MM900HDS

I started looking for a new juicer as the old one I had finally needed to be replaced after several years. That one was a centrifugal machine that was very noisy, produced alot of pulp, hard to clean and the juice always had a foam on the top that had to be scraped off. I decided to look at reviews for masticating machines and a friend said he loved his Omega. So I decided to give this one a try and ABSOLUTELY love everything about it. It takes up less room on the counter than the other one, so easy to put together and clean and not noisy at all. I've only juiced celery so far and the pulp that comes out is very dry which means it's getting the most juice from the celery. I'm so glad I got this one, it is well worth the money.

I’m absolutely thrilled with this juicer! From the very first use, I noticed the difference: the pulp comes out super dry, which means I’m getting every last drop of juice from my fruits and vegetables. The juices are fresh, flavorful, and have the perfect smooth texture. It’s easy to assemble, clean, and use every day quickly becoming my favorite ally for a healthy lifestyle. It truly exceeded my expectations and I couldn’t be happier. Definitely worth every penny!

I love this juicer. I only juice celery. This machine does the job. Unlike other juicers I previously used, this one extracts juice more efficiently, and celery goes through the juicer easily, not backing up. All the parts are well made, easy to assemble and clean. Highly recommend.

UPDATE 7/15/2020: (Yes... one day later after my original review) I've been juicing larger batches in one sitting (6-10 cups worth of juice) so that I can transfer the juice to a large pitcher and save them for later, and thus avoid having to juice every day. While it still works well and the pulp comes out dry, a recurring issue is that the chamber (where the auger is crushing the produce against the metal strainer) gets clogged with pulp easily. This seems to worsen with cucumbers with skin on, even after chopping them up into small cubes before feeding into the juicer. The only practical solution is to turn off the juicer, disassemble, rinse out the parts (there is a LOT of pulp that falls off during this process), then reassemble and continue juicing. It's a little annoying having to do this two or three times, as a previous and cheaper juicer that my friend owned did not do this, BUT considering how dry the pulp comes out, I'd say that this is a minor setback that I can deal with. 7/14/2020: After doing some research, I decided to go with a masticating slow juicer for larger volume yield, better nutritional value, better taste, and longer shelf life in the fridge (as I hate having to juice every day and prefer to juice in big quantities and store them in the fridge for later). I'm not some juicing guru who's been juicing for 20 years and has gone through dozens of brands and models; I'm just a novice who got tired of buying expensive juices from stores. Having said that, I think this does the job very well so far. I've used it about 4-5 times now for celery, apples, cucumber, ginger, and lemon with no hiccups. The pulp comes out very dry, so I know I'm getting my money's worth! It produces a little bit of foam and spits out the occasional cucumber seed into the juice, but not as much as the old no-name brand juicer my friend owns. I'm not sure if the auger is metal or very heavy duty plastic, but it seems sturdy. The product comes with a cleaning brush, which comes in handy when removing the pulp from the metal strainer. It's very easy to (dis)assemble. Hopefully this holds up for at least a few years with heavy daily use! Will update if anything comes up.

I was wary about purchasing based on 1) what seems to be the either love-or-hate reviews, 2) the high price tag for a countertop appliance, and 3) another countertop appliance. But I'm glad I get it a chance. I was *very* relieved that it runs as quietly as advertised and it's super-easy to assemble, disassemble, and clean. The first batch of juice I tried, I ran a chunk of ginger through followed by an entire bunch of celery. There was only one stalk that had leaves, which I ran through last. The pulp came out very slowly and it was very dry, mealy, and produced lots of juice (14-16 oz). I was surprised and a bit concerned that the pulp was hot, though. Today I made my second batch of ginger and celery. This time I ran through all the outer leaves (again, there were only outer leaves on one stalk but they were dark, long, and large. I also included the heart of the celery with all the pale inner leaves. The machine moved the pulp through faster and not at all hot like the first time. I hit reverse only twice toward the end to be sure it got everything. The pulp did not seem as dry as what I remembered of the first batch, but it still produced a solid 16 ounces of fine juice. There are two ways Omega could improve this unit. First, find a way to make the base smaller so it doesn't take up as much room, and second, a lower price tag would be nice so more people could afford a quality product.

