What Kind of Juicer Do You Have, And What Do You Use It For?

Mariposa

masticating versus centrifugal juicer, juicing hard root veggies versus soft fruits and greens, using your juicer to make other stuff besides juice, how much pulp and what do you use it for ....

I would like to get a juicer. Advice appreciated! I want to make a lot of green/ vegetable juice mainly.

I use an Omega 8003. Everyday I juice greens, wheatgrass, carrots, apples, celery, beets, zucchini, and cucumbers. I find it to be a wonderful all around juicer. It is not too heavy to move around, looks fine sitting out, and the price is right. I had saved up for a much more expensive juicer but ultimately, the really simple clean up sold me on this one. It takes just seconds to rinse everything off. I knew from my first centrifugal juicer that if it took more than a few seconds for clean up, I'd never use it. I'm really happy with it. You don't see it talked about much in the raw community, likely noone is making a commission off it. Maybe I should become a dealer:).

After doing a lot of research, I too decided on the Omega. It cut my juicing time in half - and all things considered, is easy enough to clean.

Thanks everyone! Great information.

LOL Kendra-- re: juice stains! Never would have thought of that, but I agree, I wouldn't like that either.

I have K&K triturator and press (2 separate pieces). Best way to get the most juice. I used maybe half or two-thirds of the vegetables used during a recent visit to a juice bar, and got the same amount of juice. They haven't been made for a while, but it looks like they are starting up again. There are some alternatives. You can grind using the Champion, and I've read about a couple of other presses - one is Welles.
