how is cleaning with this? I am at capacity for single purpose counter top appliances but I miss having a juicer, but don’t miss the cleanup

It has a top speed of 5,000 rpm? Is that fast enough or can you just run it for an extra long time? I seem to remember recipes in Modernist Cuisine requiring rpm’s in the 5 digits, but maybe not. I looked into getting one, but like you said, it was either something cheap that didn’t work due to slow spin rates.

I’m jealous, but can’t justify it based on my cooking habits right now. Maybe in a few years in retirement.

There are several models of Omega juicers available on Woot.com (Amazon) right now for ridiculously low prices. We have both the vertical and horizontal style Omega juicers and, while not my favorite thing in the kitchen to clean I don’t think these are any more difficult than any other juicer (especially the horizontal style, which I find a bit easier than the vertical).

Thanks. Checking that out. Good gravy Omega has way too many models and does a poor job of helping navigate the differences between each. This is a nightmare for an average consumer. Low Speed, Horizontal Juicers – Omega Juicers

My guess is that they don’t offer much on the differences between the models because there aren’t any differences - just a pure price discrimination game. They offer a model at every price point hoping that people who can afford a more expensive one will pay more thinking it must be better. I can say that we have two that would appear to be quite different (the MMV700S Vertical Low-Speed Juicer and the J8006HDC Ultimate Juicer and Nutrition System) and they do exactly the same thing in a different orientation (mostly a question of vertical or horizontal storage space). The only real difference I can find between the high and low price models on their web site is the warranty (15 years for $470 and 1 year for $150). Most of the ‘unique’ features I see listed on individual models are actually the same on all the other models - they just aren’t listed (for example, they highlight different power claims but if you look at the specs they are all 150 watt motors).

I don’t think you can go wrong.

Interesting , first I’ve seen of this. What are your most common uses, and what’s the advantage over a simple heatng element?

Man, I hate these type of threads. Now another toy to lust over. That would make my 6 hour slow simmer bolognese cook to perfection
