Omega Juicer JCUBE500RD Cold Press 365 Slow Masticating Juice Extractor and Nutrition System with On-Board Storage, 200-Watts, Red

First - product was packaged very secure! I was very impressed with how much thought went into packaging.Then, I tried the product - it's great! Cleans quick, juices great and I love how it is compactly designed - my self ond Omega juicer - 1st one last over 25 years!

I have been the owner of an Omega 1000 for 25 years and I've been very happy with it. It is truly a workhorse. I had to replace the locking arms several years ago as they tend to fail after several years of use. I recently noticed small cracks forming in existing arms and was disappointed that they are no longer available. So, I decided to replace it with a masticating juicer from Omega and the cube seemed to fit my needs. The machine has lived up to my expectations. It's relatively quiet and the pulp is as dry as the centrifugal Omega 1000, but at the price of speed and clean-up time. The 1000 wins hands down . The whole process of juicing now adds 15 minutes from start to finish. A little annoying, but small price to pay considering the nutrients in the juice.

I love Omega machines overall especially because of the warranty they give you and trust me it comes in handy because my 1st (vertical square) machine I’ve had for several years didnt work when I came from vacation & now I have to send it in (someone must have accidentally left it on and it burned out the motor)That being said, I went and purchased a Ninja horizontal slow juicer for around $100 and it preformed well but have to run the pulp through 2xI’ve always wanted a horizontal juicer because I knew they can handle the tuff stuff like leafy greens better without jamming the lid, a problem with my vertical Omega which was almost super impossible to open and clean at times.If you want an powerful slow juicer especially from the Omega family then go with this one. My girlfriend has an horizontal Omega but it doesn’t store away as well as this cube design which I just leave on the counter top.

I bought this juicer about 16 months ago. I absolutely love it in the beginning - pulp came out very dry, got lots of juice.Like most people, I did a lot of research before buying. Omega sold me on the 10 year warranty plus my friends using Omega juicer heavily (like daily) for over 15 years and their juicer still going strong. I love the form factor and the shiny red.I did my fair share of juicing in the first summer - watermelon, pineapple, celery, carrot ginger. One thing never performed well was apple. It clogs fairly quickly. I didn’t fault it initially but it did slow my enthusiasm to juice as it got into fall season living in apple country.I close up juicing in the winter as it’s just too cold. So, 5 months of juicing.Somehow I didn’t juice as much in my second season.I started with pineapple and noticing it’s not juicing well. I slowly stopped juicing. I didn’t realize something is not right with the juicer. I was avoiding it to not think something is wrong. I’m talking about only using the juicer less than 8 times the entire summer.I was finally confronted with the issue when I decided to juice elderberry and then a gallbladder cleanse that uses apple.First use of the juicer after no action for months, a part broke. The seal broke came loose. See picture.Contacted Omega, gave them everything they want (photos, proof of purchase, etc.) paid the shipping fee, a new part came.The VERY FIRST use of the juicer after receiving the replacement part, Upon opening up, ANOTHER part broke. Plastic pieces broke.I juiced 4 tiny apples from organic trees. I recorded the juice process totaling about 4 minutes. It starts to clog by 1 min and a half. 12 Oz of juice came out. Almost no pulp. Completely clogged. Knowing it could be issues I borrowed another Omega and it juiced 4x the amount of juice with no clogging issue.I contacted Omega they want me to only get the replacement parts instead of a new juicer or a different model. I lost complete trust to this juicer. No juicer should died with lite use a little more than a year in. With parts break left and right.I would not recommend this juicer.

So far I have tried juicing celeries and apples. It works very well and easy to clean. The square shape is a space saver.
