Performance: this juicer is built with a powerful motor to make it easy to use in several different situations. The Omega J8006 has the ability to work on more than fruits, it will also crush garlic, grind-down beans for coffee, and make baby food from fresh, natural ingredients. The built-in auger is very strong in GE Ultem which is significantly more efficient than plastic.
Quality of Juice: the Omega J8006 Slow Juicer is very effective at juicing soft and hard fruit without compromising the nutritional benefits and natural flavor. It operates with 80RPM to produce the best possible results with no heat build-up, clogging or foaming. The slow juicing action is most efficient at preserving the fruits natural taste, nutrients, vitamins and color.
Design: the horizontal design of the Omega J8006 gives it a very safe and stable platform for working on various fruits and vegetables. It is built with a variety of user-friendly features to make the juicing process as convenient as possible. For instance, it has an automatic pulp ejection function to minimize the risk of blockages for the continuous juicing action. The actual dimensions are 14.5 by 6.5 by 15.5.
Features
Dual-Stage Action: the Omega J8006 is built to operate with multiple stages to get the highest yield possible. It first crushes the fruit or vegetable to extract the juice and then before ejecting the pulp, this is also squeezed.
Quiet operation: this slow juicer has the ability to operate very quietly to make sure it does not disturb those nearby.
Minimal Oxidation: the low juicing speed means there is a much lower risk of oxidation, which can compromise the quality of the end product. Also, the controlled speed means there is less likelihood of froth and foam.
Longer Usable Life: it isn’t necessary to drink the juice immediately after extracting from this slow juicer. Juice can easily be stored appropriately in the refrigerator for a period of up to 72 hours.
