Omega 8006HD Juicer

This is a slightly older version of Omega's 8006HDC model. I bought it a little over 2 years ago as part of a juice fast, but just haven't found the time to use it since we've had 2 kids in 3 years! It's in great shape - I only used it for 1 week before I put it back in the box. This is a horizontal single gear masticating juice extractor, which differentiates it from higher speed, louder models like the Breville juicers. Using a low speed of 80 RPMs results in minimal heat build up and oxidation promoting healthy enzymes and longer lasting juices. Designed and engineered for health-conscious individuals who want a greater variety in their daily juicing routine, this 8006 has the ability to also juice everything from wheat grass and leafy greens to fruits and vegetables. It will even juice citrus fruits, usually one of the hardest fruits to juice. You can do more than that, though - turn nuts into nut butters, extrude pasta, grind coffee and spices, mince herbs and garlic, make baby food and frozen desserts, and extrude soy milk. The 15 Year Warranty – the longest in the Industry – guarantees you’ve purchased “the last juicer you will ever need to own.” The single gear extraction method features a patented auger that features two stage juice extraction which helps to increase yield over other single stage auger juicers. You'll especially notice this when trying to juice greens like wheatgrass, kale, collards, chard, cabbage, spinach (even pine tree needles!) that you'll get barely anything out of with a centrifugal juicer. This heavy-duty juicer features a patented, stone mill-like screw, made of GE’s ULTEM material, which is 8 times stronger than augers on other single auger juicers. The powerful motor chews the plant fibers and penetrates membranes to extract vitamins, enzymes, and minerals, and automatically ejects pulp into a pulp container that allows for continuous juicing, high juice yield, and a very dry pulp. The single gear also produces less foam than double gears. Here are a few other features / specs: * Built-in "reverse" prevents clogging * User friendly - easy to assemble, operate and clean. * No separate attachments needed * 2 Horsepower equivalent with the gear reduction. * UL and cUL approved * LABELED for HOUSEHOLD and COMMERCIAL USE * 120 volts 60 Hz 150 watts
