I don't know why I wasted so many years using a plastic hand juicer when this thing existed.  Does a much better job in literally a fraction of the time.  Super easy to use and easy to keep clean.  Will never go back!

So much easier to use than the juicers without the metal piece. I really feel as if I extract all of the juice when I use this device. Its also easier on my hands.

Last month I purchased a J8007 juicer. I cannot be more disappointed with this product. The only vegetables that I can use are carrots, beets and celeries. The pulp of cucumbers, apples, pineapples,etc. never go through the screen and end cap to be deposited in the pulp container.
Two weeks ago, I called Omega customer service and the only solution that I was given was 'wash the screen in the dishwasher and leave the end cap at the most open position', recommendations that obviously didn't add any improvement on the juicer behavior.
If the J8007 cannot juice apples, pineapples or cucumbers Omega/Amazon should prior warn customers. Please buy a juicer which could be used for juicing.

I used to own a 20 year old juicer but decided to get a new one, and in comparison this thing is on hyper-turbo. I almost feel it is overkill for the simple things I put into it like carrots & oranges, a little like feeding a lamb to a T-rex. The bonus of using it on my feeble vegetables and fruit is that the oomph combined with the large opening and pulp bucket means actually making the juice is not very time consuming. It also seems to extract a lot of juice as others have said, a couple of carrots and 2 oranges yielded a whole pint glass for me and even though it was my first time using it, that part probably only took me a minute or two.

I was quite surprised by the amount of power as it is comparatively inexpensive, when you turn it on for the first time it is a "hold on to your hats" kind of moment, because it is a bit loud, and if you don't hold on to it at least a little it will occasionally start moving from the vibrations. I would almost recommend "boxing it in" with something heavy if you are going to make a lot of juice, but the only thing that comes to mind are bricks, which I at least don't keep in my kitchen.

Cleanup is pretty fast if you do 3 things:
1. Do put a plastic bag in the pulp bucket as they suggest in the instructions, it will save you from washing that part.
2. Do put a piece of tape over the opening on the back of the clear lid as suggested by other reviewers. The first thing that happened when I stuck the first carrot in was I was seeing a surprising orange snowfall in my kitchen. WIth the tape it no longer flings out random bits at high speed.
3. Do put the plunger in immediately after dropping the piece of fruit or vegetable in. Especially if you are juicing soft and moist things like oranges, you will otherwise quite quickly notice a surprising amount of orange juice and pulp in your hair. Using the plunger also serves to stabilize some of the vibrations which would otherwise move the juicer, at least on a smooth surface like my counter.

While I did not purchase my juicer from amazon. I really would like to put my two cents on the hundred dollar purchase you are considering. So far I have juices carrots, kale, and pineapple. I have been juicing with a blender and a paint strainer bag up until this puchase. There is a massive amount of juice  left on the pulp it sprays all over the lid and such and just stays there and never makes it into the juice receptacle. Super bummed with this juicer ... and I don't have the heart to admit to my husband it doesn't work well at all. So... on the plus side .. it is MUCH faster than a blender... I just still need a paint strainer to make juicing worth the money I spend. Very disappointing for 100 year anniversary edition... the book that came with it was nice as well.

I borrowed this juicer from my mom for a few days while I decided if I wanted to buy my own. I'd already been researching but since I'd never used a juicer before I really didn't know what to look for.  However, after one use I figured out pretty quickly that I wasn't going to be buying this juicer.  I'd been comparing it to the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Breville-JE98XL-Juice-Fountain-Plus-850-Watt-Juicing-Machine/dp/B003R28HWQ/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Breville JE98XL Juice Fountain Plus 850-Watt Juicing Machine</a>&nbsp;and had seen videos showing how it worked and how to clean it. Just from those videos I could tell that it was a much better unit.  Why the Breville is better...

1. The juice catch cup - the JL doesn't come with anything to catch the juice. The spout points straight out and is fairly low so you won't fit anything under it taller than a solo cup. Also, since it points straight out sometimes when the juice comes out fast it spurts over whatever cup you are using to catch the juice (making a mess).

