Unlike other Omega juicers that spin at 80 rpm, this one operates at half the speed. Straining juice at only 43 rpm, it ensures that less oxygen is sucked into your juice.
It's rather a costly appliance that can be used as a juicer only.
The VSJ843QS model is one of the newest vertical juicers from Omega. And unlike older series, it has an improved design to deliver you the highest degree of extraction and the tastiest juice possible. It rotates at an ultra-low speed resulting in less oxidation, much more nutrient retention, and longer shelf life of the squeezed juice.

Owing to its high efficiency and nice design, the Omega 4000 has become a very demanding model in the market. It's durable, functional, convenient to use, modern looking, and easy to clean. Plus, it can squeeze juice continuously, which makes it a favorable option for heavy home or light commercial use.

Brand New Design
The VSJ843QS model is one of the newest vertical juicers from Omega. And unlike older series, it has an improved design to deliver you the highest degree of extraction and the tastiest juice possible.
Unlike older Omega juicers that spin at 80 rpm, this one operates at half the speed. Straining juice at only 43 rpm, it makes a big difference. That reduction in speed results in less oxygen sucked into your juice. Therefore, you'll get less oxidation, much more nutrient retention, and longer shelf life of the squeezed juice. You'll be able to store it in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 3 days. So, if you're the kind of person who cooks in bulk, this model can become a great addition to your kitchen.
Another improvement is that the machine now uses the new double-edged, tighter tolerance auger that allows for getting more juice from fruits and vegetables. Instead of a single blade, the auger has two blades that ensure more chopping power and enable the machine to go through frozen fruits, meaning you can make fresh sorbets as well.
The folks at Omega have also updated the strainer. Compared to the older version, now it's smaller and accordingly, has a smaller clearance, which allows for better extraction results. What's more, thanks to the smaller holes on the strainer, the appliance produces juice that is smoother and contains less pulp.
Hassle-free Cleanups
Another improvement of the Omega VSJ843QS is a completely redesigned juicing jar. While it's become more compact in size, it's got a larger ejection port so that now it can force out more pulp without clogging up during operation. Also of note is that it has no gear rotating a juicing screen against the auger. This not only makes the process of juicing smoother but also greatly facilitates cleanup of the machine. Finally, the improved jar requires no twisting motion to be locked in place - you simply need to align the bowl with the pins at the base and drop it in. The Autocleaning system further simplifies the cleaning process.

Good Fit for Smaller Kitchens
It goes without saying that masticating juicers excel in making delicious juice. However, when it comes to compactness, centrifugal models are usually a better choice. So, if you have a small kitchen with limited countertop area, you should think twice before buying a masticating juicer, unless it's a vertically designed model like the Omega VRT350.
Owing to the strainer system mounted over the motorized base, this juicing machine has a bit more compact profile and much smaller footprint than any horizontal model. Hence, if every inch of your kitchen countertop counts, the Omega VRT350 will cater to your needs. More than that, it’s so compact that you can easily store the entire unit along with all of its containers on the top shelf of your kitchen cabinet.
Easy Maintenance
Like most other Omega masticating juicers, this machine applies slow juicing technology and squeezes fruit and veggies at the speed of 80 RPM to avoid unwanted heating and oxidation and let all nutrients and vitamins stay in the juice. Besides, to maximize the juicing efficiency and the juice yield, the unit offers two-phase extraction. At first, the produce is crushed by the auger to release the juice from the pulp and then the pulp is additionally pressurized to extract any remaining juice.
One more perk of this low-speed model is its self-cleaning system. A silicone brush will wipe the screen clean all the way round to reduce the risk of clogging and prevent pulp build-up. It's recommended to run the self-cleaning function after each use to ensure longer life of the device.
Summing up everything said above, this vertical masticating juicer from Omega will make a perfect addition to any kitchen where free space is an issue. Meanwhile, solidly built and high-performing, the unit will take every strain off out of the juicing process and serve you for years to come, ensuring consistently high yields and juice quality.

Unmatched Functionality
Additional functions and extra options always add value to kitchen appliances since they expand the unit scope of application and allow you to tackle several kitchen tasks with a single device. Yet, the biggest problem with multi-functional units is that some bonus features often appear inefficient, not to say useless, which makes customers be more cautious about all-purpose appliances. However, it’s not the case with this Omega masticating juicer. With the functionality of this model going far beyond its primary intended use, all additional functions are fully operable and will be of great use for any home cook.
Initially, the Omega J8006HDS is meant for juicing. Applying a masticating juicing technology, it processes the produce at a low speed of 80 RPM that prevents heat build-up and oxidation to keep all vital nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants in the juice. Meanwhile, a horizontal design paired with a powerful rotation torque will allow handling any ingredients, be it soft fruit and leafy greens, hard vegetables, root crops, and legumes or fibrous plant. Whatever you load into your juicer, you’ll get the maximum amount of juice squeezed.
But the best part about this model is that it can easily turn into a multifunctional station. Besides the juicer, the package includes several pasta nozzles, food processor, homogenizer, and grinder attachments that will let you extrude homemade pasta, mince herbs and seasonings for delicious sauces and dips, make baby food from all-natural ingredients, grind coffee for your flavorful morning cup, and more.
Get The Most Out of It
As functional as it is, the Omega J8006HDS nutritious center is compact and very easy to use. The machine will perfectly fit any countertop and even add a modern vibe to your kitchen interior, thanks to its sleek and stylish design. The unit is available in either chrome or silver design.
Though the juice extractor is delivered almost disassembled (only the juice screen is already installed in the machine), putting everything together will be a breeze and won't take you more than 10 minutes.
To add comfort to operation and maintenance, the set includes two plastic bowls for juice and pulp, a plunger, juice sieve filter, and a cleaning brush. And with all these nice additions and exceptional functionality, the unit costs twice less than premium models from the brand.
All things considered, the Omega J8006HDS is a great option for those who want to get the most out of their money (and kitchen space). It's much more than a simple juicer, it’s a whole nutrition center that cleverly and efficiently combines functions of several kitchen appliances.

