 HORRIBLE DISAPPOINTMENT June 11, 2008
Linda E. Mackler (Massachusetts)
horrible disapprointment - loud, jumps around; fruit and vegetables have to be cut into exact sizes and "face a certain direction"
 Great juicer with some issues March 15, 2008
Leonard Ige (West Covina, CA)
I have had 2 Omega 1000s in the past 10 years or so. My experience is almost exactly as Neil Grundel's review. I have also had a Champion commercial model juicer for the past 6 months. The Omega 1000 is a great juicer if you are juicing small quantities of juice...a quart or less. But because of the issues already raised in these reviews, I use the Champion almost exclusively now.
If you need to extract large quanties of juice (1/2 gallon or more), there is no comparison between the juicers. The Champion wins hands down. I know it is better to juice small quantites of juice and consume it immediately, but for convenience, we will often juice a half gallon at a time and consume it over the next 48 hours. For quantities like these, the Champion is clearly better.
My Omega 1000 has served me well over the years and still performs flawlessly. It is a quality machine. The motor is quiet, has a 10 year warranty and the fit and finish of the machine is very good. I have no complaints about the quality.
I broke one of the clamps on the machine that holds the basket and lid in place a few years back. The clamp is very well constructed and broke as I was trying to pry it off to do some thorough cleaning on the machine. It was not a quality issue. Omega sent me new pair of clamps at no charge, no questions asked. I still have an extra clamp should I ever need it. I have never had any other occasion to contact the company as I have never had any other issue with the machine.
Overall, if you need a quality, countertop machine and will not be making large quantities of juice, the Omega 1000 should definately be a consideration.
 A SUPERB JUICER September 28, 2006

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.
