 BEST JUICER I HAVE OWNED October 15, 2008
This is the 4th juicer I have owned. Oster (really bad), a Jack LaLane (worse)and a European Turmix. This is a pleasure to use and is really a quality item in build and use. Forget the others, buy this great juicer and enjoy juicing!!
 HORRIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT June 11, 2008
horrible disapprointment - loud, jumps around; fruit and vegetables have to be cut into exact sizes and "face a certain direction"
A SUPERB JUICER September 28, 2006
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had this unit since early 1999 and juice often. While it is true this machine doesn't eject the pulp as you go, it's more efficient at extracting juice. I typically can juice a large cucumber along with a large, entire stalk of celery, before there's just too much in the unit, and it gets out of balance. When the unit gets heavily out of balance, it will vibrate rather loudly, but the solution is simple: turn it off, wait until it stops spinning, clean it out, and off you go. This vibration is what another reviewer ignorantly writes about, and said he had to send his unit back in. That's simply not fair or well-informed feedback on this wonderful unit.
This is like the Maytag of juicers!
 Very Disapointing February 26, 2006

I bought this juicer after doing some research, and reading several positive reviews. Now I wonder if these people really are using their juicer on a daily basis or just once a year.
I have three problems with this Juicer:
1) The spout is very small. I have to cut up my apples into 6 pieces before I can feed it through.
2) After one glass of juice, I have to clean it out and remove the pulp.
3) But the biggest disspointment was that it started rattleing and making such a HUGE noise, that I had to turn it off.
I called the company and they said that sometimes the spout it to close to the blade. They suggested that I send it in, of course at my expense.
I am shopping for a new juicer, one that ejects the pulp and I dont have to clean in-between juicing.
I would not recommend this juicer.
Don't understand why Omega 1000 is highly rated June 9, 2005

I've had my Omega 1000 juicer for about a year. I used it around 30 times when POOF! That was it, the motor burned out. Then I spent five minutes on the Web to discover that it's a "1/3 horsepower" juicer. That's a little less than 250 watts.
Other models like the L'Equip 110.5 Mini Pulp Ejector Juicer (rated better and less expensive than the Omega 1000) put out 600 watts. Even the Omega 8005 produces only 1/3 horsepower.
If you go to Bizrate.com, on the page where the 8005 is displayed, it posts a power rating of 1/3 hp. Yet if you click on the "What's this?" next to the "Power" heading, you're told:
"Power: Determine the wattage rating on the juicer. If you're juicing hard produce, the more watts, the better. A motor rating of 450 watts or greater is recommended."
Translated to hp, Bizrate.com recommends a bit more than 1/2 horsepower as the minimum acceptable hp. Shame on me for not spending the time to research this before buying.
I'm not abusive with mechanical devices. I was grinding a tough material, parsley. That's supposed to be OK. I let up evertime the RPM's slowed significantly, i.e., I was careful. Bizrate.com's advice is right on the mark: 250 watts (1/3 hp) just isn't enough. Don't buy this or any sub-.5 hp juicer unless you're juicing material that's already soft.