Value for money and quality product compared to other brands. The product is easy to clean and assemble, and it has a neutral taste and a fair speed. I would rate it 4.5 out of 5 because the motor has become louder than when I first used it. However, I realize that this was my mistake; I tightened the end cap too much and clogged the filter without stopping the motor.

MY HONEST OPINION... Purchased the Omega MM900HDS and received it on 12/16/21. A few things to discuss here. After less than a month, the rubber gasket attached to the part pictured (Juicing Screen) began to detach from the end of the screen. It is held in place by the round plastic piece snapped onto this part holding the gasket in place. Not sure if some kind of glue is used, I would think not. Anyway, I juice one morning using organic celery stalks already cut and on another morning, blueberries and a sliced apple (no core). At this gasket, another plastic piece rotates driving the celery or blueberry extract (solid waste) out of the machine. I would assume the gasket warms up a bit making it softer and more pliable. This is one of the flaws in this machine's design. The solid waste continuously pulls on this gasket until it eventually fails. It ripped from its manufactured position and over time eventually detaches from the juicer screen. This allows more of your better material not to be juiced as it leaves the machine into the discard bucket. I emailed Omega about this and there are other reviews below that explain the same issue. Their customer service wanted me to send them images of the part and an image of the label on the bottom of the machine. I assume they wanted to know how old it was, when I purchased it and maybe there were lots of production that this rubber washer was failing, not sure. Anyway, I did that and I sent them my Amazon receipt showing when I purchased it. They were sending the info over to some department to look at my claim. I asked for them to tell me how to repair it or send me another part. I had not heard back from them, so I sent another request. I think they are not very good at supporting their customers when their machine fails in the early stages of use. So I probably will have to purchase this part at $42.00 plus tax plus shipping. Typical of anything you buy these days that has moving parts. Also about this machine is that berries, simple ones, clog the juicer screen and it becomes difficult to juice. The celery comes out okay but once again, the celery extract and the berry extract place to much pressure on this rubber washer and inevitably it fails. The machine cost over $300.00. Far too much money for these things to occur. The flaw is in the juicer screen. The machine grinds a bit and sounds like it could fail as well. at some point early in its life. The customer service was very kind in the first email making me think they were very concerned about my issue. Then after I send the images, u don't hear from them. U can't call them, it's an online email support method. I, without a doubt, do not recommend this product or this company. High priced, doomed to fail, poor customer support. There must be better juicers out there. Hope this helps anyone out there looking for a juicer. I can't stress enough... the lady in customer service who receives ur email explaining your issue acts as if she is super concerned. She requested pictures of the part in question and wanted proof when you bought the juicer. Then they never get back too u, even when you follow up twice. They simply do not answer your en=mails. It's like u don't exist. Shabby outfit. I honestly believe many have issue with this company, especially this part that fails and they just turn their backs on u. I will never purchase anything from this company again.

I find this easy to use, easy to clean, and a wonderful way to get more nutrition than eating 12 carrots & 3 apples. I use this juicer daily. No, it isn’t whisper quiet but I don’t find it loud either. I have done greens and kale and it does the job. Carrots do great. Celery is my favorite, but I am told to limit the ounces because of sodium. Apple juice for my 2 grandsons. Oranges don’t come out as dry but I will run the pulp through twice and the boys absolutely love it. I can’t say It is perfect, but I am very satisfied with the choice I’ve made. I read many good and bad reviews. The machine I received didn’t have the problems I read about. I did find a few black flakes in my juice from time to time. But I put my clean fruit and veggies diced with blossoms and carrots greens in with the apples and carrots. That is what I see. I also inspect my plunger and filter after each use while I’m cleaning it. I would recommend this juicer to my friends and family if they needed one. I can’t wait for jam and jelly season to come. True organic apple jelly, how sweet is that going to be. If your looking for a juicer give this one a try.
