 The New Generation of JuicersAug 21, 2009
By Jimmy Morelli
The first impression.
Let me start off by saying the construction of this machine is impressive. There was not a flimsy piece of plastic on the entire machine. The entire set-up is heavy gauge plastic, the machine easily reflects the $350 price tag, no questions asked. The machine is a lot heavier than most kitchen appliances, which is not a bad a thing. The machine was easy to clean and easy to assemble.
Performance.
To use this juicer you will need to cut up the produce, such as beets, apples, anything large and round. You need to cut them up anyway with your 3" shoot on the centrifugal juicer, most apples don't fit and the larger beats don't either. I use the apple corer/cuter from Pampered Chef, you can use it for the beets as well. Carrots fit fine, I could see some of the very large carrots needing to be cut.
The juicing operation is fast and effort less. They give you a pusher but you will not need it. The machine's design automatically pulls the produce into the hopper. All you need to do if feed the machine. The machine is extremely quiet, such a relief when I first turned it on, it almost sounds like a can opener but quieter. It's pretty simple, the produce gets crushed by the auger then pressed against the top metal mesh filter ring, then squeezed more then pressed against the bottom filter ring (there is one filter that consists of a top metal filter about an inch of plastic separating then a bottom ring, check the picture to get a better idea). There is also a outer self cleaning cover over the filter with three sets of three squiggy things one for the top filter, one for the bottom filter and one large one for the outer case. This thing cleans itself as it works, pour some water in the machine between juicing and it removes the remnants of what you just juiced, getting it ready for your next produce. Don't get me wrong this thing does not literally clean itself but the self cleaning mechanism makes it simple to clean at the end of juicing. The juice is separated from the pulp and flows out a spout in the bottom front of the machine and the pulp gets pushed out a shoot on the bottom side, it's actually pretty cool to watch, there is very little juice left in the pulp, much more efficient than the 3 models I tried.
Quality of the juice.
They advertise that by squeezing the produce you get a better tasting juice with more vitamins. I was skeptical when I read it. When I took my first sip of carrot juice I could tell the difference immediately. I couldn't figure out how to describe it though, it's both juice from a carrot, how can one taste so different. This might not make sense but this is how I will describe the taste difference. The juice from the centrifugal machines taste as if it was watered down compared to the juice from the Omega Vert. When I took my first sip of apple juice, there was no comparisons, the taste was so crisp and fresh, actually like taking a bite from an apple. I was amazed at the difference.
Orange juice from every juicer I have used never tasted like the fresh squeezed store bought juice, With the Omega Vert it does, same consistency with no separation, the separation you see in the glass of juice from a centrifugal juicer is what gives it the watered down taste. I am not knocking the juice that comes from other machines but to understand what I am saying you need to find away to taste the juice this machine puts out. I guarantee you will instantly taste the difference as I have and have an entire different outlook on juicing. I guess the high rpm's actually cause flavor to be lost, my theory is the shredding and spinning not the heat as others say, the machine spins so quickly that most of the liquid that escapes is water that is missing most of the vitamins, sugars, flavor and fibers. The Omega Vert operates at very low rmp's, and squeezes instead of shreds and spins
The one thing Omega did say was that there is no froth to the juice as it is squeezed and not spun, this was not true. There was very little froth compared to centrifugal models but it is present, but as I said there is no visible separation of the juice and it tastes absolutely fantastic.
Conclusion.
This juicer is expensive, but from what I have seen on my first day it is worth it just on construction alone, plus it comes with a 10 year FULL warranty, if anything breaks it is replaced. I have not dealt with their customer service department that much, I did asks them two questions via e-mail and it took 24 hours for a reply, but that's normal. They did ship the juicer out within 7 days which is good for a manufacturer. I hope I never have to deal with them enough to write about it in a review.
If juicing is a lifestyle to you then this is the juicer for you, hands down. It takes a little bit longer to prepare produce and clean the machine, add up that total extra time between this juicer and a centrifugal one and your only looking at a 5 minute difference. It all depends on how you prepare and what handy kitchen tools you have. I have only used this machine once but I have been juicing long enough to know a good thing when I see it. I want to submit this review because there are very few out there. From what I have seen with the quality the juice I am convinced I found my juicer. Only time will tell regarding to the machines durability and reliability, but as I said this thing is built like a tank and has a 10 year full warranty.
If you are going to purchase this juicer than purchase it through Omega's website, www.omegajuicer.com , they offer a 30 day money back guarantee. Amazon does not carry this juicer so you will not get their guarantee, every site selling on Amazon only excepts returns where the box has not been opened and the machine has never used plus add on to that a hefty restocking fee. I like shopping with the little guy but that is crazy. I like purchasing Amazon when I can as they have never done wrong by me but it was unfortunate they didn't carry this.
I normally don't leave a review at least a good review until I have used the product for at least two weeks, sometimes more. There are very little reviews out there of this juicer out there and it needs more as it is worth it. I have fallen in love with this thing and am convinced this thing is golden. I just want others out there to make sure they are aware I have only used this once , I used carrots, beets, oranges and celery on this all with great results and great performance. If you check You Tube you can find videos of demonstrations and comparisons with other machines. Checkout the Alive and aware site or Ferns, both sell this juicer on Amazon, they have good info and videos. Also try discountjuicers.com they have good info as well. Just remember if you buy and want a 30 day guarantee return policy buy from Omegajuicers.com.
Hope this helps.
Update 4/14/2011. I have used this juicer for close to 2 years now and just wanted to let you know it still works just as good as it did the day I first used it. This is absolutely a great juicer.

