Features and Benefits

The Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Juicer is a runaway best seller for juicers, and it’s easy to see why. Unlike centrifugal juicers, which are machines that depend on a spinning blade to finely blend your ingredients, masticating juicers produce juice by crushing and grinding. The Omega is a very powerful masticating juicer, and it preserves the greatest amount of the nutritional and antioxidant properties of the fruits and vegetables that you put in it. Centrifugal juicers produce a certain amount of heat due to friction when their blades spin to puree fruits and vegetables, and heat can break down important enzymes that masticating juicers preserve.

For the serious juicer, the Omega J8006 delivers great dual stage juicing; but even if you’re not concerned as much about the difference in the amount of enzymes and anti-oxidants in your juice, there are many reasons to prefer slow juicer like the Omega. The ability of the unit to extract the maximum amount of usable juice from any ingredient is bound to save you money on ingredients in the long run, and users that need to share the kitchen with their juicer while it’s running will appreciate its quiet operation compared to similarly powered centrifugal juicers.

Of course the Omega J8006 isn’t just a juicer. Besides making healthy and nutritious juices from fresh ingredients, the unit can also do double duty as a very capable food processor. It’s versatile enough to grind fresh coffee, and can even produce fresh pasta using included extrusion attachments. Omega calls their units Nutrition Centers, and it’s easy to see why.
