Omega 8004 juicer

Got it from Bed Bath and Beyond for $200 w/ the 20% off coupon you can always get for signing up to their e-mail list (use a dummy, works fine). Makes a nice alternative to a green smoothie - a decade of drinking terrible alcoholic mixtures makes it easy to toss back 20oz of whatever healthy foods I throw into it. If I can spend a night shooting nothing but Four Horsemen (Rumple, Jager, Goldschlager, 151), kale and collard greens alone ain't shit.
Works great for greens, beets, carrots, celery, etc.. Haven't bothered trying to juice citrus, apparently it will just turn them into baby food.
Borrowed a Breville from someone first and fuck that shit. Cleaning the giant screen and disassembling the whole deal every time is more trouble than it's worth. Cleaning the Omega takes 2-3 minutes, the screen is tiny. Pulp comes out dry, I'm getting noticeably more juice than via Breville.
I've tried making beet/carrot/etc. juice in the Vitamix and that works okay but even with water it never thins out to the right consistency. I prefer my Vitamix for when I want to add seeds and powder and make it a real smoothie.