2. Cleaning - To clean the JL you have to use a little tool to take it apart (since it's already messy when you take it apart, YOU GET MESSY). Also this means more parts to clean.  The Breville easily comes apart, has fewer pieces to clean and the design of said pieces make them easier to clean just because there are fewer places for pulp to get caught.

3. Speed - with the Jack Lalane it would take as long to juice the produce as it did to prep it (including cutting up any large items, peeling citrus, etc). With the Breville pieces of produce were juiced before I could even grab the next piece to put in the juicer.

I had 3 Champion Juicers since 1981
Pros:
- very durable and it will last many decades
- very easy and fast cleaning (by hand only)
- lower speed RPM then other juicers (lower speed preserves nutrients)
- can juice almost anything
- very little wasted
Cons:
- only hand washing (can't use dishwasher)
- heavy and requires some upper body strength to juice (might be an issue for some eldery)
Also note that instruction call for using bleach (1:7 ration) for heavy stain cleaning. Don't do it! Juicer Components tend to expand a little after soaking in Bleach solution and after that it is more difficult to assemble and also I noticed some reduction in juicing output (due to tighter fit inside)
Conclusion: Excellent product. You are getting a lot for your money. Definitely worth buying.

Too much waste when juicing.  Much of the healthy parts of the item being juiced is sent to the throw away chamber.  You may even end up with more waste than you do actual useful product.  Way too powerful in speed for the average home user.  I feel you are better off with a home blender or a mobile mixer that does not separate the item.

I selected this juicer because it was my first time juicing and I didn't know how often I would juice. It started off great! However, I ended up using it once a day on a daily basis & by the second month... I felt the quality of juicing wasn't as good as when I first got it. I feel this is a good juicer if you're not going to juice that often.

It definitely juices but so much of the fruit/vegetables goes into the pulp section completely whole.  To juice my concord grapes I had to run it through about a dozen times.  I could literally wring more juice out of the pulp even after that many times.  Something must be missing for it to let that much solids through. I think I could do better manually.

I make smoothies daily using my Cuisineart blender, and the end results using this Ninja were just the same as my Cuisineart blender. I was in the market for a juicer, and someone told me to get this Ninja as if it would be to my liking. I agree, it makes the smoothie really smooth, but it does leave small seeds and pieces of veges/fruits just the same as my blender. The reason I wanted a juicer is to eliminate that problem by juicing things that leave behind particles and then pouring the juice into my smoothies. I didn't need two blenders, especially not a $79 one that didn't do anything great, so I took this one back to Target where I bought it from. I took away 2 stars for not being a juicer as advertised and for wasting my time. The three stars is because it would be a great blender if I actually needed one.

This got jammed on us, on the first try of juicing the carrot juice.
Instruction states if the juicer malfunction or doesn't work at all,  it's probably because of the built in security feature. And tells you to wait for an hour, so we waited for an hour and tried back on again. Nothing happened. So I cleaned the the juicer thoroughly and then it worked. Just the cleaning proces of the juicer is very painful, specially the pulp extractor, it's hard to reach in and I had to use hard water sprayer to get them out.

Apart from these issues, Juicer works great when it does.

I received my juicer today, and after one use, though the juice was okay these problems were noted:

After one use, the inside edge of a plastic part the seats underneath the juice shredding part was frayed, apparently from the mere vibration of the motor.  The part is cheap plastic, and should not be frayed after one use.

I felt the juicing was inefficient, since the "waste" was wet and eatable, with pieces of vegetable that were not ground, as well as small pieces of carrot, and even unground parts of a juicy red pepper.  Therefor leftover "compost" consisting of the fibrous portion of beats, carrots, diakon, apple, red pepper and kale was damp, soft, eatable, and indicates that the vegetables were not well juiced.

The juicer itself is huge, and takes up a lot of counter space.  Even some of the parts are large, and make it messy and make it unwieldy and a pain to wash.  Food is messy coming out of the plastic nozzle of the machine, and you may find your counter top wet with some juice or "compost".