Continuous Juicing
Omega 4000 is not a masticating kind of juicer but a continuous pulp-ejection-style appliance in a compact, portable body. It's well-suitable either for home or business use, since it allows for heavy, continuous juice extraction. Simply dispose of the pulp when the container is full to get the machine ready for new batch again.
The main benefit that sets this model apart from the rest is that it boasts one of the most advanced motors found in juicers. The powerful, commercial-grade motor (1/3 horsepower) runs at 5200 rpm and performs the task of juicing in half the time as most other centrifugal juicers. That is to say, it extracts the high amount of juice in minimal time. The machine is capable of doing everything from oranges to carrots with ease. And since it's a single-speed juicer, its operation is very straightforward and takes all the guesswork from cooking away - you don't have to decide which speed is best for apple, ginger, cucumber, lemon, etc. Plus, the juicer has an automatic pulp ejector, meaning you don't have to do it yourself.
Fitted with a 1/2-lb stainless steel blade, the machine pulverizes fruits and vegetables incredibly efficiently - the blade is capable of extracting a high amount of juice from the produce. With that, the pulp is very finely chopped and there will be no clogging problems in this machine.
Good Build Quality
The Omega 4000 is a centrifugal juicer, meaning it's designed with a little basket and the bottom disc that has little sharp points to shred the produce. The shredding disc isn't permanently connected to the basket - it's attached over the basket by a wing nut so that you can easily separate them for cleaning. It's worth noting that the disc stays sharp for a very long time. The plastic on the juicer is also high-quality. The food never gets caught under the edges like it may happen to centrifugal juicers by other companies.
As for aesthetics, the appliance sits smartly on any kitchen countertop. Its look deftly combines classic and modern. The metal parts made of polished steel give the model a very rugged look, while sandblasted surgical components from stainless steel make it robust from the inside.
Owing to its high efficiency and nice design, the Omega 4000 has become a very demanding model in the market. It's probably the best Omega juicer for heavy home use or light commercial purposes. The machine is durable, efficient, convenient to use, modern looking, and easy to clean. All in one.

Slow and Quiet
If you'd like your juicer to be quiet, efficient, and, more importantly, multipurpose, this machine offers even more than you could have wanted. The Omega Slow Speed Masticating Juicer doesn't cost a ton of money but successfully combines all the said features.
This slow-speed machine operates at 80 rpm to make the vitamin-rich juice while producing just a little bit of a hum from the motor and satisfying chewing sound. That's all you hear! Using it is really easy and fun - just slowly put the produce into the hopper chute and press them down with the included pusher. When the veggie or fruit hits the auger, it sounds like the machine is chewing them up. And what you receive is delicious, nicely blended juice with hardly any foam and extra-dry pulp. The machine has the ability to process everything from fruits and vegetables to wheatgrass and leafy greens.
Not only does this extractor make tasty juice but also turns nuts into butter, extrudes pasta, grinds coffee, makes baby puree, minces herbs and garlic, extrudes soy milk, and makes yummy frozen desserts.
Actually, it's the appliance designed for health-conscious individuals that want to add a greater variety in their diet. And since it's backed with the 15-year warranty (one of the longest in the industry), it could become the only food center you will ever need.
Easy Cleanup
After you pass a quick learning curve, assembly and disassembly will be fairly quick and painless. Of course, cleanup is not your favorite part, but here this process is relatively easy.
As mentioned, the machine comes apart really easy and clean up can be done within a few minutes. If you're going to cook multiple meals in a row, we would recommend you take it apart (after each preparation) and do a quick rinse under the tap to rinse out any buildup. And when you're done, you can either handwash it or put into a dishwasher.
You can thoroughly wash parts by immersing them in soapy water and using the provided brush. It will take you less than five minutes to give the juicer a thorough cleaning. Just wash, rinse, and place the parts in a strainer or drying mat to let them air dry. If you choose to use a dishwasher, simply put all the parts on the top rack.
To sum it all up, although the Omega J 8004 is a heavy-duty nutrition system, it's very easy to use and clean. Also, it's one of the most affordable models in Omega's Masticating lineup that ensures full taste and extra-high nutritional value. With its low-speed operation, it promotes more healthy enzymes and delivers longer lasting juices.

