"A good juicer but....."
Overall this is a well built juicer. The only drawback to this juicer is the opening for the fruit and vegetable. It is very small so I have to make sure that I cut them to correct sizes or they will not fit the opening.

"Good Juicer for the Money"
We need a replacement for our Juiceman Jr and after some research settled on the Omega 4000. Compared to the Juiceman, this thing is fabulous. The first one we received had some issues with one of the safety sensors on the lid latch, and the unit would not turn on until we opened and closed the latch several times. Amazon replaced the original promptly and we've been very happy with its performance.

It juices everything we've tried effortlessly, including carrots which gave our Juiceman a real workout, causing it to rumble, grind and sound like it was about to explode. We are impressed with the 4000's quiet efficiency.

The unit is reasonably easy to take apart to clean, though we are not thrilled with the screw assembly that holds the blade in place. It's too easy to lose and you have to be careful to make sure the blade is properly seated.

Some minor negatives. Make sure the blade has stopped moving before you attempt to remove the lid. If you do this while the blade is moving it can cause the plastic chute to come into contact with the blade and tear apart the plastic tube.

Also, the spout continues to drip well after you're finished juicing and if your juice cup is full, you are likely to wind up with juice on the counter while swapping cups. It also sputters sometimes, splattering juice around the counter.

Overall this as an excellent juicer with very minor flaws.

"Get Juiced!"
Great juicer! It's easy to use, easy to clean w/ disessembley and reessembley. It's a good product for the money.

"A great juicer for my apple crop"
Compared to the old version of juicers where you had to remove the pulp build up by taking the machine apart, this one is a dream! The pulp easily ejects "out the back door". The juice quality is excellent. Besides apples, I have tried it on carrots and it does a great job.

"Buyer BEWARE!!"
Buyer BEWARE! I ordered a Omega 4000 juicer as a gift for my father a few months back and the thing is absolute junk! Not only is there more juice coming out of the pulp than what is actually coming out of the spout but the pulp ejector is constantly getting clogged. I notified LivingRight (The company I purchased from.) about this and they stated that I would have to contact the manufacturer and if the manufacturer decided it was defective then they would exchange it. And when I told them they should make their return policy up front and clear (If you order from the above mentioned company PLEASE check their return policy!)they claimed that their return policy is exactly the same as other companies. WRONG! Other companies let you return products that do not work! And when I contacted Omega they claimed that they can't do anything because I did not purchase directly through them! Even though they obviously authorized this company to sell their products! So that 15 year warranty means nothing! At the time, I paid $219.95 for this useless piece of junk. My father ended up purchasing a cheap juicer at Walmart for around $30 that worked better than the Omega 4000! And by the way, Walmart would have let him return it if the thing didn't work!

Don't spend $200 for a crappy juicer. Save your money get a cheaper juicer because it will perform better than this one and if you get it locally then at least you can return it if it doesn't work or if you really want to see for yourself then purchase it directly through Omega, otherwise they will not honor the warranty or perhaps they just believe this is the way a juicer should work.

What our customer's say!

"Omega 4000 Juicer ", Super product, we can juice continuously, pulp ejects out the back. My wife likes it too.

"Average Juicer", This is my first juicer. Based on no expectations, here are my problems with this machine: chute is small, the juice shoots out of the top before you can even put your hand over it, the pulp is still wet, I kept getting chunks of fruit ejected, I had juice all over the counter instead of in the glass, it didn't give me the amount of juice that the recipe called for. I also thought the juice spout was low and you did not get a glass to catch the juice.

While cleaning wasn't too bad, it was a hassle unscrewing the nut that holds the basket in. A simple brush cleans it quite well - however, a brush is NOT provided. I personally thought the machine was relatively quiet.

I did buy this from CanningPantry.com - BIG MISTAKE - due to the problems listed above I contacted them for a return. Only to find out that their 100% guarentee is a lie. Once they found out I used it one time they refused to contact me or discuss it's return. Do yourself a favor and NEVER BUY FROM canningpantry.com.

"Major Disappointment, Beware.", I bought the omega 4000 and wow major disappointment. I did not even get a chance to use it, dame thing would not even turn on not even after pressing on the reset button. I was extremely disappointed to have paid over $200 for a product that never worked. Not to mention $35 dollars I spend on retuning this product and a 10% restocking fee. All this money just to return a product that never worked to begin with I find it truly unfair. Customer Service what customer service, they did not give a dame. I would say beware.

"Omega Juicer 4000 -- the best!", We use the Omega 4000 Juicer each and every day for juicing organic celery, carrots, and whatever fresh organic fruit/vegetable is available and in season at the local farmers' market. The finished product is just right and I'm happy to spend 5 minutes each day cleaning the machine in order to experience a healthier body and healthier attitude.

