This Omega juicer works really well. It will juice hard vegetables very well (carrots, beets) and juicy fruits like oranges and grapefruits. It has a little bit of a harder time with soft fruit like pears and apples, meaning that it will juice them but it will take longer: basically it is harder with pulpy fruit to squeeze them through the thin filter.
The only vegetable that it didn't juice well was tomatoes (very pulpy). Even then though, the engine had no problem and was never strained. The juice could have been better if i had been more patient and let it run longer.
It is very easy to assemble and take apart. On average I will set it up, cut up fruit and veggies and juice them (about 16 oz of juice), and then disassemble and wash in under 10 minutes.
It will juice about as fast as you can stick veggies in it. I have yet to try the other attachment, but I cannot foresee any problems.
The pulp is almost dry to dry to the touch, and I have not yet had to use the extra strainer for the foam. It will have up to 1/4 inch of foam on top, but once you pour the juice in a glass it mixes with the juice and disappears.
I have a friend that has this juicer for about 2 years now and he still loves it. Before he bought it, he did a lot of research into different types and brands of juicers. This one was not the cheapest, but was still reasonable. It is also a solid company that backs the product. It also had the potential to juice wheatgrass and leafy vegetables, which was appealing.
He hasn't regretted this purchase for one second; it has been awesome! He has juiced just about every kind of vegetable and fruit including celery, carrots, spinach, parsley, apples, lemons, oranges, watermelon, cantaloupe, strawberries, etc. This juicer is awesome all around. Does it leave your orange pulp completely dry? No, but it is pretty darn close.
I use mine every day to juice oranges in the morning for breakfast and it is great. I have done several juice fasts with it and this thing just keeps on going. It is easy to disassemble and clean. The price is definitely right for such a quality juicer. As a side note, I recommend juicing to everyone.
It has done wonders for my weight and the way I feel. I have lost 40 lbs using this juicer as a main tool, and it has been great!

Princess Electric Juicer
I had seen this product on an infomercial a few years back, but thought that it was too overpriced to purchase at the time. I think it was selling for something like $200 or so. Over the summer I saw the same item selling for $100 & decided to try it.
I believe that what I purchased wasn't quite this model, but was the Pro version. In any case, as soon as it arrived I read through the accompanying recipe booklet & was intrigued by the varying flavor combinations & went to the market stand to purchase some fresh fruits & vegetables. My first attempt was a ginger, apple, carrot concoction. It was obvious after one sip that I had used too much ginger. Oops! At least I knew it was getting juice from the ginger! *LOL*
I waited to see how the juice would affect my blood sugar, miraculously, without the added artificial sugars, my blood sugar stayed even & I knew that this was exactly what I needed to be able to broaden my dietary habits & enjoy juice.
As advertised, I hadn't had to cut the ginger or the carrot to fit it the chute. I did cut the apple in half, but I left the seeds & stem, also advertised, the juicer didn't seem to have a problem getting through these bits.
I set about cleaning my juicer for the next use & let me tell you, this was a pain & a half, if you hadn't already guessed, I hate cleaning. Juice had spilled on my countertops making them sticky, the pulp catcher had somehow detached as it had "juiced" other items & the pulp that it throws off isn't as dry as they claim. After taking apart the aparatus I had to basically hose off the chute part. Thank goodness I have a big enough sink to spray it off in the sink otherwise I might have had to take it outside & hose it off. The hardest part to clean was the part with all the "teeth". I found it very difficult to get all the food particles off of this piece.
Not willing to give up after one use & having realized the benefit of being able to enjoy fruit juice without passing out, I re-read the directions & discovered that they recommend placing a plastic bag in the pulp catcher.
Deciding to try again with my newfound knowledge, my next few attempts were juicing several fruits for a fruit smoothie. I began by juicing an orange & a pineapple, after finding that a gallon size plastic ziploc bag just wasn't quite big enough I found that a plastic grocery bag was much easier. The plastic bag allowed me to juice several items & either transfer the pulp to a ziploc bag or toss it with much less cleanup as I no longer have to wash the pulp catcher, a quick rinse of this item after using the bag (if at all seems to suffice).
After juicing various concoctions for smoothies & the like & enjoying them, I found that juicing single items like oranges & peaches to be absolutely wonderful. The taste is absolutely amazing if you drink it within a few seconds of being juiced. I also found that I prefer using the juicer when juice is called for in a recipe such as a sorbet, smoothie, or marinade instead of using the store bought sugar laden versions.
Cleaning the "teeth" & the compartment attached to the chute is still a pain, but I've become much more proficient at it as I've used it more.
All in all I think that this type of juicer is a great idea & would be welcomed by many a health conscious individual, but I think that there is room for improvement.
I believe that if the manufacturer were to make it more durable by changing the material it is made from(as I'm not sure how long the plastic parts will hold up under constant use) & to make it easier to clean I think it would have a much better track record.
What I can't be sure of is if different material were used if it would be more expensive than it already is as the point would be to make a good enough product inexpensive enough to be brought to the masses.

