Omega J8006 Nutrition Center Low Speed Masticating Juicer, Black and Chrome
The Omega J8006 Nutrition Center is a masticating style juicer. Sometimes referred to as a low speed juicer, the Nutrition Center processes at 80rpm, whereas most other juicers process at a speed of 1,650 to 15,000rpm. The low speed protects and maintains healthy enzymes, prevents oxidation and allows juice to be stored up to 72 hours without degradation. The GE Ultem Auger is 8x stronger than most other plastics and the powerful gear reduction is equivalent to a 2HP Motor. The dual stage juice processing system extracts the maximum amount of juice from fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, even wheatgrass! You can also use the nutrition center to turn nuts into nut butters (an all-natural peanut butter), make baby food from natural, fresh ingredients, whip up soy milk, extrude pasta, grind coffee and spices, and mince herbs and garlic. Make delicious and nutritious drinks and snacks that everyone will love. Measuring 7in wide, 15.5in deep and 8.5in tall.Usage of more frozen foods (fruit, ice cream, etc.) than liquids leads to the foods sticking to the sides of blender jars or the mixture becomes stiff (frozen) and will not flow. The juice screen is already installed in the juicerNote:some noise is to be expected. Please set the Juicer on top of a thin towel to help stabilize and mitigate noise.
Product Features
- Low speed, masticating style juicing system
- Omega’s Nutrition Center does more than just juice. You can turn nuts into nut butters (an all-natural peanut butter), make baby food from natural, fresh ingredients, whip up soy milk, extrude pasta, grind coffee and spices, and mince herbs and garlic.
- Includes a GE Ultem Auger which is 8x stronger than most other plastics.
- Powerful gear reduction is equivalent to a 2HP Motor.
- Juicer processes at 80rpm’s. Low speed or masticating style juicer squeezes, instead of grinding, which allows the juice to maintain its pure color, natural taste, vitamins and nutrients.
- Dual stage juicer. First, juice is extracted by crushing the fruit or vegetable. Then, before the pulp is ejected, the pulp is squeezed during the second pressed stage. This results in a higher yield of juice and a very dry pulp.
- Extracts the maximum amount of nutrients, vitamins, taste and juice from minimum amounts of fruits, vegetables, leafy greens such as spinach and kale, even wheatgrass.
- Economical. Since the juicer is so efficient and productive, you’ll get the greatest amount of juice from the least amount of produce.
- The low speed system does not mean a longer time to juice. It means a more efficient juicer. More nutrients and antioxidants, plus better flavored juice and freshness.
- Engineered for quiet operation and longer life.
- The low speed system limits froth and foam preventing oxidation.
- Juice can be stored for up to 72 hours without degradation or the juice separation that occurs with other juicers.

Found this to be a pragmatic and workable solution to making decent juices…
-Sturdy, with the result that one can drop firm fruits and veggies in with impunity.
-two front-end elements, one for juicing and one for making more viscous products, like nut butters
-given the number of moving parts, is relatively easy to assemble/disassemble and clean. Two “hubs” lock and unlock the key moving parts which then disassemble with a bit of “muscle action”. The lock/unlock hubs are the secret behind making this a relatively easy deal to pull apart and then reassemble.
-To date, I have just cleaned the parts manually, then allowing to dry on the counter. The filter which takes the brunt of the juicing action is the most challenging; a brush is included, but I find that pre-soaking to get the embedded pulp as mushy as possible helps a bit.
-For the juicing spigot, there is a secondary filter that one can place into the receiving bowl. For purists, that grabs the final bit of pulp that may have gotten through, for the non-purist, one can not use it. My “middle ground” is to tamp the viscous liquid a bit with the tamper, getting the juice that can flow through the screen into the bowl. Yep, results in some fiber in the juice.
-Not as noisy as I was expecting
-the one challenge is learning how to slice and feed the chute. The feeding tube is relatively narrow, requiring some care in slicing product for insertion. I find it helps to follow soft stuff with hard stuff – lemon followed by carrot… as the firm stuff tends to drive through the system with greater ease.
The end result – with a moderate amount of care and effort – are juice products that are blended and as pulp-free as you want without excessive effort.

Great juicer. I have never had one but I had read the benefits of juicing in several articles and books. I went with the Omega because of the reviews and they were spot on. I can tell a huge difference in my energy levels and sleep patterns when I “juice.” It seems a little pricey at first, but since I use it every day, the cost is so minimal. I have noticed a difference in my complexion as well. It’s so hard to get the nutrients we need and this makes it so much easier for my husband and I. He loves his juice in the morning. Cleaning takes about 5 minutes. Would definitely recommend.

My husband insisted he would juice if he had a juicer. He did a lot of research and thought this was the best for the money price point. So far he has actually used it multiple times a week. My 18 month old loves to help put things into the tray to juice. We are pretty amazed by how dry veggies are after juicing. It’s easy to clean. The collecting containers stain a little bit after multiple uses of strongly colored foods. We have also used it for making nutella and mincing carrots for carrot cake.
