Juicer Reviews - Omega J8006 and J8003

Both the Omega J8003 and Omega J8006 are part of Omega’s family of masticating juicers. Masticating means reducing something to a pulp by crushing or kneading. Masticating juicers operate at slower speeds, compared to centrifugal juicers, and grind, chew and squeeze juice out of food, like teeth.
Below is an Omega masticating juicer comparison chart:

	Omega J8006 Masticating Juicer	Omega J8003 Masticating Juicer
Juicer Reviews Stars (Out Of 5)	4.5	4.5
Price	About $300	About $230
Rotation Speed Per Minute (RPMs)	80	80
Horsepower	.33 HP 3600 RPMs, gears down to 2 HP equivalent	.33 HP 3600 RPMs, gears down to 2 HP equivalent
Watts	1,492 equivalent	1,492 equivalent
Auto Pulp Ejection	Yes	Yes
Weight in pounds	13	13
Size inches (L x W x H)	14.5 x 6.5 x 15.5	14.5 x 6.5 x 15.5
Warranty	15 years	10 years

The Omega J8003 and the Omega J8006 are both high quality juicers built by the Omega Company. The Omega J8003 and the Omega J8006 are both both UL and cUL approved. These approvals can be interpreted as quality, and rightly so, as the Underwriters Laboratories Inc. type approvals are exclusive.

Both the Omega J8003 and Omega J8006 come with a one third horsepower, 3,600 RPM motor which, when in use, gears down to 80 RPMs which is the equivalent of 2 horsepower.

Both Omega juicers are single gear masticating juice extractors. These juicers use a low speed
of 80 RPMs which minimizes heat build up and oxidation. This is turn maintains the healthy enzymes in juice and promotes
longer lasting juices (excessive heat can be damaging to juice).
In addition to fruits and vegetables, these juicers also have the ability to juice wheatgrass and leafy greens. Further, the Omegas can expand beyond juice and turn nuts into nut butters, extrude pasta, grind coffee
and spices and mince herbs and garlic. This is possible because of the very low speed at which both of the juicers operate at. When working at 80 rotations per minute, there is lesser chance of a clog causing heat buildup, or being unable to work the clog out itself.

The biggest differences between the Omega J8006 and Omega J8003 are price, warranty length and auger type. The Omega J8006 carry’s a 15 year warranty versus 10 years for the Omega J8003. Also, the J8006 has a new auger (the screw that turns inside the masticating juicer and produces the juice) that Omega says is 8 times stronger than other augers on the market. The extra warranty and new auger results in the last main difference between these two machines; the Omega J8006 costs about $70 more than the Omega J8003 juicer.

The human body's main defense mechanism against infection is its immune system. An immune system is a complex set of biological structures and processes that identify, protect and kill germs, parasites, pathogens and tumor cells. In order to function properly, immune systems must be able to detect viruses and germs from the body's own healthy cells and tissues. A healthy immune system needs to be properly fed so that its fighting power is at its peak.

Fresh juice helps provide immunity system strength. Fresh, natural homemade juice is an immune booster which helps maintain a healthy system. The vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in fresh, homemade juice can increase the number of white cells in the immune system (white blood cells fight infections), help them fight germs better and boost a person’s overall health.

The juice from the following foods provide an excellent diversified source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Try juicing any combination of these disease fighting, immune boosting foods:

• Blueberries – High in antioxidants and antibacterial agents
• Grapes, apples and cabbage – Contain antiviral and antibacterial compounds.
• Garlic - A powerful immune booster that stimulates the growth of white cells and increases antibody production.
• Ginger, Parsley and Carrot – Sources of zinc. Zinc helps the immune system’s cells function properly.
• Carrot, Kale and Spinach – Good sources of beta carotene. Beta carotene is an organic compound that the body converts into vitamin A, which is an antioxidant.
• Tomato, Cabbage and Sweet Peppers – Good sources of bioflavonoids. Bioflavenoids protect cell membranes against the germs or other pollutants that try to attach to them.
• Citrus Fruits – Contain high levels of Vitamin C which increases the production of infection fighting white blood cells and antibodies.

Juice Fruits And Vegetables With Omega Masticating Juicers

Making your own juice can be fun and nutritional. Fresh homemade juice starts with a good juicer. Before purchasing a juicer, decide how it will be used. Will you primarily juice citrus fruit, various fruits, or various fruits and vegetables? Answer this question and then compare juicers.

There are typically two different kinds of juicers on the market: masticating and centrifugal. Centrifugal juicers have shredder discs that spin at high speeds. Food hits these shredding discs, and gets shredded to pulp. The high spinning motion forces the juice released from the food towards the sides of the juicer while retaining the pulp in the center. Masticating means reducing something to a pulp by crushing or kneading. Masticating juicers operate at slower speeds, compared to centrifugal juicers, and grind, chew and squeeze juice out of food, like teeth. Centrifugal juicers usually cannot cut through as many vegetables as a masticating juicer. In addition, masticating juicers are able to produce and yield more juice from food because they use more of the vegetable or fruit.

Juicer reviews of the Omega J8005 and Omega J8006 masticating juicers carry high marks at 4.5 out of 5 stars. Both of these Omega juicers feature low 80 revolution per minute speeds so that the motor won’t heat up, the juice won’t clog and the product won’t foam. Less foam means reduced oxygenation and juice with more nutrients. Another great feature of the juicers is the auto-pulp ejection so that you can continue juicing without stopping to clean a filter of pulp.

Masticating juicers give you more juice out of the fruit or vegetable you choose. More yield means more value out of the fresh produce you’re buying.
Juice can be made out of virtually any fruits and vegetables. Omega masticating juicers are especially good for juicing green leafy vegetables. A masticating juicer can grind and mash juice from leafy vegetables, carrots and other foods that have lower juice content as compared to a centrifugal one. Thus, if juice from various fruits and vegetables is a primary goal, consider using a versatile masticating juicer.

Why Americans Should Use A Fruit And Vegetable Juicer

Why should Americans eat and drink more fruits and vegetables? Why would almost all Americans benefit from juicing fruits and vegetables with a juicer? Consider these health statistics from a 2010 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services report:

• 16 percent of the U.S. adult population has high total blood cholesterol
• 34 percent of U.S. adults have hypertension or high blood pressure
• 36 percent of American adults have pre-hypertension or blood pressure numbers that are dangerously higher than normal
• Almost 11 percent of the U.S. population older than 20 has diabetes
• 35 percent of the U.S. adult population older than 20 years has pre-diabetes or blood glucose numbers that are dangerously higher than normal
• Approximately 41 percent of the U.S. population will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime

Specifically, moderate evidence indicates that intake of at least 2 and ½ cups of vegetables and fruits per day is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attack and stroke. Some vegetables and fruits may be protective against certain types of cancer.
• Fruits and vegetables are low in fats and help maintain healthy body weight.

Recommended fruit and vegetable daily amounts go up (and down) by about 1 cup for each additional (or lesser) 1,000 calories eaten per day.