Sunkist Juicer
The Jadite Sunkist juicer is a blast from the past. If you are old enough to know what a juicer is, then you will remember your mother using one to make you some fresh squeezed orange juice for breakfast. It is a shallow glass container with a ribbed cone on the top and a shallow rimmed dish on the bottom to catch the juice from the fruit that is being squeezed. The Jadite Sunkist juicer is an antique collectible that is a real treat to find. It is also sometimes called a reamer. The meaning of a reamer is a tool used to bore out a hole into something. If you were to cut a fruit in half and place the cut piece on the juicer and began to turn and squeeze at the same time you would get some juice from the fruit. That is how it got its name, by squeezing the juice from the fruit or reaming the juice from the fruit. The Jadite Sunkist juicer was a very essential tool to have and most homes had a juicer of some form to make their breakfast juice.
The Jadite Sunkist juicer is the color of Jade. Jadite refers to the color and not a company or maker of glass products. Jadite is an opaque green luster that is like a sea-foam green. Jadite is sometimes called “clambroth”. Jadite glass was an inexpensive to make type of dinnerware. It was also a very durable and heavy glass. Jadite was made between 1930 and 1972. The Jadite was produced by many different glass companies. It may have had a slight variance in color, either lighter or darker. One of the most well known is Anchor Hocking glass company. Anchor Hocking made a line of Fire King that also had the seafoam-green color. The Jadite Sunkist juicer was made as an advertisement for the Sunkist Company. What a perfect way to advertise your fruit by giving away a Jadite Sunkist juicer.
Sunkist was first known as the Southern California Fruit Exchange in 1893. It was a cooperative of fruit growers that united to sell their fruit. The Coop was run and shared by the members of the Exchange. It became a very profitable means for the growers to all work together as a team to distribute their fruit. In 1905 the Exchange changed its name to California Fruit Growers Exchange. With all the advertising and promotions of the Fruit Growers the orange started to become a household item. The Jadite Sunkist juicer could have been one of there promotional items. Sunkist was introduced in 1907 and became the symbol of there best quality of fruit. In 1952, Sunkist Growers was the name that was used by the members of the Exchange. Oranges, grapefruit, lemons make up well over half of the citrus produced with a Sunkist label. It is a perfect job for the Jadite Sunkist juicer to harvest the vitamin rich juice from the delicious Sunkist fruit.
If collecting glass or kitchen items is of interest to you then the Jadite Sunkist juicer is a treasure worth searching for. The novelty of having the Sunkist logo and the added value of the Jadite color is worth owning such a fine collectible. We could tell the tales of a time when our mother or grandmother had to get her juicer from the cupboard and squeeze the juice from her favorite fruit to make a glass of juice. It is a reminder of times when we has to do things for ourselves. The quality and freshness of a fruit drink that has been squeezed by a juicer is pure and very good to drink. The Jadite Sunkist juicer can squeeze my fruit any day of the week.

Metrokane Juicer
Metrokane is best known as a provider of manual juice extractors that can be used in households an bars. The popularity of Metrokane juicers is proved by a Mighty OJ juicer which is the best selling manual juice extractor across the globe.
Of course, you can choose any type of product from Metrokane since they are making only quality appliances. You need to figure out how much fresh juice you need in one day and then you can choose the best Metrokane juicer for yourself. The choices are good and Metrokane citrus version can satisfy any need that you have.
First thing you will notice about them that they are designed a bit different then other similar products. This is another reason why Metrokane is so different on the market of home and bar appliances. Even if you are a professional bartender, you won't find a flaw in these products.
You can choose between Citrus Power Professional, Mighty OJ and L-Press.
Citrus Power Professional has a 1,00 pounds of pressure which is a value other products can't even come close to. This makes it extremely easy to use, so limes, oranges, lemons and grapefruit will be squeezed in matter of seconds. You just need to swing the level and you have a fresh cup of juice in front of you.
It is much faster and cleaner then the electric juicer. You simply need to pull the level, but slowly, and that's it. Do not go fast with the level, because that will put to much pressure on the machine itself and it will break down sooner. It is made out of stainless steel, but even that material has its limits and can be damaged in time. When it comes to parts for cleaning, you only have one and it is all hand cleaned. No need for dishwasher to reach those tough spots.
I suggest you find a discount Metrokane juicer, since the full retail price is a bit high for just manual version. If you can find cheap juice extractor, that would be a fine addition to your healthy lifestyle for sure. And bear in mint that electrical versions of Metrokane are a bit cheaper then the manual. This shows you how much this product is really worth and that you should consider it in front of others.
