Omega 4000 Stainless-Steel 1/3-HP Continuous Pulp-Ejection Juicer

Stainless Steel Pulp Ejection Juice Extractor – Continuous Juicing. Enjoy healthy great-tasting juice quickly and easily with this electric fruit-and-vegetable juicer. The 250-watt small appliance features an efficient 1/3-horsepower induction motor for 5200 RPMs of speed; a heavy-duty stainless-steel blade, basket, and cover; and a large feed chute that can accommodate a variety of different-size produce (cut up over-sized items into smaller pieces as necessary).

Freshly squeezed juice dispenses from the spout directly into a glass or storage container, and pulp dispenses towards the back of the unit into a large-capacity pulp collector for easy disposal or composting–or, better yet, for adding flavor to sauces, soups, salsa, cakes, and more. The appliance comes in a compact size that takes up very little space, making it a nice choice for at home or at the office. Made in the USA, the UL-approved pulp-ejector-style continuous juicer measures 15 by 8 by 12-1/2 inches and carries a 15-year limited warranty.

Omega 4000 Stainless-Steel 1/3-HP Continuous Pulp-Ejection Juicer Review

Well designed machine does a great job
I picked this up on a lightning deal for $129.99 and I am quite happy. I know there are other machines out there for a lot less money, but none of them have the 15 year warranty or performance of this machine, from what I can tell. We have used it a couple of times thus far, and operation is easy, with cleanup being more hassle but not bad. Since the feed spout is only about 3″ x 2″, you have to cut up apples and similar size items, but the machine really gobbles up the pieces and has lots of semi-quiet power. I wish the outlet spout was slightly higher since we are juicing for 2 to 4 people, but I guess the height is great for people juicing for themselves only into a smaller glass. We found a small stoneware pitcher that fits perfectly and will handle juice for 4 large glasses.

I haven’t had a problem with stuff coming out the feed spout- you just cap it with the green plunger as soon as you put the items in there and push them down. The basket is a little tricky to remove for cleaning since it fits snugly on the hexagonal holder, but I am using a table knife inserted carefully under the rim to pry it up a bit- have to be careful not to damage the basket mesh. I wish they had included a cleaning brush, but I’ll pick up one with stiff nylon bristles at the $ store. The white plastic lid stained from carrots the first time, but I expected that from other reviews and who cares since it’s on the inside?

The juice is delicious- I never realized how much difference there is between fresh apple juice and store-bought. My picky kids give it 2 thumbs up. So far, we’ve done apples, pears, pineapple, oranges and carrots. Like I said, I am very happy with this well designed juicer.