What Is an Omega Juicer?
Omega knows everything about the science of juicing and blending. It's the famous juicer brand with product distribution in over 120 countries. Its founder has spent more than twenty years listening to consumers and creating a product concept that would deliver what clients want. And he succeeded! Now Omega Juicers are known as the most efficient and durable commercial juicers on the market. All machines are precisely engineered and manufactured with high-quality materials. So, no wonder they are covered by an industry-leading warranty.
The Omega brand develops all styles of juicers, including centrifuge, masticating, pulp ejection machines, and simple citrus juicers to meet your nutrition needs. Omega appliances can juice not only fruits and veggies but also leafy greens and even wheatgrass. And if combined with usable attachments, they can take food processing to a whole new level by making nut milk or butter, frozen sorbets, baby puree, paste, and more. With Omega, you can "drink well, eat well, and live well".
What Features to Compare
Type
As mentioned, the company manufactures different types of juicers and you should decide which one you need:
- Centrifuge machines extract from 20% to 30% more juice than others. They are designed with a vertical basket that efficiently spins juice out of the pulp. It's a high-speed machine which juices fruits and vegetables. It's fitted with a receptacle bin that catches refuse from fruit, making both cleanup and disposal ultra quick. Some of Omega centrifuge juicers have a “Mega Mouth” to boost productivity even further with an extra-large feed chute that can accommodate whole fruits.
- Masticating juicers work at low speeds and actually imitate the natural process of chewing. They are made with a crushing or cutting element that breaks produce to release juice. Then, an auger squeezes juice from the pulp by forcing it against a screen. The machine of this type squeezes richer juice with a thicker and more nutrient-dense texture. A masticating style juicer reduces heat buildup and ensures less oxidation and more vitamin retention. It can process not only fruits and veggies but also soft leafy greens or produce with low moisture content like bananas or cauliflower. Omega's low-speed juicers can be subdivided into Vertical, Horizontal, Twin-Gear, and Cube models.
Additional Features
When choosing a juicer, it’s hard to expect other options in addition to juicing. However, Omega offers them. Some juicers from the brand come with numerous helpful attachments that can turn a juicer into a multi-purpose nutrition center. For example, some Omega machines are capable of performing a whole set of extra features such as making all-natural peanut butter or milk, grinding coffee beans, mincing herbs, making sorbets or even extruding pasta. So, if you want to get the most out of your countertop space, look for models that come with extra attachments.
Maintenance
Most users want a juicer to be not only easy to use but easy to clean as well. And if you want the lowest maintenance possible, look for the machines with the Autocleaning system that keeps the interior chamber clean, increasing the machine's efficiency.
Also, it's better to choose a unit with removable working parts, preferably dishwasher-safe. Take note that Omega juicers come with a cleaning brush in the set, which allows for quicker and easier clean-up of small cells or sharp details.
Homemade Juice vs Store-bought Juice
More and more people are currently trying to stick to a healthy diet and a key of this diet is drinking fresh juices. The most common question people have "Why fresh? After all, the fruit juice that is widely available in bottles, cartons, and cans also has an impressive nutritious value, e.g. it’s rich in vitamins and minerals”.
And here we give the main reasons why homemade juice is much better than store-bought stuff:
Did you know that the recommended number of fresh fruit and veggies vary from 7 to 10 a day? It’s been proven that eating whole fruits can help you with digestion since fruits have insoluble fiber.
But in addition to eating fresh fruits and veggies, you should also include drinking fresh juices into your daily routine. Besides being easier to digest than whole fruits, the juice is rich in soluble fiber that lowers cholesterol. Also, this type of fiber supports digestive health and the growth of good bacteria. It has been shown to regulate blood sugar levels and slow the transit of food through your digestive tract.
Soluble fiber can be found not only in juice but also in oats, nuts, and beans. Still, fruit juice is the best nutritious option to get a daily dose. There are about three grams of healthy soluble fiber in either apple or orange homemade juice.
Although store-bought juices contain vitamins, minerals, and other nutritional compounds (enzymes and flavonoids), the fresh juice offers much more of them. That happens because canned juices are made with preservatives which decrease nutritional value. Moreover, the bottled options sold in grocery stores also often contain sugar, the ingredient you should reduce or cut down completely to stay healthy longer. Added sugars in processed juices are simply empty calories that can eventually lead to obesity.
And speaking about freshly squeezed juice, it’s also filled with sugars but those sugars are natural. And rather than increasing your blood sugar level, they normalize it. The natural sugar found in fruits is called fructose. In addition to optimizing blood sugar levels, it helps your body produce energy and prevents you from feeling hungry.
Compared to commercial juice, homemade juice boasts more antioxidant, antiviral, and anticancer properties. Only fresh, raw juice has an increased amount of ellagic acid — a powerful anticancer and antioxidant compound that stops cell damage caused by oxidants.
In other words, freshly squeezed juices have high concentrations of antioxidants to give you the best protection against cell damage that might occur in your body. Take note that dark-colored fruits and vegetables contain more antioxidants.
Additionally, fresh juices have a small amount of protein that aids in the detoxification of lead and pesticides.
