Since its UK launch in 2010, the Omega Juicer 8006 Nutrition Centre has led the market, carving a global reputation as one of the best single auger masticating juicers ever made. A durable build, eye-catching design and comprehensive warranty have helped to set Omega Juicers apart from the field. With the best juice yield from a single auger juicer that we've recorded, the 8006 is also fantastic at processing both leafy greens and wheatgrass and it sees heavy use of premium materials such as GE Ultem throughout its key juicing components.
The 8006 isn't simply a juicer, it is a full nutrition centre, that can lend itself to aid any area of kitchen life. In particular it is brilliant for the processing of different types of food and has a variety of useful functions in this area.
Each of these functions can be easily carried out in the 8006 with the aid of the homogenising blank and the various additional accessories. All together this leads to a very versatile product that has moved well beyond the bounds of being a juicer. When used to it's full potential you could make a huge range of foods, including: sorbets, nut butters, breadcrumbs, pates, coffee, herbs and much more in the 8006.
The 8006 is a simple juicer, that seeks to make itself easy to use. Cleaning it is straightforward and it has been optimised at levels beyond many other masticating juicers. This is particularly evident from the juicing screen, which has a much smaller surface area compared to other juicers, yet is still able to keep up and produce fantastic yields. It also has less areas for pulp to get stuck in, ensuring that the majority of the pulp produced will end up in the container, not the juicer itself.
With a gentle 80 RPM operation, the augur in this juicer prevents heat from building up and reduces oxidisation as it processes ingredients. This helps to preserve the essential enzymes and vitamins found within them, which are gently released by the strong crushing power of the 8006. This all results in juices that have unequalled nutritional value and taste.
The Omega 8006 is quite simply one of the best juicers you can buy. It's incredible value for money and packs amazing performance and versatility together in a compact but smooth form. It's widely recommended by health professionals all over the world and it’s the only juicer that the Gerson Institute and the Hippocrates Health Institute both endorse. Both of these are considered to be two of the foremost leading authorities on juicing globally. If you’re considering buying a single auger juicer, this Omega should always be up for consideration.
Please be aware, that the 8006 is sold in Europe under a different model name. The 8226 European model is identical to the 8006, but it is built to be compatible with a 220 volt power supply. Other than this, no changes have been made to the motor or parts.
So this is my 4th juicer and this time I decided to spend a little more in the hope that I wasn't disappointed. I have to say that so far it is performing really well. I am pleased with how little waste it leaves compared to other machines, it seems to squeeze every bit of juice out. The machine is also one of the easiest to clean that I've tried. it comes with a very handy little brush but it generally rinses very easily without the need for this. I've enjoyed making fruit and vegetable juices but also experimented and made very successful almond butter and also varieties of energy balls made from dried fruit, nuts and seeds - it is unstoppable. Very pleased and would recommend it to friends no problem.
