We recommend you contact Omega directly on this question as it appears there is conflicting information being shared. as we understand it (as learned directly from Omega), this juicer is not available in the US for sale at this time and there are no plans to bring it into the US.

yes I love my Omega juicer 8224 I get one for me here, and bring one for my sister living in Martinique FWI on 220 volt

I can only compare it to my old Champion juicer, which was such a pain to operate with leafy greens.(the hole was too small and the leaves would make the plunger stick). So by comparison the Breville is AWESOME, I juiced some kale a few days ago and got a decent amount, the pulp was very dry. Have not tried other greens, but imagine it would be efficient.

I believe the only difference is - one has a DVD which is "bundled" with the juicer, the other one does not.

After researching a lot online, the Omega was the winner to me in what I discovered in reviews & videos concerning juicing greens and wheatgrass. That's what I was looking for in a juicer. I have juiced leafy greens with hard vegetables & hard fruits and it does very well, very, very minimal foam. I have not juiced wheatgrass yet.

They do sell a 220 volt version of this model and it's numbered 8226 instead of 8006. You can contact the company or just do an amazon search for 220 volt omega juicers.

If you want to juice primarily wheat grass (or greens in general) this juicer isn't the best choice. Look at the omega 800x series (8003-8006).

I have the Omega 8006. I have decided on this juicer for juicing mostly greens. The difference between 8006 and the other models besides the color and pricing, * the 8006 includes a GE Ultem Auger which is 8x stronger than most other plastics. * Powerful gear reduction is equivalent to a 2HP Motor. * comes with a 15 year warranty. Here is a video where the 8005 and 8006 is compared. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r437hboI_U found a video where the 8006,8005, and the vrt 330 is compared juicing wheatgrass !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rchPqw2Z1g

I just sold my new (4 Month old) Omega 8004; I also sold my Omega VERT 350. I will not experiment with anymore juicers, as IMO, there is no better juicer on the market than a Champion!

To be honest, there is no comparisons between the two. You're looking at two completely different juicers making this is more of an apples and potatoes comparison. If you're looking to juice more leafy greens like lemon grass, wheat grass, etc... then go with the Omega as it is better for that. Otherwise go with the Tribest slow star. Now you can compare the Slowstar to the Omega Vert 350, but even then they both offer different features. I recommend searching through discount juicer's videos on you tube. He offers a lot of comparisons and reviews. I hope this helps.

Mostly stainless steel. However on the inside there are some plastic pieces. Not all stainless steel. I don't think you can get any juicer that is fully stainless steel. My omega is plastic and that cost over $200. This is a pretty good juicer I own this one too. I started with the plastic jack lalaine lasted over 5 yrs. I Graduated to this one. So far i had it for over a yr with a lot of usesage almost everyday. Then later I found the omega for a good deal and couldn't let it go. Both are great. Just somewhat different purposes. The jack lalaine is a quick juicer, omega is a slow juicer. Bottom line it's mostly stainless steel with some plastic pieces on the inside.

Totally with both thumbs up, the Kuvings...I have the red one...or B6000 I don't remember the series. ..but that's the newest version I think. Its slower than others which is a PLUS because it provides more nutrients than any other slow juicer of theirs. I made a research till 4am before I got my Kuvings juicer and I never regret it for a second. Many people say it takes awhile to clean it up but come on, nothing in life comes for free. I adore my juicer and I enjoy it to its fullest! Good luck :) and stay nutritious.

I just got off a half hour conversation with a really nice lady at Omega, and I had the same question. The NC800 and NC900 are identical, by the way - the only difference is the color. The differences between the NC800/900 and the 8006 is the larger chute and adjustible end-cap. That adjustible end-cap lets you fin Omee tune the amount of pulp in your juice. The lady at Omega said some people can find there's a learning curve to using the end-cap. I just ordered the NC800 because of the wider chute. By the way, the J8004 and J8006 are identical machines, just different colors: J8004 is white, J8006 is chrome COLORED (not chrome metal). The NC8004 is cheaper because it takes an extra step to apply the chrome color.

A little bit of pulp makes it into the juice. It's pretty minor and I just think of it as "fiber." Depends on what you're using, too. Greens with tough stems like kale probably do it a bit more than say, spinach. I compared it to a Breville and the juice quality and amount of product needed to produce the juice was way superior on the Omega. Lots of waste on the Breville and it is WAY more trouble to clean. Hope that helps!

The juicers are the same except the 8004 is white and less expensive, and the 8006 is chrome colored (both are plastic) and a bit more pricey. I opted for the white, and have no regrets. Here is a YouTube video from discountjuicers.com comparing the two, but I bought mine from Amazon. Fastest shipping ever! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGMXylpfGSY
