"Great performance even after 1.5 years"
This is a powerful, efficient, and sturdy juicer. I am still pleased with my choice after 1 1/2 years of use averaging 1-3 times a week. The ejected pulp is very dry, indicating that as much juice was extracted as possible. I gave 4 stars out of 5 due to minor design issues -- the hinges on the side arms that snap shut are somewhat hard to clean, but this is manageable.

My recommendation for new users would be to clean the white plastic parts promptly using a little bit of baking soda or another gentle whitener after contact with juices that stain, such as carrot. I didn't do this and quickly got some discoloration from carrots, but it's a cosmetic issue I can live with.

"What makes this juicer better"
This Omega juicer is made of lighter material than the larger ones, but it's designed wonderfully. The basket is slanted and open, so you can rinse it out faster than the older juicer style with a "basket" that's harder to reach in and place a filter or dig out the fiber. This one throws the fiber out the back into a container that comes with it, juices really well, is compact in a small kitchen, and cleans up so much more easily than my older Omega juicer. It's wonderful, especially for the price.

"Average juicer, hard to reassemble"
In general, good yield if you used fruits such as Apple to make juice. Average yield for vegetable juice such as carrot. Somewhat hard to clean, juice & pulp can get in some crevices. Easy to disassemble but harder to reassemble, the blade needs to be fitted carefully on the nut, if it is not all the way down and completely flush, it will cut & damage the bottom of the cover & the plunger. Small feeding chute, you have to cut fruits into smaller pieces. Not diswasher safe, can warp the plastic parts. I found this out the hard way, after I put it in the diswasher, the plunger swelled up and no longer fit in the chute due to the high heat of my diswasher. Fortunately, Omega send a replacement plunger.

"Great First Juicer"
I did SO much research on the Internet before finding that there are 2 small juicers available, and that both get good reviews. One is this one and the other is the L'equip mini. This model is newer so it didn't have as many reviews, so I couldn't decide. I called up one of the Internet sites and asked which they suggested. They said that Omega has a great reputation and stands by their products better than the other company. If you read the reviews of the L'equip 221 you'll see that that company is horrible if you have a problem with your juicer.

I just got the juicer today. You can get free shipping, so shop around.

Pros:
QUIET (much quieter than my blender), EFFICIENT, EASY TO CLEAN, EXTREMELY WELL BUILT

Juicer is GREAT!! It comes assembled and you can rinse out the parts and try it out in like 5 minutes.

From my research I knew that dry pulp shows it's an efficient machine, and that frothy juice is a negative - from supposed oxidation. I'd call it oxygenization, since air gets into the juice from being centrifuged.

Anyway, my own pulp test was fine. My first juice batch had moist pulp but when I pushed the veggies into the chamber more lightly the pulp was surprisingly dry.

Put a plastic bag, like the kind you put your veggies in, into the pulp catcher as a liner and you'll reduce your mess by a lot. The thing disassembles quickly and easily. I use a veggie brush to clean the screen and the whole thing cleans up in like 5 minutes. The messiest thing for me was the inside of the plastic top.

There was a little froth on the top of the juice, but nothing more than you get at a juice stand, and I'm not sure I believe this is a problem anyway.

The parts are very solid. The mesh filter basket is well built and the blade is very thick and solid, especially compared to food processor blades. The bowl is also stainless.

Highly recommend. Solid build, dry pulp when you get the right technique, and Omega stands by its products.

MAY BE CON:
Not sure about the froth issue. It didn't seem very frothy to me, but if you're used to the classic Champion juicers it may be more than you've had before. I'm just an inexperienced juicer and can't really tell whether this thing makes a lot or a little. Doesn't seem like a lot to me but I have nothing to compare it to.

"Healthy habits"
I was hesitant about how much juice would be extracted because of the size. Very compact. Perfect for apartment living and small kitchens. I am presently surprised! It is easy to operate and makes alot of juice. The clean up and maintenance is easy. Definitely recommend this product!!!

What our customer's say!

"Nice Compact size and great juicer", We did a lot of research for a new juicer since we had noticed that many models out there are either 'huge' or dont have great juicing power. A couple of criteria we had included: size, juicing abilities, and value for money. This omega model came out on all three categories.

We have now used it for over a year, the juicing is excellent as you can see on how dry the pulp is; the cleaning is relatively easy and dont have so many huge parts to it as in other machinese we have seen; and it is so compact that it is easy to store. Also, with the pulp falling out to an external holder, you can juice to your heart content without having to dismantle the machine to remove the pulp.

Our favorite is apple and carrot juice and this machine has helped up to cleanse our body that we are literally glowing with health.

This model is the best for us and for anyone looking for a good compact juicer. I would stray too far from an omega model. For now, we are certainly going to stick to this model.

"Omega--the Last Word", My odyssey to find the best travel juicer continues. As other reviews of mine have stated, I've been juicing three decades, with an Acme and a Champion, both of about 20 years' service, being my main juicers.

However, I do travel several states once or twice per month. I tend to visit hospitals in small areas, certainly nowhere near juice bars. I always miss my juice when gone. I decided last year to start taking my juicing on the road. Believe me, you don't want to haul an Acme or Champion! When I was in my twenties, it's hard to believe I actually strapped that Champion on the back of my bicycle and went touring with it! Well, I'm middle aged now and wiser.

