The only other masticating juicer I have tried was the Champion, and the juice was so pulpy, I got rid of it. Is the Omega juice free of pulp?

We gave our Champion to our daughter when she was diagnosed with cancer. She lives several states away, and I really miss it. Sounds like this one is at least equivalent if not better. Thanks!

I tried to juice an apple and it came out full of pulp so much that it resembled apple sauce over juice. I returned it. Mine might have been defective because I have no idea how anyone would use one like I had though.

We gave it to our daughter as a gift, but she used it before leaving and it worked great! She juiced fruit, veggies and wheat grass. Pulp came out dry and almost clear and juice goes out through another area.

This juicer lets very little pulp into the juice. I use the included screen which filters out any remaining pulp for a perfectly smooth juice

We've been using the Omega for quite some time now and NO issues with pulp. It did come with a screen to put on top of the cups as you're juicing, which may help with any pulp issues.

Yes there are really two masticating juicers in the US one is the champion and the other is the Norwalk (costs over $2000) It has small teeth that finely "chew" more like chop with ultra vine teeth. even the toughest roots like carrots and beets into a super fine slush, then it compresses the slush Juice comes out through a screen. Omegas and other single auger tupes advertise themselves as masticating but they are really crushing the produce. That's why the champion is more efficient for carrots and beets which truly require masticating, and less efficient (in it's standard configuration) for greens and wheatgrass which require far less shredding.

No pulp!No "extra" attachment to clean for the pulp either as the blades just pulverize even the toughest fibers. I've had my Bullet for a month now and put it through the test ... Large kale, pineapple , nuts all get ground to extra fine drinkibility! Buy it and love it ;)

Hey Barbara, Let me tell you this...by far, this is the best juicer for the dollars...by far...I have owned many centrifugal type juicers...First to your question...Yes....this is more Froth with this juicer...but I do not believe this is much of a problem. The motor, is much more powerful than its competitors...like Jack lalanes juicer. If you refrigerate you vegetables and fruits...there will not be effected by the higher speed, and more power motor...just a little more froth. Here is why this juicer ROCKS. I owned the Jack lalane for many years...and it is definitely a very good juicer...However...it does have a few problems...1. The center plunger can Jam...It has a square side...so if you don't put it in correctly....it will get stuck...and then you have to hammer it out with a stick. The Omega's plunger has a guide and cannot jam 2. The motor on the Jack lalane can stall out if you put to much in at one time...it does not happen often...but it can jam...then you have to take the machine apart and clean it...to unjam...the Omega....never jams! 3. The jack lalane plastic on the lid and plunger...stains very easily...the Omega...does not stain...and seems to clean very easily...as if there is some special coating on the plastic...PLUS...the Omega has a stainless steel main bin..which really cleans easily.. ***All I can tell you..is that I am extremely happy with the Omega...there is never anything that is absolutely perfect..but this come close!

The only thing that comes out is the juice. Sometimes I run all the pulp and scraps back through again. You will be disappointed if you like pulp.

I love my juicer. What a machine! I just brought in some key limes to try before answering your inquiry. I was able to juice them by pressing my palm over the limes. Not perfect like the oranges but works.

I still have my Juiceman Jr. and I don't believe it's any more work to clean my Omega and actually the basket is definitely quicker since it is all metal. Just put it in soapy water immediately for a quick cleanup. I love my Omega!

I was wondering the exact same thing. Does anyone know if any breville juicers can juice wheatgrass? You cant juice wheatgrass the same way that you juice other fruits and vegetables... correct?

You get a little more kale juice but not much. A masticating juicer will yeild far more juice from kale leaves, it also in my opinion makes the kale less harsh. I use both the centrifugal and masticating juicer. Its more clean up, but the end results are better.

Yes, the pulp is expelled during the juicing process. However, a small amount of foam may appear on the surface of the juice. I just stir this in. I then save the pulp and stir it into corn muffins so no nutrients or fiber is lost!

I had the Ikon and recently purchased the Hamilton Beach 67650 Big Mouth Pro Juice Extractor. The Big Mouth actually is more effective at juicing leafy greens than the Ikon. I usually felt the need to put greens back through the Ikon and juice again and I would always get a bit more juice, but not the Big Mouth. The pulp is already quite dry. I do find it helpful to experiment with each juicer because it makes a difference how you load the vegs in the chute and push them through. Overall, the Big Mouth has been more effective on leafy greens than the Ikon and it's way cheaper too.

The pulp varies according to how wet the produce is when you juice it. I rinse mine right before and don't bother to dry it. The pulp is moist. I have no problem with that. I often use the pulp on salads. I do not juice pineapple, strawberries or oranges. They do not do well in most juicers. I use them for smoothies in a blender. The stainless basket makes this juicer the best choice for me. Another popular brand has a plastic basket which does not hold up. I also like the separate hopper so I do not have to stop and empty it.

Eric: it does have pulp that goes out the juice side, but this is caught in the screen if you choose to use it (it fits on top of the juice catching container. The only draw back to that is you need to rinse it often so the juice can drip through it, but its very simple. I mostly juice spinach, haven't tried much other leafy greens yet. I'm new to juicing, but do really like this machine (its very quiet). I hope this helps you out.

Yes, it is like most other "masticating" juicer (since it does use any high-speed blades to shred the fruit pulp, nor any centrifuge to extract the liquid juice afterward) It more or less squeezes the pulp slowly (as if masticating the pulp) then forces the mashed pulp past a metal screen to enable the fluid juice to be separated out and into the collection tube.

With the Omega, I find that carrots have to be rather larger, sturdier pieces (baby carrots don't work well for juicing), and leafy greens can be problematic, too, as they sort of just 'sit & spin'. I get a little out of them when done with carrots and other hardier veg, but on their own they don't do well... Other than that, it is an excellent machine.

I haven't notice. I like my Champion juicer. This is the second one one have bought because the first one i gave to my brother.

I can only speak from my experience from the Tribest product. It would have trouble juicing anything hard like carrots, beets, etc. It would continually stop. I would have to clean it out every few minutes. It was not worth the effort. I never owned the Omega product. I can not recommend the Tribest piece of junk.
