Omega J8006HDS Review

This is the cheapest machine on this site that carries a 15-year warranty, and it is a horizontal auger, which is the shape that handles the hardest produce. Those two facts together make it our overall best-value pick. What it costs you is counter depth and a narrow chute, both of which are time rather than money.

What Omega states

• 80 RPM, against the 1,650 to 15,000 RPM Omega cites for typical juice extractors.
• A triple-stage auger.
• 200 W, 110-120 V.
• A 15-year limited warranty.
• Nut butter, pasta extrusion, coffee and spice grinding, herb mincing, baby food and frozen desserts as additional functions.
• High juice yield -- marketed, with no figure attached.
• Juice storage up to 72 hours without degradation, which Omega attributes to the low speed limiting oxidation.

That storage claim is worth noting because it is one of very few quantified statements anybody makes in this category. It is Omega's own claim, we found no independent verification, and we report it as such -- but 72 hours is a specific number, which is more than most brands offer. How long fresh juice lasts covers it in context.

Why the warranty is the headline

Across our registry, 15 years is the top of the range and it is otherwise found only on machines costing substantially more -- Hurom's H400, Kuvings' REVO830 and AUTO10, Omega's own VSJ843 and NC900HDC. Below that, Tribest quotes 10 to 12 years, Cuisinart 3, Hamilton Beach 3, and Ninja and Nutribullet 1.

A warranty is the one number on a product page that is a commitment rather than a claim. Omega is saying it expects this machine to still be working in fifteen years, and it is saying that at roughly half the price of the premium verticals. Divide price by years of cover and nothing else on this site competes.

What the horizontal auger gives you

You push produce along the auger rather than relying on gravity to drop it on, which means you control the feed. That matters most for the produce verticals struggle with: wheatgrass, very fibrous greens, and small hard pieces like ginger and turmeric that can sit on top of a vertical auger instead of being drawn in.

It also handles celery well, for the same reason -- a stalk pushed along an auger cannot bridge the way a bundle dropped into a chute can. See juicers for celery and juicers for wheatgrass.

What it costs

• Counter depth. Omega publishes 19.22 in of width for the sibling NC900HDC; this machine is comparable. You also need side clearance to feed it.
• Prep, every session. The chute is narrow. Apples get quartered, celery gets cut to length, and there is a board and knife in the sink afterwards.
• Cleanup. More parts than any vertical, and the long housing is awkward to brush. No manufacturer publishes a cleanup time.
• No pressure adjustment. That is the NC900HDC's feature, and if you want it you pay for it. The comparison covers whether you need it.

Who this is for

Somebody who has decided juicing is a long-term habit and wants the machine most likely to still be working in a decade. Somebody whose produce includes celery, greens or wheatgrass. And somebody willing to trade prep time for money, which at this price is the trade on offer.

Who should skip it

Anybody with a shallow counter -- a horizontal machine is a genuine spatial commitment. Anybody who mostly juices whole apples and oranges, because you will spend your life chopping to fit a narrow chute when a wide-chute machine would take them whole.

And anybody for whom cleanup is the deciding factor. This is one of the more involved machines to wash on the site, and the easiest juicers to clean is a different page with different machines on it.

Where it appears on this site

The J8006HDS is our overall winner on best juicers and our value pick on best value juicers, best juicers under $300, best masticating juicers, juicers for celery, leafy greens, kale and spinach, ginger, turmeric, beets and wheatgrass.

Omega J8006HDS · $200–400 · Our score 7.9/10

Omega states 80 RPM, a triple-stage auger, 200 W and a 15-year limited warranty -- and that warranty at this price is the reason this machine tops our best juicers page. The horizontal auger handles celery, greens and wheatgrass that most verticals do poorly, and the same machine extrudes nut butter, pasta and sorbet. You pay in counter depth and in prep chopping.

What works

• 15-year warranty at a mid-range price
• A horizontal auger handles stringy celery and greens well
• Doubles as a nut-butter, pasta and sorbet extruder

What does not

• Narrow chute means constant prep chopping
• Takes significant counter depth
• Omega publishes no yield or cleanup figure to compare

Skip this if: You juice mostly whole apples and oranges. You will spend your life chopping to fit a narrow horizontal chute.
