Unique Construction and Design
The Omega 8006 denotes a single horizontal gear masticating juicer featuring a patented auger, which comes in handy when looking to increase the juicing yields.
This juicer boasts a resilient, commercial grade construction consisting of stainless steel with a metallic finish, and the 15-year warranty goes to show that the manufacturers are confident regarding its durability. While this juicer is quite bulky, it can easily fit below most kitchens’ countertops.
We Think: This juicer passes for being a commercial grade juicer.
Key Point: If any of the parts are damaged, you can purchase them directly from the manufacturer.
Powerful and Efficient
The Omega 8006 is equipped with all the features of an outstanding masticating juicer including a high-powered 200-watt motor coupled with a two-stage operation.
Its extraordinary performance is largely attributable to the low-speed operation of 80 RPM, which allows the appliance to juice ingredients at a controlled pace. This allows the juicer to slice through the ingredients devoid of producing heat, and thus maintaining the purity and flavor of the produce.
Also, its auger is comprised of GE’s ULTEM material that’s way stronger and more powerful than augers comprising other juicers.
It can, therefore, slice through tough ingredients like carrots, wheatgrass and oranges with amazing ease. The auger is also multifunctional; users can create baby food, pasta, nut butter, or even grind coffee.
Patented Technology: Auger is built with GE’s ULTEM material (Which was tested by the manufacturer to be one of the strongest in the market)
Power Rating: 200-watt dual speed motor
Juice Quality and Yield
The Omega 8006 juice extractor is not only a powerful masticating juicer, but it also yields more juice than the majority of other juicers in the market.
Thanks to its low-speed operation, there’s minimal foam and heat friction to contend with. Which means that the user gets a superior quality and delicious juice full of enzymes, vitamins and nutrients. Also, homeowners can store the juice for up to 72 hours in a snugly sealed jar and consume it later.
Its dual stage process comes in handy when looking to yield maximum juice, be it from fruits, leafy greens or veggies.
- Note: While the juice produced by this juicer can last for three days, it’s advisable to consume it as soon as possible. Freshly pressed juice not only tastes better but also contains more nutrients.
Easy Setup and Usability
Setting this appliance up and taking it apart is incredibly easy; it’s comprised of four parts only.
The Omega 8006 is also easy to clean because all the parts are dishwasher safe except the filter. Users can use warm, soapy water to wash the components and subsequently wipe clean the metal screen.
We Think: Auger can be hard to clean, which is particularly true if the user fails to clean it immediately after juicing.
Who Is this Juicer Best Suited For?
Thanks to its ability to yield great amounts of nutrient-rich juice, this juicer is the perfect fit for a family comprising of many members, particularly those looking to enjoy the versatility of a multi functioning machine.
It’s best suited for people looking for an appliance whose functionality goes beyond that of a juicer.
For instance, this juicer will come in handy for caregivers who are looking after patients battling chronic diseases like cancer. It will help them with grinding up loads of fresh juice from veggies, wheatgrass, and fruits. Busy folks will also appreciate this juicer; its product can resist deterioration for up to 72 hours.
However, the juicer can be annoyingly slow because of the small chute, making it unsuitable for people who prefer juicing in a jiffy.
Good Value?
The Omega J8006HDS Nutrition Center has over time managed to exceed the expectation of its users in more ways than one.
This masticating juicer employs a Dual stage mechanism that allows the ingredients to be pressed twice, which leads to a drier pulp, minimal waste and maximum yield. With this efficient beast, juicing leafy greens and hard produce while causing minimal oxidation has never been easier.
Besides, this juicer is a versatile kitchen appliance capable of handling a host of functions like making pasta, baby food or butter, as well as grinding spices, coffee beans and frozen foods.
In conclusion, The Omega 8006 masticating juicer is a great investment; it provides an easy, economical way of incorporating life-extending nutrients into one’s diet.

Expert Ratings of Omega Juicer 8006
There’s some conflicting data in your report….At times, you mention a 200 Watt motor and other time you write it’s 150 Watts. Look in your “specifications” box…it reads “Motor 150 Watts” . The Omega J8006HDs is 200 Watts.