My wife previously bought a juicer from Taiwan called Super Mum for roughly the same price ( purchased about 2 years ago).  The top juice container portion of that machine is now leaking and needs to be replaced (difficult to do without going to Taiwan, as the machine is unfortunately not sold in the States).  However that machine is more durable, works somewhat like a vita mix, with less moving parts, and is much more durable, with less and better made parts.  It is also less messy, and less hassle to wash.  The Super Mum will run circles around this machine, and does not produce waste or leftover.  Everything will amazingly be ground into juice - no pulp is leftover with SuperMom and therefor, unlike this machine you co not need a large, separate unwieldy container for the leftover "pulp/fiber."  Obviously, a lot of people have given this juicer a great rating - better than most juicers.  My question is, how many were still happy after 4-6 months?  Obviously, those who still love it can leave comments and tell me how wrong my assessment is.  From my perspective, if this is a "great juicer" what does that say about the rest of the field.  From my perspective, cheaply made, messy, unwieldy, though the motor point is H-E-A-V-Y and may last a long time.  Don't give me a well made motor with cheap, easily fray-able or breakable plastic parts.  CHEAPO -

I might add that my wife intensely dislikes the machine even more intensely than I, for the same reasons.

I am returning this machine.  I plan to replace it with a Vita Mix which I believe is easy to wash, not unwieldy, lasts forever (I gather), and sadly cost a lot more.  Unlike other buyers, and there are clearly many that are enthusiastic about this machine, I was not impressed.

I have my doubts that the plastic "seat" that was frayed would have lasted very many uses.  If I kept it, it probably wouldn't in my opinion last long, and therefor I have given it one star.  I myself would not recommend this juicer.

Sorry.  I really wanted to like this juicer.  Oh, by the way, it is made in Chi Na, like almost everything else these days.  The box says, "DO NOT RETURN PRODUCT TO STORE.  If you are experiencing difficulties, contact Breville Consumer Service".  Might this suggest that Breville is aware of significant unhappiness over a few month ownership period and wants to make return a more difficult process?  Your guess is as good as mine.  Anyhow, thank goodness for Amazon's friendly return policy.  I suggest that if you buy this, buy this juicer, get if from Amazon or another vendor with a highly friendly return policy in case you dislike it as much as I.  For me, using it one time was enough.

I have bought the exact same equipment from World Market. It is poorly made, does not extract as much juice as it should and it has many weak joints that loosen up if you apply force. It looks good when new and does nor rust. At least yet. If you will be doing a lot of juicing, I recommend on getting a different one. You will pay more, but it will be worth it.

I thought it was time to write a review on this unit as I have been using it almost daily for over 10 years now. I previously had a Champion, a K&K(only some older folks may have heard of this one- it was a poor mans version of the famous Norwalk juicer and ,interestingly ,made in the same town as the Norwalk), a Phoenix juicer(another old juicer that had a 10 year warranty). I first started juicing when I was 19 and now I am 52 so  I have been juicing a while. The Green Star makes very high quality juice and I always recommend to people to get a high quality stainless mess screen to filter the juice and remove all remaining pulp that the juicer doesn't remove. In this way, I think you will find the juice indistinguishable  from a Norwalk. The downside to this juicer is the parts will turn brown and funky over time. When I say over time , I mean months. The only way I have found to effectively remove this staining and  gunk, is to soak all the parts in a gallon of chlorox which I hate doing as that is some toxic stuff but it is a great way to clean the juicer especially if you want to sell it for some reason. The Green Star takes some work to operate as well. If you are very old and or are frail, I recommend you get the Hurom. While not as high quality as the Green Star, it works very well, makes high quality juice, and is a breeze to operate. The other thing is that if you want to  juice just a very watery fruit or vegetable the machine will back up and you will have to loosen the pulp gauge which means you will lose some juice. Since I have no interest in drinking straight celery, cucumber, apple or pineapple juice, for example, this issue is of no concern to me.

The juicer was working fine for one month. Then one day when juicing carrots the plastic portion of the strainer cup snapped and broke. Now I am unable to fasten the lid of the juicer as a result unable to juice. Extremenly dissappointed! Is there a way I can get a new strainer cup esp since the juicer is still under warranty.

The first time I used the juicer it performed spectacularly.  After 3 weeks of juicing once a day, I find that the pulp jams up in the spinner and doesn't drop into the pulp receptacle.  Any suggestions?