 good design, poor quality, SLOW customer serviceOct 22, 2010
By Robert R Daniel
We bought the VRT330 in May of 2010 and used it daily. For the first 6 weeks we couldn't have been happier, as was Omega and Amazon too I'm sure, because it made it past the 30 refund period. It is easy to clean, simple to assemble and the juice was great...at first. However, over time we noticed more and more pulp in our juice (we mostly juice carrots, apples, spinach, beets & occasionally kale). We attributed it to wear (all the parts are primarily plastic), and figured with the good warranty we would simply replace what we figured was the obviously worn auger when it became bad enough that we couldn't live with it.
After a few months it continued to expel more and more pulp into our juice and we couldn't live with it. Additionally it had developed another nasty habit of leaking out the bottom of the clear plastic tub and running juice all over the counter. I contacted Omega and after a few emails and phone calls they agreed to replace the auger... then it took nearly a month to ship it to me! Well now we finally have the new auger and guess what? the auger didn't help and in addition juice is leaking out the unit all over our kitchen counter to boot. Obvious conclusion, at best; the basket assembly is worn as well and the gaskets are already gone. At worst, the locking mechanism is worn and can't adequatly clamp the unit together to seal the components together. There is SO much pulp in the juice (no matter which screen we use) that it is useless. Omega is saying they'll make it right. Their version of making it right is to MAYBE send an entire new unit (they have to think about it first and we as vegetarians that juice daily have to go with out a juicer in the mean time). No commitment and no hurry on Omega's part to that and no satisfaction either. At this point I simply want my money back. My opinion is that the juicer is a good design, but the quality of the components is severely lacking. Especially so, for the $350 price tag.
I've read the other reviews (and believe me I read them BEFORE I purchased this unit too). I think the folks that made the good reviews jumped in and wrote their review right away after receiving the unit and trying it a few days. Had I done that (in the first few weeks) I would have happily gave an awsome review too, because the juice really really is superior in this juicer...when it is working. However, if you use this daily, or give it time if you use it occasionally... you will NOT be happy. At this point, neither will I unless they refund my money. Poor...Poor...POOR quality of components and mediocre at best (hey they do at least answer the phone and will respond to an email) customer service.

The Best Juicer Ever!Jan 21, 2010
By George B. Martin
Over the years, I've purchased a number of juicers, but usually quickly stop using them because the cleanup is too difficult or time-consuming. I've been using the Omega Vert since September 2009 without worries. It's relatively quiet and I simply disassemble the parts, wash and reassemble in about a minute and a half. There are really only five or six parts and only one that really needs to be brushed.
Also, this might sound crazy, but the juice tastes better and there is far more juice from this juicer than any other.
I've never written a review on Amazon, but I felt I had to after reading a review from some guy from San Diego who, in the process of pushing another product, complained about the juicer. I was astonished at how off-base his review was. He's correct that there is a little rubber piece that easily pops in and pops out to make cleaning the unit much, much easier, but his criticism that this is a problem because he almost lost the rubber piece is amazing. Not only does Omega provide you a duplicate, but it never even occured to me that someone might lose the piece. Just take it out, clean, put back in. Also, he complains that he broke his machine by accidentally snapping the lid on the wrong way while he was half asleep. He must have seriously worked to force it on the wrong way as I don't even understand how what he is talking about is possible looking at the machine! Crazy.
Bottom line: This is the best juicer I've ever used in terms of taste and (just as importantly) ease of use. The criticisms from the previous user are either fictitious or the result of almost mind-bogglingly weird operator error and unless you are literally trying to break the machine, you won't run into any of the problems the reviewer noted.

The BEST juicer ever!!Aug 10, 2009
By shoppingbird
The Omega Vert juicer is hands down the BEST juicer I've ever owned. I've tried many (including several centrifugal juicers and even spent $500 on a Greenstar). There are 2 things that are important to me regarding juicers-the RPM and the cleanup. It's important to me to use a juicer that has a low RPM vs. using a centrifugal(which has an extremely high RPM) because I want the best quality juice possible. If I'm going to spend money buying fresh organic produce, I don't want to ruin it by heating it up(which a high RPM does). I want to get the most for my money and get as many nutrients as possible. The Omega Vert has a low 70 RPM. Now to the cleanup...a breeze. There was no scrubbing(even though it comes w/a scrub brush). Everything rinsed out well, so all I had to do was soap everything up and rinse. It also helps that there's very few parts to clean (compared to many other juicers). There's only 8 parts total and that includes the 2 juice/pulp containers. Cleaning the Vert compared to centrifugal juicers(that have horrible baskets that are the worst to clean) is an absolute breeze. The Vert is compact(not large like a Greenstar), so I can keep it out on my counter as I plan to use it almost everyday. To me the Greenstar has way too many parts, is too large and too much of a pain to even think about using. Some hardcore juicers may disagree, but for me I need something quick & easy or I will not use it. If you're looking for a quality juicer, this is your best bet-thanks Omega!

 Almost Best JuicerNov 23, 2009
By S. Brianne
I love the way this Juicer juice vegetables easily especially green vegetables. The Juicer itself could stand some improvements the plastic juice stainer does crack very easy and it also stains very easy. After using it for one day I noticed that the strainer was cracked along the plastic bottom. Omega should make the strainer out of stainless steel. Omega should supply more than one of the yellow plastic devices thats needed to make the juice, it would be even better if they would design it so that the little yellow rubber device is not needed. I am going to keep the juicer because I really like the way it performs even thou it takes a little longer to clean and I also like the fact that it takes up very little space on the counter top.
