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!

If your pulp feels a little wet, RUN IT THROUGH AGAIN! That's one of the advantages with an auger type juicer.
