Hi, this Omega "heavy Duty" Juicer 8008 is for commercial use? I´m starting a new line in my bussines. Tks!.

I can't attest to its durability since I don't use it commercially. But do note that it is slow (by design) to extract the most out of leafy greens. So if you are using this for production purposes, you may find it to be too slow.

in the description this particular juicer is referred to as having a "commercial grade motor". i guess you should be able to use it commercially . with that being said, time must be taken to account.

Not sure. Read folder inside package. At this cost, who cares about a warranty. Great juicer!

Apart from larger feeding chute, the juicing screen is different, in addition to more squeezing on the front (end cap plus adjusting dial). I understand from Omega Juicers' Customer Support/ Sales team that they plan to sell the spare parts for NC800 online from June/ July 2014 onwards. While the machine part is same, you can just buy the additional parts and use it as NC800.

We do not recommend putting sugar cane in an Omega 8003 juicer. It is too hard, fibrous, woody. Will damage auger, and if jams juicer it could burn out motor. I have sold juicers for over 40 years, Ron at Fern

The NC900 can easily juice the harder fruits and veggies. Garlic, beets and root veggies juice great. The challenge is the softer fruits and veggies, they tend to clog the juicer so it is important to alternate soft then hard. I chose the NC900after many months of wanting the Omega 8006. I did a comparison and the NC900 has a larger shoot kind of an upgraded model than the 8006. I am so glad I purchased this juicer! It is amazing!

Yes, it will work with all of the above. I usually put a combination of crunchy and soft veggies and fruits through mine. I concur with Dennis B below. The quality of juice from the Omega is the best but if you are concerned about quantity from soft fruits, consider a centrifugal machine.

My Blendtec leaves no chunks. If your going to be juicing a lot of greens? You should look at the Omega 8004, it's a Juicer, not a blender. As Blenders go, I feel the Blendtec is the best thing going.

I have had an omega 8005 for 3+years which I use everyday, making about 1.5 qts.. Really liked it until 4 months ago when the juicing screen developed a crack. This crack is progressively getting worse and it's just a matter of time before it fails completely. I have been unable to get a replacement from Omega and they do not respond to emails sent thru their "contact us" option. All the part suppliers have this item on back order and I'm on a waiting list w/ one of them. What i have learned is that the screen has a defect and the redesigned screen also is prone to breaking. I'm changing brands solely because of Omega's lousy customer service. I have had an omega 8005 for 3+years which I use everyday, making about 1.5 qts..

Kuvings NJE-3580U Masticating juicer is less expensive. Other functing wise, i have never used Omega juicer. I encourge you to do more research on the comparison of Kuvings and Omega juicer.

The 8008 is the chrome coated version of the latest home use model of Omega horizontal juicers. The screen on this one if out of thicker plastic than the 8006 screen. It also has 2 stainless steel juicing surfaces instead of just one like the 8006. The hopper on the top is larger. The handle design is also different. It does NOT have the larger feed chute and extra dial for adjusting for various veg/fruits etc. Those parts are on the NC800HDS and NC900HDC. Omega warranties these for 15 years parts and motor the same as the 8006 (also NC800/900).

I haven't tried juicing Wheat Grass yet, only because it seems like no shops around me don't sell it. But, I have juiced mint leaves, cliantro, parsley and Basil. I've seen on youtube, where they use the Omega to juice Wheat grass. One last thing, the Omega 8004 and Omega 8006 are exactly the same machine except for different color. So if you're on a budget the 8004 will do just fine.
