9 Simple Ways The Pros Use To Promote Juicers
Omega J8006 Nutrition Center ReviewWith the J8006, Omega provides you with a
Machine that extracts more juice from green leafy vegetables such as spinach,
This means that you'll get more from each kale leaf or wheatgrass you put in.
I don't juice directly leafy greens but if you do, the 8006 is your juicer you desire.
Not only will it extract more, it'll produce much less foam.
And less memory = less air = longer storage times up to 72 hours within an air-tight
mason jar.
How can it yield more juice?
It uses an auger (think of a meat grinder, the same principle works here) which
Squeezes create against a mesh screen and it does this in two stages.
On the first crush, juice is extracted via the first mesh display located at the
bottom.
against a cylindrical shaped screen.
This system is more efficient than any vertical single stage auger juicers and will
Yield more with the identical amount of produce.

enough to crush sugar cane.
For fruit like apple and vegetables like cucumber, You Will Need to pre-cut so
diameter.
The small opening has a downside which is you'll exert more effort to push
The high amount of juice extracted makes this extra effort worth it, especially if
You're into drinking green juice exclusively which is among the most nutrient
dense foods out there.
According to John Kohler, nutrient dense means that it has the most nutrients
with the least amount of calories.
Other Uses
Aside from extracting nutrient rich juice you can use this for:
grinding coffee beans, spices, herbs, garlic
make pasta, baby food , peanut butter and soy milk
chop ingredients as you would in a food processor
It not related to juicing but I just wanted to let you know these features just in
case you have a need.
How long can you store the juice?
Omega claims you can store juice extracted from the J8006 for up to 72 hours,
provided that you store it in an air tight mason jar, refrigerated.
It's able to do this due to the design. The slow rotation along with the
Narrow cylinder sucks in a minimal amount of air and less air is exposed to liquid
means less foaming and less foaming means less oxidation, hence longer storage
times.
Now, I would not recommend waiting that long before drinking, if you could drink
It instantly new right out of the juicer that would be great as you'll be
Digesting far more nutrients than drinking it a few days after.
If you need to store juice to bring to your work place then by all means do so, all
I'm saying is for best results, drink it fresh.
How much preparation is needed?
For green leafy vegetables, as long as it fits the 1-1/2 inch diameter feed chute,
there's not need to pre-cut, just jam it in there and push it with the plunger and
The auger do the job.
Don't put too much at once though because it is going to clog. It has a reverse feature
That allows you to unclog it just in case.
For vegetables like cabbage, zucchini or cucumber, You Will Need to pre-cut so that it
fits.
For fruits, you'll also need to pre-cut so that it fits in the opening.
How much juice can it extract?
Compared to a centrifugal juicer this will extract way more juice from leafy
Vegetables and fruit although it won't be as fast.
I don't have exact figures because every fruit or vegetable will yield different
amounts.
If you check my recipes section, I've included how much each recipe would yield
Merely to give you a reference.
You can even take the pulp and put it back in again to extract even more juice,
Some consumers have done so up to three times.
How much? Just watch this video and see how it compares to the Omega VRT
juicing wheatgrass.

Is it tough to clean-up?
Nope, because it has a thin auger and a narrow strainer, clean-up should not take
more than 5 to 10 minutes (that is if you're thorough like I am).
Even Reddit juicers say it cleans in a snap.
Additionally, it includes a brush that'll help you clean pulp off the mesh strainer.
Which Sort of Juicer Is This?
It's a masticating juicer that works on a masticating principle which basically
crushes produced against a mesh screen.
These kinds of juicers work similarly like wheatgrass juicers and meat grinders.
How long is the warranty?
The J8006 comes with a 15 year warranty from Omega on the motor and all the
parts.
According to Omega, even if You Buy it from Amazon, you'll still get the
same 15 year warranty.
Don't forget to register your juicer as soon as you get it.
Is it BPA-free?
Unfortunately no, the main housing uses a poly-carbonate housing while the
Newer 8007 / 8008 comes with the eastman tritan polymer which is BPA-free.
Can this be used commercially?
This is not recommended for commercial use.
Noise
Compared to a centrifugal juicer, masticating juicers like this one is relatively
quiet. I don't know exactly how many decibels it makes but you can still have a
conversation without yelling while juicing your produce.
Voltage
This product is rated at 110-volts (uses 3-pronged outlet) but if you live outside
North America and require a 220-volt model then take a look at the Omega 8226.
Motor
It uses a gear reduction motor which is equivalent to 2HP. When you consider
That the auger only spins at 80rpm, that's a great deal of torque for a machine at this size.
This means more crushing power that will yield more juice from every pound of
produce.
Dimensions
