In comaprsion with the Omega J8006 what makes this juicer worth the extra money?

It really depends on the type of food you are juicing. If you are not doing leafy greens, the Tribest may be better for you. It is faster than a horizontal auger juicer and adds versatility with its spout plug and its mincing attachment. To order please click on "See seller's offer" below.

Very much a personal choice. It is easier to respond when we know what the customer wants to specifically juice.

To be honest, there is no comparisons between the two. You're looking at two completely different juicers making this is more of an apples and potatoes comparison. If you're looking to juice more leafy greens like lemon grass, wheat grass, etc... then go with the Omega as it is better for that. Otherwise go with the Tribest slow star. Now you can compare the Slowstar to the Omega Vert 350, but even then they both offer different features. I recommend searching through discount juicer's videos on you tube. He offers a lot of comparisons and reviews. I hope this helps.

I can only speak from my experience from the Tribest product. It would have trouble juicing anything hard like carrots, beets, etc. It would continually stop. I would have to clean it out every few minutes. It was not worth the effort. I never owned the Omega product. I can not recommend the Tribest piece of junk.

I have an Omega and a Kuving. The thing with the Kuving is that you are paying for the wide mouth and end up having to chop everything up anyway - or the veggies get stuck and the whole thing stops. So why bother paying for an expensive juicer when the Omega works great and both require chopping things up first?

Over the years I have used many juicers from different brands. The Breville 800JEXL ability to extract juice is head and shoulders above them all.My only complain is that it is noisy and vibration is unacceptable. It is also a little messy and after using, the kitchen counter clean-up is a must.

I am not familiar with the newer juicers but the Breville is a solid piece of engineering. It should last a lifetime. I have had no trouble with it and I would think it is the best one available.

Since it is a rotary machine, it juices with speed. I use all of those ingredients, but it does take a lot of kale or other leafy greens to make enough. I cram everything that fits through my juicer and it grinds through it with speed and ease. Clean up is a breeze. From my research, the masticating ones are more efficient, but slower and more parts to clean. Neither were acceptable to me, so chose this one and am very happy.

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 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.

You need to watch Dan McDonald, Life Regenerator on YouTube. He says the single auger is best for getting the most juice out of fruits/veggies, but you have to cut everything up into smaller pieces, and it takes longer. . . clean up is not as easy as the Breville Fountain Elite. I had a Jack LaLane for years. It costs around $100. at Costco, and did fine for when I did juice. Now that I juice every stinking day, I love the Breville Fountain Elite. It costs twice as much, but is faster and easier to clean. Put a plastic bag in the "catcher" . . . If you are not going to juice every day, you can get a Breville one model "down" for less money. If you are serious about juicing, I would spend the money and get the Fountain Elite. I have a Lemon Ginger Blast (Dan's juice recipe every day) . . . Breville is better than Jack LaLane juicer, but both work. If you aren't going to juice very often, just get a Jack LaLane at Costco. If you mean business, get a Breville at Bed Body Bath Beyond and use a 20% off coupon. If you are really energetic, get the single auger (I'm too lazy for that). . . good luck. Joan Brock

So sorry ... I do not know. Did you get an amazing price for it? It may be too late; but, I do not do not like mine. It has been a dismal machine. I like my twenty year old juicer better !!! :o

I've only tried the Ikon, and am satisfied with it. It makes perfectly good juice. I don't see the need to spend the extra $, although granted I've only been using it for a month (approx. every other day). I would be interested to hear from someone who has tried both. I'd like to know, for instance, if there's a higher yield with the Elite, or is the Elite expected to last longer?

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.

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 got mine for less than the cheaper price. It came perfectly packed in the original box and packing with everything that was included. It was perfectly clean, unstained and looked new. I've been using it daily for about six weeks and have no issues. I can't say that your experience will be the same but I've been extremely happy with my new juicer.

For the past 20 years, I just used a couple Jack LaLane juicers . . . they were around $100. at Costco, and worked fine. I would go thru spurts of "juicing" and then stop. I discovered Dan McDonald on YouTube. I have completely changed my eating and juice everyday. He recommended the Breville Fountain Elite . . it costs more, but has been worth for me. It is faster, more powerful and easier to clean. (I put a plastic back in catcher) . . I am 65, and I feel 10 years younger. If I were you, I would watch Dan McDonald on YouTube, purchase this Breville, and juice as much as you can. Joan Brock

I have the 8008 and I love it I use it for both wheTgrass and juicing. It is very easy to clean I think the 8007 and 8008 mods are very similar because they use the same parts

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.

The 8008 is the chrome coated version of the latest home use model of Omega horizontal juicers. The screen on this one if out of thicker plastic than the 8006 screen. It also has 2 stainless steel juicing surfaces instead of just one like the 8006. The hopper on the top is larger. The handle design is also different. It does NOT have the larger feed chute and extra dial for adjusting for various veg/fruits etc. Those parts are on the NC800HDS and NC900HDC. Omega warranties these for 15 years parts and motor the same as the 8006 (also NC800/900).