I started out with the L'Equip Mini. Didn't work for me, parts fiddly though performance was good. Went through a Kenwood 2-speed, really fell down on leafy greens, so gave it away to a carrot and fruit juicer who still loves it. A while back I bought a $30 Black & Decker at my local Wal-Mart. Read my review, it is a fine little juicer, though of course not in the class of much more expensive machines. Plus, I can't testify re its durability, though it's certainly done well for me.

I admit I've been happy with my juicers so I don't look at them often. I was intrigued to find Omega was making a compact juicer--this O2. It looked so cute sitting next to veggies in all the photos. I don't live near a large city so I had to buy online. I paid $84 with free shipping on a special.

Those shopping will notice two different types of tops on this model. Apparently when it was first introduced it had the white top. The one I bought has the newer, smoked plastic top. Why anyone would want to watch pulp fly out of the machine I can't say. Rather like watching a washing machine. I think, from what I can tell, the tops are identical, unlike the unfortunate Omega 4000 with its disastrous first series top. The other thing the photos online don't show is the large pulp collector hiding behind the juicer.

Being a pulp ejector, this juicer has the typical slanting basket. What isn't typical, and I'm impressed, is that the cutting wheel is separate from the basket. With a lot of juicing the cutting blades get dull and need replacement, possibly as often as every 1-2 years with daily juicing. The cutting wheel is quite substantial for this size machine, but nowhere near as heavy as the boat anchor wheel in the Acme. My concern with these lightweight machine is the basket becoming unbalanced with certain produce, particularly leafy greens.

Assembly is quite simple and much more intuitive than the high-fashion L'Equip. The juicer is surprisingly light because the base (where the nameplate is) is plastic rather than the metal of larger juicers. No issue for me, it seems quite substantial plastic and it holds the weight down. The stainless steel bowl with spout mounts on the base; there's a white plastic ring that fits on top of that. Next, drop the basket in and then the cutting blade. There is a nut that screws the basket and blade down finger-tight. The top then fits on, secured with a grasping handle on each side. The large pulp container slides easily behind and is contoured to the cylindrical body. Like so many others, if I have the little grocery store bags I line the container so that I can just pitch the bag. This juicer is quieter than my Acme, but certainly not as quiet as the Champion. It's a fairly high-pitched motor, but not irritating; it does sound like a quieter blender on high.

I'll admit I've only used this juicer a couple-dozen times, but after 30 years and a pile of juicers, I think I'm pretty good at evaluating. When I see people cramming produce into one of these little juicers with force, it's no wonder they wear out so quickly! If you want to put your weight into a centrifugal juicer, get one of the big Acme, Omega or Moline models; they can take it, even if they don't like it. I never juice fruit in a vegetable juicer, other than apples and pears occasionally. These are juiced very well in this juicer. My mainstay choices are carrots, beets, celery, parsley and radishes, with a rotation of whatever leafy greens are in the fridge. I buy spinach, collards, mustard greens, dark green lettuce, kale, broccoli, etc. We all should know that centrifugal juicers of any size and brand are not optimal for leafy greens; they need masticating pressure. However, when rolled into golfball-sized portions, they do juice decently in this little juicer. Run a cleaning carrot or radish before and after parts of leafy greens and you'll get a decent yield with this juicer.

Cleanup is no easier or harder than a hundred other centrifugal pulp ejectors. I use a little vegetable brush from the grocery store to make a quick pass around the inside and outside of the basket and it's clean. All the other parts rinse easily in the sink. I must admit I'm confounded by newbies whining about cleaning their juicers. Would they rather scrub a pan with baked-on lasagna? Or how about cleaning a grill with one of those wire brushes? Or maybe they've never cooked. Compared to cooking juicer cleanup is a breeze.

Two final notes: 1) be very careful with that cutting wheel! I sliced my thumb open on my first batch with this juicer. The nut holding and aligning the wheel and basket is close to the blades on the wheel, I am so used to the big Acme that I injured myself. This isn't a criticism of the machine, it's a criticism of the operator. 2) Though this is Omega's compact model, it appears to be fully 3/4 the size of my big Acme. Once again, you don't see the pulp container. Still easily packed in a gym bag.

In summary, a fine little juicer, ergonomic and capable. Of course, only time and more use will reveal the durability. However, I don't see any cheapie plastic to break or little fiddly parts. Recommended and a good buy, particularly for those new to the practice. It is worth the extra seventy or so Dollars over the B/D.

"Great Juicer", This is a excellent juicer, its easy to use & clean and best of all its made with pride in the USA.

"We are So Excited to get this JUicer", We are Sooo excited to Get this juicer!

Someone bought it for Us, and We haven't gotten it yet, but We are so excited to get it. We don't even know who bought it for Us. So excited! We think it's going to be Great!!!

When We get this juicer in the mail (any day now!!!) We're planning on making juice. This is the kind of juice We want to make: We want to make Juice of Beefsteak; Juice of Mushroom; and Juice of Tyranny. And I want to make Juice of Sand!

We're going to give a big THANK YOU to whoever bought us this WONDERFUL JUICER!

Love you.

"Perfect little juicer", I just received my juicer - just what I needed for my household! Works great - I got a glass of carrot/orange juice in about 5 minutes. It took another 7 minutes to clean it and such - which is not bad at all! The pulp is dry, and the cleanup can be reduced by covering the pulp receptacle with a plastic bag - which I will do in the future. For the price, great juicer, do not hesitate and get it if you are not going to juice for a large family.
