I just sold my new (4 Month old) Omega 8004; I also sold my Omega VERT 350. I will not experiment with anymore juicers, as IMO, there is no better juicer on the market than a Champion!

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..

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.

I replaced by centrifugal juicer with this Omega and I am so glad I did. The Omega is extremely quiet, and wrings every last bit of juice of of your fruits and vegetables. It works very well, and I use it all the time. You can easily clean it by putting the parts in the dishwasher too. I recommend the Omega to everyone.

Yes I have an omega 1000 juicer and my clutch nut vanished.... Ordered this and I actually prefer it over the old one.

Champion is good for home use but you would have a hard time keeping up with a number of people. You need to find a commercial juicer that will do volume. I have seen them a number of times but forgot the name.

If you want to juice primarily wheat grass (or greens in general) this juicer isn't the best choice. Look at the omega 800x series (8003-8006).

I can only compare it to my old Champion juicer, which was such a pain to operate with leafy greens.(the hole was too small and the leaves would make the plunger stick). So by comparison the Breville is AWESOME, I juiced some kale a few days ago and got a decent amount, the pulp was very dry. Have not tried other greens, but imagine it would be efficient.

I had a 8006 before I upgraded and I would say it's not worth it. The big difference I noticed was that I didn't have to cut cukes into four pieces lengthwise anymore, half would suffice. Since I juiced spinach everyday for the past 3 weeks on this machine and for 1 year on my old 8006 I noticed that juicing was quicker but if I still had my 8006 at the time of purchase I wouldn't have bothered with the NC800. If you have money to burn I then buy it, it's a nice enough upgrade but if you are counting pennies, don't get it.

Hey Barbara, Let me tell you this...by far, this is the best juicer for the dollars...by far...I have owned many centrifugal type juicers...First to your question...Yes....this is more Froth with this juicer...but I do not believe this is much of a problem. The motor, is much more powerful than its competitors...like Jack lalanes juicer. If you refrigerate you vegetables and fruits...there will not be effected by the higher speed, and more power motor...just a little more froth. Here is why this juicer ROCKS. I owned the Jack lalane for many years...and it is definitely a very good juicer...However...it does have a few problems...1. The center plunger can Jam...It has a square side...so if you don't put it in correctly....it will get stuck...and then you have to hammer it out with a stick. The Omega's plunger has a guide and cannot jam 2. The motor on the Jack lalane can stall out if you put to much in at one time...it does not happen often...but it can jam...then you have to take the machine apart and clean it...to unjam...the Omega....never jams! 3. The jack lalane plastic on the lid and plunger...stains very easily...the Omega...does not stain...and seems to clean very easily...as if there is some special coating on the plastic...PLUS...the Omega has a stainless steel main bin..which really cleans easily.. ***All I can tell you..is that I am extremely happy with the Omega...there is never anything that is absolutely perfect..but this come close!

I have no idea. I hated this unit as the pulp that was left over after juicing was soaking wet with nutrients and juice. I have got rid of this juicer and purchased a Norwalk. Sorry I didn't do that from the beginning. I had the Omega horizontal and after that got the Vert and hated both!

After researching a lot online, the Omega was the winner to me in what I discovered in reviews & videos concerning juicing greens and wheatgrass. That's what I was looking for in a juicer. I have juiced leafy greens with hard vegetables & hard fruits and it does very well, very, very minimal foam. I have not juiced wheatgrass yet.

I have never used a 4000, but i went out to the Omega site and compared the 2 juicers. the 4000 is probably the prelude to the bmj330. the bmg330 is pretty new to the market but the 4000 parts fit on it. Omega beats the other company hands down on their 10 year warranty - which is shy i went with the omega juicer. i got mine for 99 on http://amazon.com, you just have to watch for the good deals. if it is sold on amazon - amazon backs it with their customer satisfaction guarantee. if i am shopping online - i always go with amazon - they have never let me down yet.

Judith, this is my first juicer so i'm not really sure how big the chute is on the 8005. So far I love the machine cause it does a great job on juicing spinach and Kale and time consumption is about the same as your juicier I would think. It does take a long time to juice orange and grapefruit juice though cause there is so much juice in them. But like i said i love it and i use it once a week and store them for up 3-4 days. If you have a 8005, i would stick to that for now cause it's pretty much the same machine but with a bigger chute. I still have to cut cucumbers and apples.

I had the Ikon and recently purchased the Hamilton Beach 67650 Big Mouth Pro Juice Extractor. The Big Mouth actually is more effective at juicing leafy greens than the Ikon. I usually felt the need to put greens back through the Ikon and juice again and I would always get a bit more juice, but not the Big Mouth. The pulp is already quite dry. I do find it helpful to experiment with each juicer because it makes a difference how you load the vegs in the chute and push them through. Overall, the Big Mouth has been more effective on leafy greens than the Ikon and it's way cheaper too.

Totally with both thumbs up, the Kuvings...I have the red one...or B6000 I don't remember the series. ..but that's the newest version I think. Its slower than others which is a PLUS because it provides more nutrients than any other slow juicer of theirs. I made a research till 4am before I got my Kuvings juicer and I never regret it for a second. Many people say it takes awhile to clean it up but come on, nothing in life comes for free. I adore my juicer and I enjoy it to its fullest! Good luck :) and stay nutritious.
