the screen to be free of pulp. As seen in most Hurom vertical models, this easy clearing system allows far more juice to be extracted and also makes it easy to clean the screen. The augur in the VRT452 is super strong as it’s made from GE-Ultem which is recognised as being 8 times stronger than standard plastics. Having a juice flap makes it possible to mix your juice prior to serving it as well as getting rid of foam, drips and spillages onto the kitchen surface. Homogenising Attachment The coarse screen can turn the machine into a blender to make delicious smoothies, or juice your vegetables and keep all the pulp in to make a soup base or cooking sauce. The Omega homogenising attachment is simple to attach to your VRT and turns your juicer into a masher which is ideal for mashing frozen fruits to make sorbet, baby food, or mashing boiled vegetables. Slow Juicing A unique low-speed technology system makes sure the maximum amount of juice can be extracted from produce. This technology allows the juice to be collected easily and keep all of its vitamins, minerals and enzymes. The additional benefit of using a slow speed is that little or no foaming occurs, unlike a more conventional dual gear juicer.Each of these functions can be easily carried out in the 8006 with the aid of the homogenising blank and the various additional accessories.

This is my first juicer, so I am slightly unqualified to review. However, following Jason Vale's recipes, this has produced amazing juices. It is clearly very solid and powerful (which is presumably what you pay for!) and the pulp comes out almost dry, indicating little/no nutrient waste. Exceptionally easy to rinse through parts before enjoying the juice. Haven't tried the other attachments. I tend to prepare 2 juices at the same time by chopping everything up and putting in a big bowl before turning on. I do wish the chute was a little wider so I didn't have to chop so much, but again maybe there's a reason for this - Im a juicing virgin after all! Once you’ve finished juicing, simply pour a glass of water in and run it through the machine to complete the self-cleaning process. This allows rapid cleaning between juices as the juice flap gives you the ability to retain water for cleaning inside the juicing container, enabling the silicone blades to carry out the majority of work before you take the juicer apart. I am completely in love with my new Omega juicer! It does exactly what it says it will do... makes delicious & nutritious juice! You do have to cut up whatever you want to juice, but as it is so easy to use and clean and makes such delicious juice, I will never hold the cutting against it. I feel genuinely healthier after using it and find the whole juicing process really therapeutic! It is more expensive than other products, but it has a 15 year guarantee and it is a quality piece of equipment so I cannot recommend it enough! Suitable for continuous juicing due to the pulp container. During operation, pulp is automatically removed and stored in the pulp container which allows the juicing to continue.
