Omega (VRT350) Vertical Masticating Juicer Reviews

I am really pleased with this purchase. The juicier extracts extremely well. There is no unpleasant mechanical noise. I wish I would have purchased this sooner. I highly recommend it.

No issues besides slight hairline pressure cracks under the bowl where it hooks into the base, the silicone insert in the middle of the bowl just needs to be oiled with some vegetable oil, preventing the bowl base from over tightening during use/spinning. Also both 1 star reviews could have easily prevented both issues from the breaking filter screen and the dirty parts. The white screen which broke was not the HD ultem plastic screen, so its only designed for soft fruit/veg. And the dirty parts and thanks to lazy cleaning. John Kohler explains both these issues in youtube videos are thanks to people not reading the manual and assuming because of the high price paid it will be indestructible or clean it self...

I have been juicing for years and have a few juicers. I have had a couple low end juicers that waste a lot of produce. I also have some high end centrifugal juicers that work well but still don't get the most out our fruits and veggies. While I still sometimes use one of my other juicers, the Vert 350hd takes care of about 90% of what I want to juice. We use it almost everyday. It's great at making almond milk and juicing wheat grass. Sometimes I notice that I get a little more pulp than other times. I found that to reduce the amount of pulp, simply pour the juice back through the machine. Another tip is to juice items that get "stringy" such as celery last. We had an issue with this unit when we first purchased it, and was amazed at how good the customer service was. I definitely recommend this product!

I spent a lot of time and research before purchasing the VRT 350 Talked to friends with high speed juicers and low speed juicers Looked online and decided to go with the VRT 350 Very happy with results. I learned over time the best way to feed the veggies and fruits into the hopper so as to not jam the machine Any machine will jam if you force feed it I cut all items into small peices and drop in one at a time Leafy items are followed by juicy items like cukes and tomatoes to keep the screen lubricated and the machine extracting the pulp Carrots are an excellent item to put in to clean out the machine in between leafy items as well

I credit this juicer with helping me lose significant weight in just a few months. I have had this machine since 2010 but just recently started getting serious with it. It came with two juicing screens, one fine mesh and the other medium. The latter has broken after only a week or two of use. It broke while masticating broccoli, which I cut up before feeding it in. What do I need to do to get a replacement for the juicing screen, medium mesh?

I have had the VRT 350 for 3 years now. I use it everyday and I prepare enough juice for 2 of us for breakfast and lunch which is 4 quarts. I hand clean all the parts after processing with just water and about every six months I will soak them in Oxiclean to help remove all of the oxidation and place in dishwasher after the soaking. This machine by is far a better juicer than the high speed cintrifical jiuces. The quality of the juice isn't comparable. I have had to get 2 of the strainers replaced during this time but it is covered under warranty and no hassle during communication with Omega. Great product!

I love this juicer. For 10 years I had a loud spinning juicer that sent everything flying and was difficult to clean. The Omega 350VRT HD is so much easier to use and clean. Plus the juice is far better and lasts longer (we store our extra juice in a stainless steel bottle in the fridge for up to 2 days). The trick with this juicer (and others) is to clean it well after each use. I've had mine for 3 years and juice nearly every day. While there can be some build up of residue from the juiced items, I have found that soaking it in a light bleach solution will remove all the gunk and make everything crystal clear again. I only do that every 6 to 12 months though.

When I purchased the 350-VRT, that was the "best one". At over $400 I got around 1 year of use. Now, all the parts are gungy and require replacing. I was one that would wash the parts IMMEDIATELY after juicing, even before I drank my juice. Also, as soon as I would juice more that 12 oz, the juicer started producing all sorts of large pulp particles. I feel for the price I spent, it was not worth it. Now that I need to replace the parts, I'm half way to a Norwalk juicer. Definitely something to keep in mind before you drop 400+ on one of these. The parts should not cost what they do to replace when they require replacement so quickly

I had the juicer about 2 and a half years now and it works great I love it however every time i start to juice I hesitate and wonder if its safe because all the the amber parts have become horribly discolored, the black auger is loosing paint and the white basket holder has stained over time. I have always cleaned these parts by hand right after juicing with a mild detergent. With the cost to replace these parts I would be close to buying a whole new juicer. Tried to add photos kept getting errors

The Omega 350 has proven to be a worthwhile upgrade. The pulp comes out very dry so I'm sure I'm getting every bit of juice from my fruit and veggies. It's easy to use and easy to clean.
