Omega MM900HDS Medical Medium Masticating Juicer, Cold Press Juicer Machine For Celery with Adjustable Dial, 200-Watts, Silver and Omega Juicer Replacement Parts - Straining Sieve

Value for money and quality product compared to other brands. The product is easy to clean and assemble, and it has a neutral taste and a fair speed. I would rate it 4.5 out of 5 because the motor has become louder than when I first used it. However, I realize that this was my mistake; I tightened the end cap too much and clogged the filter without stopping the motor.

I mostly make celery juice with this and it is designed for it, very strong to handle celery. This is my second one, I wore out the first one in 7 years of heavy use.

A great device!Using it for couple of weeks now and it works very good.

UPDATE 7/15/2020: (Yes... one day later after my original review) I've been juicing larger batches in one sitting (6-10 cups worth of juice) so that I can transfer the juice to a large pitcher and save them for later, and thus avoid having to juice every day. While it still works well and the pulp comes out dry, a recurring issue is that the chamber (where the auger is crushing the produce against the metal strainer) gets clogged with pulp easily. This seems to worsen with cucumbers with skin on, even after chopping them up into small cubes before feeding into the juicer. The only practical solution is to turn off the juicer, disassemble, rinse out the parts (there is a LOT of pulp that falls off during this process), then reassemble and continue juicing. It's a little annoying having to do this two or three times, as a previous and cheaper juicer that my friend owned did not do this, BUT considering how dry the pulp comes out, I'd say that this is a minor setback that I can deal with.7/14/2020: After doing some research, I decided to go with a masticating slow juicer for larger volume yield, better nutritional value, better taste, and longer shelf life in the fridge (as I hate having to juice every day and prefer to juice in big quantities and store them in the fridge for later).I'm not some juicing guru who's been juicing for 20 years and has gone through dozens of brands and models; I'm just a novice who got tired of buying expensive juices from stores. Having said that, I think this does the job very well so far. I've used it about 4-5 times now for celery, apples, cucumber, ginger, and lemon with no hiccups. The pulp comes out very dry, so I know I'm getting my money's worth! It produces a little bit of foam and spits out the occasional cucumber seed into the juice, but not as much as the old no-name brand juicer my friend owns.I'm not sure if the auger is metal or very heavy duty plastic, but it seems sturdy. The product comes with a cleaning brush, which comes in handy when removing the pulp from the metal strainer. It's very easy to (dis)assemble. Hopefully this holds up for at least a few years with heavy daily use! Will update if anything comes up.

I was wary about purchasing based on 1) what seems to be the either love-or-hate reviews, 2) the high price tag for a countertop appliance, and 3) another countertop appliance. But I'm glad I get it a chance.I was *very* relieved that it runs as quietly as advertised and it's super-easy to assemble, disassemble, and clean.The first batch of juice I tried, I ran a chunk of ginger through followed by an entire bunch of celery. There was only one stalk that had leaves, which I ran through last.The pulp came out very slowly and it was very dry, mealy, and produced lots of juice (14-16 oz). I was surprised and a bit concerned that the pulp was hot, though.Today I made my second batch of ginger and celery. This time I ran through all the outer leaves (again, there were only outer leaves on one stalk but they were dark, long, and large. I also included the heart of the celery with all the pale inner leaves.The machine moved the pulp through faster and not at all hot like the first time. I hit reverse only twice toward the end to be sure it got everything. The pulp did not seem as dry as what I remembered of the first batch, but it still produced a solid 16 ounces of fine juice.There are two ways Omega could improve this unit. First, find a way to make the base smaller so it doesn't take up as much room, and second, a lower price tag would be nice so more people could afford a quality product.

I find this easy to use, easy to clean, and a wonderful way to get more nutrition than eating 12 carrots & 3 apples.I use this juicer daily. No, it isn’t whisper quiet but I don’t find it loud either.I have done greens and kale and it does the job. Carrots do great. Celery is my favorite, but I am told to limit the ounces because of sodium. Apple juice for my 2 grandsons. Oranges don’t come out as dry but I will run the pulp through twice and the boys absolutely love it.I can’t say It is perfect, but I am very satisfied with the choice I’ve made.I read many good and bad reviews. The machine I received didn’t have the problems I read about.I did find a few black flakes in my juice from time to time. But I put my clean fruit and veggies diced with blossoms and carrots greens in with the apples and carrots. That is what I see. I also inspect my plunger and filter after each use while I’m cleaning it.I would recommend this juicer to my friends and family if they needed one.I can’t wait for jam and jelly season to come. True organic apple jelly, how sweet is that going to be.If your looking for a juicer give this one a try.
