A review of the Omega 8002 juicer.

The Omega 8002 juicer is what is referred to as a masticating juicer. There are 2 main types of juice machine technologies. Centrifugal machines spin a cutting basket at high speeds. The produce is dropped into this basket and pulverized into fine pieces. The spinning action of the basket separates the pulp from the juice. A masticating juicer on the other hand chews and grind the produce to squeeze all the juice out of it. The pulp that results is often dryer and the juice darker. The neat advantage of the Omega 8002 masticating juicer is that it can be used to make more than just juice.

Omega calls their 8002 juicer a 'nutrition center' because you can make all kinds of things with it. Normally, people only think of juicing fruits and veggies with their juice machine. The 8002 does that very well and as a bonus it can make a wide variety of extra dishes. For example, did I hear you say you wanted to make fresh salsa tonight? This machine can be used for chopping and mincing all the tomatoes and onions you would ever want, all without a single tear. You can use it to make wonderful frozen treats like frozen banana pudding, sorbet or sherbet. In addition, you can make luxuriously smooth nut butters from raw healthy nuts. Fresh almond butter is amazing on veggie sticks or rice crackers. This masticating juicer can even process wheat grass right out of the box. Often times, you have to buy an extra expensive attachment for this capability. Lastly, the Omega 8002 juicer can be used to make fresh pasta.

One of the big advantages of masticating juices is that they operate at lower speeds. This generally produces a higher quality juice with more nutrition preserved. Older machines of this type used to have problems with clogging. The 8002 comes with a built in reverse function to prevent that from happening. The machine is quieter than centrifugal juice machines, again, since it is operating at a slower speed. The unit can be assembled in less than a minute by most people and you do not need any tools for assembly. All of these advantages make the Omega 8002 juicer a highly prized machine.