"Fast, easy, quiet, and efficient!", This is a fantastic product! I recently received my Omega 4000 and my family and I have been using it now for several days. I can't believe how easy this juicer is to use and to clean. The juice is DELICIOUS and we use it several times a day to make fruit and vegetable juices. It doesn't clog even after half a dozen large apples and carrots! The pulp is quite dry and the juice is only moderately aerated, which I think enhances the flavor. I highly recommend this juicer for anyone who wants to make a glass or two of juice several times a day. You can't beat it for speed and efficiency. And anyone who tells you this model is too loud is either lying or is unusually sensitive to noise.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"it's okay", My wife and I juice at least once, and at times twice daily. We had an inexpensive juicer so I spent a good deal of time reviewing models before I purchased. Several people recommended the Omega 4000 and I narrowed the choices to this one or the Breville Elite which was eliminated as the height was too tall to fit under our upper cabinets.

So I ordered the Omega. I have no complaints regarding the juicing qualities-it is quiet and powerful with a high yield of juice. I have several complaints overall, however. The blade screws on, unlike the Breville which uses a magnet. This means an extra part when it comes to cleaning which can easily become lost. The screen is difficult to clean, more so than our cheap model and unlike some juicers, this one doesn't come with a cleaning brush.

Finally, I think Omega's attention to design is sorely lacking. The pulp container does not fit neatly into the body of the juicer and looks very cheap. Additionally, I find their label on the front to be tacky. I only wish they had paid a modicum of attention to the design that they did to the engineering. The entire unit is very unattractive and does not blend in with upper end appliances. We are planning to remodel our kitchen next year and I will probably replace this juicer at that time with one that doesn't have the above mentioned design problems.

"Omega 4000 juicer", I was a serious cyclist about six years ago and used a "Juiceman Junior" three times a day five days a week. I was initially impressed with the unit, especially for the price. Around a year later the bearings in the Juiceman gave up. About this same time, I was married and life took over. Now, seven years later I am looking to get back into cycling and juicing. I have looked at the Omega 4000 several times and compared it with others. I decided on this unit over others based on other reviews and the warranty. I used this unit as soon as it came in. I am happy to say that it performs beautifully. Rather quiet compared to the Juiceman, if I recall correctly. The pulp ejection worked fine and was much dryer compared to that (I feed product in rather slow) ejected from the juiceman. Clean up is no different from what I remember. In my opinion clean up is still too time consuming. Other than making the unit entirely out of stainless, I don't know how it could be easier to clean. If your as picky as me about "clean" a toothbrush works well for the mesh basket. One shot of seven carrots stained the plastic parts as I expected. I am sure by following the provided cleaning tips this can be removed. Plastic parts are; however, far more sturdy than the Juiceman. The juice produced from the Omega 4000 is fantastic, very light on "texture" or pulp. I have been rather hesitant on spending money on another juicer, but hopefully I have made the right choice. Others have commented on good customer support from Omega, that is encouraging. Out of the starting gate I am impressed with the performance of the Omega 4000. We will see what happens in the future, I intend to give this unit a workout! Don't get me wrong the Juiceman is a fair juicer for occasional use, especially for the price. If you are a serious juicer look elsewhere, possibly the Omega 4000.

"juicer is great", The juicer is fast, easy to clean and works beautifully. I will enjoy it for years to come.

"thrilled and disappointed", Prior to owning the omega 4000, I owned a juiceman junior. The omega 4000 is a neat machine that is very well made. I love the design and the juice does not have as much pulp in it compared to when I was using the juiceman junior.

That being said I hate the design of the spout. I researched this model all over the internet to make sure I was making a good choice and I am surprised that no one mentioned the design of the spout. I am thinking I have a defective bowl and spout. I just bought this machine and am worried that I am going to have to return it. When I first took it out of the box, there was black stuff in the spout...I finally was able to get it out..which is not easy because you need a tiny brush to get inside of the spout to get it clean...Also the inside flap of the spout has a bunch of rust? or something on it...it looks disgusting and dirty. It seriously looks like it is rusting away. I called omega and they say that it is mineral deposits and that I should soak it in cascade dishwasher soap (after 2 uses to have such corrusive stuff on there is insane and I can't imagine if that is normal, what it will look like in a month)...I have done that and it did not take the rust colored stain away. I am disappointed. I have called a local store that sells omega products and they say that no one has ever complained about this issue and that they think I have a defective part. I am calling again to see if they will replace the bowl. So far I am unhappy with their customer service. It seems they do not want to send me a replacement bowl...I thought investing in a more expensive juicer would mean that it would be good quality and would last longer...so far I am not impressed. If the company will not send me a replacement bowl, I am returning this juicer. I am disappointed that they are not making a better effort to make sure their customers are satisfied.




"Totally and completely worthless", The spout on this is open at the top. Needless to say that the ensuing splatters of juice all over your kitchen rivals those of Gallagher and his big mallet.

Customer service at Omega is non-responsive. They say that they will have a new improved bowl sometime, but that was over a year ago.

Mine now resides in my kitchen closet as a permanent reminder.

*** Update!!!

After reading my review, a representative from Omega contacted me and reviewed my situation. I was immediately sent out an update package that included a new bowl, new top, plunger(larger opening!) and clamps to "update" my 4000 juicer. The spout is now very similar to the other models Omega produces. The clamps are necessary because of the physical shape of the new top. This is NOW an exceptional appliance and I am relieved to know that customer service is alive and well at Omega Juicers.

I am also glad to know that manufacturers do read the reviews of their products and respond accordingly.
